8.) Realizing we have been totally blinded by the Constantinian, Roman Flim Flam, we have made a decision to turn our will and our lives back over into the care of God in the way he originally intended. He came to set us free from the very religiosity, traditions of man, pagan rituals, and churchianity that we are blindly guilty of propagating. We realize we are now nothing more than pawns in the hands of a dead Roman Emperor, that being Constantine. We were meant to fellowship and grow through organic, spontaneous, creative means of expanding the Kingdom of God. It is to be grown primarily in the home, and grow out of the home - spontaneously and exponentially. Therefore, we will leave the Institutional Church, the Roman Flim Flam, and in doing so will lead the church back home where it belongs.

5.) We admit to God, to ourselves and to all other human beings the exact nature of our wrongs as it pertains to a deeply regimented control and domination we have held over those we have led. Born under Roman control, this Institutional, Constantinian, Romanist, pagan system has imprisoned the church in dormant spectatorship, and placed us, the pastors, at the center of it all through a performance driven system. This has led far too many to worship pastors rather than God Himself, and made far too many in the church into nothing more than a nameless face in a faceless crowd. We repent, and pledge to lead the church to more intimate, organic forms of spiritual development starting in, and growing out of the home.

1.) We admit we were deceived by legalistic traditions of man, and the lie behind the Constantinian, Roman Flim Flam - the Institutional Church. As a result, our lives and our church have become unmanageable. We admit we have succumbed to a performance driven, legalistic, spectator driven church system. We admit our excessive need to be up front week after week, month after month, year after year. We admit this has caused rampant, dormant spectatorship and large crowds of faceless, nameless people. We admit only a deep spiritual awakening through the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit can deliver us from the insanity of the same old, same old tyranny of the Status Quo, i.e., the Romanistic, Pagan, Babylonian, Nicolaitan, Constantinian ways of the Institutional Church.

We admit we are powerless in and of ourselves to break free of the self-centeredness that has produced a syndrome, an addiction, we now suffer from called NPD: Narcissistic Pastor Disorder.  

 6.) We humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings for we admit we have stripped away the individual priesthood from the whole of God's church. We have siphoned away the empowerment of the church placing it into the hands of the few at the expense of the common good for all. As a result, we admit we robbed the church of its ability to reach its greatest potential. We have held an evil control and domination over the church. We're entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character, to repent of our deep sin, leading the church to take hold of that for which Christ took hold of them. We pledge to return the full empowerment back into the church by leading it back home where the heart is, where it started, and where it belongs.

9.) We have made a list of all persons we have harmed, and are willing to make amends to them all. Yet, we realize with the numbers being what they are, as well as the time on earth being limited, that it may be impossible to do so. Therefore, we lay it all at the cross, and accept the grace and forgiveness of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, for all the sin we have committed as it relates to the church, and our misleading of it as we have. We will continue to take personal inventory and stay clear of any form of unbiblical traditions of man, religiosity, churchianity, or legalistic systems that hinder the free flowing, organic empowerment in the lives of those who have placed their faith in Christ. 

3.) We understand and admit calling a building sitting empty 164 out of 168 hours a week a "church" is totally misleading and coercive. We admit to errantly, erroneously, leading people to think it is a "storehouse" where Christ followers are to bring tithes to - when it stores only empty space. We admit this is deceptive, fraudulent, spiritually abusive, and repent of ever doing it again. We admit that the church, (Body of Christ), should cooperate in unity to use their resources wisely. We admit we have wasted vast resources in building an overabundance of buildings, over $230 Billion in America alone. These buildings sit empty 7 nights a week while the homeless sleep under bridges and on sidewalks. Calling these buildings God's house in light of the previous fact is abhorrent, and we repent of referring to them as God's house ever again.

AMEN!

4.) We have conducted a deep search, and a fearless moral inventory of ourselves regarding the manner we seek to fund this Romanist, Constantinian, Pagan lie we call "church" through a legalistic use of a dead law called the tithe. We are awakened to the fact Christ took this law, and nailed it to the cross. (Colossians 2:14) Further, this Malachi tithe was three tithes with one spread over three years. This makes it 23.3%, not 10% as we have taught. It was also an ancient tax on Israel, not a gift or pledge as we have taught. We admit we have used this manipulatively to get the church to give money. It is spiritually abusive, and we have become MONSTERS in the use of it. We repent of this, and pledge never to return to it again. We admit the tithe is not operative in the present day. From this day forward we will only teach grace based giving where brethren are led to give only as they are led in their heart to give through wisdom and sound judgment.

11.) We seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him through the Holy scriptures, fellowship with other brethren, and pray only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 

12.) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we commit to carry this message to all pastors so they too can be set FREE. We commit ourselves to practice these principles in all our affairs from this day forward.

2.) We admit we have taken the sacred  Lord's Supper, (communion), and denigrated it to a quick handed ritual reduced to a sip of juice and a piece of cracker. Realizing it was meant to be remembered in a full meal setting with open communion of the brethren, confession of sin, and celebration of the Resurrection, we admit we have failed miserably at properly teaching and leading the church to what truly represents the Lord's Supper. We repent of this, and pledge to lead the church toward the full expression of this sacred event in the home through a full meal setting. We release full empowerment into the hands of the brethren without any need to control or dominate through title or ritual.

7.) We humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings as it pertains to denominationalism. We sorrowfully admit it has done nothing more than cause one split after another in the Body of Christ. It is indeed a Great Schism. As a result of the selfish, un-Christlike rights we believed we had to doctrines containing absolutely no transformational power at all, heinous disunity in the Body of Christ has developed spawning over 33,000 denominations. This heinous disunity causes tremendous grief to the Lord Jesus Christ, and is a great hindrance to His prayer in John 17:21.

10.) We sorrowfully realize we imposed a hierarchical system upon the church. This unwarranted foistation on the church is both unbiblical and abusive. This has severely hurt the church for it developed a "clergy-laity" divide with two classes. This has greatly hindered participation, leadership development, creativity, and the need all brethren have to take ownership of, and develop their own ministry. We have usurped empowerment from the church, and repent of any title or officiality that would enforce this divide, or hold back God's people.
