What is MCF? A move of God gone bad? Probably. For four reasons: Jeff Hammond’s thesis backs up the original promise of MCF/Immanuel’s restorationist teachings Both of my Dad Charles’ visions (2012 & 2019) hint at something really good initially. My personal study of the Scriptures as a techy PhD guy backs up the originalContinue reading “What is it really that MCF has done?”

Miracles after we left MCF
After we left MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) in 2016, there were a few rapid minor miracles that occurred: MIRACLE 1. The day after Justine decided to join me in my departure of MCF I pinged Jeff & Annette Hammond on Facebook: Help! We’ve left MCF and need to talk! My Facebook PM to Annette Hammond,Continue reading “Miracles after we left MCF”
The timeline of MCF’s destruction & mean-spirited waste of my life (Part I)
Background MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), for me, started out as a breath of fresh air. I hadn’t heard about the pre-1992 cultish behaviors. And of course, had no idea what was going to hit us post-1992. I actually loved the Lutheran Church I attended, and Its congregation. But there was absolutely no doubt that thatContinue reading “The timeline of MCF’s destruction & mean-spirited waste of my life (Part I)”
Why did MCF fall again?
I truly think the MCF and BCF leaderships became puffed-up by a religious spirit, and strangely, simultaneously, became genuinely clueless and unprepared after the 1988 fall because they had never really needed to think for themselves under the poorly practiced multiple eldership model. Was it humility? False, learned humility perhaps. None of this would matterContinue reading “Why did MCF fall again?”
The promise of MCF
Because of, at least the theory of, multiple eldership, many of us stayed and continued to believe in the original promise that MCF preached . . despite the fall of several key players, including the founder of MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), Ray Jackson Snr, and their exposure in 1988. The teachings, and promise, had beenContinue reading “The promise of MCF”
How church should be
Some of my posts sound like a big whinge don’t they? But it’s because we did and still believe in ‘the priesthood of all believers’ (1 Pet 2:5-9. I Cor14:26). We didn’t want to draw to ourselves or take over! Just contribute! The New Testament tells us how church should be: What then shall weContinue reading “How church should be”
The ‘Big Bang’ fiasco of 1988
In 1988, we had a fiasco that got called ‘the Big Bang’ by much of the congregation. Don’t get me wrong, it was big, impactful, and spoke plenty about the fallen nature and disintegrity of many of the leaders. The two top leaders of MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), including the ‘founder’ big dog himself, RayContinue reading “The ‘Big Bang’ fiasco of 1988”
