I just retired from law enforcement but I have also Pastored a Spirit Filled Church on Long Island since 1996. Are there any English speaking Full Gospel Churches in Vilcabamba? If not, would anyone like to start one?

I wonder if Vilcabamba is big enough to have much variety in churches.

It is a shame that Christians cannot worship together, that they spend time arguing petty differences when they all agree on the basics.

Then someone needs to start one. Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, THERE AM I IN THE MIDST OF THEM." We are still not certain when we will be arriving in Vilcabamba as we have allot of things to take care of before leaving New York. If anyone wants to meet for worship, prayer, and whole gospel teaching and preaching please contact me. My email is truegospelofyeshua@yahoo.com

I agree that it is a shame that all who profess Christ cannot come together as one body of believers. The real problem is that many are preaching "diverse and strange doctrines" that the apostle called, "doctrines of demons." "If any man preach another gospel, let him be accursed (Galatians 1:7-8)." Therefore all true Christians must "continue steadfastly in the apostles doctrine" (Acts 2:42) alone without adding foreign teachings to the word of God.
It is very sad that the RCC changed the original gospel by developing unscriptural dogmas such as Papal Infallibility and Mariology. There is no record of anyone praying to Mary until the late fourth century and it was not until the Council of Ephesus in 420 AD that prayers to Mary were officially included in Catholic dogma. Therefore I say, let us return to the original Catholic (Universal) Church that was founded by the original apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible.

The holy rollers in these parts claim that anyone who takes communion will burn in hell.  I tend to ignore them.

@SteveRitchie

So you're going to Villacamba with the specific intent of starting a religious assault??


I hope they deny your visa.
Do the world a favor and stay home.

My Bible tells me that only God is our judge so no one should be judging others to hell. For "all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God." Therefore Christ's true servants must share the whole gospel by citing the words of holy scripture and by sharing that word of truth in love. For Christ came not to condemn the world but he came that the world might be saved through faith in his precious blood that was shed for all of mankind. Grace and peace to you!
