Address

By James C. Pack

“THE WORK OF THE LORD”

To the messengers, officers, and visitors of the California Coopera-

tive Association of Missionary Baptist Churches: Greetings in the Precious

name of Jesus Christ.

Once again this past year, you, the messengers of the churches, honored

me by electing me as your moderator for a second year. Truly this position

is one of honor. I trust that you have not or will not be, too greatly disap-

pointed with the manner in which the work and meeting have been, and are

being directed.

These past two years have been years of blessings, honor, work, and de-

velopment in my personal life; I have learned to have more respect and

admiration for those who serve in places of leadership in the associated

work. Truly the position of Moderator is one of service, and no service can

be rendered without work. So. thank you for permitting me to serve in this

honored place of service.

I would like to express my appreciation to the elected and nonelected

servants of this messenger body for your work, cooperation, and encour-

agement and directions. Without your cooperation the progress would have

been much slower.

In the past year many changes have taken place in home, nations, re-

ligious circles, and even among the churches of the Lord. Some of these

changes have been constructive while others have been destructive. Some

homes have been hindered and practically destroyed by the workings of Sa-

tan, but the home as an institution still stands by the power of God. Nations

have continued to rise against nation in war, but God had not lost control.

Religion has continued to go farther and farther away from God, but God

knows what is happening and continues to be in full control. Protestantism

continues to be involved in pretense Christianity; the universalists are con-

tinuing to peddle their ungodly doctrines; the New-Lighters are continuing

to disrupt the fellowship of New Testament churches; the five-point Calvin-

ists

Moderator’s Address/Page 6

continue to be a thorn in the side of genuine churches; Hardshellism, either

in doctrine or practice, continues to hinder the work of the Lord, but let us

ever remember that, “God is not the author of confusion”. Let us also be-

ware that “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump”.

I have chosen I Corinthians 16:9 as a Scripture text for this occasion,

“For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adver-

saries”. From this scripture I have chosen the subject; the Work of the Lord.

As a theme for the brief

development of the subject I have chosen the words, Great Door, Effectual,

and Adversaries.

I Corinthians 16:1-8 gives the context of the writing. In these scriptures,

among the many things mentioned, Paul gives the reason for his remaining

at Ephesus until Pentecost. The primary reason was that a great door had

been opened unto him. Paul did step through that door as he followed the

leadership of the Spirit. As God opens doors for His churches and individual

members of those churches, may we by the Grace of God, and the leadership

of the Spirit step through those doors by faith.

First we will consider doors of Service.

There is a God-given opportunity for each of us to be steadfast, unmove-

able, but always abounding in the work of the Lord in His New Testament

Church as we see the day nearing His return (I Cor. 15:58). Opportunities

for personal soul winning have never been greater in the local church (Mark

16:15, Acts 1:8). Opportunitiesto identify with one particular calling in the

Lord’s Church has never been greater (I Peter 4:10-11). The challenge to

develop those added to the church by the Lord is as great now as ever before

(Matthew 28:20). The need to perfect people for glorification with Christ is

one of the greatest challenges we face, as churches of the Lord (Colossians

3:1-4, II Thessalonians 1:10).

Yes, great are the doors for service. There are great opportunities for

mission work. The most precious thing to the heart of God is mission work,

as recorded in Matthew 9:35-38. The more involved in missions, the more

the churches open up so as to permit God to supply their needs (Matthew

6:33; Luke 6:38, Philippians 4:19). Let us look on the fields that are white

unto harvest, let us look to rural and metropolitan areas. Let us pray to the

Lord of the harvest that He will thrust out more laborers into His vineyard.

In San Francisco there are 754,000 people, with no work which we acknowl-

edge; in Oakland, 384,000, one mission doing a tremendous job. Yes, truly

many are the opportunities for mission work: Will we meet the challenge or

will we try to evade the issue?

There are great doors opened in Christian Schools; no longer is evolution

taught as a theory, but as a fact, no longer is prayer

Moderator’s Address/Page 7

permitted in our secular schools. No longer is the Bible as the inspired Word

of God permitted in the secular schools. Yes, Christian schools are needed. I

would like to publicly commend the churches which have Christian schools.

God bless you Brother for your concern.

There are great doors opened in seminary training. Seminaries are not an

incubatorto hatch preachers, but they are institutions to help the preacher

to sharpen his tools fora more effective ministry. If I had only four years to

pastor, knowing what I know presently, I would spend two years in seminary

training. We are facing an educated world. Let us prepare pastors to face the

educated world.

Some are pastoring school teachers, lawyers, doctors, and business men;

God help us to prepare our pastors for the work set before them. God bless

you men who work so faithfully in our seminaries.

There are great doors opened through C.M.D. Property has become so

overpriced that it is seemingly impossible for one church, or mission, to

purchase property. We have a God-honoring work set up by the First Mis-

sionary Baptist Church of Antioch, for the purpose of helping in this area of

purchasing property. Pastor, lead the church where you are pastor to place

C.M.D. in your mission budget, it is a worthy project.

These named opportunities are only a few of the many doors open to us.

God help us to step through these and others. Second, we will consider the

word “effectual”.

Seemingly the word “effectual” would carrywith it the meaning of the abil-

ity to perform. Christ has never asked one of His churches to do anything

without the guarantee of the ability to perform; God has never asked one of

His people to do any particular work without the guarantee of the ability to

perform. The churches have the ability to carry out the world-wide commis-

sion as given by Jesus Christ and recorded by Matthew (28’.18-20), Mark

(16’.15-16), Luke (24:46-48), John (20:21), and Paul (Col. 1:27-29). The

Lord gives to every member of His church a work to do, and He guarantees

the power to perform (Romans 12:1-3; Ephesians 4:7, I Peter 4:10-11).

If each individual member of a NewTestament Church will know and iden-

tify with his God-given ability, then the power to perform will be evident.

Usually when one is identified in his right place and position, he will be

provided a work to do; be happy in that work, be blessed in that work, and a

blessing to other. So, let us not feel sorry for ourselves because we thinkwe

do not have the ability to perform, but let us claim the promise of being able

to perform in the calling of the Lord in New Testament Church capacity.

Moderators Address/Page 8

Third, as we seek to walk through the doors, claim the power to perform,

let us realize that many will be the adversaries. Note briefly some of the

adversaires we face.

The number one adversary. Satan, is walking about seeking someone

to devour (I Peter 5:8-10). There is the cruel adversary of self (I Cor. 9:27).

There is the adversary of peer-pressure. Motivated by what others think.

God help us to be motivated by what You think. The adversary of television,

some people of God know more about the heroes of television than they

know about God’s Heroes of faith. The adversary of pleasure. We live in a

pleasure mad society as evidenced by football, basketball, and baseball. God

help us to have pleasure but keep our priorities right. The adversary of mon-

ey. Too many of God’s people are not learning a lesson from the rich young

ruler as recorded in Luke 12:15-21. The adversary of unchristian-like con-

duct. Church discipline is a God-honoring action. No discipline, no respect,

nation, home, church. The adversary of undeveloped lives. Seemingly, our

problem is not of reaching people, but the keeping of those reached. Devel-

oping lives in particular is an adversary which needs to be overcome. There

are many, many more adversaries we face, but possibly these are sufficient

to provoke thought.

So let us, by the grace of God, and by the leadership of the Spirit of God,

walk through the doors opened by the Lord, Claim God’s power to perform,

and face with boldness, the adversaries and be victorious for the Lord.

Victory is ours in Jesus Christ.

Unity can prevail in Jesus Christ.

Great accomplishments can be enjoyed.

Let us place our hand to the plow and not look back.

Let us come to the end of the way in which Paul faced it:

For lam now ready to be offered, as the time of my departure is at hand

/ have fought a good fight, / have finished my course, / have kept the faith.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord,

the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto

al/them also that love His appearing.

II Timothy 4:6-8

C. Pack, for the Moderator’s Address. Bro. Pack brought a’ message based

on I Corinthians 16:9 on “The Work of the Lord”. Bro. McCalister chaired

the meeting as a motion was made, sconded, and carried, to include the

Moderator’s Address in the minutes.

The order of business was the seating of the messengers.

Proceedings/Page 12

Before seating the messengers, the moderator ruled that it would be proper

to deal with the resolution from Simi Valley regarding their action against

seating the messengers from the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of

Newbury Park. Bro. McCalister read the resolution drafted by the Simi Val-

ley Missionary Baptist Church, and moved it’s adoption. After a second it

was discussed by Brethren Jerry Waymire, McCalister, George Walton, Den-

nis Oliver, Kevin Rachel, Walter Chambers, Burel Burnes, and O. E. Hall.

Bro. Jack Cazier, pastor of Newbury Park, was asked to answer the ac-

cusations given in the resolution regarding the belief and practice of the

Newbury Park Church.

Bro. Pat Christian rose to a point of order. The point was that the State As-

sociation had no provision to unseat, or refuse seats to messengers. A motion

and second was recognized that a decision on the resolution be postponed

until the deliberation on changing the Articles of Agreement. Speaking to

the motion were brethren Middleton, Robert Williams, and Dwight Patter-

son. Bro. Pack ruled the messenger body could make a decision on the origi-

nal resolution; thereby ruling Bro. Christian’s substitute motion out of order.

Discussion continued on the original resolution to refuse seats to the

messengers from Newbury Park. Brethren discussing the resolution were

Dwight Patterson, Lonnie Wiggins, and David Berken.

Bro. C. C. Middleton moved the previous question, thereby intending to

close the debate. After a second the vote was taken and lost by a count of 65

in favor, and 110 against.

The order of business was the original resolution. Those discussing the

resolution were Brethren McCalister, Joel Swofford, Dave Lopiccolo,

Charles Jeff us, Roy Reed, Jack Cazier, C. C. Middleton and Gary Max.

Bro. I. K. Cross moved that the assembly keep the scheduled preaching

hour, which was then at hand. After a second, the motion lost by a vote of 83

in favor and 100 against, so discussion of the resolution resumed, carried on

by Brethren Kevin Rachel, Mark Reeves, Deiter Bergstrasser, and Earnest

Crawford.

When Bro. Franklin Jacks asked to speak, Bro. John McClung rose to a

point of order because Bro. Jacks was excluded from the Living Word Mis-

sionary Baptist Church.

Bro. Roy M. Reed moved that the discussion and vote be postponed until

2 p.m. so that the missionary sermon could be delivered. The vote was taken

and there were 90 in favor and 80 against the motion. The motion lost be-

cause it lacked the

Proceedings/Page 13

necessary 2/3 majority. Discussion resumed on the original resolution.

When Bro. Franklin Jacks again asked to be recognized to speak, as a

messenger from the Norwalk church, Bro. John McClung revealed that

Bro. Jacks had been excluded from the Living Word church for heresy and

spreading discord, and that his ordination had been rescinded. Moderator

Pack ruled that Bro. Jacks could not address the assembly because of the

action by Living Word Church. Bro. Robert Williams moved that Bro. Jacks

not be allowed to address the assembly because of his exclusion. After a

second it was discussed by Brethren Kevin Rachel, and John McClung. The

vote was taken, and carried to silence Bro. Jacks with approximately ten

voting against it.

Bro. Arthur Richardson called for the question. After a second, the mes-

sengers voted unanimously to discontinue further debate and vote on the

original resolution.

The order of business was the original resolution not to seat the messen-

gers from the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of Newbury Park, nor

to list them with ourchurches. The messengers voted to adopt the resolution

with about eleven voting against it.

Bro. Bill Cooper led the congregation in singing “Send the Light.” After

this Bro. Leslie Smith sang “Peace in the Valley.”

Bro. Larry Reeves introduced Bro. H. L. Spence for the Missionary Ser-

mon. Bro. Spence took his text from Matthew 28’.19-20, and spoke regard-

ing “Principles of Scriptural Mission Work.” Bro. Spence gave some wise

counsel regarding mission work from the Word, and his experience. Bro.

Roy Reed gave a hand of appreciation to Bro. Spence for the fine sermon.

Bro. Raymond Bynum moved to adjourn until 2 p.m. A second was heard

and the motion carried. Bro. Dwight Patterson led inthe dismissal prayer.

Tuesday Afternoon — April 14, 1981

At 2:00 p.m. Bro. Bill Cooper led the assembly in singing “He Keeps

Me Singing.” Bro. Otis Dees led in prayer.

The order of business was the seating of messengers. Bro. James Nye

presented three statements that some members of the Norwalk Missionary

Baptist Church had made at a meeting! attended by Brethren Nye, Larry

Reeves, and K. D. Ward, ini December 1980. The three statements were: 1)

They do notj believe a person is saved from their sin until baptism; 2) They

doi not believe that a person has eternal life until the resurrection, nor’ did

Christ have eternal life until He came forth from the grave; 3 They believe

that a person does not receive the Holy Spirit until he

Proceedings/Page 14

becomes a member of the body of Christ, the local church. Bro. Nye moved that

the messengers of the Norwalk Missionary Baptist Church not be seated, nor

their letter retained because of these beliefs. Speaking to the motion were breth-

ren Chambers and Gary Max. The vote was taken and carried unanimously.

The Moderator, Bro. Pack, declared the messengers seated. Bro. Lonnie Wig-

gins moved that the clerks make 200 copies of the resolution from Simi Valley

and bring them for distribution to the messengers. The motion carried following

a second.

Bro. J. W. Godbehere read the petitionary letters from the churches in Ord

Bend and Waterford. The messengers of these two churches were called for-

ward, as Bro. Pat Christian extended a welcome on behalf of the messenger

assembly.

Bro. L. E. McCalister was recognized to moderate the presentation of the

Missionary Committee report. The clerk of this committee, Raymond Bynum,

read the minutes of the Missionary Committee. A motion and second to adopt

the report was made.

Bro. McCalister invited these brethren to give their reports: James Ligon

(Waterford), O. E. Hall (Madera), Leslie Smith (Oakland), Joe Hernandez (Ba-

kersfield), Tom Porter (Gilroy), Larry Clements for George Torrentes (Sun Val-

ley), Ellis Fisher (Merced), and H. L. Spence (Clovis).

A vote was taken on the Missionary Committee Report, and it was adopted

unanimously.

Other missionaries who spoke briefly were: John Kersey (Fremont), Gregory

Andino (Lost Hills), James Cain (Los Molinos), Dennis Wharton (Madera),

Robert Hoff (San Jacinto), Howard Vogan (Poway), Neil Morley (Solomon Is-

lands), Heriberto Guerrero (Dominguez and Wilmington), Gerald Loyd (Ord

Bend) and Paul Hurth (New Zealand).

Bro. L. E. McCalister read the resolution from the First Landmark Mission-

ary Baptist Church of South Gate endorsing Paul T. Hurth to the American Bap-

tist Association as a foreign missionary to New Zealand. A motion and second

carried unanimously to adopt the resolution. (See Resolution #6).

Bro. Leon Hawkins gave a report of his work in Mexico.

Bro. Roger Bowline gave the Mission Treasurer’s report. It was adopted.

The order of business was the election of the Missionary Committee. A mo-

tion and second carried that the members stand as nominees with the right of

substitution. Nominees for the position of D. S. Madden were Brethren Larry

Reeves and D. W. Bergstrasser. Bro. Reeves was elected. Bro. Bill Fritz placed

Keith. Newton’s name in place of his own name. Bro. Newton was

Proceedings/Page 15

elected. There were no other substitutions.

Bro. Roger Bowline was the only nominee for Mission Treasurer, and was

elected by acclamation. Nominees for assistant treasurer were Larry Reeves

and Telly Robbins. Bro. Reeves was elected as assistant.

Bro. Dwight Patterson moved that Bro. Bowline be paid $550 in view of

his having to work in Bro. Madden’s place for half of last year. This motion

carried after a second.

Bro. Arthur Richardson moderated the giving of committee reports. Bro.

Ellis Fisher gave the Enrollment and Finance Committee report. It was ad-

opted. Sis. Charlene Max gave the report of the State Ladies Auxiliary meet-

ing. A motion and second to adopt the report carried. Bro. Bill Hoppert gave

nia Mission Development Report. It was approved. Bro. George Townsend

Jr. gave the Home Mission Report. Speaking to this report were Brethren

ing until 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The motion carried. Several announce-

ments were made, and the assembly was dismissed in prayer by Bro. James

Bro. L. E. McCalister introduced the evening speaker, Bro. George Wal-

ton. Bro. Walton preached from Numbers 10:29 on the subject, “Come with

Us and We Will Do Thee Good.” The stirring message was well received by

the assembly. An invitation song, “Just As I Am,” was sung as Bro. Walton

Proceedings/Page 17

Bro. Dwight Patterson moved that the resolution on special called ses-

sions (resolution number 3) be removed from the table. The motion carried.

Bro. Patterson read the resolution and moved its adoption. After a second

was heard, Bro. Jerry Waymire moved to amend the resolution by the fol-

lowing changes: To substitute the words “three cooperating churches” in the

place of “a quorum of cooperating churches. A quorum shall consist of three

cooperating churches;’ to substitute, “A called session may be convened for

the following reasons:” in the place of, “The purpose of the called session

of this association is as follows:” to change the word “endorsed’ to the word

“supported;” to substitute, “A question arises concerning the soundness of

a church endorsing a missionary supported by the churches of this associa-

tion,” in the place of, “An endorsing church of an association missionary be-

comes unscriptural in doctrine and practice;” to change the word “place’” in

point 3 to the word “recommend,’” and the word “on” to the word “for.’ To

change “A missionary or missionaries are not receiving the recommended

salary as set by this association,” to “A missionary or missionaries are not

receiving the salary recommended by the messengers of this association.”

An amendment was made to add, “The churches are to be notified thirty

days prior to the meeting.” The amendment was seconded. The vote was

taken and the resolution, as amended, carried. (This becomes Section 2 of

Article IX of the Articles of Agreement).

A motion and second was made that copies of any resolution presented

at the State Association be made available to the messengers. The motion

carried.

The order of business was the election of officers. A motion carried that

Proceedings/Page 18

Invitations for the 1982 Messenger Meeting were extended by Bro. Bill

Hoppert (Visalia), and Bro. Lonnie Wiggins (Salinas). The messengers vot-

ed to meet in Visalia in 1982.

The order of business was the selection of speakers for the 1982 meeting.

Nominees for the Introductory Sermon were Dennis Wharton, Bill Fritz,

Travis Hubbard, Joe Steddum, and Rusty Eileen. Bro. Hubbard was chosen

to bring the message and Bro. Fritz was chosen to be alternate.

Nominees for the Missionary Sermon were Brethren Bill Hoppert, Tom

Porter, Howard Vogan, and 0. E. Hall. Bro. Porter was elected with Bro.

Vogan to be the alternate.

Nominees for the Evangelistic Sermon were Brethren Vernie Fletcher,

Richard Paslay, Tim Sullivan, Gordon Richwine, and Larry Crouch. The

messengers elected Bro. Fletcher, with Bro. Paslay to be the alternate.

Bro. McCalister made a motion that a committee of three be elected to

establish a youth meeting to be held yearly at the State Association. The mo-

tion carried after a second. Nominees for the committee were Brethren Stan

Carney, Mike Ireland, and Bill Cooper. These three were elected.

Bro. Pack recognized Bro. J. W. Godbehere to moderate at this time.

A motion was made, seconded, and carried, to remove the amendment to

Doctrinal Statement Number 7 from the table. (See Resolution number 4).

Bro. Ralph Simonton moved to amend the resolution by changing the

wording to read: “We believe that the moment a person repents of his sin,

and places his faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, he is born again of the Spirit

of God, becomes a child of God, and receives eternal life. He is also assured

that he will be in the first resurrection and that he will not suffer any punish-

ment in hell or the lake of fire. This is because he is saved and kept wholly

by God’s grace, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 6:47).” Discussing

the amendment were Brethren James Nye, Tim Sullivan and George Ber-

nasconi. The vote was taken and the amendment lost.

Bro. John McClung moved to amend the resolution by inserting the word

“past;” making it read ...receives forgiveness of all his sins past

” The vote

was taken and this amendment lost.

Bro. Deiter Bergstrasser moved to amend the resolution by substituting

the word “because” in the place of “due to the fact that,” thereby making

the last sentence read: “This is because he is saved

The amendment was

seconded and carried.

Bro. Jerry Waymire moved to amend the resolution by deleting

Proceedings/Page 19

the words, “... that from the moment of his physical death he will forever

be in the presence of Christ.” There was a second and the motion was dis-

cussed. Thevote was taken on this amendment and it lost.

The resolution, as amended was unanimously approved by the vote of the

messenger assembly.

Bro. Clements moved that the revision of Doctrinal Statement number 6

be removed from the table. (See resolution number 1). This motion carried.

Bro. Clements read the revision and moved its adoption. It was seconded

and adopted.

Bro. Pat Christian made a motion to remove the proposed change in Arti-

cle III Section 4 from the table. (See Resolution number 5). It was seconded

and carried. Bro. Christian moved to delete the words, ...and we further

recommend that any church deemed to be unscriptural in faith or practice,

be a two-thirds majority of the messengers, shall not be considered seated in

the messenger body;” and to substitute the following words in their place:

“We further recommend that if two or more churches cooperating in this as-

sociation withdraw fellowship from a sister church on the basis of doctrinal

faith or practice, the messengers from that sister church shall be refused

seats in the messenger body by two-thirds majority.” This amendment was

discussed by Brethren Christian, Butimore, and McCalister.

Bro. Lonnie Wiggins moved to amend the amendment by striking the

words “by two-thirds majority” and substituting the words “by majority vote

of the messengers present.” After a second was heard, Bro. McCalister rose

to a point of order. He said it was improper to consider three amendments,

assuming the original resolution was an amendment. The parliamentarian

was called for to give a ruling on the point of order. Bro. Reed ruled that the

motion to amend the Articles of Agreement was a main motion to introduce

business, therefore, the two amendments to it would be in order.

The order of business was the amendment to delete the two-thirds ma-

jority statement of Bro. Christian’s amendment. Brethren discussing this

amendment were I. K. Cross, Art Richardson, Monroe Patterson, and C. C.

Middleton. The vote was taken on the amendment and it lost.

Bro. Bernasconi suggested that the last sentence read, “ ... by two-thirds

majority of messengers present.” There was no opposition, so it was consid-

ered inserted.

Bro. Simonton suggested that the word “may” would be better in the last

sentence than “shall” or “will.” There was no opposition, so it was inserted

to read: “ ... the messengers from

Proceedings/Page 20

that sister church may be refused seats

The vote was taken on the amendment to the main motion to amend

Article III Section 4, and it carried.

The order of business was the motion to amend Article III Section 4. The

motion, as amended, carried with no opposition.

Bro. Wiggins moved that the messengers give a standing vote of thanks to

the moderator and officers. It carried unanimously after a second.

Bro. D. W. Bergstrasser observed that some of the most important mat-

ters of business came at the last of the session, when time was running out.

He suggested that the agenda be rearranged so that the important matters of

business could be handled earlier in the session. This observation was duly

recognized by Bro. Pack.

Bro. Pack turned the gavel to the incoming moderator, Arthur Richardson.

Bro. Pack expressed thanks to the messengers for their cooperation.

Bro. George Walton moved to adjourn until 1982. Aftera second and

standing vote, Bro. Stevens (Redlands), dismissed the assembly in prayer.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to-

gether in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that

ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard; that went down to the

skirts of his garments, Like the dew of Hermon, and like the dew that

descended upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded

the blessing, even life for evermore.”

CALIFORNIA MISSION DEVELOPMENT REPORT

THE MEANING OF C.M.D. — Stating it very simply it is CALIFOR-

NIA MISSION DEVELOPMENT. The monies that are collected through

C.M.D. are to be used for the specific purpose of helping Missions and Small

Churches to buy land and construct buildings for the Glory of our Lord and

Saviour, Jesus Christ.

THE PURPOSE OF C.M.D. — is to encourage cooperation through the

churches in purchasing land and erecting buildings for the Glory of the Lord

Jesus Christ. The First Missionary Baptist Church of Antioch, who controls

C.M.D. provides a means whereby churches and individuals who wish to

help in this cooperative effort may do so.

In our last Associational Year, C.M.D. has received and disperced

$17,039.61. The mission in Gilroy received the second and fourth quarters

of 1980; San Jacinto received the third quarter funds of 1980. The first quar-

ter of 1981 was received by the mission in Merced sponsored by the First

Missionary Baptist Church of Fresno.

C.M.D. has helped 29 churches and missions through the First Mission-

ary Baptist Church of Antioch, since 1967, when she became the controller

of C.M.D. funds. Most of these are now considered to be self-supporting

works.

Of the 29 churches and missions that have received C.M.D. funds, three

have disbanded, one has left the faith, five do not support C.M.D. but

TWENTY of these support C.M.D. regularly.

We have received 62 offerings from cooperating churches and missions,

23 offerings from Ladies Auxiliaries and $444.70 from individuals.

We recommend C.M.D. to the churches of the California Cooperative As-

sociation of Missionary Baptist Churches as being sound, Scriptural, and a

proven asset to the Lord’s Work in California. We further recommend to all

of the Churches and Ladies Auxiliaries of the California Cooperative Asso-

ciation of Missionary Baptist Churches that C.M.D. be supported regularly

by whatever means the churches deem proper. We more-over recommend

that each church become more involved and represent regularly by messen-

ger to the quarterly meetings of C.M.D.

HOME MISSION REPORT

We know that there is a proper way to do all things. We have many ex-

amples in the Bible of things having to be done in the proper manner. One

example would be the healing of Naaman as found in II Kings 5:1-14. In

order for Naaman to be healed he had to follow the instructions of Elisha in

the proper way. This he did and was healed of his leprosy.

In like manner, when Jesus gave the command to be witnesses for Him. In

Acts chapter 2, He also gave the proper manner in which it should be done.

He told them their witnessing should begin there in Jerusalem, or, in their

local area. And then, itwould spread from there .. .

With this as our example, “Home Missions” should be of great importance

to us. In order to witness, or do mission work in the proper way, we must

first reach out to those in our own area. As this is done, and when done in the

proper manner, the Word of God will spread throughout all nations.

We wish to encourage added support of our local missions, and missionar-

ies, so the commands of our Lord may be carried out in a proper and effec-

tive manner.

Respectfully Submitted, Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of Free-

dom

George Townsend, Jr., Pastor

FOREIGN MISSION REPORT

In a letter from our Secretary-Treasurer in Texicana, dated March 6, 1981,

an urgent appeal was made concerning the needed support for our interstate

and foreign missionaries. We, in America have been tremendously privi-

leged to share a generous portion of the earth’s goods; therefore, to those

who have more is required of them. Let us move forward as churches of this

Cooperative Association, with a willingness to share our portion of the ex-

penses required to support our brethren on the foreign fields. Not that other

men be eased, and you burdened; but by an equality, that now at this time

your abundance may be a supplyfor their want, that their abundance also

may be a supply for your want; that there may be equality. Brethren, let us be

encouraged to trust our God in these times as never before to do His will in

Reports & Resolutions/Page 31

mission work. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that

you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good

work.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION REPORT

Christian Education is taught throughout the Scriptures. Moreover, in this

church age the Lord Jesus Christ commissioned His church to make dis-

ciples and teach them the all things that He commanded.

Once souls have been saved, scripturally baptized and become members

of the church, it is imperative that they be indoctrinated in the Word, to

know why they are Baptists and to be taught how to reach and teach others.

Religious training of our children is commanded in the Bible. We, as par-

ents, have the responsibility to train our children and “bring them up in

the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” The Scripture further instructs to

“train up a child in theway he should go.” And then we have the promise that

“when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Therefore, it is the duty of each New Testament Church to have a teach-

ing program that is reaching, teaching and training people for service in the

Lord’s work. The church, of necessity, must have a strong Sunday School

and BTC program that will teach, indoctrinate and train her members as well

as to reach the lost, evangelizing the community in which she is located.

Each of the Lord’s churches, through her Sunday School and BTC classes,

worship services, home bible studies and personal workers, should become

known in the community as a soul winning, Bible teaching church. No part

of the Great Commission should be neglected. We must win the losttothe

Lord and then teach His Word to them. This must be done both at home and

abroad.

Church-owned institutes and seminaries such as CMBI and FMBI offer

advantages in Christian Education beyond the local church level. The work

of CMBI and FMBI is not only to teach and train men who have been called

into the ministry, but to also train teachers, youth directors, music directors,

soul-winners and personal workers for the Lord’s service. Ministers, min-

ister’s

Reports & Resolutions/Page 32

wives, teachers and personal workers are encouraged — even URGED — to

take advantage of the opportunities that these two schools provide in train-

ing men and women in Christian Education to better serve the Lord in and

through His church. Both schools are staffed with qualified instructors and

are worthy of the support of sister churches. In this manner Christian Educa-

tion can be further advanced for the honor and glory of God.

Let us, as churches of the Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptists

in California, earnestly promote Christian Education in order to train Chris-

tian workers for a more effective ministry in the service of the Lord.

Respectfully submitted,

First Missionary Baptist Church

Fresno, California

Burel G. Burnes, Pastor

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE REPORT

2 Tim. 3:14-17 teaches us that it is virtually impossible to separate Chris-

tian Education from Christian Literature. The quality of Christian Education

depends entirely on the quality of the literature used and the quality of the

men using it.

Therefore, we, the undersigned church recommend to the churches com-

posing the California Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptist

Churches the following:

That pastors, as the shepherds of the Lord’s churches continue to use the

Bible, The Word of God as their only source for preaching and teaching the

principles of God. Matt. 28:20, 2 Tim. 4:1-8.

That churches together with their pastors and teachers carefully se-

lect the kind of materials that are to be used in training the members

of the Lord’s churches. We especially recommend that churches and

individual members avoid the use of literature distributed by orga-

nizations such as “The Navigators,”Campus Crusade International,”

“Success With Youth,” and all like organizations. These and others

like them tend to minimize, downgrade and tear apart the very foun-

dation and nature of the Lord’s Church. Eph. 2:19-22 & 3:21.

That members of Missionary Baptist churches be discouraged from

purchasing, distributing and reading

Reports & Resolutions/Page 33

literature which is prepared and distributed by the various “Charismatic” groups. 2

Tim. 2:14-23.

4. That Missionary Baptist Periodicals strive to promote more fully the work being

done among Missionary Baptist churches, rather than to give time and space to the

reporting of the affairs of the rest of the religious world. Luke 9:51-56.

5. That those Missionary Baptist men and women who are selected to write and publish

materials for the Sunday School, B.T.C., and other like programs, strive to maintain

the uncompromising purity of the doctrines of the Word of God by which we are

distinguished from all other bodies. Jude 3-5.

These recommendations were approved by the church in regular business conference on

April 1, 1981, and are prayerfully submitted to you by:

MEMORIAL REPORT

Someone once said, “A man is not prepared to live until he is prepared to die.” Often times

people in their busy schedules and hurried pace preparing to live, neglect the one thing which is most

important of all, preparing to die.

Jesus said, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own

soul?”

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, those who died this past year from

among our churches were prepared. We mourn the loss of their sweet fellowship in the flesh, but

rejoice to know they are present with the Lord in spirit.

Let us pause, and give thanks for the wonderful memories these have left behind.

RESOLUTION NUMBER 1

Resolution Concerning Doctrinal Statement 6

At the 1980 California State Association a motion was made that a com-

mittee be instructed to prepare a revision of our doctrinal statement that will

express the view of the messengers regarding the doctrine of Calvinism.

The revision to Doctrinal Statement Number 6 would read: “We believe

that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all man-

kind and is efficacious only to those who believe (Isaiah 53:6; Hebrews 2:9;

I Peter 2:24; I Peter 3:18; 11 Peter 3:9; I John 2:2).”

RESOLUTION NUMBER 2

Resolution Regarding Seating of Newbury Park Church

Believing the Scriptures teach we are to know those who labor among us,

And Believing the Scriptures teach two must agree to walk together,

And Since our pastor, L. E. McCalister talked with the pastor of the Land-

mark Missionary Baptist Church of Newbury Park, Jack Cazier, regarding

some doctrines that church is teaching, the Simi Valley Missionary Baptist

Church approved the following resolution to be read at the California Coop-

erative Association of Missionary Baptist Churches when meeting at Visalia

on April 13, 14, 15, 1981:

WHEREAS it is the accepted teaching of the Landmark Missionary Baptist

Church of Newbury Park that one is not born again at the point of believing

faith in Jesus, but must be baptized and faithfully grow into the new birth;

AND WHEREAS the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of Newbury

Park accepts the teaching that when the one who does not continue faithful

or the one who has believed unto salvation but never receives scriptural bap-

tism dies, that person goes to the same place the rich man in Luke 16 went;

AND WHEREAS the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of Newbury

Park accepts the teaching that the unfaithful saved will

Resolutions/Page 38

remain with the rich man until the Great White Throne Judgment, then be

judged and given an appointed time to suffer in the lake of fire before he is

given any place in the new heaven and new earth;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we the Simi Valley Missionary

Baptist Church object to the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of New-

bury Park being listed among the churches of the California Cooperative

Association of Missionary Baptist Churches, and object to their messengers

being seated at our messenger body meeting.

business meeting Wednesday, April 8, 1981.

RESOLUTION NUMBER 3

Resolution Concerning Special Called Sessions

Proposed Addition to Article IX, which would become Section 2:

“A called session of this association may be called by three cooperating

churches. A called session may be convened for the following reasons:

1. A missionary supported by this association becomes unscriptural in

doctrine or practice.

2. A question arises concerning the soundness of a church endorsing a

missionary supported by the churches of this association.

3. There is a need to recommend a missionary or missionaries for sal-

ary or designated funds between sessions.

4. A missionary or missionaries are not receiving the salary recom-

mended by the messengers of this association.

5. The churches are to be notified 30 days prior to the meeting.”

RESOLUTION NUMBER 4

Resolution Regarding Amendment to Doctrinal Statement 7

WHEREAS the Doctrinal Statement of the California

Resolutions/Page 39

Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptist Churches contains no state-

ment defining salvation, how it is obtained or its duration; and

WHEREAS the doctrinal position of any church on this most important

subject is vital to her identity as a Scriptural New Testament Church; and

WHEREAS there is Biblical precedent to “set forth in order a declaration

of those things which are most surely believed among us,” Luke 1:1;

THEREFORE be it resolved that the Doctrinal Statement be amended by

adopting the following statement concerning salvation, and that it be insert-

ed and numbered as statement #7, and that the existing statements number 7

through 14 be renumbered as statements 8 through 15, accordingly.

7. We believe that the moment a person repents of his sin and places his

faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, he is born again, becomes a child of God, is

personally indwelt bythe Holy Spirit, receives forgiveness of all his sins and

receives eternal life. He is also assured that from the momentof his physical

death he will forever be in the presence of Christ, that he will be in the first

resurection and that he will not suffer any punishment in Hell or the Lake

of Fire, regardless of the degree of his faithfulness to God. This is because

he is saved and kept wholly by God’s Grace, apart from works (Ephesians

2:8-9; John 5:24).

Resolution Regarding Change in Article III Section 4

WHEREAS Article III, Section 4 of the Articles of Agreement of this asso-

ciation makes provision for inviting “Scriptural New Testament Churches”

to co-operate in carrying out the purpose designed in Article II; and

WHEREAS this same Article and Section does not make provision for

refusing “Unscriptural Churches” this same privilege; and

WHEREAS co-operation on a “New Testament” basis as stated

Resolutions/Page 40

in Article II is only possible among churches of like faith and practice; and

WHEREAS the faith and practice of a church determines her scriptural-

ness;

THEREFORE be it resolved that Article III Section 4 of the Articles of

Agreement be amended to read:

Section 4. We recommend to all Scriptural New Testament Churches, de-

siring to co-operate with us for the purpose designed in Article II of these

Articles of Agreement, that they express their desire by presenting a state-

ment of their faith and practice. We further recommend that if two or more

churches cooperating in this association withdraw fellowship from a sister

church on the basis of doctrinal faith or practice, the messengers from that

sister church may be refused seats in the messenger body by two-thirds ma-

jority of messengers present.

WHEREAS Brother Paul Hurth has manifested a calling from God to do

mission work in the country of New Zealand,

AND WHEREAS, during a six week stay in that country, God brought him

in touch with several families who desire to begin a church in their country,

AND WHEREAS the First Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of South

sion work in New Zealand,

truth established in New Zealand,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the messengers of the churches of

the Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptist Churches of California

do hereby endorse and recommend to the messengers of the churches of the

RESOLUTION NUMBER 7

Resolution Regarding Pastor’s Medical Insurance

It is no secret that medical costs have increased greatly in the past ten to

twenty years. As a result, a hospital stay, that some years back would have

been a financial setback, is now a financial catastrophe.

In the last year, many pastors and missionaries have been stricken by

injury or illness. Ministerial families have likewise been afflicted.

And, while this is always terrible in itself, when it happens to a family

that is unprotected by basic medical coverage, it is a disaster.

Because of this, the First Missionary Baptist Church of Lomita urges her

sister churches to insure that their pastors and missionaries have adequate

medical insurance.

We also urge our sister churchesto look to the needs of men who are on

the field, from churches too small to take care of this need, and make it

their responsibility to see that this need is met.

Done by order of the church, April 12, 1981.

Resolution Regarding History of Churches

WHEREAS there is no publication on the history of Missionary Baptist

churches on the West Coast, and

WHEREAS the churches of Bend, Oregon and Visalia, California

have voted jointly an endeavor to document and record the history

of these churches as practical information is received, and WHEREAS

the Cooperative Association presently has a

Resolutions/Page 42

committee of brethren working on this type of history;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the messengers of the churches

of the California Cooperative Association encourage the Bend and Visalia

churches and the History Committee in preparing the history of Missionary

Baptists on the West Coast by providing surveys, out-of-print materials,

bulletins, papers, pictures, etc. for this work.

Resolution of Thanks

Like so many of God’s blessings, we often take for granted the efforts

and labors of God’s men and churches through whom the blessings come.

Each year we assemble in Visalia for our annual messenger meeting; we

find everything in place, all necessities provided for, and every courtesy

extended.

With these blessings in mind and wishing to express publicly our grateful

appreciation to the Visalia church and her pastor;

LET IT THEREFORE BE RESOLVED that we express our thanks by a

standing vote of appreciation.

Doctrinal Statement/Page 45

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

1. We believe in the verbal inspiration and infallibility of the whole Bible

as originally written, and that the Bible is the all sufficient rule of faith and

practice. II Timothy 3:16, 17.

2. We believe in personal, triune God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

equal in Divine perfection, Matthew 28:19.

3. We believe in the Genesis account of creation. Genesis 1.

4. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, Matthew 1:20.

5. We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, John 10:30.

6. We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitution-

ary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe (Isaiah 53:6;

Hebrews 2:9; I Peter 2:24; I Peter 3:18; II Peter 3:9; I John 2:2).

7. We believe that the moment a person repents of his sin and places his

faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, he is born again, becomes a child of God, is

personally indwelt by the Holy Spirit, receives forgiveness of all his sins and

receives eternal life. He is also assured that from the moment of his physical

death he will forever be in the presence of Christ, that he will be in the first

resurrection and that he will not suffer any punishment in Hell or the Lake

of Fire, regardless of the degree of his faithfulness to God. This is because

he is saved and kept wholly by God’s Grace, apart from works (Ephesians

2:8-9; John 5:24).

8. We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the

bodily resurrection of His Saints, 1 Corinthians. 15.

9. We believe in the premillenial second coming of Christ, personal and

bodily, as the crowning event of the Gentile age, Acts 1:11.

10. We believe the Bible doctrine of eternal punishment of the finally im-

penitent, Matthew 25:46.

11. We believe that Jesus Christ established His Church, The Body of

Christ, during His ministry on earth and that it is only/always a local, visible

assembly of scriptually baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry

out the Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ, and each church is an ide-

pendent, self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exerise

authority over it. We believe that Jesus Christ gave the Great

Articles of Agreement/Page 46

Commission and the keeping of the integrity of the two ordinances to His

New Testament Churches only.

12. We believe that all co-operating bodies are and properly should be the

servants of the churches.

13. We believe that the Scriptures teach that there has been a succession of

true churches adhering to the doctrines and practices of the New Testament

from the time of Christ to this day, and that the churches of this Association

are so identified.

14. We believe that baptism, to be valid, must be administered by a scrip-

tual Baptist church.

15. We believe that the Lord’s Supper is to be administered within the

membership of the local New Testament Church as a memorial of the Lord’s

death, until He comes again, I Corinthians 11:26.
