this man was the founder, and the one who gave birth to black pentecostalism that we all benefit from to this day. May God Bless the memories and legacy of Bishop Charles Harrison Mason. forever. he definately is the blessed and prosperous Godly man mentioned in Psalm 1.
Preach Bishop Mason. May you rest in peace. I love his style. And, I love being a part of the church of God in Christ. We need to bring back some of that old fashion preaching and teaching.
COGIC is the Greatest!!! I just wish some of these other Churches would stop HATING, i mean where ever you go they are there trying to argue that their church is right and were wrong! GOD gave Bishop Mason what to teach his ppl, and thats why COGIC doesn't go around trying to argue doctrine, we have a much greater work to do "winning souls for Christ", which we have been doing for 101 years!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
Bishop C.H. Mason was not concerned about money and he would always avoid fame. He was a true Holiness/Sanctified/Pentecostal man of God. That's what praying on your knees 8-10 hrs a day will do to you. Sometimes he would go a few days straight with just praying. Sometimes weeks straight. He was a praying man. A lot of ministries was birth out of his teachings and leadership like COGIC, Assemblies of God, and other Pentecostal or Holiness Pentecostal movements. A Powerful Spiritual Giant!!!
Bishop C H Mason, Was a Bible believing,sencere praying man of God,who told the body of christ that he had a vision of a long white train,and all that was on this train were all minister,Hell Bound - Wherefore seeing we also are compassed un with patienceabout with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrew (12:1) Walk By Faith a not by sight. Trust and obey the lord.
How Firm a Foundation!!! The COGIC has always taught the abundant life. We are a very prosperous people. I thank God for the teaching and growing up with COGIC Bishop FD Macklin and Bishop GE Patterson. I heard this type of teaching ALL of my life.
I trult thank God 4 our founder BISHOP CH MASON..He wood sing, preach, and pray in tounges..How many leaders do that today..All i can say and all im goin 2say it that COGIC is Gods church..He ordained it...God tol mason :if u use the name i give u the CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST i will use you and there will be noooo room for your gatherings...now u tell me...Till the very day ther is still no room for the CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST
True I don't even know why I gave that rumor a second though. It truly doesn't make since, Bishop was a firm believer in the Trinity and preach straight HOLINESS! God bless you
Bishop Mason was a Prophet of God such as Moses or Saint Paul. He worshiped the Lord in spirit and in truth. Which made him a son of God. Both Apostles lived and preached faith to God through Jesus Christ in their own way. Prophet Lawson was A Man of God!
he would be so disappointed in us if he saw how were acting as COGIC members. if we want to see another move in the church we like the ones bishop mason helped usher in we got to return our hearts back to God and these souls. and im a firm believer that we will get it together before God comes back.
I am COGIC and when I was overseas the Lord lead me to an Apostolic church where I was save and when I returned stateside the Lord told me to go back to my home church COGIC. So I know God has no respect of people nor church. As long as they are preaching the truth of the gospel. I wish Apostolic people could see this truth but they won’t. My Apostolic Pastor and my COGIC pastor got together with their wives and family and had dinner at my house with my family. They both declared that God was in them both and they had a good fellowship in Jesus.
@poo0115104 so true...born and rasied in COGIC.....I not a memeber any more. But thats my roots and i will tel the world that. But, iam very heartbroken of what it has become.
Jesus said that there could be no remission of sin except there be a shedding of blood..His blood. we spend more time trying to add 2 what Jesus had compleated on the cross that we miss the message of GRACE. That is why the Bible teaches the righteous scarsely make it in.
@sjohn331 If your house is falling apart, do you A. move out or B. repair..... Just because we are mot like we ought to be it dose not mean you should leave or even be ashamed of COGIC after all we have had great men and woman of God even some of the penticostal churches have came from COGIC.
WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT MASON AND LAWSON WERE VERY GOOD FREINDS!!!! THE LOVED EACH OTHER DEARLY and WOULD NOT WANT THEIR CHILDREN FIGHTING. They DIFFERED BUT THEY LOVED EACH OTHER.
Remember everyone Paul was right GREAT IS THE MYSTERY of GODLINESS! & sad to say everyone does not know the mystery except God reveal it to them by his Spirit. I can preach to YOU, the World & COGIC till im blue in the face. If the Lord Jesus doesnt reveal it to one, Its of none effect. Jesus is God & God's name is called Jesus & at this name every knee shall bow & every tongue shall confess that Jesus is LORD! MATT. 28:18 ALL POWER IS GIVNG UNTO ME WHETHER IN HEAVEN OR IN EARTH.
I think most full gospel preachers preach what the Apostels taught....I think it's most important for a preacher to teach the teaching of the FULL gospel which includes the words in Red..the teachings of Jesus Christ himself and the Apostles because they are in harmony with one another.
@TheWordOfGodSays If you can't prove that God didn't tell him to start the COGIC you should be careful that you don't find yourself speaking against the will of God. If you check your history you'll find that the church had really suffered a lost of ferverency and power throug out the period of time that the scriptures were trapped in latin by the Roman Catholic church for 1000 years. God was bringing things back to where he wanted them. And is still working!
To God Be The Glory. Let us continue to focus on the Power and Move of the Holy Ghost/Spirit. If we have fallen away, lets get back to the Basic not a name of an Organization/ Denomination, but the Truth. The Word of God. We dont have alot of time.
todums I hear you & I agree with you. This is not a contest nor is this a debate. We have here 2 great pioneers. Bishop Mason & Bishop Lawson. As you stated we beleive everything that R.C Lawson taught us was bible base. It just Good 2 learn about other org's & respect each other in fellowship. Lawson & Mason did this in the past. They agree to disagree. Matter Fact a lot of Oneness individuals did not like the fact that Lawson keep company with Mason! But Bishop Mason was a anointed man!
Yes, I agree.... 100%... I went to a church for a year. Called a Holiness church. Not a pentecostal church, a Nazerene church. Never once did i hear a sermon on Holiness, seperation, the Holy Ghost, (and thats not just being filled, i mean at all.) AND this is not a slam on the Nazerene church, if there are any Nazerenes reading, No offense, Please dont take any. But there are churches who say we r holiness that dont preach it nor the whole bible, even the letters in Red. Sincerely Yours......
i wasnt taking any side when i made my original comment. I only said that if a preacher is not preaching what peter and the apostles preached there is a problem. I dont know mason just that he is an old time preacher. We are buried with Jesus. His death is r, repentance. His burial is r, baptism. His resurrection is us being filled with the Holy Ghost. Sorry didnt reply back on ur comment you sent today, couldnt find it. God Bless, Sincerely.
dallaskenn I love Bishop Mason & Cogic. Their are some doctrinal issues that I have a problem with. But my main problem is the way some in the COGIC talk about Oneness believers as though we are heretics in the categories that you mentioned. Both are Pentecostal in its experience. One claims Apostolic roots & the the other so claim it. Both Lawson had their differences but kept fellowship on a holy level. To those that don't know its ironic how Mason & Lawson both died in 61 the same year.
What a shame he could not trust his followers to stay with him if he rvealed what God had opened his understanding to.Don't ever fear TRUTH! The lack of knowledge through rejection is what causes people to be destroyed. We the leaders are going to be held responsible for believing, receiving and then sharing truth with those who do not know it!
@poo0115104 I agree, for me, I was done when T.D. Jakes appeared at 2010 Convocation. The church is really moving away from where it started from when a oneness, word of faith, prosperity preacher is invited to speak. I could safely assume the fact that he was and obvious draw for people.
Doc! I'm trying to give them milk. As Paul said I fed them not with meat for they could not bear it. But you answer the question. Thats what I wanted 4saint to answer. But he danced around it. but thanks! he wouldn't have never got it. The Word.
Allow me to share info about R.C Lawson: My Father in the Gospel pg.44 Bishop Lawson was a great friend of Emperor Haile Selassie(founder of RastaFAR) who liked Lawson so much he gave Lawson a gold metal of high honor from the Emperor of Ethiopia. So friends is not the Issue. Its the 1ness message & revelation that many are afraid of: Scripture Acts 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people..that they speak henceforth to no man in this name(Jesus)which is The Father,Son,& Holy Ghost
@TheWordOfGodSays Jesus was God with us in his stay on earth, but The Holy Ghost is God in us and he speaks what he hears from above to us. Jesus is not dead, and he can still talk and does talk. People who have the Holy Ghost and are hearing him say what God is going to do, have the right to speak these things because they are authorized representatives of God. It's real and if the Holy Ghost doesn't go with you in your studying the scriptures there's much that you may misunderstand!
@poo0115104 We bless God for Bishop Mason. But Paul said let there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU!!!!! YOU CAN'T ORGANIZE (DENOMINATIONALIZE) THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!!
bornest1 I believe i will go with answer C. Becuz the next verse supports neither a,b, and only D in the since of choice C. And God made man in His image. their aint no two ways about a second person being there. However we can point to this and say. In Job doesnt God say I will stretch forth my hand and bring salvation to myself, but Jesus also reconsile the world unto him, that salvation is only through him. also how can all things be made through Jesus. well there is where john 1 and 1 comes
True and if individuals actually doing their homework on the Pentecostal Holiness revival of Azusa Street, although the name was the APOSTOLIC Faith Mission, Oneness Pentecostalism and the belief of the Baptism in Jesus' Name had not yet sprung until 1914 and that was after the doctrine (Trinitarian) of the 114 year old Church of God in Christ, Inc. was establish by Bishop Mason by the word of God. So how could he had been Baptized in Jesus' name and he already recieved the Trinitarian Baptism.
Question In Genesis 1:26. Who was God talking to when he said let us make man in our image, after our likeness a. The Angels b. the Trinity c. The Word (which was with God which is God) D. Himself And give me scripture for your answer. Im a school teacher. LOL!
My brothers beware of the spirit of Divisivness. God is not competitive. There is no way to demean the Work of Bishop Mason. He founded the COGIC, Assemblies of God, Church of Holiness, and other organizations that came out of the Azusa Street revival. Multitudes were healed and delivered for over 70 years by this mand of God Rev. Jesse JACKSON said that he was the first preacher he heard about as a child with a healing ministry. Rev J said people would hear about B Mason and get healed.
@jermainehaywood COGIC is pentecostal (glosolalia, praise, supernatural, sanctification-holiness-spirit baptism), the baptist tradition is just that, more traditional, and not pentecostal.
Hey brother... Jus notice that your questioned wasn't answered needless to say.. In that particular Scripture he was talking to; "The Word"... The pre-incarnate Jesus christ before taking fleshly form... He, "The Spoken Word".... Jesus
Both Mason and Lawson were seminarians, but the church Bishop Mason started grew towards the 7-14 million adherent mark; the church R.C. Lawson started comparatively can't make such a parallel claim. Sorry, the numbers and facts stand. As for Bishop Mason being baptised in "Jesus Name", we'll need some documented proof of record of this rumour we've been hearing since childhood. Could you unitarians please provide some documented evidence?
This is one of the mightiest men of god ever im glad to have seen this, also for those seeking a current healing, deliverance ministry search bishop eric farmer he has a prayer where he's calling out diseases and torments ppl have and loosing them thru the power of god
Apostolic saints like to debate. We know what we believe. They think they know what we believe but they don’t. Bishop Mason was a man after God’s own heart. A praying man more than I’ve seen among the Apostolic church. If he was wrong as close as he walked with God, don’t you think God would have told him? Yes he would have. Apostolic preach like they the only ones going to heaven and they are not.
God wrapped himself in a fleshly form and gave us the name Jesus... He was too much of God to be Man, And too much of Man to be God... He was the God/Man... Its like a power plug.. Inside the extension cord you'll sometimes find three wires wrapped in one to plug into the socket. The One chord plugged in produces power... Hope I was of some help..
I don't know how long this argument goes on for nor do I want to know, from the first page Bornest1 and Dallaskenn have been arguing about someone who obviously had a wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ, something the both of you are missing out on just to argue with one another GROW UP both of you GROW UP worry about your relationship with God work on being a witness for Christ and an example to those around you I cannot stress enough GROW UP!!!! Seek God for guidance and wisdom.
They are void of understanding because Jesus have many flocks that are from different fold and he will bring them into one fold with one shepherd. Stop arguing over baptism and just live a holy and separated life in this present world.
todums Why do people actlike when you ask them questions about there Faith they fill like they are being attack! It was 4saint that first attack me by saying Mason wrote a half of Page in his book about R.C Lawson so I responded by defending what I believe according to my faith! I just wanted to share other info about other Pentecostal Greats. COGIC acts like they have one of the Greastest Founders. So do we! I tried to share despite Mason/Lawson differences on doctrine that they were friends!
Question:So where is Jesus Now! Who is sitting on the throne? Who is God if there are three Persons Father Son, or Holy Ghost I need one of these as my God. Help me! I have three to pick from. I want one God, one Lord, and One Saviour. Let me help U. You can have all these in one God called Jesus Christ the Son of God (offspring of God) & God in Flesh. One God & Father of all(Jesus), who is above all(Jesus), and through all(Jesus and in you all(Jesus or the Spirit of Christ aka Holy Ghost).
You're right, and Jesus did not intend Matt. 28:19 to be a baptismal "formula" either. "Baptismal formulas" are an invention of the Catholic church. However, the Bible does demonstrate that the name of Jesus was invoked in baptism (Acts 22:16), but not as some sort of "formula." This is why the Christological wording varies throughout the book of Acts (2:38, 8:16, 19:5, 22:16). God's focus is not the right set of words; it is, and has always been, faith in the One whose name is being invoked.
Matt. 28:19 certainly is right, and it doesn't describe a baptismal "formula" any more than Acts 2:38 does. If it did, then we'd have an account of what was said during the baptismal accounts in the book of Acts, but we don't. That's because a "baptismal formula" isn't biblical. It is a Catholic invention and is more akin to magic than the biblical concepts associated with baptism like faith and confession. I pray the Lord will open your eyes to this great truth.
georgiafatrue I agree, it's about what Jesus Christ said while he walked the earth. There is no error or contradiction in the Apostles and Jesus teachings. Peter never said that Acts 2:38 was the formula for Salvation. He says repent and baptized, everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. He did not say when you baptize people and they go down in the water say the name Jesus Christ. Big misinterpretation of scripture.
todums It says Go ye therefore, and teach all nations baptizing them in the name (singular Jesus Christ, not names or titles) of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Acts 4:12 Says neither is there salvation in any other (not Father,Son, HolyGhost) for there is none other name(Jesus) given under heaven, whereby we must be saved. This name is the Lord Jesus Christ. I read it and I get this>Jesus my Lord and Saviour What do you get?
1st Dude I dont fight with little Kids and fighting is not might concern Theology is. Very Not Christ- Like! But I can pick them up and put them down anytime. PLEASE! I come from FightTown.(AKA LEAN ON ME!) Stay in a Child's Place and keep it Holy. For Paul said when I was a child I spoke as a Child and thought as a Child and understood as a Child. I teach children I dont Fight then. Nonsense! But again respect to Bishop Mason and Bishop Lawson. And Stay real to Christ! PEACE!
As a proud C.O.G.I.C. member I find it disheartening to hear "Christians" say "what the Church of God in Christ has become", Ex:23:1: Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. I implore you to read your bible and do some soul searching of your own organization. If you look long enough and hard enough you'll find that noone is perfect and the actions of a few does not represent the whole!!!!
I don't know what you are talking about R U saying Mason didn't preach the Bible? What does baptism have to do with salvation and a change of ones heart? The gospel has nothing to do with baptism or holiness. The gospel is the life, death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his unconditional love for humanity if we believe in Him. Afterward the Holy Spirit does the sanctifying work and aids the believer to walk in power. Baptism is simply the old man going down and the new man coming up
You really need to be delivered from that type of spirit and get in your Bible. Jesus prayer was that we would be one, what have you been reading? His followers lived and died for that Name! If the Bible says there is no other Name, whereby we MUST be saved, why you hating on folks that believe in His Name for Salvation?
Are you inferring that Bishop Patterson wasn't anointed? You're waaaaaaayyyyy off about that. Bishop Charles Harrison Mason is one of the greatest spiritual giants of the 20th century, and this is coming from someone with roots in COOLJC.
4saint How do you know? And all because Mason called it anti-christ does not make it right and scriptural. I gave you 5 scriptures to your one and this did not come from Lawson but from revelation from the Holy Spirit and his Word. Jesus only is what the Apostles taught . By the way I want to get this Book by Bishop Mason and I recommend you check out books from Bishop Lawson and Bishop G T Hayward. Paul siad other Foundation can no man lay which has already been laid.
Forever Thats your opinion! I have no problem with that. But something against truth! I have a problem with. Now Truth. Bishop Lawson would blow Bishop Mason out the Water with Bible anytime of day. I cant wait to get my hands on In the Defense of the Gospel, by Bishop R.C. Lawson. Lawson Theology was on point and according to the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles. Mason prayer Life was powerful. But Preaching he gets a C- or D+. Listen to the Two. Lawson gets the W. PEACE!
No, you should actually study your Bible for a doctrinal understanding of the trinity which is what Bishop Mason affirmed. No one is hating on anybody that believes in His name for salvation, but when someone who denies the trinity on the low is allowed to speak at our convocation, I have issues with that. Since were issuing directives you really need to be delivered from a Spirit of error and deceit.
Who said anything about the church being built on Peter? And if Peter wasn't talking about pronouncing Jesus' name, what makes you think Jesus was talking about pronouncing anything in Matt. 28:19? Both Peter and Jesus were referring to authority, not a verbal formula. Baptismal formula isn't a biblical concept, it's an invention of the Catholic church and has more in common with magic and witchcraft then genuine Christianity. God isn't hung up on a precise wording like man is.
Does it matter what denomination one is. The fact of the matter is, if you got a preacher that aint preaching what Peter and the other Apostles preached, you Got problems,,,,,, my opinion, not that it is worth much.
So you're saying that the Bible contradicts itself? You believe that Peter was blatantly disobeying Jesus in Acts 2:38? This position of yours is very, very dangerous as it concerns the harmony of scripture. Then we can just pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe if they SEEM to be contradictory. Jesus and Peter did not contradict each other. Neither verse constitutes a "formula." That's man-made doctrine.
cont. But the Bible says if we deny or believe not that Jesus is he. You have not the Father also. So Mason was mixed up. This Father(Jehovah) had a name, not yet reveal unto the appointed time. Jesus, the Son in redemption the 2nd manifestation of the one God. Question if Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost & there are 3 persons coequal. Who is Jesus Father? The Father or Holy Ghost? Or is the Father, Son, & Holy ghost the same Person. dont think 2 hard. maybe u should read Col 2:9. LOL!
there are three manifestations not three persons. I am a father, a son,and have a spirit. but Im one person. Im not three persons but one. Just as God is One read Deut. 6:4
Well... I actually thing you have got it wrong. I was never saying anything personal about the rev. mason. And if i did launch a personal attack on him.SHOW ME where i said it. WHAT I WAS saying was this. If you got a preacher that aint preaching what the apostles preached, there is a problem. Why cnt preachers preach the bible. why do they feel the need to preach baptism differently than peter or holiness than paul why cant preachers just let the bible be their guideline and thats it.
I no cogic has the best preacher in the world no oness preacher can touch the cogic. God the Father has keep us on the truth of his holy word.
this man was the founder, and the one who gave birth to black pentecostalism that we all benefit from to this day. May God Bless the memories and legacy of Bishop Charles Harrison Mason. forever. he definately is the blessed and prosperous Godly man mentioned in Psalm 1.
thats the truth. I thank God for him and his teachings...
Preach Bishop Mason. May you rest in peace. I love his style. And, I love being a part of the church of God in Christ. We need to bring back some of that old fashion preaching and teaching.
Let's keep the "Yes Lord" ringing in our hearts no matter what our denomination may be. Now tell the Lord Yes!
he was a damn root worker. and he was a witch doctor.
+assmithful My focus is more on saying Yes to the Lord and worrying less about about a man. Peace and Blessings.
COGIC is the Greatest!!! I just wish some of these other Churches would stop HATING, i mean where ever you go they are there trying to argue that their church is right and were wrong! GOD gave Bishop Mason what to teach his ppl, and thats why COGIC doesn't go around trying to argue doctrine, we have a much greater work to do "winning souls for Christ", which we have been doing for 101 years!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
Obeying God makes a lot of sense.
Bishop C.H. Mason was not concerned about money and he would always avoid fame. He was a true Holiness/Sanctified/Pentecostal man of God. That's what praying on your knees 8-10 hrs a day will do to you. Sometimes he would go a few days straight with just praying. Sometimes weeks straight. He was a praying man.

How Firm a Foundation!!! The COGIC has always taught the abundant life. We are a very prosperous people. I thank God for the teaching and growing up with COGIC Bishop FD Macklin and Bishop GE Patterson. I heard this type of teaching ALL of my life.
this is a rare thing to hear the founder of the Church of God In Christ.
Bishop/Prophet C.H. Mason flowing in the prophetic...
Thi sis some valuable audio
This is my first time ever hearing him speak. This is a gem that you have found.
Thank God for the Apostolic Doctrine! Jesus taught them and they left it on record for us. How shall we escape if we neglet so great salvation?
I trult thank God 4 our founder BISHOP CH MASON..He wood sing, preach, and pray in tounges..How many leaders do that today..All i can say and all im goin 2say it that COGIC is Gods church..He ordained it...God tol mason :if u use the name i give u the CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST i will use you and there will be noooo room for your gatherings...now u tell me...Till the very day ther is still no room for the CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST
True I don't even know why I gave that rumor a second though. It truly doesn't make since, Bishop was a firm believer in the Trinity and preach straight HOLINESS! God bless you
I Most certainly will pray. I am talking about those in COOLJC
@antical79
Yes, your right the issue is with authority not a formula.
Bishop Mason was a Prophet of God such as Moses or Saint Paul. He worshiped the Lord in spirit and in truth. Which made him a son of God. Both Apostles lived and preached faith to God through Jesus Christ in their own way.
Prophet Lawson was A Man of God!
he would be so disappointed in us if he saw how were acting as COGIC members. if we want to see another move in the church we like the ones bishop mason helped usher in we got to return our hearts back to God and these souls. and im a firm believer that we will get it together before God comes back.
Let the Church say, AMEN!
Well am cogic i was Baptize in Jesus name.Cogic is the best.
I am COGIC and when I was overseas the Lord lead me to an Apostolic church where I was save and when I returned stateside the Lord told me to go back to my home church COGIC. So I know God has no respect of people nor church. As long as they are preaching the truth of the gospel. I wish Apostolic people could see this truth but they won’t. My Apostolic Pastor and my COGIC pastor got together with their wives and family and had dinner at my house with my family.

Awesome historical recording! Thanks for posting this.
If you Have more of these videos keep posting them.
bless this pioneer!
oh yea wouldnt miss it for the world LOL! this would be my 18th year
does anybody have any video of Bishop J.D. Husband?
If you have any could you post them?
Thanks!
@poo0115104 so true...born and rasied in COGIC.....I not a memeber any more. But thats my roots and i will tel the world that. But, iam very heartbroken of what it has become.
Bishop Mason preached the unadultered word of God
Jesus said that there could be no remission of sin except there be a shedding of blood..His blood. we spend more time trying to add 2 what Jesus had compleated on the cross that we miss the message of GRACE. That is why the Bible teaches the righteous scarsely make it in.
@sjohn331 If your house is falling apart, do you A. move out or B. repair..... Just because we are mot like we ought to be it dose not mean you should leave or even be ashamed of COGIC after all we have had great men and woman of God even some of the penticostal churches have came from COGIC.
check out another Pentecostal Founder Bishop R.C Lawson one of Mason friends
Exactly!! I agree.
WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT MASON AND LAWSON WERE VERY GOOD FREINDS!!!! THE LOVED EACH OTHER DEARLY and WOULD NOT WANT THEIR CHILDREN FIGHTING. They DIFFERED BUT THEY LOVED EACH OTHER.
Amen!
Remember everyone Paul was right GREAT IS THE MYSTERY of GODLINESS! & sad to say everyone does not know the mystery except God reveal it to them by his Spirit. I can preach to YOU, the World & COGIC till im blue in the face. If the Lord Jesus doesnt reveal it to one, Its of none effect. Jesus is God &
God's name is called Jesus & at this name every knee shall bow & every tongue shall confess that Jesus is LORD! MATT. 28:18 ALL POWER IS GIVNG UNTO ME WHETHER IN HEAVEN OR IN EARTH.

YES LORD!!! at 0:51 #PureHoliness
@brown547 Yeah, my flesh crawled when Jakes and Noel Jones appeared at the convocation too.
True.
To God Be The Glory. Let us continue to focus on the Power and Move of the Holy Ghost/Spirit. If we have fallen away, lets get back to the Basic not a name of an Organization/ Denomination, but the Truth. The Word of God. We dont have alot of time.

I hear you & I agree with you. This is not a contest nor is this a debate. We have here 2 great pioneers. Bishop Mason & Bishop Lawson. As you stated we beleive everything that R.C Lawson taught us was bible base.

@poo0115104
I agree, for me, I was done when T.D. Jakes appeared at 2010 Convocation. The church is really moving away from where it started from when a oneness, word of faith, prosperity preacher is invited to speak. I could safely assume the fact that he was and obvious draw for people.
Agree.
Doc! I'm trying to give them milk. As Paul said I fed them not with meat for they could not bear it. But you answer the question. Thats what I wanted 4saint to answer. But he danced around it. but thanks! he wouldn't have never got it. The Word.
well this is just one service,can't judge da man off one service.
Allow me to share info about R.C Lawson: My Father in the Gospel pg.44 Bishop Lawson was a great friend of Emperor Haile Selassie(founder of RastaFAR) who liked Lawson so much he gave Lawson a gold metal of high honor from the Emperor of Ethiopia. So friends is not the Issue. Its the 1ness message & revelation that many are afraid of: Scripture Acts 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people..that they speak henceforth to no man in this name(Jesus)which is The Father,Son,& Holy Ghost
@TheWordOfGodSays Jesus was God with us in his stay on earth, but The Holy Ghost is God in us and he speaks what he hears from above to us. Jesus is not dead, and he can still talk and does talk. People who have the Holy Ghost and are hearing him say what God is going to do, have the right to speak these things because they are authorized representatives of God. It's real and if the Holy Ghost doesn't go with you in your studying the scriptures there's much that you may misunderstand!
@poo0115104 We bless God for Bishop Mason. But Paul said let there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU!!!!! YOU CAN'T ORGANIZE (DENOMINATIONALIZE) THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!!
Most certainly will. They think they are the only ones who are right and are sadly mistaken. They are in the deepest of error.
he was known for "singing in the spirit"...I think that was one of those songs.
What are u talking about when u say u were talking about the COOLJC? What was said? That is Bishop William L. Bonner's organization.
bornest1 I believe i will go with answer C. Becuz the next verse supports neither a,b, and only D in the since of choice C. And God made man in His image. their aint no two ways about a second person being there. However we can point to this and say. In Job doesnt God say I will stretch forth my hand and bring salvation to myself, but Jesus also reconsile the world unto him, that salvation is only through him. also how can all things be made through Jesus. well there is where john 1 and 1 comes
True and if individuals actually doing their homework on the Pentecostal Holiness revival of Azusa Street, although the name was the APOSTOLIC Faith Mission, Oneness Pentecostalism and the belief of the Baptism in Jesus' Name had not yet sprung until 1914 and that was after the doctrine (Trinitarian) of the 114 year old Church of God in Christ, Inc. was establish by Bishop Mason by the word of God. So how could he had been Baptized in Jesus' name and he already recieved the Trinitarian Baptism.
Question In Genesis 1:26. Who was God talking to when he said let us make man in our image, after our likeness
a. The Angels
b. the Trinity
c. The Word (which was with God which is God)
D. Himself
And give me scripture for your answer.
Im a school teacher. LOL!
My brothers beware of the spirit of Divisivness. God is not competitive. There is no way to demean the Work of Bishop Mason. He founded the COGIC, Assemblies of God, Church of Holiness, and other organizations that came out of the Azusa Street revival. Multitudes were healed and delivered for over 70 years by this mand of God Rev. Jesse JACKSON said that he was the first preacher he heard about as a child with a healing ministry. Rev J said people would hear about B Mason and get healed.
@jermainehaywood COGIC is pentecostal (glosolalia, praise, supernatural, sanctification-holiness-spirit baptism), the baptist tradition is just that, more traditional, and not pentecostal.
THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST!!
Hey brother... Jus notice that your questioned wasn't answered needless to say.. In that particular Scripture he was talking to; "The Word"... The pre-incarnate Jesus christ before taking fleshly form... He, "The Spoken Word".... Jesus
Both Mason and Lawson were seminarians, but the church Bishop Mason started grew towards the 7-14 million adherent mark; the church R.C. Lawson started comparatively can't make such a parallel claim. Sorry, the numbers and facts stand. As for Bishop Mason being baptised in "Jesus Name", we'll need some documented proof of record of this rumour we've been hearing since childhood. Could you unitarians please provide some documented evidence?
PRAISE GOD!!!
@mrtheoneandonly83 TRUE....maybe oneday.....I'm a member od Church of GOD now. As you can see I did not go to far from my roots. LOL
That’s GREAT!!!
This is one of the mightiest men of god ever im glad to have seen this, also for those seeking a current healing, deliverance ministry search bishop eric farmer he has a prayer where he's calling out diseases and torments ppl have and loosing them thru the power of god
We need that now!!!
Apostolic saints like to debate. We know what we believe. They think they know what we believe but they don’t. Bishop Mason was a man after God’s own heart. A praying man more than I’ve seen among the Apostolic church. If he was wrong as close as he walked with God, don’t you think God would have told him? Yes he would have. Apostolic preach like they the only ones going to heaven and they are not.
God wrapped himself in a fleshly form and gave us the name Jesus... He was too much of God to be Man, And too much of Man to be God... He was the God/Man... Its like a power plug.. Inside the extension cord you'll sometimes find three wires wrapped in one to plug into the socket. The One chord plugged in produces power... Hope I was of some help..
Thank God somebody know something around here ugh! I thought I was singled out LOL...smh.
I don't know how long this argument goes on for nor do I want to know, from the first page Bornest1 and Dallaskenn have been arguing about someone who obviously had a wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ, something the both of you are missing out on just to argue with one another GROW UP both of you GROW UP worry about your relationship with God work on being a witness for Christ and an example to those around you I cannot stress enough GROW UP!!!! Seek God for guidance and wisdom.
They are void of understanding because Jesus have many flocks that are from different fold and he will bring them into one fold with one shepherd. Stop arguing over baptism and just live a holy and separated life in this present world.
todums
Why do people actlike when you ask them questions about there Faith they fill like they are being attack! It was 4saint that first attack me by saying Mason wrote a half of Page in his book about R.C Lawson so I responded by defending what I believe according to my faith! I just wanted to share other info about other Pentecostal Greats. COGIC acts like they have one of the Greastest Founders. So do we! I tried to share despite Mason/Lawson differences on doctrine that they were friends!
Question:So where is Jesus Now!
Who is sitting on the throne?
Who is God if there are three Persons
Father Son, or Holy Ghost I need one of these as my God. Help me! I have three to pick from.
I want one God, one Lord, and One Saviour. Let me help U. You can have all these in one God called Jesus Christ the Son of God (offspring of God) & God in Flesh. One God & Father of all(Jesus), who is above all(Jesus), and through all(Jesus and in you all(Jesus or the Spirit of Christ aka Holy Ghost).
You're right, and Jesus did not intend Matt. 28:19 to be a baptismal "formula" either. "Baptismal formulas" are an invention of the Catholic church. However, the Bible does demonstrate that the name of Jesus was invoked in baptism (Acts 22:16), but not as some sort of "formula." This is why the Christological wording varies throughout the book of Acts (2:38, 8:16, 19:5, 22:16). God's focus is not the right set of words; it is, and has always been, faith in the One whose name is being invoked.
Matt. 28:19 certainly is right, and it doesn't describe a baptismal "formula" any more than Acts 2:38 does. If it did, then we'd have an account of what was said during the baptismal accounts in the book of Acts, but we don't. That's because a "baptismal formula" isn't biblical. It is a Catholic invention and is more akin to magic than the biblical concepts associated with baptism like faith and confession. I pray the Lord will open your eyes to this great truth.
The Church of God In Christ will last a thousand(1000) years and then some. It's detractors will simply have to deal with it.
georgiafatrue I agree, it's about what Jesus Christ said while he walked the earth. There is no error or contradiction in the Apostles and Jesus teachings. Peter never said that Acts 2:38 was the formula for Salvation. He says repent and baptized, everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. He did not say when you baptize people and they go down in the water say the name Jesus Christ. Big misinterpretation of scripture.
You still didn't answer my question on Genesis1:26. Who is God talking to?
1.Angels
2.Jesus Christ
3.The Trinity
4. The Word
5. All of thee above
amen
THATS RIGHT.Teach Them... Father, Son, Holyghost are juts titles...but the true name of those "titles" Are JESUS....
todums
It says Go ye therefore, and teach all nations baptizing them in the name (singular
Jesus Christ, not names or titles) of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Acts 4:12 Says neither is there salvation in any other (not Father,Son, HolyGhost) for there is none other name(Jesus) given under heaven, whereby we must be saved. This name is the Lord Jesus Christ. I read it and I get this>Jesus my Lord and Saviour What do you get?
What's your problem, Bro? Bishop C. H. Mason was one of the great Black Men of world history!
God gave Bishop Mason COGIC. I know what it was then, but I don’t know what it is now.
19 once
1st Dude I dont fight with little Kids and fighting is not might concern Theology is. Very Not Christ- Like! But I can pick them up and put them down anytime. PLEASE! I come from FightTown.(AKA LEAN ON ME!) Stay in a Child's Place and keep it Holy. For Paul said when I was a child I spoke as a Child and thought as a Child and understood as a Child. I teach children I dont Fight then. Nonsense! But again respect to Bishop Mason and Bishop Lawson. And Stay real to Christ! PEACE!
As a proud C.O.G.I.C. member I find it disheartening to hear "Christians" say "what the Church of God in Christ has become", Ex:23:1: Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. I implore you to read your bible and do some soul searching of your own organization. If you look long enough and hard enough you'll find that noone is perfect and the actions of a few does not represent the whole!!!!
I don't know what you are talking about R U saying Mason didn't preach the Bible? What does baptism have to do with salvation and a change of ones heart? The gospel has nothing to do with baptism or holiness. The gospel is the life, death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his unconditional love for humanity if we believe in Him. Afterward the Holy Spirit does the sanctifying work and aids the believer to walk in power. Baptism is simply the old man going down and the new man coming up
You really need to be delivered from that type of spirit and get in your Bible. Jesus prayer was that we would be one, what have you been reading? His followers lived and died for that Name! If the Bible says there is no other Name, whereby we MUST be saved, why you hating on folks that believe in His Name for Salvation?
Are you inferring that Bishop Patterson wasn't anointed? You're waaaaaaayyyyy off about that. Bishop Charles Harrison Mason is one of the greatest spiritual giants of the 20th century, and this is coming from someone with roots in COOLJC.
4saint
How do you know? And all because Mason called it anti-christ does not make it right and scriptural. I gave you 5 scriptures to your one and this did not come from Lawson but from revelation from the Holy Spirit and his Word. Jesus only is what the Apostles taught . By the way I want to get this Book by Bishop Mason and I recommend you check out books from Bishop Lawson and Bishop G T Hayward. Paul siad other Foundation can no man lay which has already been laid.
Forever
Thats your opinion! I have no problem with that. But something against truth! I have a problem with. Now Truth. Bishop Lawson would blow Bishop Mason out the Water with Bible anytime of day. I cant wait to get my hands on In the Defense of the Gospel, by Bishop R.C. Lawson. Lawson Theology was on point and according to the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles. Mason prayer Life was powerful. But Preaching he gets a C- or D+. Listen to the Two. Lawson gets the W. PEACE!
No, you should actually study your Bible for a doctrinal understanding of the trinity which is what Bishop Mason affirmed. No one is hating on anybody that believes in His name for salvation, but when someone who denies the trinity on the low is allowed to speak at our convocation, I have issues with that. Since were issuing directives you really need to be delivered from a Spirit of error and deceit.
Who said anything about the church being built on Peter? And if Peter wasn't talking about pronouncing Jesus' name, what makes you think Jesus was talking about pronouncing anything in Matt. 28:19? Both Peter and Jesus were referring to authority, not a verbal formula. Baptismal formula isn't a biblical concept, it's an invention of the Catholic church and has more in common with magic and witchcraft then genuine Christianity. God isn't hung up on a precise wording like man is.
they have dad mason hm gin on audio
Does it matter what denomination one is. The fact of the matter is, if you got a preacher that aint preaching what Peter and the other Apostles preached, you Got problems,,,,,, my opinion, not that it is worth much.
So you're saying that the Bible contradicts itself? You believe that Peter was blatantly disobeying Jesus in Acts 2:38? This position of yours is very, very dangerous as it concerns the harmony of scripture. Then we can just pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe if they SEEM to be contradictory. Jesus and Peter did not contradict each other. Neither verse constitutes a "formula." That's man-made doctrine.
cont.
But the Bible says if we deny or believe not that Jesus is he. You have not the Father also. So Mason was mixed up. This Father(Jehovah) had a name, not yet reveal unto the appointed time. Jesus, the Son in redemption the 2nd manifestation of the one God. Question if Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost & there are 3 persons coequal. Who is Jesus Father? The Father or Holy Ghost? Or is the Father, Son, & Holy ghost the same Person. dont think 2 hard. maybe u should read Col 2:9. LOL!
@tomhagin Whew, I smell a "too-deep-for-the-room" apostolic up in here, up in here!
there are three manifestations not three persons. I am a father, a son,and have a spirit. but Im one person. Im not three persons but one. Just as God is One read Deut. 6:4
Well... I actually thing you have got it wrong. I was never saying anything personal about the rev. mason. And if i did launch a personal attack on him.SHOW ME where i said it. WHAT I WAS saying was this. If you got a preacher that aint preaching what the apostles preached, there is a problem. Why cnt preachers preach the bible. why do they feel the need to preach baptism differently than peter or holiness than paul why cant preachers just let the bible be their guideline and thats it.
