If BCF (Brisbane Christian Fellowship)/MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) wanted to clean up their, frankly, cult-like act, and for all intents and purposes . . re-join Christendom, what could they do? New revelations I would humbly suggest BCF/MCF should not expect God to continuously ‘pour out’ new revelations on an annual basis beyond the gospel thatContinue reading “Checklist for a BCF/MCF clean-up”

Vic Hall and BCF are preaching salvation thru obedience to elders
I just listened to one of Vic Hall’s recent live streaming communion messages (Oct 4, 2020). He rambled thru a commentary of the epistles of Timothy & Titus and simply said it all meant that our salvation is dependent on how much we let ‘watchman’ elders, who are part of a presbytery, speak into ourContinue reading “Vic Hall and BCF are preaching salvation thru obedience to elders”
The timeline of MCF’s destruction of my life (Part II)
After around three good years (see Part I), in 1987, I started realizing that MCF had some genuine semi-cultish ways: 1. The elders seemed aloof.

But there was absolutely no doubt that thatContinue reading “The timeline of MCF’s destruction & mean-spirited waste of my life (Part I)”
The promise of MCF

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”
