Andrew can be as ‘right’ as rain and share truth & prophecy with accuracy, etc… however, his consistent critical, unChristlike spirit and radical counsels cannot recommend him. Thank you for your work Pr James. You’re balanced, your gentle & kind, yet you display courage and boldness in a Christlike way when straight talk is needed. May God continue to bless this ministry.
“Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isaiah 57:15. A precious heavenly trait that adorns the character of Christ is meekness. God’s people need this character trait more than ever right now. May He keep His mighty hand upon His people as things are amping up, and through the power of His Spirit, enable us more and more to reflect His beauty and loveliness in character. 🙏🏼😊
@GratefulGardens7 I agree with you. He speak truth but sadly, love is lacking. I can not stand listening to just even the tone of his voice. I wonder, sometimes, does Jesus talk like him? I knew as far as I read the divine writings that Jesus has a tender, gentle voice. He rebuked people with love. The pitying look He did to Peter.... I pray that the right Spirit will possess the heart of brother Andrew. 🙏
My sentiments exactly. And we are not followers of Andrew nor are we your followers we are just observers and from time to time we will comment but we love both of you. Be careful if you wanna be right all of the time and not take constructive criticism. We love you brother James as much as we love Andrew.....
I've only been a 7th day Adventist for probably about a year and knowing that this is the right church to be in. And the 7th day Adventist church makes sense and I've never seen the Bible so clearly in my whole life. And the reason I am saying this is because I did watch. Andrew Herricaes for a good month and a 1/2 and I started feeling. The weight of heaviness on me and he is not very understanding of people's behaviors and that people are not perfect and yet he would condemn instead of convict. I still do watch pastor Andrew, but I cannot watch him very often because he is very critical about a lot of stuff and it starts to get to me and if you're not careful. You might become like a pharisee in that they are more about the law than they are about forgiving and merciful in the ways that Jesus would be.
May God strengthen you and keep you in the truth! Don’t follow men, follow God and His word. This is God’s remnant church but there is a lot of issues within which God will take care of, in His time and manner of choosing. Stay strong and trust in Jesus for your salvation. HE will not fail you! God bless you!
Welcome to the SDA church, and I'm glad you found this channel. If you're interested in exploring the Adventist faith, this is the link to my personal SDA resources site: sdaresourcecenter.50megs.com Most of the broken links have been weeded out. RUclips is one of my newest categories. When I made this site, years ago, I wasn't involved with YT yet.
I hear what you are sayin Bro James but the things Pastor Andrew is saying is needed for this time in order to keep apostasy in check and for revival and reformation to take place in our churches also God is using him to warn others not to put too much trust in our leaders because they are not infallible. There were times when God was a bit lenient with his people and there was times he moved swiftly when apostasy went too far and in these last days you have to give the word a certain sound and hes doing a good job of it
@@samlovell911 I understand the rational. I believe by all means the leaders of the church must be held accountable and be called to repentance. I didn’t have a problem with that at all. My issues was the call to leave churches over the issue. This was unwise counsel my friend. You can love Andrew Henriques and support his work, but you must love enough to point out his errors.
@@PrJamesMediayou say you're a pastor and I assume that you understand the way GC works..when you say leaders should be hold accountable and called to repentance, do you understand what you're asking for? It's a system that's existing there, it's a body of people that take measures! Who's the one you're calling to repentance? Do you know specifically who took the decision whether one thing should be done or the other? It's all done in the secret Chambers where you don't sit but believe everything it's done there, it's all for the people and not against them! This call to repentance from brother Conrad it's so slippery that I find it hard to stand on this words!
@@PrJamesMedia He did not say, "Leave the SDA church"... What madness is this? He said, "If leadership is in open apostasy, then find ANOTHER church where the LEADERSHIP is NOT in apostasy." He supports both FAITHFUL conference and FAITHFUL INDEPENDENT" agencies. He has made this qualification time and time again, yet you and others seemingly CHOOSE to neglect mentioning that part in these videos. Where is your own discernment of balancing out these issues???
@@PrJamesMedia I believe Ellen White said something along the lines of (don't quote me) "...whole conferences will be lost..." if whole conferences are going to be lost, it means they become apostate, if they become apostate conferences then it means they have joined hands with Babylon and isn't the command to come out of Babylon? Or are you of the opinion that whole conferences (which would include local churches) can't be Babylon?
MY BROTHER WHICH SIDE OF THE EXTREME WAS JESUS ON WHEN HE DESTROYED THE SCRIBES AND PHARASEES AND THE HIGH PRIESTS BY CALLING THEM WHITEN SEPULCHER BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND ETC. THAT CERTAINLY WAS NOT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DENUNCIATION, OR WAS IT??
@@cevalgriffiths7086 don't go there now, lol he would definitely be given what Dr. VIne got a dose of your not suited to preach in our pulpit you have gone crazy stuff like that. Listen you really have to foster a relationship with Jesus for yourself or else I don't know where I'd be cause although once might say he may come across tuff we all need that tuff love to straighten us out. Many are being treated as babies not wanting to offend while the person is headed down the wrong path. Any honest person would not disagree with being scolded for their own good. Yes at times I'm like what's that now but if I'm honest with myself i realize it's the truth he's speaking. To each his own we just have to be mindful that the babes amongst uo don't get overwhelmed with all this back n forth and decide to leave the church. Their blood would be on our shoulders.
I totally agreed with you. I just did a study about the shaking and Ellen White is very clear that the tares and the wheat are growing together and is not our work to judge. God will make sure to do it. I always find Andrew very angry at the Church and aggressive! Where is the love? We should not focus on attacking the Church but to preach the word to the world. Yes, there is apostasy in the Church but is still God's Church. The shaking will make sure to purify the church, is not up to us to 'fix' the church. Ellen White talks about the false santification. We should be carefull about these kind of independant ministries that tell us to leave or to stop giving tithes etc.
Some people won't come to our church due to apostasy they say like abortion at our hospitals and trans operations and doing Eastern rituals at the ecumenical jesuit meetings. If someone speak the truth, they might see the church is true just some false teachers at the top.
One thing I can say is Pastor Andrew Henriques is consistent on his stance ...not wavering in truth .will speak out and protest the wrongs and has even called for all to repent ...I believe the Holy Spirit rests on Him and his ministry...He is hot and not cold neither lukewarm...noone can deny where he stands on issues contrary to God's Word...Watch ye Saints with eyelids waking...keep your lamps trimmed and burning .BE Careful of Smooth Preachers and wanting things to be smooth and easy and balanced ...Balanced will lead you to accept the Mark of The Beast!!!
Balanced isn't the same as neutral.... neutral wool mean toto accept the mark. Do you see the difference? Prophesy again did a podcast on this- the younger guys.
So true! I agree. Walter has a very Christ like spirit. Too much drama. God is in control. Pray for our leaders. It’s getting to the point of just gossip.
Well the video that I was speaking of was specifically about him calling the people in the Michigan conference churches to oppose their ministers based on their view concerning Conrad Vine. That’s the one I had an issue with.
You are wromg He said People should not go to their local church if at all his pastor does not support Dr "Vaine" That is division of the body of christ
I listen to Pastor Henriques often, and one thing he does is qualify his position by saying “ IF YOU can find a local SDA that is preaching present truth then support them if not then find somewhere that does” and I believe that is fair. Persons say “Andrew is telling persons to leave the church” what is the church? When Peter kept preaching in the synagogue (church) and they threw him out was he no longer apart of the “church”?. The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, you can be a Seventh Day Adventist whether you are in a prison or in a synagogue or excommunicated or in the conference once you stay true to the Word.
Did you listen to what Andrew said? Please don’t be radical this is God’s church . Andrew did something wrong by saying that people should leave and pastors should resign is wrong
@@denisewoozencroft948 Radical in what way? Your argument, respectfully, is sounding much like the Israelites of old. The Seventh Day Adventist Church is God’s church and anyone that is not standing on the principles God has laid out will be rooted out. None of the leaders/pastors are “the church”. If a PERSON is in open apostasy it is our Christian duty to appeal to them for change, if no change is made I don’t see how you can biblically justify staying when there are other ministers within the denomination that are leading by example.
If the both of you believe that Vine was right in his represensible presentation, I call upon you to repent as sooner or later you will be held accountable for giving momentum to falsehood about the GC handled the covid related issues. I am extremely saddened by the confusion and outright promotion of ignorance in our church. As a proud very conservative adventist the whole GC backlash re: covid vaccines is scandalous😢.
@@dominicnoel1725how they dealt with it is a disgrace and they threw is under the bus. You can't see it. They are in league with the papacy/ Jesuits. God showed me. Evidence shows it. You're wrong
““Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” -Jesus Christ Matthew 10:34-39 NKJV
I used to listen to Save to serve daily, I recognize it developed a very fault finding character anywhere I went, my focus was not on worship but on the errors of others. Also the focus he has it is not to truly get the work of God down he is constantly bashing the church. He says the church is not GC that he’s the church… and he doesn’t want to be part of it because of apostasy? The church will have errors and evils existing in the church and the sifting will happen in the church not outside the church. Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while ➡️the sinners ➡️in Zion will be ➡️sifted out-the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths.... The remnant that purify their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy.44SDA Bible Commentary 7:911.
Correct 👍🏾 I had gone through a same exact phase. Listening to Andrew Heriques had caused me to become extremely impatient with my wife and children’s flaws I was very despotic, and self righteous. While I can’t blame him for all of it, but listening to him didn’t help. I had to put my eye on Jesus Christ, and then I began to realize how brainwashed I was by his some of his messages. I began to spend a thoughtful hour each day with Christ, and his love has transformed my ways. Even today my wife could tell you, I have changed a lot. “It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross.. DA 83.4
Exactly. He is always fault finding. "It is not the opposition of the world that endangers us the most; it is the evil cherished in the hearts of professed believers that works our most grievous disaster and most retards the progress of God's cause. There is no surer way of weakening our spirituality than by being envious, suspicious of one another, full of faultfinding and evil surmising. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:15-18. CCH 44.4
I can agree with you on some points. Nevertheless, please let's reference this often misquoted text in its proper context. We often find 2SM 380 being read out of context. The quote refers to a specific time period, The Mark of The Beast. It is at this time that the quote is referring to when there will be no operating sda church or building organization. THE CHURCH in this context refers to the people of God, not the building or the organization. The fall referred to is about the sifting- the faithful remnant will not fall; doesn't say that the legal entity will continue to function during no-buy-no-sell. Here is the quote in its entirety, with context for those who often misquote the text. 🙏🏿 "We are to be ready and waiting for the orders of God. Nations will be stirred to their very center. Support will be withdrawn from those who proclaim God's only standard of righteousness, the only sure test of character. *And all who will not bow to the decree of the national councils and obey the national laws to exalt the sabbath instituted by the man of sin, to the disregard of God's holy day* , will feel, not the oppressive power of popery alone, but of the Protestant world, the image of the beast. Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out-the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ". 2SM 380
He not fault finding the Bible say point out our faults one with another how can we encourage each other if we keep our mouth close when we are making petty excuses we criticize people like pastor Henriques but as I say preach pastor preach
My brother I totally agree with you. I love pastor Andrew teaching especially on prophecy. But when it comes to the conference he tears them down. We have to also bear in mind that anything posted on utube is viewed by unbelievers as well. So we have to be careful what is being discussed on utube. P
And why shouldn't they be called to account? They have many souls in their hands. Watchmen must sound the alarm. There is nothing secret that will not be revealed.
Joycelyn I agree. Enriques washes all SDA dirty laundry in public daily. His channel thrives on church bashing titles to grab peoples attention. He isnt mindful that unbelievers have access to those videos.
@@luciansunset1that's your opinion. I had noticed this as a new Christian in the church and conferences and our other institutions. Ppl see the evil the gc and conferences do and they don't want to join us because if this like how they don't want to join RCC... by exposing some might see we do have the truth despite the evils being done. It's nothing new
I used to listen to Henriquez but I couldn't take it anymore. I was been critical of my brethren in the faith. I appreciate your ministry, Pastor James. Blessings to you and your family.
I know of a situation in the Caribbean where a church had a problem with the local Confrence as it related to District Pastor. The church did everything possible to resolve the issue to no avail. Eventually the brethren decide not to do any remittance to the confrence. So the tithe was collected and lodged to churches bank account and this went on for months Eventually the Confrence decided to dialogue and resolve the matter thereafter the remittance was as done. This is one way of holding our leaders accountable Pastor Wilson admonishes us to hold our leaders to account
I grew up in churches that did the same. The conference always did show up to resolve whatever is going on. It's only different here because they're still getting paid...
I heard that happening in the Caribbean and by 8am the next sabbath a Representative from the conference office was to talk about what's going on..before that they (the conference) REFUSE to talk to the church this just shows all the Conference or GC cares about is the almighty dollar..
If the churches under the leadership of the GC was doing what the Lord has set them to do, then we would have already seen the times fulfilled & persecution, but it's these self supporting ministries outside the conference that are preaching present truth. These GC leaders in their apostasy are saying we are leaders of the true church, but don't forget Jesus told the same Jews that God is able to raise children up from the stones, and he can do the same here. Christ is waiting on his church to fulfil his mandate, while GC leaders are promoting ecumenical activities with those in Babylon.
@@TeStOs78 what is truth ? Bashing each other on utube? My spirit is crushed listening to all that back and forth. The souls out there needs us. Since we are not using the utube platform to save them let us go door to door. Let us hit the streets and save the poor souls. That what God has commissioned us to do. We are scaring our unbelievers who are viewing our channels. Too much division. It’s scary. This is the end of time and the devil is very busy dividing the church. Let’s not give the enemy the satisfaction
Keeping our eyes on Jesus Christ is where our focus should be. Too far left or too far right are both in a ditch. We are facing prophecy being fulfilled quickly. The enemy is distracting us in every way. We need to be focused on Christ. BTW love Carlton Knott. My father came into the church through his ministry when he was in Bermuda.
Lukewarm is not balanced. Where do you stand on "any" issue? These are the last days. Christ does not want his Church to be lukewarm or what you are calling " balanced". Was Christ lukewarm or balanced? You would have called him an extremist too.
Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear know what you meant and you did not even have to clarify what you meant. Some of his followers idolize him like some kind of god so anything you say about him (or what he said) they would take offense. They even miss the good parts you speak about him. May God open our eyes and give us a Christ like heart and mind. Only one God folks. Lets stop idolizing humans.
I realized that. It’s a form of cognitive dissonance. They hate me now, but they might love me later. I don’t mind being the one guy on the internet 🛜 who was crying out saying to be careful of the SDA extremists in our midst.
Thank you Pr James for making your original video that led to this one. I found the way you assessed the things that Andrew Henriques said very balanced, and you did it with a spirit of care and meekness. Thank you for taking the time to highlight the issue of AH's bad counsel. I used to listen to Andrew but also found my spirit becoming more judgemental, sad and separatist when I was listening to him. My spirit had no peace. God bless you to keep analysing and sharing a balanced perspective on things.
I believe what pastor Henriques was saying to those in Michigan, where the GC put the ban on Conrad Vine from preaching in any of those churches, was to go to their pastors and find out where they stand on this issue. If they go along with that wrong, then leave. So, it's not "those poor pastors" as you said, they are part of the problem, just like during the "pandemic" when so many just went along with all of it.
To be fair to Pastor Henriques and we must always try to be balanced or at least get our facts right. Saved to Serve does a lot of evangelism work. I am always impressed with their young people who seems to have a passion for God's work and spreading the gospel. To suggest that all Pastor Henriques does is to tear down the brethren is not true. I personally don't always like how he comes across in some of his presentations, but we can choose to listen or not to listen.
@@purrplemane5954both is true my friend. He does a lot of outreach with the youth, and has a powerful online influence. But he also preached messages to divide the church. All I have asked for is for you to avoid all extremes.
Most people who love Henriquez become fanatics, divisive, critical, and bitter against the church and the leadership. They need a new experience with God and a change of heart and mind
If saying the leadership made serious mistakes during the pandemic in not standing for the faithful who refusing to bow the knee to jabs makes one a fanatic, I'll be one every single day of the week. Accountability is not a bad word, we have many councils in the testimonies, it's God who gave it to us, Henriquez only parrots them. Loving and uniting with God's truth will naturally bring separation from blatant apostasy.
I believe that these people are sincere. But I think they have been dissatisfied with the church, and end up in extreme camps in an effort to avoid apostasy. When I point this out, they see me as an enemy. It’s sad, but I am not trying to be.
@@PrJamesMedia I can say this I left the Church when two of the most powerful Preacher I can think of were Preachers C.D. Brooks and E.E. Cleveland at the age of my late 20's in the 80's when I return back to the Conference Church in 2018 I was shook off my foundation of what had become of God's true Church see you have to talk with someone who had left the Church for many, many, many years and came back to a Church with no standards where anything goes God is not pleased of his Church today and I was shock to the core now you all are trying to say the none Conference lines are extremism, one thing I can say I travel to Ga. just to get the truth and love to go where the truth are still being taught, evangelizing, not wearing these clothing of the world, healthy eating and excising, you know as well as I do there are just a very small amount of Conferences Churches preaching some truth because when I came back to church another member that had left and he came back a month after I did he was talking about the big change that had taken place in the Church also, no you all do not see anything wrong because you all haven't left the Church for a long period of time or if any, so you all don't see what we saw, I explain to a friend of mine that I could not attend that Church and she took me over to a non Conference Church that was preaching the truth this Church remain open even after the pestilence and all of the Conference Churches was closed down but they still wanted your tithe money our Churches had no business closing down they were telling the members to take the ___ and me knowing my faith and beliefs it was wrong they wouldn't give you a letter so your job could put it on file, I know in whom I believe in and that is Jesus Christ and I know a manservant from God because the LORD has shown me, Pastor Henriques is all about telling you what the LORD says and he will stand up and let you know it is for him as well as others, this man and others are trying to save souls, the Conference is airy there own dirty laundry just like that 164,000 million dollars and when the Pastors come in a tell the truth what the LORD have told them to say openly because it was said openly then it seems to be a problem. Jesus is on his way back whether we are ready or not so please stop pricking against the fence and take heed to the word of God, I keep everyone lift up in prayer daily. No one is going to take our crown if our crown is lost it's nobody's fault but ours, I plan on keeping my Crown. Amen Praising God all the day long. Hallelujah!! Praise his Holy name
Brethren we should use moments like these to return to the Bible. The scriptures says there is nothing new under the sun, so I went to the Bible and I was led to the book of Isaiah and the book of Ezekiel, these prophets were sent right before the destruction of Jerusalem. Yes I understand that persons believe Pastor Henriques message was too forceful, but so did Israel of old when they received the warnings. God says in Ez 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?”
This is saddened my heart, we should abide by our Saviour's last Words of COMMAND that we should love one another as He has loved each of us unconditionally, and for this, the world will know that we are His disciples (John 13: 34,35). We should never take sides who is right and who is whatever. These pastors who are in the core of all these, are brothers; our brothers, they are our families. Let us pray for the working of the Holy Spirit to bring Unity inspite of differences and to strengthen our love for our God and for each other no matter what 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️💝♥️
Do you know who was also called extremists? Wycliffe, Huss, Jerome, Luther and even E G.White, amongst others. Jesus himself was regarded as an opposer of the status quo, because the truth always meets with opposition. I suggest that if we steer away from looking at men and really focus on our bibles and the SOP we will understand that the events of yesteryear with the reformers are being replicated today. Think about what that will look like in present day and how those men will be regarded. Noah was also an extremist subject to the harshest criticism, how many years did he persist and how many listened? The church is being groomed to accept the mandates of men not realising we are already in a state of apostasy. The only reason the SDA church today, is not being persecuted is because it is not delivering God’s word as it should. It poses no opposition or threat to the world. That in itself should cause us to hear alarm bells, rather than castigating those ringing the alarm bell!! “The church has turned back from following Christ her Leader and is steadily retreating toward Egypt” 5T 217:2
I love listening to both of you. In fact I am learning a lot from every source of information. I have the power to CHOOSE what I like to think about every issue raised in the presentations. The LORD knows what each person's view are. Keep going. I respect you and your works like everyone who present their work.
I used to look at our “off-shoot” church members as off and against God and Adventist church - i no longer do - at my age of 50 I see that some of us wish for more for harder work and others on the body do not - many sda just don’t want to be called out of their nonsenses and neither do their conferences so FAITHFUL BIBLE FEARING ADVENTIST have taken their names off books and withheld tithes from conference for good reason and they should be commended for actually sounding alarms that the Majority of us lukewarm close our ears to .. 🙏🏾 God will judge us all as we are not saved by denominations or conference or membership
In the last days before the sunday Law we all need to know what side we are on by speaking to Pastors who may not be aware is giving them an opportunity to make a decision. It could come in other ways but pressing home the issue gives opportunity for ministers to shepherd their churches. As the sealing process is here we need to sigh and cry or the blood will be on our shoulders. This is what Andrew is saying. You keep repeating bad counsels but if you know what time in history we are in you would change your speech. Go into the high ways and byways go into the streets and compel them to come in. The message is one of urgency. But you will never see that!
I love the way that you respectfully address important topics. Not lukewarm at all. No need to go for the jugular. There seems to be a vigilante mob mentality movement which clouds the mind when we follow man instead of God. Of course Andrew has a lot of knowledge. He presents up to date topics with good sources but we need to study for ourselves and not hang on every word especially when not all advice is good advice. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy ways. Proverbs 3:6
I saw that God has honest children among the nominal Adventists and the fallen churches, and before the plagues shall be poured out, ministers and people will be called out from these churches and will gladly receive the truth. Satan knows this; and before the loud cry of the third angel is given, he raises an excitement in these religious bodies, that those who have rejected the truth may think that God is with them. He hopes to deceive the honest and lead them to think that God is still working for the churches. But the light will shine, and all who are honest will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant. . EW 261.1
I think you have a very good point, even though I do listen to Andrew a lot, and I love his messages 99% of the time. I do notice that he can b a little over the top from time to time. But he is doing more than I am for God, so I have no room to talk. I would love to have you and Andrew on a video together. I am sure that the two of you as brothers in Christ would be able to have a great conversation and keep it civil.
I remember Andrew at school. He always had an angry expression on his face. He fosters a lot of bitterness towards the church organization. Never misses a chance to attack.
I can't speak for Andrew's earlier days in school because I've never met him personally, but i can speak on your statement. Obviously, you love sin, to denfend sin is to agree with it, Andrew is actually doing the opposite, he's a watch man on the wall, crying out for the sins and abominations committed in the church, the very counsel we were given to do. Are you studying for yourself or repeating what people have told you.
Pastor Andrew Henriques is a very happy and kind man have to ever sat down and talk with him in person? He is a very good guy working for the LORD in many ways, when it comes to God work he takes it very serious as we all should be like that I pray for boldness, this man is a God fearing and God sent weather you all like it or not just remember we are closer to the end of Jesus second coming, did not they prosecute Jesus and his disciple so also will not we have to go through the same thing, our GC leaders are involving themselves in the ecumenical and in the stock market which we know this is gambling we all know this because within it was aired on RUclips just like this about Past C. Vine, most of our Churches are doing everything they can think of and big enough to do, they are the ones leading the flock away from the Church oh if only you knew how disgusted the members are they are hungry for truth and are fed up, and if we think we are going on to heaven any how that is not so, Jesus has already told us how it is going to play out in the end and we still think we have much time to play around with sin, we are to live our lives as today is our last day on earth getting Victory over sin and dying to self. Pastor James you really need to get on your knees and pray and let the LORD lead you in a more positive way. I am really telling you this out of love and from what I am seeing on your platform this is not your calling, LORD help our Church shake us like never before out of our slumbering sleep, bless us to realize the M.O.B and the NSL is closer than what we think your judgement begins at the house of God first, LORD I pray for true heart Conversion for us all, and when your sheep hear your voice I Pray they will harden not their hearts but accept your son Jesus as their personal savior this is my pray in Jesus. Amen!! Pastor Henriques and Pastor Vine are on the same page I think we should hold these men accountable
@Matteo-davinci it is not defense of sin to say that calling for separation from the Sda church is wrong, how we say and what we say do actually matter, no one here is defending the problems in our church, simply saying that he is going about it the WRONG way, and what he recommends if done would not serve to advance the gospel but merely our own perception of our righteousness. (and we know from sop/Bible we have NONE)

Sorry, the SDA organization is the one who created division by not backing those of us who took a stand. The SDA organization said bow down to the world. I said no. I stopped paying tithe to the conference and paid it directly to the local church when they the conference said take the shot. I’m now thinking of redirecting my tithe to independent ministries.
Actually you don’t pay tithes, you return tithes. It’s the Lord’s. But I do agree with you, you should return the tithe to whichever ministry is feeding you.
And do not forget the blatant eccumenism and climate change lingo and activities (ADRA) and the Wall Street holdings are obscene. I picture Jesus reading the balance sheet and selling all and feeding the poor is not even a tiny portion of their riches.
1. Not a fan , but am a hearer of truth 2. Challenge the ideas, by starting with how sop and scripture are being connected. Is it in Context/out of Context? Often times, Pastor Andrew goes out of his way,....deep dives into the source contextually, as council is given.. Without fail, it is often that church leadership are found in error. That is a 💯 fact, Pastor James. I think you are a sincere man, however, I also think that your attempt to offer balanced views on matters as this, is in opposition to the straight testimony. The Spirit of the Lord is with Pastor Andrew. Be not too quick to put out Reaction videos, as they may not age well.
Thanks my friend. But I respectfully disagree with you. A lot of what I have said when it comes to his wrong advices that he has given has yet to be proven wrong. I understand that you can disagree, but you are not telling me why I am wrong. Therefore, I stand.
Why are this people don’t listen to what Jesus said? Does any of this people remember the wheat and weed parable? Don’t leave the church. Go and pray with them and for them. That’s how Gods work will be done.
"The hearts of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12 People tend to only respond when they're triggered. They don't want to THINK and REASON together but they would rather fight senselessly. 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. John 15: 18-19
I don’t think he is saying to leave the SDA denomination, he is saying to meet with another SDA church. I believe there is a different from separating from a church body due to the leadership being in apostasy, and separating from a church because some of the members are in apostasy.

@southernyankee2300 that's saying, " don't leave marriage, just find another spouse" "God hates divorce" the example of marriage is the same relationship with the church and Him. Pr. Conrad's message did not promote that, he simply said reallocate your tithe to a different conference. Pr. Henriques' message on the other hand was exactly the opposite of Conrad's and it was divisive! The wheat and the tares parable, God will be the one to harvest the wheat and burn the weeds. Not us, the pastors, elders, or anyone BUT God.
@@ubercow21 maybe living in an “Adventist Ghetto” as I do, one has a different viewpoint. With around a hundred churches in a drivable area, if we find a church too liberal, or prefer one pastor’s preaching over another, we go to a different church. I don’t see the difference or fault in doing that, so I don’t find any error with leaving a church where you feel the leadership is in apostasy and joining one whose leadership is not in apostasy. I don’t find your correlation to a marriage applicable.
Andrew is distroying the work of God - You cannot denigrate the Church of God in front of the World , SDAs must preach the gospel of salvation to the world but Andrew berates the Church to the world-- who then in their sane mind from the world can join the Church?
Amen so true…some of these people are emotional followers and refuse to be independent thinkers, and open minded, which is not safe at all…. no one but Christ is infallible..
That’s all I was calling for. I think there is some serious idolatries going on in the hearts of God’s people when it comes to their allegiance to personality of some of these men.
Look, somewhere we need to stand up to the apostasy in our leadership. There is no reason to listen to a minister that refuses to stand for the right, what else is he not standing up for? There are too many churches to stay in one that is lead by someone in apostasy or is a weak leader. As I stated I another post, I rarely listen to Pastor H. and maybe he should have said it in a calmer way, because he seems angry, but just because he could have said it more diplomatically doesn’t mean that he is wrong. Just my opinion btw.
We go to church for fellowship with one another towards God and draw nearer to Jesus. The pastor should not be the reason to go or not go. We answer to God, not men.
Blessed Sabbath! My brother you are right. When the Spirit of God dwells within, He tells us what to take and what to sift out. I hear certain things and the Spirit of God often tells me to delete and reject that comment or opinion. None are perfect but Christ so let’s look to Him and live. Blessings!
Brother, no disrespect. Are you actually studying for yourself, what Andrew Henriques has mentioned is bible leaf, also quoted from the spirit prophecy. God cannot use an apostate church to finish his work, because of one man's sin an entire congregation had to run for their lives, in the day's of Achan, when he stole a babylonish garment along with silver and gold. Members were killed because of the sin he committed. It cost him and his family their lives also.

The devil can also quote the Bible and SOP. What is the result of his work, what is the spirit that is present? God’s? What did Jesus say to John and James when they wanted to call fire from God?
@paidosam so now you are calling good evil and evil good. Did you hear Mr. henriques quote any Scripture or SOP out of context. I don't go by what people say or their opinions. I prefer to search the Scriptures and check for myself. I would suggest you do the same. Sister White mentioned... specifically in her writings, when Jesus left the holy place and entered into the most holy place, satan took over the adventist churches, there was much light and power, but no love, sweet joy, or holy spirit, why, because christ and holy spirit is knocking calling members out of the fallen adventist churches.
Henríquez views are extreme.. I pray for him.. I know people who have left Save to serve and lot of the dark things that are happening behinds the scenes it’s not good. 🙏🙏 A few words more press upon my mind. I want you to be united with the church, not because I regard all the church members perfect nor because I regard you perfect. God has precious ones in His church; there are also men and women who are as tares among the wheat. But the Lord does not give you or anyone else the office of saying who are tares and who are wheat. We may see and condemn the faults of others, while we have greater faults which we have never realized, but which are distinctly seen by others. God requires you to give to the world and the church a good example, a life that represents Jesus. There are duties to be performed and responsibilities to be borne. The world has not enough true Christians; the church has need of them; society cannot spare them. Christ’s prayer for His disciples was: “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” Jesus knows we are in the world, exposed to its temptations, but He loves us and will give us grace to triumph over its corrupting influences. He would have us perfect in character, that our waywardness may not occasion moral deformity in others. - {5T 333.3} You see that your brethren do not come up to the Bible standard, that there are defects in them; and you dwell upon these defects. You feed upon them instead of feeding upon Christ, and by beholding you become changed into the same image. But criticize no one; do not contrast your own exact course with the deficiencies of others. You may be in danger of wanting to correct others and make them feel their wrongs. Do not do this. This is not the work God has given you to do. He has not made you a church tinker. There are many things which you view in the light of the Bible. But though you may be in the right on some points, do not get the impression that your positions are always correct; for on many points your ideas are distorted and will not bear criticism. - {5T 334.1}
I was shown the necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily imbibing new errors. I saw that neither young nor old should attend their meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach error that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the commandments of men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has delivered us from such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty wherewith He has set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with us when we go to listen to error, without being obliged to go; for unless He sends us to those meetings where error is forced home to the people by the power of the will, He will not keep us. The angels cease their watchful care over us, and we are left to the buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened by him and the power of his evil angels; and the light around us becomes contaminated with the darkness. EW 124.3

I like both channels. That being said I live in Michigan attend SDA church. I will be speaking to my pastor. I don't know if pastor will be at my church today. He has 3 churches I think. I am troubled by this. I will continue to watch and listen to both. God bless
Pastor Henriques is way to faultfinding, persons may call it truth but they need more discernment to see where sometimes he takes things too far. Some of them praise him as if he is some kind of god. Only one God people , some of us need to stop idolizing that man. "It is not the opposition of the world that endangers us the most; it is the evil cherished in the hearts of professed believers that works our most grievous disaster and most retards the progress of God's cause. There is no surer way of weakening our spirituality than by being envious, suspicious of one another, full of faultfinding and evil surmising. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:15-18. CCH 44.4
@Matteo-davinci apparently is the mindset of some of his followers. If you don't agree with everything, he says you are lost and doomed. I am not one to say who is lost and who is not. I am not God.
@jizelf633 well....keep your eyes on Jesus, don't watch his followers, be like the bereanians, search the Scriptures, and see if what he's saying lines up with the word & spirit of prophecy.
Bro bad counsel according to you… what’s wrong by telling those members to talk with their pastors.so them pastors our so pious they can’t be question. But what you brought doesn’t have no back up of scriptures and spirit of prophecy. What he was saying was nothing but the truth.brother you’re not preaching you don’t have a ministry what you’re doing here so just doing your little thing.. Be careful about what you say about God servant bro. Brother you’re acting like an actor you will not criticizing the them false leaders of ours but you will come after Andrew and you are calling us fans of him No bro I’m a fan of truth . Let the conferences come back to true repentance and preach the gospel as it should and stand firm upon the foundation even Andrew will come back to them. My brother you can do whatever you want you can’t stop him because you didn’t give him this ministry . Put use to your own counsel bro as you said you’re being here 2010 keep learning bro and put it to rest. Happy sabbath
Agreed, if we have an understanding of the politic context of the 1st Century we see how balanced Jesus was in his message and life. Jesus was not a liberal sadducee, neither a conservative Pharisee, nor was he a zealot pursuing violence and extreme actions to bring about freedom and peace. Jesus was balanced and stood for truth. Really appreciate your videos Pastor, God bless.
Calling someone “extremist” and “right” based on them wanting the truth is pretty troubling. I understand the prophecy about betrayal so much better now, how easy people will turn against other church members.
You have misconstrued my word again. I did this video to explain what I meant, but I guess it’s not good enough. However, others in the comment seem to get it.
I think that the ppl. who r criticizing u in regard to Andrew I think that this r the ppl who do not read for the scripture n spirit of prophecy. They just listen to him n take what he says. I used to listen to him n I stop because the things that he was saying did not minister to me. I listened to probably 5 videos in succession n they were all bad, the whole videos from start to finish he was criticizing other ministers n ministries. I don't need to hear that kind of msg. All he does he criticize others. I love ur ministry, the first time I listened to u I learned alot. Keep the good wrk.
"The ministers are HOVERING OVER CHURCHES, WHICH KNOW THE TRUTH, while thousands are PERISHING out of Christ. If the proper instruction were given, if the PROPER METHODS were FOLLOWED, every church member would DO HIS WORK as a member of the body. He would do CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY WORK. But the CHURCHES ARE DYING, and they want a minister to preach to them. They should be taught to bring a faithful tithe to God, that he may STRENGTHEN and bless them. They should be brought into WORKING ORDER, that the breath of God may come to them. They should be taught that unless THEY CAN STAND ALONE, WITHOUT a MINISTER, THEY NEED to BE CONVERTED ANEW, and BAPTIZED ANEW. They need to be BORN AGAIN." GCB April 12, 1901, par. 21
Prove him wrong, nit disagree with his teachings. That's your opinion. I am in Conference church, grew up SDA and never heard Present Truth as i hear it as from Henriques. Peter was a radical. He know the WORD. He preach the WORD. He is Elijah in the present. He should be the Conference President. We would not have to lose our jobs and livelihood.
There’s a spirit in how the message is delivered. For example, I can stand outside abortion clinics and bars and scream scripture to people all day long about how they’re going to die in hell fire because of their sins. Is it true to scripture, yeah but there is no Christ in doing that. This is where we mustn’t be deceived. Satin messengers will gain a following with an appearance of a biblical message but it won’t carry the love and power of heaven if the spirit isn’t from God.
@@dr.johnwatson2503 Bad example. I have heard Randy Skeet say the same as Andrew. Leave the churches that oppose to the bible and Spirit prophecy. Leaving a church and leaving the faith are not the same. As human beings all have heart work to do. Trouble will only increase among us as we get closer to the end. Let us remain faithful to Jesus.
There is nothing unbalanced about calling out apostasy. Pastor James you are majoring in the minors. The church needs revival and reformation this is what we should focus on and not focus on side issues.
THIS WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO- THANK YOU FOR SHARING WE SHOULD NOT IDOLIZE ANYONE EVEN JOHN THE BAPTIST ERRORED.....HE QUESTIONED JESUS MESSIANIC..ONLY JESUS DOES NOT ERROR
Never expect that Pr. AH was able to say it loud and clear. God said let us reason together. But recommending a protest or going away the church, that's a different spirit. We need to pray before saying anything.
I don’t always have to say. But since you have said that, let me ask you something. Could you hold him to the same standard. Doesn’t he always have something to say about the Adventist church, even through he is not connect the general body of the church.
Hopefully, our daily lives would be the greatest protest to what does not align with true Adventisim. Everyone has their expectation of what should or should not be, based on their frame of reference. Now, what to do about that!! May our Heavenly Father speak to all of us. He knows them who trust in Him. (Nahum 1: 7)
Amen. This is what the early adventists did. They came together for better understanding of the scriptures and all needed to admit they didn’t know everything. We need to return to this and know that the laodicean approach of “I know everything and am I need of nothing” is not right.
Although I would agree with much of what Pastor Andrew ssys, I don't agree with all of what he says or the way in which he says what he says. As I have read here, his council seems to be void of love. As I was preparing to write this, something popped up in my mind which Ellen White wrote; Christ Himself did not suppress one word of truth, but He spoke it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact, and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness. He fearlessly denounced hypocrisy, unbelief, and iniquity, but tears were in His voice as He uttered His scathing rebukes. DA 353.1 Like it or not, concerning the way Andrew makes his presentations, no one can deny that he has a love for Gods church as I always see in the speaker of this presentation as well.
Pastor Andrew is indeed right in conveying the gospel message in many cases, but does seem to possess an air of militancy in some of his end time messages. I think his passion and sense of urgency outweighs his need to express such things with repentance, a call to unity under the banner of truth, and forgiveness by God’s loving grace as the foundation of every message.
Thank you brother i listen to you both and you are going the right way keep up the good work but don’t agree with that extreme statement of Andrew people don’t realize that he is a man an he could make a mistake
Andrew's opinion on public protest is not the right way for Adventist to address church issues. His counsel to divide the church and destroy the trust of the church. That is devilish.
I recommend for the people who live in FL (Orlando area) to go and check Andrew's church, I been there, they have not humility at all, specially him, at least that is what I found. The only missing thing is: people bowing down when he is walking throughout the church to do his sermons, he is the only preacher there, nobody else has anything to said, I been there couple times and it is always the same.
While rebuking sin show love to sinners. We ne d to realize it's NOT our duty to CLEANSE the church but GOD's. Two extremes in this case are: 1)doing nothing -leaving God to do our work and His work. 2) doing God's duty and neglect our duty (to God and humanity). These 2 ditches are a recipe for FAILURE. Remember we CAN'T do GOD's duty for we are NOT GOD. GOD bless this channel
Jesus said I leave you among wolves and you have to take of your cross and follow me. That doesnt sound like a soft easy way to me. It is a harsh route ahead and we are the church militant we march and we fight the wolves in Jesus name along the way.
"And now also," said the prophet, "the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." Not by its name, but by its fruit, is the value of a tree determined. If the fruit is worthless, the name cannot save the tree from destruction. John declared to the Jews that their standing before God was to be decided by their character and life. Profession was worthless. If their life and character were not in harmony with God's law, they were not His people. {DA 107.1}
Andrew can be as ‘right’ as rain and share truth & prophecy with accuracy, etc… however, his consistent critical, unChristlike spirit and radical counsels cannot recommend him.
Thank you for your work Pr James. You’re balanced, your gentle & kind, yet you display courage and boldness in a Christlike way when straight talk is needed. May God continue to bless this ministry.
I am so glad that people like yourself get it. I can agree with the good side of a man, but we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to his bad ungodly counsels.
“Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isaiah 57:15.
A precious heavenly trait that adorns the character of Christ is meekness. God’s people need this character trait more than ever right now. May He keep His mighty hand upon His people as things are amping up, and through the power of His Spirit, enable us more and more to reflect His beauty and loveliness in character. 🙏🏼😊
Why not Andrew use his platform to win souls and not turn them away
This is what I've been waiting to hear. Pastor James may God give you favor as you correct bad councels which may divide the church
@GratefulGardens7 I agree with you. He speak truth but sadly, love is lacking. I can not stand listening to just even the tone of his voice. I wonder, sometimes, does Jesus talk like him? I knew as far as I read the divine writings that Jesus has a tender, gentle voice. He rebuked people with love. The pitying look He did to Peter.... I pray that the right Spirit will possess the heart of brother Andrew. 🙏
Andrew may come across to some as being really firm. However, he is speaking the truth.
Correct 👍🏾 I am not denying that.
My sentiments exactly. And we are not followers of Andrew nor are we your followers we are just observers and from time to time we will comment but we love both of you. Be careful if you wanna be right all of the time and not take constructive criticism. We love you brother James as much as we love Andrew.....
@@mandladludlu8359I concur wholeheartedly ❤
@@mandladludlu8359 thanks 🙏🏾
@Dream244, Exactly, he just have a FIRM & URGENT tone of voice, so did C. D. Brooks.
Hey Pastor James, I'm sure you realize the overwhelming support for Andrew, no matter what.
I've only been a 7th day Adventist for probably about a year and knowing that this is the right church to be in. And the 7th day Adventist church makes sense and I've never seen the Bible so clearly in my whole life.
And the reason I am saying this is because I did watch. Andrew Herricaes for a good month and a 1/2 and I started feeling. The weight of heaviness on me and he is not very understanding of people's behaviors and that people are not perfect and yet he would condemn instead of convict.
I still do watch pastor Andrew, but I cannot watch him very often because he is very critical about a lot of stuff and it starts to get to me and if you're not careful.
You might become like a pharisee in that they are more about the law than they are about forgiving and merciful in the ways that Jesus would be.
May God strengthen you and keep you in the truth! Don’t follow men, follow God and His word. This is God’s remnant church but there is a lot of issues within which God will take care of, in His time and manner of choosing. Stay strong and trust in Jesus for your salvation. HE will not fail you! God bless you!
I rarely listen to him too
Keep your eyes on Jesus
I am with you. I really liked him but he stuff is very dramatic and divisive. And so that has me questioning him.
Welcome to the SDA church, and I'm glad you found this channel. If you're interested in exploring the Adventist faith, this is the link to my personal SDA resources site: sdaresourcecenter.50megs.com Most of the broken links have been weeded out. RUclips is one of my newest categories. When I made this site, years ago, I wasn't involved with YT yet.
I hear what you are sayin Bro James but the things Pastor Andrew is saying is needed for this time in order to keep apostasy in check and for revival and reformation to take place in our churches also God is using him to warn others not to put too much trust in our leaders because they are not infallible.
There were times when God was a bit lenient with his people and there was times he moved swiftly when apostasy went too far and in these last days you have to give the word a certain sound and hes doing a good job of it
@@samlovell911 I understand the rational. I believe by all means the leaders of the church must be held accountable and be called to repentance. I didn’t have a problem with that at all. My issues was the call to leave churches over the issue. This was unwise counsel my friend. You can love Andrew Henriques and support his work, but you must love enough to point out his errors.
@@PrJamesMediayou say you're a pastor and I assume that you understand the way GC works..when you say leaders should be hold accountable and called to repentance, do you understand what you're asking for? It's a system that's existing there, it's a body of people that take measures! Who's the one you're calling to repentance? Do you know specifically who took the decision whether one thing should be done or the other? It's all done in the secret Chambers where you don't sit but believe everything it's done there, it's all for the people and not against them! This call to repentance from brother Conrad it's so slippery that I find it hard to stand on this words!
@@IamSomebodyWithHim so when the GC leaders sat in there secret Chambers to pass a vaccine mandate was that for the good of its members?
@@PrJamesMedia He did not say, "Leave the SDA church"... What madness is this? He said, "If leadership is in open apostasy, then find ANOTHER church where the LEADERSHIP is NOT in apostasy." He supports both FAITHFUL conference and FAITHFUL INDEPENDENT" agencies. He has made this qualification time and time again, yet you and others seemingly CHOOSE to neglect mentioning that part in these videos. Where is your own discernment of balancing out these issues???
@@PrJamesMedia I believe Ellen White said something along the lines of (don't quote me) "...whole conferences will be lost..." if whole conferences are going to be lost, it means they become apostate, if they become apostate conferences then it means they have joined hands with Babylon and isn't the command to come out of Babylon? Or are you of the opinion that whole conferences (which would include local churches) can't be Babylon?
The disciples rebuked the leaders very publicly when they were doing wrong. Let the watchmen sound the alarm.
This wasn’t even my argument. I think you should listen to the message. Public rebuke wasn’t
MY BROTHER WHICH SIDE OF THE EXTREME WAS JESUS ON WHEN HE DESTROYED THE SCRIBES AND PHARASEES AND THE HIGH PRIESTS BY CALLING THEM WHITEN SEPULCHER BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND ETC. THAT CERTAINLY WAS NOT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DENUNCIATION, OR WAS IT??
@@cevalgriffiths7086 don't go there now, lol he would definitely be given what Dr. VIne got a dose of your not suited to preach in our pulpit you have gone crazy stuff like that. Listen you really have to foster a relationship with Jesus for yourself or else I don't know where I'd be cause although once might say he may come across tuff we all need that tuff love to straighten us out. Many are being treated as babies not wanting to offend while the person is headed down the wrong path. Any honest person would not disagree with being scolded for their own good. Yes at times I'm like what's that now but if I'm honest with myself i realize it's the truth he's speaking. To each his own we just have to be mindful that the babes amongst uo don't get overwhelmed with all this back n forth and decide to leave the church. Their blood would be on our shoulders.
Unless you become like
@@cevalgriffiths7086 you are making it a bit complicated. It doesn’t have to be this way. I did explain it clearly in my video.
Pastor Andrew was correct on all points
a smoothe message gets old
Only Jesus is correct on all points.
I totally agreed with you. I just did a study about the shaking and Ellen White is very clear that the tares and the wheat are growing together and is not our work to judge. God will make sure to do it. I always find Andrew very angry at the Church and aggressive! Where is the love? We should not focus on attacking the Church but to preach the word to the world. Yes, there is apostasy in the Church but is still God's Church. The shaking will make sure to purify the church, is not up to us to 'fix' the church. Ellen White talks about the false santification. We should be carefull about these kind of independant ministries that tell us to leave or to stop giving tithes etc.
Some people won't come to our church due to apostasy they say like abortion at our hospitals and trans operations and doing Eastern rituals at the ecumenical jesuit meetings. If someone speak the truth, they might see the church is true just some false teachers at the top.
One thing I can say is Pastor Andrew Henriques is consistent on his stance ...not wavering in truth .will speak out and protest the wrongs and has even called for all to repent ...I believe the Holy Spirit rests on Him and his ministry...He is hot and not cold neither lukewarm...noone can deny where he stands on issues contrary to God's Word...Watch ye Saints with eyelids waking...keep your lamps trimmed and burning .BE Careful of Smooth Preachers and wanting things to be smooth and easy and balanced ...Balanced will lead you to accept the Mark of The Beast!!!
Balanced isn't the same as neutral.... neutral wool mean toto accept the mark. Do you see the difference? Prophesy again did a podcast on this- the younger guys.
I heard pastor enriquez he never say leave the adventist church he say go to another that are doing the right thing.
Andrew is a truthful man of God. He is a man that calls a spade a spade. Truth is truth.
Well said @daviddelange7569
I agree ❤❤❤100%
For the record @clash of minds channel & WALTER VEITH & MARTIN SMITH are of the most honest preaching i have EVER HEARD!
True...they're not critical like Andrew
So true! I agree. Walter has a very Christ like spirit. Too much drama. God is in control. Pray for our leaders. It’s getting to the point of just gossip.
I don’t believe the issue is about dividing the church but more about exposing the wrongdoing of the general conference.
This is exactly my point
Well the video that I was speaking of was specifically about him calling the people in the Michigan conference churches to oppose their ministers based on their view concerning Conrad Vine. That’s the one I had an issue with.
Remind Andrew of your statement please 🙏🏿
Amen
You are wromg
He said People should not go to their local church if at all his pastor does not support Dr "Vaine"
That is division of the body of christ
I listen to Pastor Henriques often, and one thing he does is qualify his position by saying “ IF YOU can find a local SDA that is preaching present truth then support them if not then find somewhere that does” and I believe that is fair. Persons say “Andrew is telling persons to leave the church” what is the church? When Peter kept preaching in the synagogue (church) and they threw him out was he no longer apart of the “church”?. The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, you can be a Seventh Day Adventist whether you are in a prison or in a synagogue or excommunicated or in the conference once you stay true to the Word.
Did you listen to what Andrew said? Please don’t be radical this is God’s church . Andrew did something wrong by saying that people should leave and pastors should resign is wrong
@@denisewoozencroft948 Radical in what way? Your argument, respectfully, is sounding much like the Israelites of old. The Seventh Day Adventist Church is God’s church and anyone that is not standing on the principles God has laid out will be rooted out. None of the leaders/pastors are “the church”. If a PERSON is in open apostasy it is our Christian duty to appeal to them for change, if no change is made I don’t see how you can biblically justify staying when there are other ministers within the denomination that are leading by example.
This Church has been divided. Conrad Vine did not bring this division.
I don’t think he did either. I had never said that. I think he was trying to hold the leaders accountable. Which is only right and true.
If the both of you believe that Vine was right in his represensible presentation, I call upon you to repent as sooner or later you will be held accountable for giving momentum to falsehood about the GC handled the covid related issues. I am extremely saddened by the confusion and outright promotion of ignorance in our church. As a proud very conservative adventist the whole GC backlash re: covid vaccines is scandalous😢.
@@dominicnoel1725how they dealt with it is a disgrace and they threw is under the bus. You can't see it. They are in league with the papacy/ Jesuits. God showed me. Evidence shows it. You're wrong
““Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” -Jesus Christ
Matthew 10:34-39 NKJV
Right on------------Powerful
I used to listen to Save to serve daily, I recognize it developed a very fault finding character anywhere I went, my focus was not on worship but on the errors of others. Also the focus he has it is not to truly get the work of God down he is constantly bashing the church. He says the church is not GC that he’s the church… and he doesn’t want to be part of it because of apostasy? The church will have errors and evils existing in the church and the sifting will happen in the church not outside the church.
Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while ➡️the sinners ➡️in Zion will be ➡️sifted out-the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths.... The remnant that purify their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy.44SDA Bible Commentary 7:911.
Correct 👍🏾 I had gone through a same exact phase. Listening to Andrew Heriques had caused me to become extremely impatient with my wife and children’s flaws I was very despotic, and self righteous. While I can’t blame him for all of it, but listening to him didn’t help. I had to put my eye on Jesus Christ, and then I began to realize how brainwashed I was by his some of his messages. I began to spend a thoughtful hour each day with Christ, and his love has transformed my ways. Even today my wife could tell you, I have changed a lot.
“It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross.. DA 83.4
Exactly. He is always fault finding. "It is not the opposition of the world that endangers us the most; it is the evil cherished in the hearts of professed believers that works our most grievous disaster and most retards the progress of God's cause. There is no surer way of weakening our spirituality than by being envious, suspicious of one another, full of faultfinding and evil surmising. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:15-18. CCH 44.4
I can agree with you on some points. Nevertheless, please let's reference this often misquoted text in its proper context.
We often find 2SM 380 being read out of context. The quote refers to a specific time period, The Mark of The Beast.
It is at this time that the quote is referring to when there will be no operating sda church or building organization. THE CHURCH in this context refers to the people of God, not the building or the organization. The fall referred to is about the sifting- the faithful remnant will not fall; doesn't say that the legal entity will continue to function during no-buy-no-sell.
Here is the quote in its entirety, with context for those who often misquote the text. 🙏🏿
"We are to be ready and waiting for the orders of God. Nations will be stirred to their very center. Support will be withdrawn from those who proclaim God's only standard of righteousness, the only sure test of character. *And all who will not bow to the decree of the national councils and obey the national laws to exalt the sabbath instituted by the man of sin, to the disregard of God's holy day* , will feel, not the oppressive power of popery alone, but of the Protestant world, the image of the beast.
Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out-the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ". 2SM 380
Good counsel my brother.
He not fault finding the Bible say point out our faults one with another how can we encourage each other if we keep our mouth close when we are making petty excuses we criticize people like pastor Henriques but as I say preach pastor preach
Are there any Andrew Henriques followers? I like your presentations and many other present truth speakers. We're all followers of Jesus.
My brother I totally agree with you. I love pastor Andrew teaching especially on prophecy. But when it comes to the conference he tears them down. We have to also bear in mind that anything posted on utube is viewed by unbelievers as well. So we have to be careful what is being discussed on utube. P
I agree we are taking to the world and we dont know who is going to listen
But would that not mean we should quit commenting on what's happening in the church on RUclips since the whole world is watching?
And why shouldn't they be called to account?
They have many souls in their hands.
Watchmen must sound the alarm.
There is nothing secret that will not be revealed.
Joycelyn I agree. Enriques washes all SDA dirty laundry in public daily. His channel thrives on church bashing titles to grab peoples attention. He isnt mindful that unbelievers have access to those videos.
@@luciansunset1that's your opinion. I had noticed this as a new Christian in the church and conferences and our other institutions. Ppl see the evil the gc and conferences do and they don't want to join us because if this like how they don't want to join RCC... by exposing some might see we do have the truth despite the evils being done. It's nothing new
I used to listen to Henriquez but I couldn't take it anymore. I was been critical of my brethren in the faith. I appreciate your ministry, Pastor James. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank God I have got a comrade
I know of a situation in the Caribbean where a church had a problem with the local Confrence as it related to District Pastor. The church did everything possible to resolve the issue to no avail. Eventually the brethren decide not to do any remittance to the confrence. So the tithe was collected and lodged to churches bank account and this went on for months
Eventually the Confrence decided to dialogue and resolve the matter thereafter the remittance was as done. This is one way of holding our leaders accountable
Pastor Wilson admonishes us to hold our leaders to account
I grew up in churches that did the same. The conference always did show up to resolve whatever is going on. It's only different here because they're still getting paid...
I heard that happening in the Caribbean and by 8am the next sabbath a Representative from the conference office was to talk about what's going on..before that they (the conference) REFUSE to talk to the church this just shows all the Conference or GC cares about is the almighty dollar..
@@allisonstephens1837 True absolutely no interest in our members, nothing for our seniors, just the almighyt Dollar!!!!.........what a shame
If the churches under the leadership of the GC was doing what the Lord has set them to do, then we would have already seen the times fulfilled & persecution, but it's these self supporting ministries outside the conference that are preaching present truth. These GC leaders in their apostasy are saying we are leaders of the true church, but don't forget Jesus told the same Jews that God is able to raise children up from the stones, and he can do the same here. Christ is waiting on his church to fulfil his mandate, while GC leaders are promoting ecumenical activities with those in Babylon.
@@TeStOs78 what is truth ? Bashing each other on utube? My spirit is crushed listening to all that back and forth. The souls out there needs us. Since we are not using the utube platform to save them let us go door to door. Let us hit the streets and save the poor souls. That what God has commissioned us to do. We are scaring our unbelievers who are viewing our channels. Too much division. It’s scary. This is the end of time and the devil is very busy dividing the church. Let’s not give the enemy the satisfaction
Pastor James, you're a descent, humble, faithful, Truthful man of God. May God continue to Bless you
Keeping our eyes on Jesus Christ is where our focus should be. Too far left or too far right are both in a ditch. We are facing prophecy being fulfilled quickly. The enemy is distracting us in every way. We need to be focused on Christ. BTW love Carlton Knott. My father came into the church through his ministry when he was in Bermuda.
Lukewarm is not balanced. Where do you stand on "any" issue? These are the last days. Christ does not want his Church to be lukewarm or what you are calling " balanced". Was Christ lukewarm or balanced? You would have called him an extremist too.
That is the job of the Holy Spirit, not Andrew Henriques or Mr Vine.
@@emor22huh? Read Revelation 18 regarding the Loud Cry.
@@emor22nah it’s our job. The Holy Spirit works through us. What are you talking about?
@@emor22Not if you are called to be a Watchman!
We have to warn and tell the truth.
@@emor22 Who does the Holy Spirit speak thru?
Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear know what you meant and you did not even have to clarify what you meant. Some of his followers idolize him like some kind of god so anything you say about him (or what he said) they would take offense. They even miss the good parts you speak about him. May God open our eyes and give us a Christ like heart and mind. Only one God folks. Lets stop idolizing humans.
I realized that. It’s a form of cognitive dissonance. They hate me now, but they might love me later. I don’t mind being the one guy on the internet 🛜 who was crying out saying to be careful of the SDA extremists in our midst.
Because he Andrew thinks he is God to separate the flock, the fools treat him m like he's a god.
Amen, well said, I agree. Be followers of Jesus.❤
Thank you Pr James for making your original video that led to this one. I found the way you assessed the things that Andrew Henriques said very balanced, and you did it with a spirit of care and meekness. Thank you for taking the time to highlight the issue of AH's bad counsel. I used to listen to Andrew but also found my spirit becoming more judgemental, sad and separatist when I was listening to him. My spirit had no peace. God bless you to keep analysing and sharing a balanced perspective on things.
I believe what pastor Henriques was saying to those in Michigan, where the GC put the ban on Conrad Vine from preaching in any of those churches, was to go to their pastors and find out where they stand on this issue. If they go along with that wrong, then leave. So, it's not "those poor pastors" as you said, they are part of the problem, just like during the "pandemic" when so many just went along with all of it.
100%
The great commission is to go and witness to the world. Not spending all your time accusing and tearing down the brethren.
To be fair to Pastor Henriques and we must always try to be balanced or at least get our facts right. Saved to Serve does a lot of evangelism work. I am always impressed with their young people who seems to have a passion for God's work and spreading the gospel. To suggest that all Pastor Henriques does is to tear down the brethren is not true. I personally don't always like how he comes across in some of his presentations, but we can choose to listen or not to listen.
He wrong ....Andrew love to create more trouble...than needs be
@@purrplemane5954both is true my friend. He does a lot of outreach with the youth, and has a powerful online influence. But he also preached messages to divide the church. All I have asked for is for you to avoid all extremes.
He keeps looking for the faults in peoble....that's not his job....
This is not what God wants....he is making division in the church....God wants unity.....
When will you sit down with Pr. Andrew Henriques????
God bless your ministry brother Pr. James. Praying for you and family and our church 🙏🏿
Most people who love Henriquez become fanatics, divisive, critical, and bitter against the church and the leadership. They need a new experience with God and a change of heart and mind
If saying the leadership made serious mistakes during the pandemic in not standing for the faithful who refusing to bow the knee to jabs makes one a fanatic, I'll be one every single day of the week.
Accountability is not a bad word, we have many councils in the testimonies, it's God who gave it to us, Henriquez only parrots them. Loving and uniting with God's truth will naturally bring separation from blatant apostasy.
I believe that these people are sincere. But I think they have been dissatisfied with the church, and end up in extreme camps in an effort to avoid apostasy. When I point this out, they see me as an enemy. It’s sad, but I am not trying to be.
@@PrJamesMedia I can say this I left the Church when two of the most powerful Preacher I can think of were Preachers C.D. Brooks and E.E. Cleveland at the age of my late 20's in the 80's when I return back to the Conference Church in 2018 I was shook off my foundation of what had become of God's true Church see you have to talk with someone who had left the Church for many, many, many years and came back to a Church with no standards where anything goes God is not pleased of his Church today and I was shock to the core now you all are trying to say the none Conference lines are extremism, one thing I can say I travel to Ga. just to get the truth and love to go where the truth are still being taught, evangelizing, not wearing these clothing of the world, healthy eating and excising, you know as well as I do there are just a very small amount of Conferences Churches preaching some truth because when I came back to church another member that had left and he came back a month after I did he was talking about the big change that had taken place in the Church also, no you all do not see anything wrong because you all haven't left the Church for a long period of time or if any, so you all don't see what we saw, I explain to a friend of mine that I could not attend that Church and she took me over to a non Conference Church that was preaching the truth this Church remain open even after the pestilence and all of the Conference Churches was closed down but they still wanted your tithe money our Churches had no business closing down they were telling the members to take the ___ and me knowing my faith and beliefs it was wrong they wouldn't give you a letter so your job could put it on file, I know in whom I believe in and that is Jesus Christ and I know a manservant from God because the LORD has shown me, Pastor Henriques is all about telling you what the LORD says and he will stand up and let you know it is for him as well as others, this man and others are trying to save souls, the Conference is airy there own dirty laundry just like that 164,000 million dollars and when the Pastors come in a tell the truth what the LORD have told them to say openly because it was said openly then it seems to be a problem. Jesus is on his way back whether we are ready or not so please stop pricking against the fence and take heed to the word of God, I keep everyone lift up in prayer daily. No one is going to take our crown if our crown is lost it's nobody's fault but ours, I plan on keeping my Crown. Amen Praising God all the day long. Hallelujah!! Praise his Holy name
Pastor James agree with you. Sad enough TOO MANY UPLIFT THE PREACHER RATHER THAN CHRIST AND HIS TRUTH.
Brethren we should use moments like these to return to the Bible. The scriptures says there is nothing new under the sun, so I went to the Bible and I was led to the book of Isaiah and the book of Ezekiel, these prophets were sent right before the destruction of Jerusalem. Yes I understand that persons believe Pastor Henriques message was too forceful, but so did Israel of old when they received the warnings. God says in Ez 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?”
This is saddened my heart, we should abide by our Saviour's last Words of COMMAND that we should love one another as He has loved each of us unconditionally, and for this, the world will know that we are His disciples (John 13: 34,35). We should never take sides who is right and who is whatever. These pastors who are in the core of all these, are brothers; our brothers, they are our families. Let us pray for the working of the Holy Spirit to bring Unity inspite of differences and to strengthen our love for our God and for each other no matter what 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️💝♥️
Do you know who was also called extremists? Wycliffe, Huss, Jerome, Luther and even E G.White, amongst others. Jesus himself was regarded as an opposer of the status quo, because the truth always meets with opposition.
I suggest that if we steer away from looking at men and really focus on our bibles and the SOP we will understand that the events of yesteryear with the reformers are being replicated today. Think about what that will look like in present day and how those men will be regarded. Noah was also an extremist subject to the harshest criticism, how many years did he persist and how many listened?
The church is being groomed to accept the mandates of men not realising we are already in a state of apostasy.
The only reason the SDA church today, is not being persecuted is because it is not delivering God’s word as it should. It poses no opposition or threat to the world.
That in itself should cause us to hear alarm bells, rather than castigating those ringing the alarm bell!!
“The church has turned back from following Christ her Leader and is steadily retreating toward Egypt” 5T 217:2
I love listening to both of you. In fact I am learning a lot from every source of information. I have the power to CHOOSE what I like to think about every issue raised in the presentations. The LORD knows what each person's view are.
Keep going. I respect you and your works like everyone who present their work.
I agree with you Pastor, God bless your ministry
Thanks, I needed to hear that
Pr James, always enjoy your view points. Keep them coming!
I used to look at our “off-shoot” church members as off and against God and Adventist church - i no longer do - at my age of 50 I see that some of us wish for more for harder work and others on the body do not - many sda just don’t want to be called out of their nonsenses and neither do their conferences so FAITHFUL BIBLE FEARING ADVENTIST have taken their names off books and withheld tithes from conference for good reason and they should be commended for actually sounding alarms that the Majority of us lukewarm close our ears to .. 🙏🏾 God will judge us all as we are not saved by denominations or conference or membership
In the last days before the sunday Law we all need to know what side we are on by speaking to Pastors who may not be aware is giving them an opportunity to make a decision. It could come in other ways but pressing home the issue gives opportunity for ministers to shepherd their churches. As the sealing process is here we need to sigh and cry or the blood will be on our shoulders. This is what Andrew is saying. You keep repeating bad counsels but if you know what time in history we are in you would change your speech. Go into the high ways and byways go into the streets and compel them to come in. The message is one of urgency. But you will never see that!
In this times
Call what is wrong is to attack or criticize!!
I support pastor Henriquez!!
Prove all things hold fast to that which is good.
I love the way that you respectfully address important topics. Not lukewarm at all. No need to go for the jugular. There seems to be a vigilante mob mentality movement which clouds the mind when we follow man instead of God. Of course Andrew has a lot of knowledge. He presents up to date topics with good sources but we need to study for ourselves and not hang on every word especially when not all advice is good advice. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy ways. Proverbs 3:6
I saw that God has honest children among the nominal Adventists and the fallen churches, and before the plagues shall be poured out, ministers and people will be called out from these churches and will gladly receive the truth. Satan knows this; and before the loud cry of the third angel is given, he raises an excitement in these religious bodies, that those who have rejected the truth may think that God is with them. He hopes to deceive the honest and lead them to think that God is still working for the churches. But the light will shine, and all who are honest will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant. . EW 261.1
I think you have a very good point, even though I do listen to Andrew a lot, and I love his messages 99% of the time. I do notice that he can b a little over the top from time to time. But he is doing more than I am for God, so I have no room to talk. I would love to have you and Andrew on a video together. I am sure that the two of you as brothers in Christ would be able to have a great conversation and keep it civil.
@@NacidoDelSol that’s all I was saying. But his followers took it as a personal attack on Andrew. They have totally missed it.
I remember Andrew at school. He always had an angry expression on his face. He fosters a lot of bitterness towards the church organization. Never misses a chance to attack.
I have similar stories. He seem bitter. He doesn’t seem to have the joy of the Lord, but I could be 💯 wrong about it.
@@PrJamesMediaYou got it. He has a personal vendetta. The Devil wants to sow division.
I can't speak for Andrew's earlier days in school because I've never met him personally, but i can speak on your statement. Obviously, you love sin, to denfend sin is to agree with it, Andrew is actually doing the opposite, he's a watch man on the wall, crying out for the sins and abominations committed in the church, the very counsel we were given to do. Are you studying for yourself or repeating what people have told you.
Pastor Andrew Henriques is a very happy and kind man have to ever sat down and talk with him in person? He is a very good guy working for the LORD in many ways, when it comes to God work he takes it very serious as we all should be like that I pray for boldness, this man is a God fearing and God sent weather you all like it or not just remember we are closer to the end of Jesus second coming, did not they prosecute Jesus and his disciple so also will not we have to go through the same thing, our GC leaders are involving themselves in the ecumenical and in the stock market which we know this is gambling we all know this because within it was aired on RUclips just like this about Past C. Vine, most of our Churches are doing everything they can think of and big enough to do, they are the ones leading the flock away from the Church oh if only you knew how disgusted the members are they are hungry for truth and are fed up, and if we think we are going on to heaven any how that is not so, Jesus has already told us how it is going to play out in the end and we still think we have much time to play around with sin, we are to live our lives as today is our last day on earth getting Victory over sin and dying to self. Pastor James you really need to get on your knees and pray and let the LORD lead you in a more positive way. I am really telling you this out of love and from what I am seeing on your platform this is not your calling, LORD help our Church shake us like never before out of our slumbering sleep, bless us to realize the M.O.B and the NSL is closer than what we think your judgement begins at the house of God first, LORD I pray for true heart Conversion for us all, and when your sheep hear your voice I Pray they will harden not their hearts but accept your son Jesus as their personal savior this is my pray in Jesus. Amen!! Pastor Henriques and Pastor Vine are on the same page I think we should hold these men accountable
@Matteo-davinci it is not defense of sin to say that calling for separation from the Sda church is wrong, how we say and what we say do actually matter, no one here is defending the problems in our church, simply saying that he is going about it the WRONG way, and what he recommends if done would not serve to advance the gospel but merely our own perception of our righteousness. (and we know from sop/Bible we have NONE)
Sorry, the SDA organization is the one who created division by not backing those of us who took a stand. The SDA organization said bow down to the world. I said no. I stopped paying tithe to the conference and paid it directly to the local church when they the conference said take the shot. I’m now thinking of redirecting my tithe to independent ministries.
Actually you don’t pay tithes, you return tithes. It’s the Lord’s. But I do agree with you, you should return the tithe to whichever ministry is feeding you.
@@PrJamesMediaI have heard that phrase before of returning your tithe to where you're being fed. Where is it from?
And do not forget the blatant eccumenism and climate change lingo and activities (ADRA) and the Wall Street holdings are obscene.

2. Challenge the ideas, by starting with how sop and scripture are being connected. Is it in Context/out of Context?
Often times, Pastor Andrew goes out of his way,....deep dives into the source contextually, as council is given.. Without fail, it is often that church leadership are found in error. That is a 💯 fact, Pastor James.
I think you are a sincere man, however, I also think that your attempt to offer balanced views on matters as this, is in opposition to the straight testimony.
The Spirit of the Lord is with Pastor Andrew. Be not too quick to put out Reaction videos, as they may not age well.
Thanks my friend. But I respectfully disagree with you. A lot of what I have said when it comes to his wrong advices that he has given has yet to be proven wrong. I understand that you can disagree, but you are not telling me why I am wrong. Therefore, I stand.
Why are this people don’t listen to what Jesus said? Does any of this people remember the wheat and weed parable? Don’t leave the church. Go and pray with them and for them. That’s how Gods work will be done.
"The hearts of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12
People tend to only respond when they're triggered. They don't want to THINK and REASON together but they would rather fight senselessly.

I don’t think he is saying to leave the SDA denomination, he is saying to meet with another SDA church. I believe there is a different from separating from a church body due to the leadership being in apostasy, and separating from a church because some of the members are in apostasy.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. When Christians contend, Satan comes in to take control. How often has he succeeded in destroying the peace and harmony of churches. What fierce controversies, what bitterness, what hatred, has a very little matter started!
The Lord has given us in His word definite, unmistakable instructions, by obedience to which we may preserve union and harmony in the church. Brethren and sisters, are you giving heed to these inspired injunctions? Are you Bible readers and doers of the word? Are you striving to fulfill the prayer of Christ that His followers might be one? “The God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God.” “Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

@southernyankee2300 that's saying, " don't leave marriage, just find another spouse"
"God hates divorce" the example of marriage is the same relationship with the church and Him.
Pr. Conrad's message did not promote that, he simply said reallocate your tithe to a different conference.
Pr. Henriques' message on the other hand was exactly the opposite of Conrad's and it was divisive!
The wheat and the tares parable, God will be the one to harvest the wheat and burn the weeds. Not us, the pastors, elders, or anyone BUT God.
@@ubercow21 maybe living in an “Adventist Ghetto” as I do, one has a different viewpoint. With around a hundred churches in a drivable area, if we find a church too liberal, or prefer one pastor’s preaching over another, we go to a different church. I don’t see the difference or fault in doing that, so I don’t find any error with leaving a church where you feel the leadership is in apostasy and joining one whose leadership is not in apostasy. I don’t find your correlation to a marriage applicable.
I used to watch his stuff but his firmness never say well with me… but loved his information
Andrew is distroying the work of God - You cannot denigrate the Church of God in front of the World , SDAs must preach the gospel of salvation to the world but Andrew berates the Church to the world-- who then in their sane mind from the world can join the Church?
I agree! Avoiding all extremes
Amen so true…some of these people are emotional followers and refuse to be independent thinkers, and open minded, which is not safe at all…. no one but Christ is infallible..
That’s all I was calling for. I think there is some serious idolatries going on in the hearts of God’s people when it comes to their allegiance to personality of some of these men.
You are right 100%
Thank you Bro James
Look, somewhere we need to stand up to the apostasy in our leadership. There is no reason to listen to a minister that refuses to stand for the right, what else is he not standing up for? There are too many churches to stay in one that is lead by someone in apostasy or is a weak leader. As I stated I another post, I rarely listen to Pastor H. and maybe he should have said it in a calmer way, because he seems angry, but just because he could have said it more diplomatically doesn’t mean that he is wrong. Just my opinion btw.
Yes. Henriques has a spirit of hostility
We go to church for fellowship with one another towards God and draw nearer to Jesus. The pastor should not be the reason to go or not go. We answer to God, not men.
Blessed Sabbath! My brother you are right. When the Spirit of God dwells within, He tells us what to take and what to sift out. I hear certain things and the Spirit of God often tells me to delete and reject that comment or opinion. None are perfect but Christ so let’s look to Him and live. Blessings!
Brother, no disrespect. Are you actually studying for yourself, what Andrew Henriques has mentioned is bible leaf, also quoted from the spirit prophecy. God cannot use an apostate church to finish his work, because of one man's sin an entire congregation had to run for their lives, in the day's of Achan, when he stole a babylonish garment along with silver and gold. Members were killed because of the sin he committed. It cost him and his family their lives also.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. When Christians contend, Satan comes in to take control. How often has he succeeded in destroying the peace and harmony of churches. What fierce controversies, what bitterness, what hatred, has a very little matter started!
The Lord has given us in His word definite, unmistakable instructions, by obedience to which we may preserve union and harmony in the church. Brethren and sisters, are you giving heed to these inspired injunctions? Are you Bible readers and doers of the word? Are you striving to fulfill the prayer of Christ that His followers might be one? “The God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God.” “Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”
Testimonies to the Church vol. 5 pp. 248
God used a faithful remnant in ancient Israel to start spreading the gospel to the gentiles. Not everyone will be converted
If this denomination cannot preach the gospel base on your own opinion because of Apostsy who else in this last days will do that.
The devil can also quote the Bible and SOP. What is the result of his work, what is the spirit that is present? God’s? What did Jesus say to John and James when they wanted to call fire from God?
@paidosam so now you are calling good evil and evil good. Did you hear Mr. henriques quote any Scripture or SOP out of context. I don't go by what people say or their opinions. I prefer to search the Scriptures and check for myself. I would suggest you do the same. Sister White mentioned... specifically in her writings, when Jesus left the holy place and entered into the most holy place, satan took over the adventist churches, there was much light and power, but no love, sweet joy, or holy spirit, why, because christ and holy spirit is knocking calling members out of the fallen adventist churches.
Henríquez views are extreme.. I pray for him.. I know people who have left Save to serve and lot of the dark things that are happening behinds the scenes it’s not good. 🙏🙏
A few words more press upon my mind. I want you to be united with the church, not because I regard all the church members perfect nor because I regard you perfect. God has precious ones in His church; there are also men and women who are as tares among the wheat. But the Lord does not give you or anyone else the office of saying who are tares and who are wheat. We may see and condemn the faults of others, while we have greater faults which we have never realized, but which are distinctly seen by others. God requires you to give to the world and the church a good example, a life that represents Jesus. There are duties to be performed and responsibilities to be borne. The world has not enough true Christians; the church has need of them; society cannot spare them. Christ’s prayer for His disciples was: “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” Jesus knows we are in the world, exposed to its temptations, but He loves us and will give us grace to triumph over its corrupting influences. He would have us perfect in character, that our waywardness may not occasion moral deformity in others. - {5T 333.3}
You see that your brethren do not come up to the Bible standard, that there are defects in them; and you dwell upon these defects. You feed upon them instead of feeding upon Christ, and by beholding you become changed into the same image. But criticize no one; do not contrast your own exact course with the deficiencies of others. You may be in danger of wanting to correct others and make them feel their wrongs. Do not do this. This is not the work God has given you to do. He has not made you a church tinker. There are many things which you view in the light of the Bible. But though you may be in the right on some points, do not get the impression that your positions are always correct; for on many points your ideas are distorted and will not bear criticism. - {5T 334.1}
I was shown the necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily imbibing new errors. I saw that neither young nor old should attend their meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach error that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the commandments of men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has delivered us from such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty wherewith He has set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with us when we go to listen to error, without being obliged to go; for unless He sends us to those meetings where error is forced home to the people by the power of the will, He will not keep us. The angels cease their watchful care over us, and we are left to the buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened by him and the power of his evil angels; and the light around us becomes contaminated with the darkness. EW 124.3

I call all sda members to use their common sense coz much of the religion needs common sense
I like both channels. That being said I live in Michigan attend SDA church. I will be speaking to my pastor. I don't know if pastor will be at my church today. He has 3 churches I think. I am troubled by this. I will continue to watch and listen to both. God bless
Pastor Henriques is way to faultfinding, persons may call it truth but they need more discernment to see where sometimes he takes things too far. Some of them praise him as if he is some kind of god. Only one God people , some of us need to stop idolizing that man. "It is not the opposition of the world that endangers us the most; it is the evil cherished in the hearts of professed believers that works our most grievous disaster and most retards the progress of God's cause. There is no surer way of weakening our spirituality than by being envious, suspicious of one another, full of faultfinding and evil surmising. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:15-18. CCH 44.4
You are balanced my friend. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who sees this.
God's word is nay or yea not balanced. Address the other side of the conference that ban Dr. Vine. Was it okay to do tha?
In my opinion, you sound lost, I think you better go back and search the Scriptures.
@Matteo-davinci apparently is the mindset of some of his followers. If you don't agree with everything, he says you are lost and doomed. I am not one to say who is lost and who is not. I am not God.
@jizelf633 well....keep your eyes on Jesus, don't watch his followers, be like the bereanians, search the Scriptures, and see if what he's saying lines up with the word & spirit of prophecy.
Bro bad counsel according to you… what’s wrong by telling those members to talk with their pastors.so them pastors our so pious they can’t be question. But what you brought doesn’t have no back up of scriptures and spirit of prophecy. What he was saying was nothing but the truth.brother you’re not preaching you don’t have a ministry what you’re doing here so just doing your little thing..
Be careful about what you say about God servant bro. Brother you’re acting like an actor you will not criticizing the them false leaders of ours but you will come after Andrew and you are calling us fans of him No bro I’m a fan of truth . Let the conferences come back to true repentance and preach the gospel as it should and stand firm upon the foundation even Andrew will come back to them. My brother you can do whatever you want you can’t stop him because you didn’t give him this ministry . Put use to your own counsel bro as you said you’re being here 2010 keep learning bro and put it to rest. Happy sabbath
It’s good you need to do this kind of program so people start waking up!!
Agreed, if we have an understanding of the politic context of the 1st Century we see how balanced Jesus was in his message and life. Jesus was not a liberal sadducee, neither a conservative Pharisee, nor was he a zealot pursuing violence and extreme actions to bring about freedom and peace. Jesus was balanced and stood for truth. Really appreciate your videos Pastor, God bless.
My opinion is that we should focus on
We should focus on God and our soul salvation and not tearing down the church
James, I think you should highlight Mark Finley- Will the seventh day adv. church survive
Calling someone “extremist” and “right” based on them wanting the truth is pretty troubling.
I understand the prophecy about betrayal so much better now, how easy people will turn against other church members.
You have misconstrued my word again. I did this video to explain what I meant, but I guess it’s not good enough. However, others in the comment seem to get it.
You have stated in your comment everything what Andrew has been doing & will continue to do!
@@PrJamesMediasometimes, silence is eloquence. Go speak to pastor Andrew privately. Then focus on preaching the word. All this is unnecessary
I think that the ppl. who r criticizing u in regard to Andrew I think that this r the ppl who do not read for the scripture n spirit of prophecy. They just listen to him n take what he says. I used to listen to him n I stop because the things that he was saying did not minister to me. I listened to probably 5 videos in succession n they were all bad, the whole videos from start to finish he was criticizing other ministers n ministries. I don't need to hear that kind of msg. All he does he criticize others.
I love ur ministry, the first time I listened to u I learned alot. Keep the good wrk.
Pastor you are correct. Don't let those deceived by Conjew bully you
"The ministers are HOVERING OVER CHURCHES, WHICH KNOW THE TRUTH, while thousands are PERISHING out of Christ.
If the proper instruction were given, if the PROPER METHODS were FOLLOWED, every church member would DO HIS WORK as a member of the body.
He would do CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY WORK.
But the CHURCHES ARE DYING, and they want a minister to preach to them.
They should be taught to bring a faithful tithe to God, that he may STRENGTHEN and bless them.
They should be brought into WORKING ORDER, that the breath of God may come to them.
They should be taught that unless THEY CAN STAND ALONE, WITHOUT a MINISTER, THEY NEED to BE CONVERTED ANEW, and BAPTIZED ANEW.
They need to be BORN AGAIN." GCB April 12, 1901, par. 21
The word of God says you should either be cold or hot. Not luke warm. So being extreme for Jesus is the way to God.
I don think his intention is to tell people to leave the church i think he his pointing out the wrongs being done by the conference.
Prove him wrong, nit disagree with his teachings. That's your opinion. I am in Conference church, grew up SDA and never heard Present Truth as i hear it as from Henriques.
Peter was a radical.
He know the WORD. He preach the WORD. He is Elijah in the present.
He should be the Conference President. We would not have to lose our jobs and livelihood.
There’s a spirit in how the message is delivered. For example, I can stand outside abortion clinics and bars and scream scripture to people all day long about how they’re going to die in hell fire because of their sins. Is it true to scripture, yeah but there is no Christ in doing that. This is where we mustn’t be deceived. Satin messengers will gain a following with an appearance of a biblical message but it won’t carry the love and power of heaven if the spirit isn’t from God.
@@dr.johnwatson2503 Bad example. I have heard Randy Skeet say the same as Andrew. Leave the churches that oppose to the bible and Spirit prophecy. Leaving a church and leaving the faith are not the same. As human beings all have heart work to do. Trouble will only increase among us as we get closer to the end. Let us remain faithful to Jesus.
There is nothing unbalanced about calling out apostasy. Pastor James you are majoring in the minors. The church needs revival and reformation this is what we should focus on and not focus on side issues.
I’m glad you reach out to other Christians like the Methodist. I’d like to see more open talk like that.
THIS WAS A VERY GOOD VIDEO- THANK YOU FOR SHARING WE SHOULD NOT IDOLIZE ANYONE EVEN JOHN THE BAPTIST ERRORED.....HE QUESTIONED JESUS MESSIANIC..ONLY JESUS DOES NOT ERROR
Never expect that Pr. AH was able to say it loud and clear. God said let us reason together. But recommending a protest or going away the church, that's a different spirit. We need to pray before saying anything.
You always have something to say about pastor Andrew leave him and examine yourself ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I don’t always have to say. But since you have said that, let me ask you something. Could you hold him to the same standard. Doesn’t he always have something to say about the Adventist church, even through he is not connect the general body of the church.
you shall not turn to the left or to the right means being focused doesn't mean which camp you are in it means to observe and focus on Gods word
Hopefully, our daily lives would be the greatest protest to what does not align with true Adventisim. Everyone has their expectation of what should or should not be, based on their frame of reference. Now, what to do about that!! May our Heavenly Father speak to all of us. He knows them who trust in Him. (Nahum 1: 7)
Pastor J I like your balance. Thank you for what you do. We chat on FB Bro BL 😅 I want to do something like this as well. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 praying for you
Whenever you are ready my friend.
Amen. This is what the early adventists did. They came together for better understanding of the scriptures and all needed to admit they didn’t know everything. We need to return to this and know that the laodicean approach of “I know everything and am I need of nothing” is not right.
Although I would agree with much of what Pastor Andrew ssys, I don't agree with all of what he says or the way in which he says what he says. As I have read here, his council seems to be void of love. As I was preparing to write this, something popped up in my mind which Ellen White wrote;
Christ Himself did not suppress one word of truth, but He spoke it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact, and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness. He fearlessly denounced hypocrisy, unbelief, and iniquity, but tears were in His voice as He uttered His scathing rebukes.
DA 353.1
Like it or not, concerning the way Andrew makes his presentations, no one can deny that he has a love for Gods church as I always see in the speaker of this presentation as well.
Pastor Andrew is indeed right in conveying the gospel message in many cases, but does seem to possess an air of militancy in some of his end time messages. I think his passion and sense of urgency outweighs his need to express such things with repentance, a call to unity under the banner of truth, and forgiveness by God’s loving grace as the foundation of every message.
Thank you brother i listen to you both and you are going the right way keep up the good work but don’t agree with that extreme statement of Andrew people don’t realize that he is a man an he could make a mistake
Find Andrew very aggressive so I stopped listening to him some time ago.
Andrew's opinion on public protest is not the right way for Adventist to address church issues. His counsel to divide the church and destroy the trust of the church. That is devilish.
I recommend for the people who live in FL (Orlando area) to go and check Andrew's church, I been there, they have not humility at all, specially him, at least that is what I found.
The only missing thing is: people bowing down when he is walking throughout the church to do his sermons, he is the only preacher there, nobody else has anything to said, I been there couple times and it is always the same.
Sounds like a cult😢
As we get closer to the end the genuine will end up worshipping at home!
While rebuking sin show love to sinners. We ne d to realize it's NOT our duty to CLEANSE the church but GOD's. Two extremes in this case are:
1)doing nothing -leaving God to do our work and His work.
2) doing God's duty and neglect our duty (to God and humanity).
These 2 ditches are a recipe for FAILURE.
Remember we CAN'T do GOD's duty for we are NOT GOD.
GOD bless this channel
Jesus' last public sermon was Matthew chapter 23. What Turner voice and demeanor do you think he used when delivering that message???
Jesus said I leave you among wolves and you have to take of your cross and follow me. That doesnt sound like a soft easy way to me. It is a harsh route ahead and we are the church militant we march and we fight the wolves in Jesus name along the way.
"And now also," said the prophet,
"the ax is laid unto the root of the
trees: therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire." Not by
its name, but by its fruit, is the value
of a tree determined. If the fruit is
worthless, the name cannot save the
tree from destruction. John declared
to the Jews that their standing before
God was to be decided by their
character and life. Profession was
worthless. If their life and character
were not in harmony with God's law,
they were not His people. {DA 107.1}
