Open Response Regarding Attacks and Slander
For those of you that have arrived at a place of concern or simply grave disappointment at recent attacks against me and a host of other proven men and women of God, we are very sorrowful regarding the actions of survivors we formerly affiliated with. At BRIDE Ministries, we are committed to creating a safe place for survivors and to maintaining a posture of love. We fundamentally disagree with the conclusions of those that have engaged in accusation and slander against us. The efforts at character assassination of men and women of God are unfortunate. We continue support and endorse Dr. Preston Bailey, Dr. Rob Ruckert, and the staff and volunteers that we have been blessed with. In response to some of the more blatant accusations, we at BRIDE Ministries do not teach or endorse astral projection or the occult technique of the invasion of dreams. We do believe that there is a ministry to the human spirit because God made us spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). We also believe that the Bible says the Lord has courts according to Psalm 100:4, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." The redemptive gifts that have been denounced as error are clearly articulated in Romans 12:6-8. All accusations regarding the "shining ones” or "manifest sons of God” are unfounded. As of this date we have no public teaching on either of these subjects, neither have we arrived at a place of doctrinal agreement as to what we as a ministry believe on these subjects. As a cutting edge ministry, we find ourselves wrestling through a number of tough subjects that are brought up in the course of DID coaching. These are two of many debated subjects that have come up in the course of private conversations and ministry sessions. We work hard to test everything with the help of the Holy Spirit and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). We will continue to hold up those that attack us in prayer and hope that you do the same. Blessings!
