The Government Controls The 501 C 3 Church House By Minister Speed

The Non 501 C 3 Church

A 501(c) organization, also known colloquially as either a 501(c) or a "nonprofit", is an American tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Section 501(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 501(c)) provides that 28 types of nonprofit organizations are exempt from some federal income taxes. Sections 503 through 505 set out the requirements for attaining such exemptions. Many states refer to Section 501(c) for definitions of organizations exempt from state taxation as well.

It is my honest belief that part of the reason why our country has "gone down the tubes" is because our churches have been afraid to speak out against the evils of society which our government endorses. Many politicians would not have been elected if the churches stood up and said, "Don’t vote for this candidate because he endorses abortion" and also address other such issues. If a 501(c) 3 speaks out or gets politically active they endanger their 501 C 3 Statuses.

I've been an Ordain Minister for 3 years now and been an evangelist for the past 13. God may be calling me back to a church House and I want to talk to more pastors of  non 501(c) 3's because in my experience a 501 C 3 is not under the authority of God but the Federal Government. (See 5 Videos Below)

People don't realize how insidious the arrangement is.  If you really consider how much control they can exert on a given church can be enormous. A church cannot just say I want out of this Status. If they try that they can be forced to repay all monies that have been tax exempted in the past. All offerings, taxes not paid on land, taxes not paid on salaries and materials bought with their tax exempt status will be recouped. So if they built a building they would have to pay all the back taxes on material and write offs they were given for that building, also.  This is not the end of it because they will be responsible for the “interest” also.  This could lead up to the seizure of church building, property, and assets.

I personally do not want to be equally yoked with the government. With a 501(c) church you are under the state and federal government's authority first instead of God's authority. The bible states 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV), 14 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness”?

 I talked to a lawyer with multiple years of counseling experience and he states “the fear of losing the 501 C 3 tax exemption by getting into 'politics' is so great, that it has gagged our ministers into silence about the important issues of our day. Since tax law says you can lose that tax exempt status if you engage in politics, most preachers avoid anything that might be perceived as 'too political.' That's why you won't hear most preachers endorse a candidate anymore.”

In this manner, the fascist/socialist left has paralyzed what would otherwise be a great political force in American life. Whether it was intentional or not, that has been the result of federal income tax policy. The very idea that one can divorce actions from beliefs is stupid. Our beliefs inform and direct our actions in life; we all act on our beliefs. For ministers to preach a belief but avoid preaching its implications in our daily lives--that is, what actions we should or should not take, is an abdication of their job as preachers, in my view. I just read a great article on this topic;

I hope you will too:

He says it well, so I don't need to here.

According to that article: Our second President, John Adams, stated: “It is the duty of the clergy to accommodate their discourses to the times, to preach against such sins as are most prevalent, and recommend such virtues as are most wanted." 

Martin Luther put it this way: “If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved."

All that said, recall the last election and Obama's minister, Rev. Wright. That guy was extremely political in his sermons. Yet his church was never attacked by IRS to revoke its tax exempt status. Why do you think that is? Because his church was black and leftist. Clearly, the tax law is being selectively enforced. 

Conservative churches are singled out for scrutiny while leftist ones are not. This is yet another form of government tyranny of our times.  And it must be put to an end if liberty is ever to be had in this country again.

I believe many churches go the "tax exempt" route because they don't really understand the tax law. They're afraid they won't be able to receipt tithes to the church, but that is simply not true. I have seen new churches planted before and have studied the regulations concerning 501(c)3 status, and as long as a church is actively involved in carrying out the functions of a church, such as services, weddings, funerals, etc. then they are considered a valid church in the eyes of the IRS, even without a 501(c)3.

IRS Publication 557

Churches: “Although a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a convention or association of churches is not required to file Form 1023 to be exempt from federal income tax or to receive tax deductible contributions, the organization may find it advantageous to obtain recognition of exemption. In this event, you should submit information showing that your organization is a church, synagogue, association or convention of churches, religious order, or religious organization that is an integral part of a church, and that it is engaged in carrying out the function of a church."

Historically speaking in America after 1953 there are very few churches that are not under government supervision and censorship.  Applying for 501 C 3 disestablishes the organization as a church and makes it a tax haven for the congregation. Most ministers, not trusting in God to provide for their ministry, entice donations by creating personal tax advantages for their constituents.

That means 501 C 3 churches are commercial and political in nature and not religious.

That sort of political/commercial activity is allowed by the IRS, while attempts to influence with donations and sermons those politicians who would uphold religious morality is forbidden, if the church wants to maintain its commercial status.

This means that such churches cannot speak God's truth about his law to human-created governments. And that appears to be just fine with most Christians.

Some people form bible study groups in their homes and those are like the original churches.  However, some local governments are fining those who host such meetings on the grounds that they violate Local Street parking ordinances.  Of course, that policy violates the freedom of assembly clause of the First Amendment. But, unfortunately, most Americans don't know that, having never read our short and to-the-point Constitution, and so cannot defend themselves, or their right to practice their religion.

Hosea said: “My people perish for want of knowledge" Hosea 4:6.

The reality is that you may have to bond with others of like thinking and form your own church.  If the congregation does not know their God-given rights, and offer prayers of thanksgiving for them, then they should arrange to meet someplace that has sufficient off-street parking.

You see the early Christians in the Bible met in each other's homes (Philemon 1:2), they were not State-licensed organizations. The Church is not a business!

Profane Mixes with the Holy Church

The L.A. Times has just reported that local ministers are being asked to spread the word about the upcoming digital TV switch. Standing in the pulpit of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in South Los Angeles FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein asked the Baptist Ministries Conference of Los Angeles (nearly 50 African American preachers) to include information on the June 12 digital TV switch in their sermons. Woodie Ramsey, a deacon at Southern Missionary Baptist Church of South East Los Angeles, said the ministers were prepared to spread the word: "It's incumbent upon each church to take care of the needs of its ministry, and this is just one more need for our people," he said. "We'll do our part."

In a shocking twist, "The Worldwide Church of God" has refused to divulge how many of its pastors are now on the FEMA payroll, after a member expressed concerns about religious leaders being used to condition their congregation to accept the declaration of martial law. 

In a May 2006 a story first broke (& has since been confirmed) the shocking news that FEMA was training pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to obey the government in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation. A KSLA news report confirmed that 'Clergy Response Teams' are being trained by the federal government to quell dissent and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law. We will also be covering many more topics that relate to this subject.

In closing it was Lyndon B. Johnson that begin the Tax Exemption status known as the 501 C 3 for churches . Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping "public policy."

Although Johnson proffered this as a "favor" to churches, the favor also came with strings attached (more like shackles). One need not look far to see the devastating effects 501 C 3 acceptance has had to the church, and the consequent restrictions placed upon any 501 C 3 churches. 501 C 3 churches are prohibited from addressing, in any tangible way, the vital issues of the day.

For a 501 C 3 church to openly speak out, or organize in opposition to, anything that the government declares "legal," even if it is immoral (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), that church will jeopardize its tax exempt status. The 501 C 3 has had a "chilling effect" upon the free speech rights of the church. LBJ was a shrewd and cunning politician who seemed to well-appreciate how easily many of the clergy would sell out.

Did the church ever need to seek permission from the government to be exempt from taxes? Were churches prior to 1954 taxable? No, churches have never been taxable. To be taxable a church would first need to be under the jurisdiction, and therefore under the taxing authority, of the government. The First Amendment clearly places the church outside the jurisdiction of the civil government: "Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Churches Have a Mandatory Exception To Filing Tax Returns

Not only is it completely unnecessary for any church to seek 501C 3 status, to do so becomes a grant of jurisdiction to the IRS by any church that obtains that State favor.

In the words of Steve Nestor, IRS Sr. Revenue Officer (ret.):

"I am not the only IRS employee who’s wondered why churches go to the government and seek permission to be exempted from a tax they didn't owe to begin with, and to seek a tax deductible status that they've always had anyway. Many of us have marveled at how church leaders want to be regulated and controlled by an agency of government that most Americans have prayed would just get out of their lives. Churches are in an amazingly unique position, but they don’t seem to know or appreciate the implications of what it would mean to be free of government control."

From the Forward of the book “In Caesar's Grip”, by Peter Kershaw

The bible states in 2 Corinthians 6:17, "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you"

The church is the most powerful organization on Planet Earth.  It's time to return the church back to the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and operate under His power and influence.

Legislation Verses Morality By Minister Speed

Legislation does not change Morality.

Everybody's looking for the government to change things when if any change is to occur it will be through the most powerful organization on planet Earth.  

The Church. The church is the most powerful organization on planet Earth. It is time to come out of the ways of the world, align up to God's will and advance in the name of Jesus Christ.  The church has no business being dependent upon government, the church has no business being weak.  God said after the Holy Ghost come you shall receive Power !!!

But the church at this moment in America is weak, she is guilty !!! 

Speaking loud but saying nothing, letting our children go to hell while we sitting up in the pews singing....

I said the church is guilty !!! It won't speak the truth, it won't speak God's doctrine.  The church in America is teaching about prosperity, about a pie in the sky ATM god.  We need God right here in our lives, our morales and values.  The answer is not in your Voting resgistration, it's not in Obama and his philosophy of change, and legislation of taxation. It is not in food being given away.  The answer is in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  The people need TRUTH !!!!!!

We need to get them save, they need to be Born Again!!!

They need to know Jesus.  You need to know Jesus !!!

The thing about that is we have to be in Gods order to receive of His divine favor. We have allowed even our children to become open to the attacks of Satan in such disproportionate numbers that its catastrophic. We now look to the government and state officials to fix their situation.

The Holy scriptures says "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

If- a condition which suggest that a requirement must be met in order for a thing to exist.

Most of these kids and their parents have a big out of order sign on their life which gives the enemy free access to destroy their very souls.

Christ dies so we could have Salvation. Salvation is not an earthly promise but you receive it after you physicall die.

We need to come out of living in our Salvation and live IN CHRIST. To be Holy and Renew our Minds through His word.

It's going to get worse than anyone could ever imagine if you're not in God's will as a inheritor of His divine favor and blessings.

When are you going to pick up your weapon of warfare.

This is a war. Sacrifice is what victory Is measured upon.

The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and violence take it by force. When are you going to pick up your weapon of warfare.

What type of military strategy suggest waiting for the attack? Must we always be in a position of defeat before we are incensed enough to move forward in battle.

We are in the last days and we must develop a more proactive stance. We have been given The Sword of the Spirit which is the very Word of God itself. We wear the very Armor whose design was made by the hand of God.

Beside all this God Himself lives within us to ensure that His purpose, pattern, and plan are Supernaturally transmitted to us without the enemy's knowledge.

We have been made Holy, Set Apart and a Distinct Entity with a Kingdom of our own. That's not the end of it.

We have a Leader that is both King and High Priest, Warrior and Peace Maker. He by Himself stood against the forces we battle against and defeated them all soundly, completely, and permanently.

All we have to do is have Faith in Him our Commander In Chief and we are assured Salvation and then Victory against the wrath to come. If we strive to be obedient to his ways we can rest assure that the life we live on this plane will be to an advantage.

The Just shall live by faith, not logic, not reason, but faith. Get out of the problem and realize that our God is bigger than any problem. Stop looking at what you're going through and look at where you're going to. Stop focusing on the Condition and move toward the Relation.

This is abundant living. The Covenant is binding , legal, authoritative and PowerFilled.

There is more to Christ than you've been told. When are you going to pick up your weapon of warfare?

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson speaks to President Obama on Governing Gods' way.

February 7, 2013 - One of the more unique speeches delivered at this morning's National Prayer Breakfast came from Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Taking the stage before President Barack Obama's faith-filled address, Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes, tackling issues ranging from education to personal responsibility. His keynote, while predicated upon the theme of Jesus Christ as his ultimate role model, also took a starkly political tone, advocating against some of the very policies the president has implemented. At the beginning of his speech, Carson shared an intense disdain for political correctness. Without getting too specific on the issue front, he said that Americans should stop being afraid to speak up and defend their beliefs; he also encouraged people to respect the individuals they disagree with. Carson held little back, condemning political correctness as "a horrible thing" that is "dangerous," as it hampers freedom of thought and expression.

"We've reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended," Carson said, noting the example of people refraining from saying "Merry Christmas." "We've got to get over this sensitivity and it keeps people from saying what they really believe." Carson encouraged discussion about societal issues, also pointing out education as an essential conundrum the country needs to confront. He highlighted his own path from poverty to success, sharing very personal details about his parents and early family life and subsequently described the importance of helping students seeking to advance academically through his Carson Scholars Fund.

The speech took an interesting turn when the doctor cautioned that moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility can have dire consequences — even for powerful countries like America. Here, he became even more pointed and impassioned.

"I think particularly about ancient Rome. Very powerful — nobody could even challenge them militarily...they destroyed themselves from within," Carson continued. "Moral decay. Fiscal irresponsibility."

While he said America's issues are dire, he was positive that the nation can fix its ways, as there are bright and innovative people who simply need to come together to address the problems at hand. "And one of our big problems right now...our deficit is a big problem," he said, as Obama watched him intently. "Think about it — and our national debt — $16 and a half trillion dollars." To illustrate just how massive the debt is, Carson told the audience that if they counted one number per second, it would take them 507,000 years to get to the sum total. The doctor said that the massive fiscal blunder is something that the nation must contend with. From there, he moved on to taxation, seemingly taking a stance in direct opposition to Obama's.

"What about our taxation system — so complex there is no one that can possibly comply with every jot and tittle," he noted, going on to call for a simpler (i.e. flat tax) system. "When I pick up my Bible, you know what I see — I see the fairest individual in the universe — God — and he's given us a system. It's called tithe." Carson progressed, seemingly comparing the tithe, at least in principal, to the flat tax system. Rather than continuing to tier taxes owed, he argued that everyone should pay the same proportion and that, through this fairer system, money sent by wealthier Americans for protection abroad should be brought back to America to help build infrastructure and create additional jobs. The doctor also addressed medical care, advocating for health savings accounts and railing against the notion that Americans should be sending money into a large bureaucratic system.
