Expertise

I am available to answer questions concerning most Biblical doctrines, Catholic beliefs, the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, and the history of the Pentecostal movement. Please understand that I will answer any questions you may have from a Biblical perspective, not a Catholic one.

Experience in the area

I have studied the Catholic religion for many years, and I have discussed questions and issues conserning this faith with those who are followers of the Catholic religion. I attend an independent Pentecostal church for twenty five years, and have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. I am also the new member’s class coordinator. I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations

I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Church Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma.

Education/Credentials

I am currantly enrolled with the Ames Bible College.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Mother Teresa was a universalists & believed one can be saved apart from faith in Jesus. When M.T. died biographer Naveen Chawla said he once asked her “Do you convert?” She said “Of course I convert. I convert you to be a better Hindu or a better Muslim or a better Protestant. Once you’ve found God it’s up to you to decide how to worship him” Mother Teresa Touched other Faiths, A.P. Sept 7, 1997

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The roman catholic church is a backslidden christian church which is at variance with the Bible and true Biblical doctrine, especially regarding praying to the dead, the veneration/worship of the virgin Mary, purgatory, and the nature of justification.
