There are well documented FACTS, of cases taken to court where members of Assembly of the First Born have denied medical treatment to children and deaths have resulted.
Some ex members of COTFB would like some answers to these questions. So would I.
http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/1870...
And what about those ex members who have come out realizing they had been subjected to abuses by the very fellowships that were supposed to operate in the love of Jesus?

And...yes, the babies and kids who's blood is crying out from the grave?

If adult members choose not to see a physician for treatment, that choice should be left to them, but innocent children depend on adults to protect and care for them.

Following Jesus admonition therefore:
( people can take it how they want to, but I am suggesting that people had better be VERY careful how they treat little children).

9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18

Who do you serve, Jesus? Or your church's doctrine? And since "faith healing" IS a doctrine pushed and strenuously advocated in this church, it isn't so simple as being merely called "a choice".

Are you not "despising", or disregarding the rights of an innocent baby or little one who can't make that choice for themselves, to allow them to suffer and die for lack of medical treatment when your "faith healing" falls flat?

How many deaths will it take for you all to wake up to the evils in these practices?

And before you start accusing me of unbelief, I am an adult spiritfilled Christian who has prayed for myself, and received major healings by the grace and power of God, but thats me. However, I would NEVER allow a child to go untreated by a physician if I saw IMMEDIATELY that for whatever reason, the child did not receive healing and relief from suffering at once.

When your prayer for healing doesn't seem to be getting results from on HIGH, shouldn't you realize that maybe, just maybe you don't have all that faith you think you do? Or do you just fall back on "fatalism"?

I only wish the general public had a clue as to how many children die from easily treatable and common ailments within this "church". I live amongst these people. Their children die miserable, painful, long suffering deaths from such common ailments as bladder infections, appendicitis and the flu. When a member becomes ill the elders gather round and keep a 24 hr. vigil that is often more of an imprisonment than a prayer vigil. A serious illness is kept very hush-hush for fear an outsider will call authorities. Many adults that wish to see a doctor are prevented from doing so by the ever present church members. And yes, many of them are ready to get medical attention when the pain is severe.
My opinion is YES! This is a cult. Any religious institution that takes away such basic human rights as the right to get medical attention cannot be classified as anything else.
