Billy Bob And Debate Billy Bob Bookme
All Truth Church
Where I Am, USA

Brothers and sisters I wish to inform you of the big debate we just had at the All Truth Church. Brother Right debated brother Liberal on the communion. As you know brother Right stands for one cup and no Sunday School and brother Liberal stands for cups and classes. Brother Right presented the one cup position and pointed out that cups are not taught in the Bible and therefore to use them is sin. He also pointed out that those who use cups in communion are "digressive." Brother Liberal got up and looked at brother Right and said, "so I�m a "digressive" because I believe in using cups in communion even though they are not taught in the Bible!" He went on to say, "brother Right it has been brought to my attention that you "one cup" folks also have a practice not taught in the Bible." One of your own preachers has mentioned your practice of "another form of church government other than that taught in the New Testament." It appears you all sponsor preachers in Africa but they are controlled from the American churches. These African preachers which are controlled from America are to control the members which are under them. Brother Right this is no more than a form of church government which is larger than and different from the local church government taught in the Bible. In fact brother Right what you actually have is a pattern of church control and church government that is exactly like what Kip McKean practices in his Boston Movement. Brother Right you mentioned in your debate that, "we who use cups borrowed them from the denominations." Well may I add, those of you who support, defend and encourage the American control of the African churches have borrowed your practice from the Boston Movement and Kip McKean. "Now then," said brother Liberal, who is the real digressive? Brother Liberal looked at the audience and said, "folks it is clear that brother Right and his brethren are the real digressives here tonight." "Brother Right is all concerned about one cup but he�s not the least bit concerned about a violation of church autonomy and church government as given by the Lord." Then brother Liberal looked straight at brother Right and said, "now who�s the real digressive?"

It was then time for brother Right to defend himself and his movement. He mounted the pulpit, fixed his eyes squarely upon brother Liberal. It became so quiet in the house you could have heard a pin drop. You could feel there was great anticipation at what would be the reply of brother Right. The moment was very tense! Brother Right with his face fixed firmly upon brother Liberal said, "SO WHAT�S YOUR POINT?"
