Pastor & Church Controlled 30 Ways to Sunday irs 501 Part 4

The only part I disagree with is the issue on race. I believe that any congregation has the right to include whom they wish, however, for somebody who is a "man of God" to use terms such as "mongrelization" just indicates that even the best of God's men still pick and choose what they wish to believe, and still will adhere to the traditions of men.

Typical fundamentalist.

Well, at least he came out of the gov't regulation system.

Atypical fundamentalist.

There will never be a Pastor anyone agrees with 100% Brother, but praise God he has done amazing things with Dr. Dixon and his son, Pastor Greg A. Dixon, since the unlawful seizure of the Indianapolis Baptist Temple property. They are now in a much better building and is still preaching Bible truth!

Out of all five of these videos, I have not heard not one thing that I didn't agree with, or that was offensive. That is until just about the very end of this one. I didn't know Pastor Dixon was an advocate of miscegenation ? But evidently he is ! Oh well, he's only human and a sinner just like the rest of us. Nobody's perfect. I personally agree that people should marry within their own race. But not because there is any alleged biblical commandment to do so. But rather for the children's sake.

Actually, Brother, I think that you misunderstood what Dr. Dixon was saying. He said that in order to qualify for the 501(c)(3) status you MUST promote the "mongrelization" of the races. He was not saying that he DID support that.

Fair enough. I guess I did take it the wrong way. But the reason I did was because if that's what a 501(c)(3) church must do, and he doesn't want to be one, then I took that to mean that he was in favor of miscegenation. Thanks for pointing out my misinterpretation.

The 1st Amendment protects the church from being subject to government regulation and taxation. Moreover, even Form 1023, which is the government application form (i.e. contract) for tax exempt recognition, clearly and explicitly states that churches are already considered and recognized as tax exempt even if they do not file Form 1023.
