Dear Brother Alasdair,

I knew I had the call of God on my life, and finally 'giving in' I attended Full Gospel Bible Institute, which had become an Independant Assembly of God Church over their diagreement on eschatology. In all my studies, I got a A+ on every book ecxept fo the Book of Revelation, where their stand was opposed to the AoG stand and my answer was "I see too many scriptures both pro and con on this subject, so I remain open minded on it." I got an A on that and it was the only one I got less than an A+ on.

After founding a Church and teaching what I had learned in the Bible College, my relationship with the Father grew to a point that He revealed to me that MUCH of what I had been taught was false doctrine. The closer I become 'one' with our Father, through the Holy Spirit and because of the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the more I see there is no denomination that has ALL the truth of doctrine, and even if they did, they still would need divine love or it would not count.

Then I read:
1 Corinthians 13: (NLT)
"2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing." And God teaches me the difference between humanistic and divine love. Divine love is NOT wishy-washy, and because of His love He disciplines us, sometimes to the point of what seem like cruelty. The more humble we become by being disciplined by Him, the more He demands of us. ("To whom much is given, much will be required." Luke 12:48)

I was taught that Rikism is a cult, so I shy away from it and it's teaching, and take a firm stand against it. Well, now I have met you, a Riki Master, and see your love for God and your fellow Christians, I see that even if it is a cult, there is one Master who has mastered joining them as one and take something that is supposed to be a No-No and can glorify God even in the midst of it.
God bless you!
