We believe there is nothing heretical about preaching against sin, accompanied by the remedy for it: the shed blood of Jesus Christ. This message, presented in six parts here on YT, provides both the call for repentance from sin, but also provides God's loving act of forgiveness from it. There is nothing unbiblical about that, thus, nothing heretical. We pray you will watch all parts of this message and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. Bless you. FHC

I am referring to the method as you are preaching what would be deemed an arminian "gospel", having everyone close their eyes and ask Jesus into your heart, etc. This method makes it very easy to get false converts.
Also tongues have ceased, also they were actual languages in the Scriptures and could only be spoken in Church if there was an interpreter present.

Part 1: There is no Scriptural basis for condeming any "method" used to help seekers express their faith in Christ as their Savior. Simply because you believe that "method" to be less effective does not make it so. We often have "altar calls" where the lost are invited to seek Christ in the altars; other times they are invited to call on the Lord from where they are seated. Neither method is condemned in Scripture, and both lead the lost to Christ.

Part 2: We believe the Bible concerning the subject of tongues and interpretation thereof. Both are gifts of the Holy Spirit given to the church and will not cease until the end of the church age. The Apostle Paul spoke in tongues and encouraged others to do the same ("I speak with tongues more than ye all" 1 Cor. 14:18).

Part 3: Several Scriptural references note that New Covenant believers were baptized in the Spirit and spoke in tongues after their conversions (Acts 2, & others). In fact, Paul led converts in receiving the Holy Spirit's baptism, with tongues that accompanied, as did others (Acts 19:2, "Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?").

Part 4: And when the Holy Spirit fills a person and gives them the first initial sign of that baptism (tongues), there IS an interpreter present, for the Holy Spirit that enabled them to speak in tongues can also enable them, and other Spirit-filled believers, to interpret the same. They are both gifts of the one and selfsame Spirit of God, and he deals them (and the other seven gifts) out to men severally as he wills (1 Cor. 12:11).
