About Grace and Truth Ministries
Jim and Mary Brown
I have been preaching and teaching Bible for over 50 years. In 1957, I began studying the scriptures diligently after graduating from high school. In 1980, God began dealing with me, bringing me to what I believed was my deathbed in 1985.
In the hospital, I awoke near death crying out to God, "Lord, You are going to kill me if I don't quit living for myself and saying all the truth in my power!!!"
Thereafter, I began to say these blunt plain words that appeal to the elect sheep. As a result, I began to make more enemies than I could have ever imagined. I was sick and tired of the “mush” gospel that churches were preaching.
My family was confused, and on many occasions on the way home from church, my wife would say, "he said such-and-such last week and he said this-and-that this week contradicting what he said the previous week." I began to say to my wife Mary, "don't listen to the preacher, because he doesn't know what he’s talking about." Finally, I said, "this is a waste of time! We are going home. We are not going to these churches anymore. I will teach you from our home."
Nearly thirty years ago, we started Grace and Truth Ministries which included my wife, son and one other young man.

God Has Chosen
Romans 8:29​-30 - "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."

Foreknow - to have a personal intimate relationship beforehand.

God predetermined that all who belonged to him before the foundation of the world were to "conform" to the word of God in obedience to Christ.

All that were predestined were "called", "justified", and "glorified" (past tense verbs). These were fixed in the mind of God before the world began. (Ephesians 1:4; Acts 13:48​; II Thessalonians 2:13​). The election of the saints is unto accountability (I Peter 1:2).

The majority of the protestant church held to this doctrine during the reformation. It is the foundation of "The London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689". You Baptists are supposed to be believing it and you've discarded this precious doctrine of Grace !!!

Thanks for sharing this one... it's one worth listening again!

I love how Pastor Jim teaches by repetition, because that is how we, as humans learn best! I find myself listening to messages again and again, when suddenly something really clicks; the puzzle pieces that I have wondered about since being a little girl, suddenly fit together so logically and perfectly! Thank you so very much, Jim and all of you guys!

What a cutie pie that grandson is, such a kind heart. I too was mixed up with that Pentecostalism tongue speaking foolishness. I thought (that's what my problem was "I thought") if I didn't have a prayer language then I didn't have a true relationship with the Lord, and I felt not saved! This thinking came from the teachings of the Charismatic & Pentecostal Churches I had attended before the Lord had brought me to His Truth through Pastor Jim. I had been diagnosed with cancer, I didn't have long to live since the cancer was moving fast, even though I had been water baptized, I still felt I wasn't saved. And being told that it was the Devil that was attacking my body. I was all confused and felt lost. Since learning the truth and seeing what we were being told in the churches was TOTAL LIES. My Son and I had walk away completely from the lies and the twisting of the Word of God. We are thankful for everything (good & bad) for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you - Us/Church/Flock/Bride the Chosen Elect of God. We love you Pastor Jim and are very thankful for all that you do for the true believers, much agape and phileo to you and Mary and Staff and to all of our Brethren forevermore.

Jim it’s horrible when Pentecostals say that if you don’t speak in ‘tongues’ you don’t have the Holy Spirt and aren’t born again.

Why was Paul told to go get baptized after his sight had returned?

Just watched your video saying most people are going to hell, such an evil statement, it doesn't even claim anything like this in the bible if all you believe is the bible.
