Forgiveness

From time to time I do have to ask myself whether I have forgiven the elders and presbyteries at Melbourne Christian Fellowship (MCF) and Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF) for their cultish, abusive practices and misleading, manipulative and non-Biblical teachings. Have I really forgiven them? Why am I writing this blog? Does forgiveness mean not warningContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship: The Big Bluff

Many of us ex-XCFers have noticed how nervous, cagey and guarded our overlords were at, eg, MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) & Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF). Both when they were trampling us and when they were covering it up (or kicking us out). It’s because the whole thing was a big bluff. How much could BrisbaneContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship: The Big Bluff”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship: Present Truth

BCF (Brisbane Christian Fellowship) and MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) have a unique mode of, well everything, but running a church and their origin of teaching. Brisbane Christian Fellowship has only preached on ONE topic now for 28 years since 1992. I do not kid you. I listed 20 or 30 sub-topics they preached on inContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship: Present Truth”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF): Warning Signs

Last post I pointed out how BCF and MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) essentially claims infallibility and then, in one of their rare semi-apology retractions of teaching they said: We mixed up the revelation about the twin palm trees and the twin bowls of Zechariah and incorrectly thought it should be applied today. Vic Hall &Continue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF): Warning Signs”

Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF): Complete Contradictions

Are these statements by Vic Hall & friends from BCF – compatible? This word we are preaching is a proclaimed, fathered word. It has been tested by the presbytery. It is not to be debated or questioned but acted on. If we self-name ourselves there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Those who nameContinue reading “Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF): Complete Contradictions”

It was like prison but I forgive you.

I’ve never been to prison but it felt like imprisonment at MCF. Yet I loved the place too. And the congregation. Like you all. But not the partiality presumptions shunnings forced obedience to do NOTHING. The forced obedience to do nothing – and At threat of loss of salvation. That was horrific. Soul destroying. MonthContinue reading “It was like prison but I forgive you.”

So why do I not blame myself?

I occasionally get asked this. Well, I sort-of grew up in MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship). My Dad got sucked in when I was 10 years old. And, although I didn’t start going regularly until I was 17, I had become a firm believer in its Bible-based reformationist teachings because of Dad and the books heContinue reading “So why do I not blame myself?”

I am genuinely shocked that our friends at MCF sided with the elders

Maybe I just think too highly of myself or something. Or of my wife. But I thought people at MCF knew we were genuine honest Bible-based obedient pious living hard working committed to the Lord committed to the leadership (to that point) beyond partiality & lies & all of that So I was shocked thatContinue reading “I am genuinely shocked that our friends at MCF sided with the elders”

What is MCF/BCF, in essence?

MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), the founding church of the XCF group, including BCF (Brisbane CF) which, has become more prominent under Vic Hall. What is this abusive beast? It’s a church built by an extremely flawed individual, Ray Jackson Snr, who, at some point, had a grace and calling to facilitate a Scriptural restorationist word,Continue reading “What is MCF/BCF, in essence?”
