Church Planting, Technology & Culture
4 May
“The Apostolic Church is probably the only truly orthodox church. We teach the apostles doctrine from the original 12 apostles. We do not follow post-apostolic teachings,” said Bishop Joel David Trout. “For example, we are not a classic Trinitarian church, where there are three separate and co-equal, co-eternal persons. We believe there is only one God. He was manifest in the flesh as Jesus. We reject the idea that God the Father was revealed in Jesus. We reject people inserting language besides how God describes God. People don’t understand the trinity. It is extra-biblical.” Bishop Trout went on to tell me that “Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are an amalgamation of paganism with Christianity that was not part of the first-century church. If they want to continue the traditions of Peter, then do so. They have extra-biblical teachings.”

Where did God say that you need to have a dress code for worship?
By the sounds of it, their dress code is not the most critical thing for them to be worrying about…
Do u mind teaching me how u indented the category list? hope u can come over my blog and teach me in my forum…thank you very much
A. Preston,
It’s not a dress code but to let people know what people wear so they are comfortable if they visit.
No intention to be challenging or disagreeable -it just struck me that effective spiritual comfort and support is not necessarily associated with the comfort of societal norms. Luke 14:41 God Bless :)
You are welcome to come as you are. You’re attire is not going to make a difference on what you receive from God. The comment that was made about the attire was just a statement of what most people choose to wear, not a commandment. That’s not what’s important. What is important, is, if you don’t know Jesus, come and build a relationship w/Jesus, because He loves you. Pray for us and we’ll pray for you.
It iseems like his whole attitude is we are in Gods kingdom and everone else is out…. He should also read church history.
I have yet to visit Bishop Trout in California, but I have watched several of North Park’s services online. I have found them to be quite a blessing, and I compared what he preached to the Bible…he was on the money!
My concern is that many churches have stopped preaching against sin and that there is only one way to be born again through Jesus. Satan has put so much confusion in the churches today it is no wonder people don’t go, plus sin is not being denounced from the pulpit because of political correctness. Nowadays, if I preach against sodomy, drunkeness, and adultery, I am considered a bigot and a prude; if I denounce the teachings of other religions and point folks to Jesus, I am branded a hatemonger, a cult leader, and intolerant. I would rather be called those things and be saved than to become like Billy Graham, who is so liberal he tells folks they can go to heaven without Jesus.
I thank God for brave men like Bishop Trout who will preach the sound word of God in this present generation!
Hey does anyone know what happened to Bishop Tout? because when I went on their website, it seemed like he wasn’t the pastor anymore
I believe Bishop Trout is indeed an anointed preacher that Gos has raised up for such a time as this to tell it like it is
I’m very saddened by what happened to Bishop Trout. God’s use of Trout as a vessel was amazing and I will always remember and respect his teachings, because in the end of it all, it was God’s Word coming out of his mouth. I’ve learned that we are all susceptible to fall out the grace of God and that we should be diligent.
California
if you don’t mind me asking, Cakifornia what happend to Bishop Trout?
Yes, I was wondering what happened as well. So Rashard, what happened?
I don’t know, I was asking California what happend? because they said that they were saddend by what happend to him.
I don’t see any of his archives on there anymore either I just oray that everything’s alright.
Bishop Trout is doing fine.
We all love and miss him, continue to keep him and the North Park family in prayer. You will see and hear from him again!
God Bless
what happend to pastor trout? Is he sick or something? Every mention of his name has been removed for the wensite along with all his sermons? Whats going on?
yes the Lord Bless you as well NPAC Member
II wonder that too, just hope everything is ok with him
To those of you that do not know and I don’t know why NPAC Members on this board hasn’t just came out with the Truth. Bishop Joel David Trout and The Former First Lady Talesa are no longer married.
Bishop Trout has remarried someone else and from what I learned on the INTERNET has started another church called something along the lines of World Redemption - just goggle his name.
I had a terrible experience in an Apostolic Church!
Apostolic churches are an occult. Don’t be fooled. Yes they know the word of God but they are cunning and twist it to suite their needs for control of their members. Lots of shady activity there. Now Bishop Trout seems to be a good man but he has fallin several times. Apostolics think that they are the chosen. That they are better than any other religion. When the role is called up yonder there will be a lot of disappointed Apostolics in hell for their judgementalism, sexual abuse of members, psychological abuse, and so many other things that are happening in those churches. Pray for these people because they have truly got the whole thing wrong. Some of the members don’t even study the word. They just take the Apostolic pastors word for it. Trusting blindly. Pray for them they are truly either the beginning of an occult or quickly on their way.
Concerned San Diego
Our vision so to reach whole andhrapradesh through church plating. We have an vision to buy 400 sq.yards which costs $ 400000 for land as well as construction.Which seating capacity 2000 beleivers.We are looking for good sposnors those who want to sponsor for this great task.
We are running an “Gospel Divine Vision Ministries” since 1998 with a vision an mission for save souls by promoting International Evangelists for india through thier projects, crusades, preaching in the form of every media oepnair crusades those who have vision for india or those who not yet opened proper channel to preach in crusades for them we are working our level best to bring them to India if they like to host an crusades for them we have dedicated to coordinate and promote them.
In fact we are hindus with strong religious background family visiting temples, breaking coconuts and performing poojas as order of the day and to have a peace life. After some time and all of sudden several problems have creeped into our family which could not be solved by them resulting in dwindling of peace in the family. To avoid these problems such as (frequently accidents, falling sick, debts etc) and peace to be restored we have visited some historical temples and offered poojas and vrathams and all were proved waste. We were asked to go to Famous temples so all our problems would be settled and lot of peace restored without fail my daddy friends said in his office known as Bharat Heavy electricals Limited.
To get rid of these problems some how and insisted by some of the people around us we have gone to temples. While we are proceeding to temples vigorously a feeble voice was heard My my Mother very clearly why you are worshipping these are only stones, nothing is there in that it was said.based on the voice heard by My mother on temple must be from true God who crucified and killed on the cross for our sins of the people he is Jesus and nothing else. According all family members repented in our hearts and received jesus as our personal saviour and God and had baptism on 10-2-1991.
After coming to Jesus our Lord God: After baptism our problems cited above were got settled peacefully and had become the follower of Jesus, doing evangelism, preaching Gospel on the roads/streets by challenging Jesus only true God. As we were doing so on one fine morning one Big iron hook double sided one attached to an iron rod was descending from upwards in an hanging position when my daddy( Pastor.Sathyam) was on bed looking up around on 1-3-1997 at 7.00 Am. He was trembled to see with fear that what would happen. Accordingly it has come to him was there in front of his bed in hanging position atleast 10 seconds then disappeared.
On meditations further to know about the cause of the vision it has been revealed later on Jeremiah 1:10/2 Cor 10:5,6,7) a new ministry like “Gospel Divine Vision Ministries appeared in front of my Daddy( Pastor Sathym) in a miraculous way. As such the above ministry is now functioning effectively by conducting Conventions , Revival meetings, Indorr/Outdoor evangelism, Feeding the poor, Children Homes, school , helping the poor, digging borewells,Distributing Gospel Message tracts. To Go forward we are unable to met all fiancial needs for all Gods Services.

For the record about Bishop Joel Trout, he is doing fine and HE DID NOT REMARRY! He is happily married to his first and only wife. Touch not thy anointed!
Only God keeps the records, would YOU like to POST the TRUTH of why Bishop Joel Trout is no longer the Pastor of NPAC. No one is touching anything, people from across the world FAITHFULLY paid tithes and offerings to NPAC when he was the Pastor and now that he’s no longer there - no one has ANYTHING to say. I will always have much love for Bishop Joel David Trout and I’m quite certain God will use him in a Mighty way like never before, however ……
To hurt by apostolics,
Let me be the first to say I apologize that you were hurt by apostolics and what the hurt has caused you to think about us as a people. It is never anyone’s intention to cause hurt to anyone but it does happen. We hurt Christ everyday by not living the way he has instructed us to live.
Hebrews 6
4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
*FOCUS is on the latter of verse 6 and it says
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing the crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Meaning everytime we fall back into sin we tell God what you did on Calvary didn’t do anything to help us as individuals.
God never takes is out on us when we go back and do the things that he called us out of. He never takes his love or denies us what he promised to us. His grace and his mercy is always following us even when we don’t want to be followed. He is protecting us even when we don’t want his protection.
And you know the thing about is, you will probably hurt me with your response…that’s the chance that I take in writing this to you and all others who feel they have been mistreated by the people of God. If you knew me as an individual you would know that my apology is truly sincere and that my hope and prayer for you is to find it in your heart to forgive us.
Why is it that people need to know about what happen at NPAC. If you really need to know about this church you should have been there when it all happen, so since you were not there……..it is not your business. Mind your on own affairs. This is the reason the JUST as well as the UNJUST are not bless. We are not perfect, we all have issues, and if YOU don’t, pray for the rest of us. That’s what God want us to do……Forgive. If it’s wrong God will make it right.
