"Why doesn't the President put forth a proposal
for merger of the four black Baptist Conventions
in the US that each claim to have over 1M members,
namely NBCA, NBCUSA, PNBC & NMBC?" Baptist was the
right religion in the days of Nikolaus Storch,
George Blaurock & Menno Simon. Then, in 1845, the
Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) split from the
northern Baptists over slavery &
1Ti 3:1,7 (AKJV) - This is a true saying, If a man
desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good
work. v7 Moreover he must have a good report of
them which are without; lest he fall into reproach
and the snare of the devil. (So they should rename
the SBC the Slavery Baptist Convention.) The
northern Baptists renamed themselves the
American Baptist Convention (ABC). Before the
split, they had built a missionary school in
Augusta GA. Missionaries are automatic bishops
because they are the only one representing their
church in their assigned territory &, obviously,
slave-holders didn't "have a good reputation with
outsiders" (NIV). (The northern Baptists were in
the right over the division.) The issue was that
if the church mission pays for training,
transportation and lodging to send a missionary
(bishop) to Africa, will the 'outsiders/them which
are without' agree that he has 'a good
reputation/report' when they discover that he owns
slaves in the U.S.? Ridiculous, right? Since the
SBC set up their own bishop hierarchy against the
ABC, the President of the SBC must resign in order
to merge with the ABC. Isn't it correct to claim
that the ABC President has the scriptural right to
be President over both conventions because ABC was
historically in the right in the split over
1Ti 3:7? The name "Independent Baptist" means
Nondenom. The SBC basically has a Regional (organization)
for each U.S. State. Whenever an SBC congregation
decides to accept homosexual members, its Regional
kicks that congregation out of the SBC at which
point, they become Independent Baptist, which means
they're officially Nondenom until the day
they finally commence claiming that they have an
international headquarters (HQ). (SBC exposed.) In 1895, the ABC
caused the split from the
***National*** Baptist Convention (NBC) of the USA
(NBCUSA), infamously over apartheid. In
retrospect, that's (again) an utterly ridiculous
reason, right? One place that the Bible forbids
apartheid is Ac 10:34,35. So, all ministers of the
ABC must *formally* resign their positions by
letter & get re-appointed as members of whichever
religion is the correct one. The ABC used to make
African Americans climb a ladder in their Sunday
best, crawl through a window to sit in a hay loft
& watch the white people down in the pews talk to
the pastor. African Americans started the NBC to
put a stop to the intensely abusive discrimination. (ABC exposed.)
Elias Camp Morris founded the NBC in 1895 &
remained its President for twenty-seven years. In
1896, Richard Henry Boyd used his own real estate
as collateral to start the
National Baptist Publishing Board (NBPB, AKA
rhboydpublishing.com), but he wanted the money
that it produced. (2Pe 2:15) Morris &
NBPB Secretary Boyd remained luvy-duvy for
nineteen years. Booker T. Washington taught Sunday
School at the African [M.E.?] Zion Baptist Church,
twelve mi S of Charleston WV from 1876 until he
became principle of the Tuskegee Institute in
1881. In 1878, he attended
Wayland [Baptist] Seminary in DC for six months
(which isn’t “Methodist Episcopal”). In 1907, with
regard to the NBPB, Booker T. Washington, to
inspire entreprenueship, wrote, "The annual
expenses for running the institution for the last
fiscal year amounted to $115,000." (Isa 39:4-7) In
anticipating editorship trouble, Morris
incorporated the NBCUSA (the date of which
incorporation is also at issue). On
September 8, 1915, the National Baptist Convention
(NBC) held day one of a six-day convention in
Chicago. (nbcainc.com/page/history, inexplicably
presently says that nationalbaptist.com split from
them in 1919.) With regard to the NBPB, the
October 2, 1915 edition of the
Indianapolis Recorder, an African American
newspaper that is online today says: "By reason of
the peculiarity of the laws of Tennessee this
board elects its own members, although for many
years the Convention thought by electing its own
members in open session they really became members
of the board. To its great surprise, in the course
of tune it became known that no one was a member of
the publishing board unless elected by the board
itself. [...] The board, through its secretary,
defied the Convention and refused to allow the
Convention's auditor to audit its books."
During the lunch adjournment, Edward Perry Jones,
(went Theudas in response to the attempted audit
&) declared himself Chairman & attempted to hold a
Convention. (2Sa 15:10) Jones, thereby, committed
criminal disturbing the peace as the delegates
were yelling in the aisles so that Morris
adjourned the convention for the day. (Was Jones
the Secretary of the Home Mission Board?) The same
paper goes on to say that, the next day, when
Morris was reading his annual address: "It was in
the midst of the reading of this address that
Dr. E. P. Jones entered the hall, followed by a
deputy sheriff, and interrupted the speaker, and
the deputy sheriff served on President Morris an
injunction issued by Judge Smith, prayed for by
Rev. E. P. Jones, R. H. Boyd and C. J. M. Boyd."

(Suing one’s spiritual br violates 1Co 6:1,8.) For
years, Boyd's Convention, NBC America (NBCA,
nbcainc.com), was called the unincorporated
church. Perhaps wanting to please the majority of
the delegates, the Court decided that NBCA
(nbcainc.com) was in the right on the split with
NBCUSA (nationalbaptist.com) because Boyd's name
was on the deed to the farm & the printing press
was on Boyd's farm. (Possession is nine tenths of
the law.) Neither Boyd nor Jones committed State
or Federal embezzlement. However, the members of
NBCA appear eternally guilty of embezzling souls.
The Crisis NAACP (magazine) Vol 11, pg 316, edited
by W.E.B. Du Bois (it’s on google) says
(April 1916 begins on pg 282): "[At the Chicago
Convention, 1915.] No person was allowed to enter
the hall un-less he or she wore a Morris badge.
This so enraged the majority of the delegates
until they stood out on the street and side-walks
until about eleven o'clock in a steady rain. At
this hour President-elect Jones and his followers
felt themselves outraged and appealed to the civil
authorities and had these doors opened and the
leaders re-strained by injunction. [...] When it
was found that President Morris had the legal
contracted rights to the hall, the Jones faction
at once appointed a com-mittee to wait on
Dr. Haywood and his dea-cons and officials and
secure the Salem Baptist Church for two days to
finish up the business of the convention. [...]
the facts seem to be: [...] 8. Dr. Boyd then made
the tactical error of apparently denying the right
of either Convention to control his Publishing
House. 9. Mr. Morris made the very politic move of
simply claiming that the Boyd Publish-ing House
should belong to the Convention; and that if this
was not true the Conven-tion should have a
Publishing House." Jones became President of NBCA
for eight years. MLK, Sr. (MLK's dad) became the
"pastor" of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
MLK, Sr. joined (with the decisions of
W.E.B. Du Bois, the NAACP, Morris &) the NBCUSA
(against the Boyd family). MLK, Jr. became
assistant pastor at Ebenezer when he was nineteen
years old. David V. Jemison of Selma was President
of NBCUSA for thirteen years, from 1941-1953, hence
MLK's affiliation with Selma. (NBCA exposed.) In 1943,
Lavaughn Venchael Booth joined
Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago,
Joseph Harrison Jackson’s home church. In 1952,
Lavaughn Venchael Booth was *Treasurer* of
NBCUSA & on July 19, 1952 he moved to Cinci. In
1953, Jackson removed Booth as Treasurer. Booth
said Jackson cleaned house. Eight years later,
Booth founded the Progressive NBC (PNBC) & MLK
joined it. On September 12, 1952, the third day of
the convention in Chicago, then
Vice President Jackson (coincidentally) presided
as the majority amended the Constitution to limit
(presidential) tenure in office to four years.
(Today, tenure is ten consecutive years, but
re-eligible after one term out of office.) Jackson
became President in ’53 &, in 1954, established a
policy of *detachment* from riding buses in mixed
race groups & lunch counter sit-ins. In 1955, the
Board of Directors recommended repealing the
Tenure Amendment. (The Constitution has since been
amended so that, today, the Board of Directors has
authority to do anything except that an appeal can
be put to a binding vote at a convention.) In
1957, in Louisville, two letters from different
attorneys were read to the Convention explaining
that the Constitutional Amendment had proceeded
inadvertently unlawfully. The letter from
W. S. Bodman of the law firm of Wilson and
Mcillvaine said that adopting on the third day is
void because it violates Robert's Rules of
[Parliamentary] Order. Jackson, then, announced
that he had decided (without debate or vote) to
unilaterally toss out the new Constitution &
revert to the old one & the delegates proceeded to
reelect him for a fifth, one-year term. The
pastors whose candidate couldn’t win threw chairs.
Booth’s son’s book quotes him as having written,
“It was there I offered the suggestion that if we
wanted a convention that honored [']tenure,['] we
would have to organize one.” In December 1957,
William H. Borders of
(Wheat Street Baptist Church, 359 Auburn Av NE,
one tenth of a mi from MLK’s
Ebenezer Baptist Church, 407 Auburn Av NE) Atlanta
(& nine others) petitioned the U.S. District Court
in DC for a Writ of Quo Warranto.
(William Holmes Borders, et al v.
Joseph Harrison Jackson, Case# 2888-57, 366 pages,
$337.80 for a scan from NARA in KC of the Opinion
& Briefs in this case from the Federal Records
Ctr.) NBCUSA was incorporated in DC. The
Baptist History & Heritage Society (BHHS) Journal
(2007) Vol 42 #3 might confirm that Robert’s Rules
was really the matter at issue in the Borders case
which any purveyor of out of print articles might
have - like this one:
https://www.questia.com/article/1G1-172686838/l-venchael-booth-crusader-for-freedom
The Court ruled that abiding by Robert's Rules is
correct so that the case that tenure was limited
to four years was, technically, legally false.
Although Borders sinned by suing, Ac 15:13,19
does indicate that the Apostle Peter’s tenure was,
in fact, limited & that chairmanship of Christian
organizations are required on this basis to
rotate. Coincidentally, searching for Olivet, here
http://www.archive.org/stream/illinoisappellat223illi/illinoisappellat223illi_djvu.txt
gives an *unpublished* Opinion that says that
Emerson C. Whitney (Atty) for Olivet Baptist
Church sued Jackson in Cook County Circuit in
1959 for his U.S. bonds. (23 Ill. App.2d 505,
the abstract is in WestlawNext) In 1960, NBCUSA
met in Philly & MLK Jr. supported a candidate from
Brooklyn, Gardner Calvin Taylor. (Taylor copied
Jones’ playbook from forty-five years earlier.)
The Convention voted 3500 to 500 for Jackson &,
during adjournment, Taylor’s [Gandhi-style]
march-ins, on the stage, overruled the election of
Jackson & elected him, instead. (Taylor’s
egg-on-their-face attorneys were
Isaiah W. Crippins & Ms. Alamina B. Carnes.) The
(recodified) Pennsylvania Statues R here:
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/231/chapter2170/s2179.html
Jackson filed for a Temporary Order to stop the
yelling in the aisles & Taylor improvidently
appealed his counterclaim to the Presidency to the
highest State Court in violation of 1Co 6:1-10.
(NBCUSA v. Taylor, et al. v. Carr & (TJ) Jemison,
402 Pa. 501, ruled “Pennsylvania Courts will not
take jurisdiction [...]" even to order the books &
records to the new Treasurer, Carr, & new
Secretary, T.J. Jemison.)
http://pa.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19610104_0040021.PA.htm/qx
In 1961, Taylor's supporters killed a guy on the
Convention stage in KC, Jackson removed MLK (as VP
of the National Sunday School and Baptist Training
Union) for being the mastermind. Jackson couldn’t
see his own guilt. Lavaughn Venchael Booth
responded, in Cinci, by splitting the PNBC from
the NBCUSA. (As for the Convention members who
didn't progress out of heresy, in retrospect,
we're looking at the guilt of millions of souls
arising due to Booth’s decision to stop tolerating
Jackson’s tyranny.) Jackson infamously failed to
respond to the repeated lawsuits by bringing the
Tenure Amendment back up for another vote.
(Jesse Louis Jackson is a member of PNBC.) Taylor
was PNBC’s second President (‘67-‘69) & Booth was
PNBC’s fifth President (‘72-‘74). Civil rights
weighs heavily in the balance because the
suffering involved is intense. However, at the
time of the split, NBCUSA remained politically
neutral. NBCUSA subsequently claimed to
'repent' for having been politically neutral (&
for, therefore, not having supported civil rights)
by electing Theodore Judson Jemison, *a civil
rights leader*, as President for twelve years from
1982-1994. But after losing, T.J. Jemison sued for
office & got caught concocting evidence:
http://www.dcbar.org/for_lawyers/ethics/discipline/pdf/court_action/95cv972x.pdf
This concocting of evidence shows that after
Jackson, the Presidents of nationalbaptist.com
(who have taught everyone to dissent from MLK's
pnbc.org) commenced a historic pattern of personal
corruption. (Separately from that, please, now
notice that if Booth had, instead, chosen to wait,
Jackson’s tyranny would have ended in September
1982, approximately 21 years after Booth's
decision to divide the church. But if he'd have
waited it out, he might have also prevented
Nelson Mandela from ending apartheid on earth.
Booth showed the courage of a very great reformer.
In terms of political shrewdness, Booth's maneuver
in Cinci was like Lincoln's strategy of not
allowing new slave states.) NBCUSA elected
Henry J. Lyons as President from 1994-1997. (From
1999-2003, Lyons did four for stealing $4M.) After
losing, Lyons filed the traditional, unsuccessful
lawsuit for NBCUSA office. On September 6, 1995,
during their convention in Birmingham, NBCUSA did
a solidarity march for laws that ensure equal
opportunity. If any members of NBCUSA felt that
the moral high ground of their church had been its
political neutrality, that high ground was now
completely lost, not that neutrality was Jackson’s
deliberately *stated* motive. (Jas 4:4; 1Jo 2:15)
Instead, Jackson crazily told Time magazine
(April 6, 1970), “No matter how nonviolent, civil
disobedience lays the ground for civil hatred and
the desire to destroy.” (Ac 4:18-20) The PNBC’s
case would still be proper because they attempted to
reason with Jackson for four years, beginning in
1957. So the lawsuits had hardened the heart of
the sitting President to the point that he had
become apostate & 2Jo 9, forbidding right of
revolution, no longer applied. Instead, church
reform by revolution became duty. Perhaps, NBCUSA
imagined that they were able to admit that they'd
been wrong (to remain neutral) without
simultaneously undermining all of their clergy’s
offices because of Robert’s Rules of Order. (Or is
it more likely that Lyons never even reasoned it
out?) However, NBCUSA is also clearly Biblically
mistaken on tenure ***pursuant to Ac 15:13.***
What a tricky disasterous trap for their
disciples! nationalbaptist.com’s only possible
remaining defense would be to claim that if Booth
would have continued to tolerate Jackson’s tyranny
for decades, NBCUSA’s Constitution was eventually
going to be properly amended to add tenure of
office limits. However, the reproach brought by
Jackson’s resistance to tenure (i.e. the lawsuits)
is still on NBCUSA to this day. But it’s worse
than that. Jackson became a monster. God
disassociated the Jews from Pharaoh. Jesus
disassociated the Nazarenes from the Pharisees &
the Sadducees. Paul did the same for the
Christians. Christians are obligated to
disassociate when their leaders become too
un-progressive. Booth put up with it for four
years. If ever a moment for action were to arise,
it was Jackson’s unjust removal of MLK. It’s true
that a Captain is responsible for his ship, but
which Captain was more accountable? Therefore,
anyone who insists on remaining Baptist &
simultaneously resists MLK’s church is senseless.
Please, triple check this reasoning to the
extent that PNBC is the least heretical trinitarian
church. Do you see any error, at all, in this
reasoning on the PNBC split? Please, repeatedly
argue the case from the NBCA perspective so you
can be sure. (NBCUSA exposed.) In 1988, the
National Missionary Baptist Convention (NMBC)
split from NBCA. In September 1988, NBCA held a
convention in Dallas while the NBCUSA met in
Fort Worth, "jointly" with them. Afterwards, NBCA
also met at Fort Worth & voted to take away
ownership of their "Congress" from the NBPB,
(finally) kicking out T.H. Boyd III, who is the
owner of the NBPB (with the intent of not
rejoining pnbc.org & that this group of
revolutionaries should cause history to repeat
itself). In November 1988, Boyd founded the
National Missionary Baptist Convention (NMBC).
So in the U.S., there are four black Baptist
conventions that have more than a million people.
The bottom line is that each
Baptist convention that has caused a division
from PNBC is guilty of everlasting death penalty
heresy. On the following page,
Theophilus B. Boyd III (the founder of nmbca.org)
curiously didn't explain why (in 1988) he split
with E. Edward Jones of NBCA:
http://www.rhboydpublishing.com/content/our-history.asp
It's possible to run ahead of a group or to lag
behind. T. B. Boyd III inherited a winning Court
Order from 1915, but haven't his opponents proved
by the immediately supra web page, (wrongly about 1919 that,
afterwards, in 1988) he lagged to the point of
causing dissenting heresies? (NMBC exposed.) So, now, what motive
does their clergy have for not resigning & getting
reappointed in the right religion? Therefore, all
of the clergy of
nationalbaptist.com's President Young,
nbcainc.com's President Tolbert &
nmbca.org's President Davis,
are morally obligated to cooperate with the
transfer of all corporate HQ assets to pnbc.org &
(after a day to be set) to subsequently resign by
letter to pnbc.org's President Perkins with a copy
going to the respective, soon to be defunct,
corporation's ex-President (each of which were
named immediately supra) for the expressed purpose
that every resigning clergy-person who cooperates
with merger may each be reappointed by Perkins
(or as the appropriate pnbc.org committee may otherwise
deem appropriate). In Philly, Richard Allen
formally formed the A.M.E. Church in
1816. In 1821, five years later, AME Zion formed
in NYC. In 1820, in the days of river ferries
& stagecoaches (the Camden to Amboy railroad
didn’t open ‘til 1838), Allen went to NYC &
succeeded in changing the minds of some AME Zion
preachers, i.e. he got some AME Zion preachers to
attend his AME church, instead. Prior to his 1820
visit, he sent William Lambert as the AME
missionary to NYC &, then, Henry Harden, an AME
elder. The AME Zion clergy refused to merge with
the three travelers & committed dissenting heresy
by wickedly accusing them of vague unkindness:
http://docsouth.unc.edu/church/rush/rush.html#rush32
Lu 8:1 indicates that the one who travels is the
one who has the holy spirit. (AME Zion exposed.) 'Til the day he died,
John Wesley remained a priest of the
*Episcopalian* Church. That's what they call
the Church of England in the U.S. (since, in
history, they've had two wars with each other).
In Austrailia, it's called the Anglican Church.
Episcopalians call the King of England their
"supreme head on earth of the Church". George III
lost to Washington in 1783. (George III went on to
defeat Napoleon by Wellington at Waterloo. He knew
some details of the administration of an empire.)
However, all three of Wesley's Episcopalian
bosses, George III, the Archbishop of Canterbury &
the Bishop of London (London) positively ordered
him not to ordain Thomas Coke. (Coincidentally,
three elders constitute a formal discipline
committee.) Wesley chose to break the king's law
because he detected prejudice. But although the
individual members of the committee were
prejudiced against Americans, the committee's
order proved not to be based on any prejudice
whatsoever & the three together proved to be
wiser than Wesley. Wesley ordained Coke (with the
title "Superintendent" in 1784, a year after the
revolutionary war ended) in direct violation of
Heb 13:17 and *the result* was that 10,000
Americans left the Church of England to form the
UMC.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Coke_(Bishop)
Episcopalian Canon II.2 says the King James
Version (AKJV) "is the historic Bible of this
Church".
episcopalarchives.org/CnC_ToC_2009.html
Wesley knew that the AKJV is named a "Version" of
the Bible because James I ordered that it use the
word "Bishop", even though the translators
explained to him that, in Gk, presbyteros really
means elder (and episkopos means overseer).
Wesley's purpose was that Coke would ordain
Francis Asbury in Baltimore (also as a
Superintendent) so that Asbury, in turn, would
ordain priests for Wesley's movement. (Wesley
had gained his older brother Charles' cooperation
by promising him that he would not do so.) Asbury
and Coke convened a conference in Baltimore to
vote to again to violate Heb 13:17 by swapping their
titles from Superintendent to Bishop (which
Wesley had told them was heresy). Although, Wesley
made 30,000 disciples in England and 10,000 in the
U.S., his insubordination caused him to become
guilty of dissention and division, both of which
require excommunication under Ga 5:19-21. Today,
7.3 million Americans in the UMC are guilty of
heresy due to Wesley's insubordination to the
elders of his church. The Methodists refuse to
repent over Heb 13:17. (UMC & AME exposed.) King Henry VIII is the
ultimate villain in the history of domestic
violence. He founded the Episcopalian Church to
brake from Catholic Pope Clement VII so he could
violate ***Mt 19:9*** by divorcing Catherine of
Aragon who had not cheated &, then, beheaded two of
his wives. The result is that, today, 45% of all
U.S. marriages end in divorce and over 80M
people in the world have divided from the Catholic
Church in support of senselessly violating
Mt 19:9. Catherine's parents were Ferdinand and
Isabella. Catherine's first husband, Arthur, died
a year into their marriage. Arthur was Henry's
older brother. Five of Catherine's infants died at
less than two months of age. A Catholic bishop
wrongly advised him that it was because he violated
Le 20:21 (AKJV) - And if a man shall take his brother’s
wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered
his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
(Episcopalians exposed.)

About Oasis Tabernacle Church
3723 Water Av Selma AL is "Oasis Tabernacle Church" (OTC). In (about) 1965, OTC was a Fire Baptized Church. (Ac 8:18) (HQ for fbhchurch.org is presently in Greenville SC, rcalvin1@verizon.net.) OTC subsequently changed to Emmanual Holiness Conference. (HQ for emmanuelconference.org is presently in Opelika AL, Gen Overseer Jeff Mayo). Between 1984 & 1989, OTC changed to Nondenom, the same as John Walter "JW" Hunt who founded scchurch.net in Springfield FL after he left Assemblies of God (which is presently overseen by George O. Wood, generalsuperintendent@ag.org). (Mt 24:45-47; Nu 16; 1Co 10:11; 14:33,36,40; Ge 18:18,19; Ac 15:2,30) About 2004, OTC changed to, & is still, *Independent* Holiness (AKA Nondenom, the same as T.D. Jakes, custservice@tdjakes.org). (Re 20:5; 1Pe 1:16)
OTC is not officially a member of either the Wesleyan Theological Society (WTS) or Christian Holiness Partnership (CHP). Holiness means that OTC has Wesleyan roots (UMC Confession of Faith, Art. XI) in common w/ Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church (Leodis Strong, brownchapel.selma@gmail.com, & Mother Emanuel 110 Calhoun St Charleston SC 29401, Norvel Goff Sr., emanuel@emanuelamechurch.org; (John Bryant, Sr. Bishop, &) Jeffery B. Cooper, Gen Secy/CIO, cio@ame-church.com). Average attendance @ OTC through September 2015 has been ranging between 25 and 32. (OTC has never been New Life Baptist Church.) OTC has dealings with Assemblies of God's All Nations Outreach Ctr (ANOC), but the leader of ANOC, Tim Wynn (anoctampa.com, anoctampa@gmail.com), has changed denominations & enrolled in the SBC's Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary - Tit 3:10).
