THAT WHICH IS PERFECT  by Dr. Fred Wittman
About This Paper: When the author was principal of The Australian Bible Seminary and editor of the quarterly publication titled Hermeneuō quite a number of years ago, a letter was received from a pastor who objected and took exception to the doctrinal statement of one of our churches. He expressed his objection concerning the interpretation of “that which is perfect” (1 Corinthians 13:8). He stated,
         “Verse 13:8 ff in 1 Corinthians says nothing about The New Testament, but is referring to Christ as the perfect one and the gifts will pass away when He comes.”
    Just what does the phrase “that which is perfect” refer to? And can one be sure of its meaning or is it up in the air for grabs? This paper carefully deals with these questions in the light of Scripture and the meaning of “perfect,” the grammar, syntax, context, the term used elsewhere in Scripture, the term in the light of Progressive Revelation and the culture of the people to whom it was written, with special attention paid to the Greek word translated ‘perfect.’
    ‘Happy Heralds’ has received numerous e-mails that have indicated a lack of understanding of the miraculous gifts. In addition to the explanation that was given fourteen years ago some additional vital information has been included in this paper. Thus this was updated for multi-use in the realm of Ecclesiology, Hermeneutics, and Interpretation of Scripture.

THE BIRTH OF THE TRUE CHURCH  by Dr. Fred Wittman
About This Study: There is much concern today about the time of origin of The True Church belonging to The Lord Jesus Christ. When did His True Church begin? Some churches claim that the church began in the wilderness of Sinai and cite Acts 7:38 as a proof text. Other churches claim that the church began with the baptism of John the Baptizer. But Scripture indicates that The True Church belonging to The Lord Jesus Christ began at Pentecost on Sunday, 6 Sivan (May 24) A.D. 33.
      The author demonstrates that in Scripture Luke explained that Jesus proved Himself to be alive for forty days (Acts 1:1-11) after His resurrection-ascension (Jn.20:14-18). Then it is noted that Luke described what took place during the eleven days following His second ascension to abiding in Heaven at the right Hand of His Father. Thirdly, what took place following Pentecost. Finally, three observations concerning the birth of The True Church are noted.
      This study of ecclesiology is included for the perusal of interested persons, Bible students, and study by those who desire to be co-builders with The Lord Jesus Christ in building His True Church worldwide by concentrating and cooperating with Him in planting local churches as offspring of His Church that began at Pentecost on Sunday, 6 Sivan (May 24) A.D. 33.

THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR BUILDING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST'S CHURCH  by Dr. Fred Wittman
About This Study: When he realized that it was The God's will for him and his wife to go to Australia to plant local churches as manifestations of The True Church belonging to The Lord Jesus Christ, the author undertook an intensive study of The Scriptures to fully understand all that is written concerning the scope of The God's Plan and Purpose for Building The Lord Jesus Christ's Worldwide Church and the various multifunctions of the members of the local church. He observed eight aspects of The God's Plan and Purpose for His Son to build His Church and twenty multifunctions of the members of a local church belonging to The Lord Jesus Christ's Worldwide True Church. As a result of this study the author had gathered the elements of The God's plan into a full complement to be used in planting local churches in Australia. This complement included these nine aspects: The Mystery . . ., The Materialization . . ., The Manifestation . . ., The Motives . . ., The Manner . . . , The Message . . ., The Mandate . . ., The Mobilization . . ., and The Means for building His Worldwide True Church. Additionally the study of ecclesiology is extended to include twenty multifunctions of the members of local churches belonging to The Lord Jesus Christ's True Church. This study of ecclesiology also overlaps into the realm of missions and is included for the perusal and study by those who desire to be co-builders with The Lord Jesus Christ in building His True Church worldwide by concentrating and cooperating with Him in planting local churches as offspring of His Church

II. THE MATERIALIZATION OF THE GOD'S PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR BUILDING THE TRUE CHURCH

HAVE YOU GOT THE GIFT?
About This Book: Shortly after establishing a base of operations in Australia, a young pastor asked Dr. Wittman to write a pamphlet on The Scriptural teaching concerning the emphasis being placed on the supernatural manifestation of The Holy Spirit. A period of time in hospital and recuperation from orthopedic surgery provided time to compile this pamphlet of which thousands of copies have been distributed. Since the supply has been depleted, a reprint has been requested. An edited update manuscript has been created for reprint, a copy of which is included for download is offered here.

THE ORDINANCE OF HONOR
About This Paper: This paper deals with the Oral Precept ("Ordinance" AV) of Honor which Paul delivered over to The Corinthians (1 Cor. 11:2-15) along with the Ordinance of the Lord's Supper in the same chapter (11:23-26). This Ordinance of Honor and the reasons therefor with the when, the why, and the how are clearly explained based upon the Order of Headship. The exposition of the passage of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 includes the origin of humans, the observation of humility, the object of hair, and the obstinate ones hushed while the obedient ones are honoring The God, their Ultimate Head. It is pointed out that the basic problem which is so often overlooked in studying the whole context of the book is contention which prevailed in the church at Corinth (1:10-13; 3:1-7; 4:6,7,18-21; 6:1-7; 11:16; 14:33). The main reason to observe the Ordinance is to bring Glory to The God
