You reject Independent Fundamental Baptist churches as unbiblical; interesting.

This indicates that your mind is just as twisted as your words. No points for this.

Please recognize that, in fact, the church at Jerusalem--the crown church founded by The Lord Jesus Christ by baptizing 120 believers (including /his mother) with the Holy Spirit--was the very first Fundamental, Independent Immersionist (Baptist) Church in history; and the motif of this church was (as Jesus prophersied) replicated throughout Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth by the preaching of the Word of Christ by many faithful witnesses.

Anecdotally, the son of one of the members of the fundamental, independent Baptist church which I attend is the planting the first such church in Greenland, having been sent by us.

Sunday night our whole congregation was seen and spoken to by another member, trained as pastor and missionary, through whom a church is planted in Honduras. They are preparing their own missionaries to continue this reach to people in a "Catholic" country with the true Gospel of the Christ of the Bible. This pastor went as a young, single man, and married a Honduran girl, and now they have two children. They are there to stay, to love and be loved, to remember the Lord, to make, baptize, and teach regenerated beliver-disciple-priests according to the command and promise of Jesus to /his disciples.

Shame on you for your snide attitude.

You don't know any Biblical local churches and yet you are convinced there is no visible and historic holy catholic apostolic church. Not very persuasive.

Either you don't know, or are avoiding, that the Bishop of Hippo found that he was facing the same problem: there is no holy (pure) visible catholic church, and conceived the unscriptural, dishonest, logical indefensible, but rhetorically and organizationally effective device of an invisible "holy" catholic "church," which we have today, and which is just as willing to further its dominion by extinguishing its opposition as are the Islamists.

If is felt I had to be associated with an organization of that kind of history, I would hang my head in shame.

Why be angry for sharing that you do in fact credit some Independent Fundamentalist Baptist churches with being Biblical, but not others even though they seem to hold the same set of beliefs and confessions. It is difficult to trace the claim you make for the First Baptist Church of Jerusalem, yet I knew some Independent Baptists regard themselves in an unbroken chain of local New Testament churches from that source, , and the scripture cannot be broken; If you believe that you would thank me for providing a platform for you to share your truth, as well as explain to the other 29,000 odd denominations, sects, and institutes that they are not, and why they are not, authentic New Testament (Baptist usually goes here) churches. Is Bill Gothard in the circle of trust ? How many hundreds/thousands of churches, approximately are in the circle of trust ?
