Now in deep appreciation of God’s grace, the Portland leadership is taking the initiative to help rebuild any congregation that asks our help thereby aiding in rebuilding a global movement of “sold-out” disciples that will reach this lost world.
\nAs the “aroma of Christ”<\/strong><\/em> some will regard our efforts as “the smell of death”<\/strong><\/em> and others the “fragrance of life”<\/strong><\/em> (2 Corinthians 2:15-16) Let it be stated clearly, we are not trying to build a “new movement.” Yet since many “teachers” have chosen to preach “a different Jesus, a different gospel with a different spirit”<\/strong><\/em> (2 Corinthians 11:3), we realize like Paul our vision efforts and plans will short term cause division. Most view division always as sin, yet Pal says “No doubt there have to be divisions (differences) among you to show which of you have God’s approval.”<\/strong><\/em> (1 Corinthians 11:19)
\n…
\nHowever, as of this Jubilee the Portland leadership believes it is time for a progressive “calling out of the remnant of disciples” from dying, former ICOC Churches. … If a group asks for help to restore the foundation of sold-out disciples, we will help in any way we can. Biblically, disciples can never rebel against authority, yet as seen with David who “chose” to transfer his allegiance from the ungodly Saul to the uncircumcised Achish(1 Samuel 27:1-4) one is “free to choose” whom to submit to. In the fall the Portland leadership will begin to seek out church leaderships in congregations that are struggling to ask if we can help them build a foundation of sold-out disciples. If they are not inclined to receive help, then we will offer help to any group that would prefer to be in a new congregation composed of only sold-out disciples.<\/p>\n
