(Selling Out The Word
- By R. Stamets)
Section 501(c)(3):
Declares that churches are TOTALLY
prohibited from participating in the political process. Below is the
actual wording from the 2002 IRS Guideline for churches & religious
organizations.
All section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches…are
absolutely
prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening
in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any
candidate for elective public office.
Other agreements that appear to be required are:
A minister can not express his views on a candidate’s position
in any
meeting sanctioned by the church.
If a church allows a candidate to speak, it must provide the
same
opportunity for the opposing candidate to speak.
It appears that even if a conversation occurs at an outside, but
church
sanctioned meeting (like a small group), and an opinion is given by the
small group leader… the law has been violated. |

Please go down to section 3.6 and click on the links there to see for
yourself. (3.6.2.1) Any religious
organization, including a church, must satisfy the statutory
requirements to be exempt under IRC 501(c)(3). (3.6.6.1)

requiring compliance with general laws designed to effectuate an
important governmental policy or objective even though compliance may
be contrary to an individual's sincerely-held religious beliefs. Full text version.
The
Church at Salem has been seized! March 24, 2005
On Thursday, March 24, 2005, Pastor William Raymond of The Church at
Salem, Salem, NJ, was arrested along with his wife during a meeting
with the Mayor, the city attorney, and the Sheriff. The church and
parsonage were seized by the Sheriff and State Police, acting under
orders of city officials and with the authorization of Superior Court
Judge Harold Johnson, Cumberland County, NJ. Pastor Raymond recounts,
"I asked Dave Puma (city lawyer) and Earl Gage (mayor) to please show
all of us in attendance the specific law, which supersedes their First
Amendment, authorizing them to compel us to incorporated. Lawyer Puma
told me, "well I don't have it with me here, but there is a law". . . .
the mayor told us that because
we would not incorporate, the
city could not consider us to be a church!" Read more details in
his diary entries.
IRS
Seized Indianapolis Church Property
The IRS audited approximately 60 of those who serve as ministers of the
church, and found that all had filed their own tax forms and paid all
taxes due, including the total amount of their FICA taxes. Therefore,
the taxes in question have already been paid. The IRS then sent half of
the FICA taxes back, saying that the church should have collected and
remitted them instead of the individuals who paid them. U.S. Attorney
Robert Mitzler admitted that IBT owes no taxes, if we would only file
for an exemption. This is a control issue, not a tax issue. If you are
a 501(c)(3) church, you are a part of the National World Council of
Churches.

The government, on the other hand, is telling Indianapolis Baptist

that they can worship God but they must first recognize that the Church
is
subject to governmental control.

three forms (economic, political and religious) are coming together
before our very eyes.

It is fascinating that the UN, the World Council of Churches and
Planned Parenthood preach the same "earth gospel" that places more
value on tigers and elephants than on humans.

The Truth About
Church Incorporation
[Note: In this article, the word "Church" does not refer to any
physical building, but refers to the whole body of believers in Christ.
The word "church" is translated from the Greek word ekklesia, which
literally means "assembly" or "congregation" of people; it does not
refer to any physical building. Keep that in mind when reading this
article]
