In this article, we aim to examine the topic of church order, conduct and behavior at Golden Dawn Tabernacle and compare it to William Marrion Branham's (WMB) teachings on how churches should conduct themselves. By highlighting the inconsistencies we have identified, we urge GDT members to consider why Isaac Noriega does not fully adhere to William Branham's teachings. We must note that this article does not intend to endorse William Branham's teachings. Instead, we employ a cross-examination approach to better comprehend and document the areas where Golden Dawn Tabernacle's church conduct deviates from his teachings.

Pastor Isaac Noriega

Isaac Claims He Takes What WMB Teaches Back to The Word

We wanted to share the below recording of Isaac Noriega claiming that he only follow's William Branham's teachings when they align with The Word (Bible). We are sharing this to give Isaac the benefit of the doubt but we will demonstrate by his actions in how he conducts church order at GDT, how he has chosen to cherry pick only the things that he teaches to benefit him, and ignore the teachings that do not benefit him, even if they are biblically sound. Despite what he claims, Isaac will always quote William Branham (as a second Bible) when it is convenient for him. As discussed in our Church Rules article, Isaac has made up some ridiculous rules that the congregants must follow, such as requiring men to shave, and not wear wedding bands, because William Branham told him so (even though there is absolutely no biblical basis for these rules at all).

Isaac Noriega Recording

Note: In this recording, Isaac also claims that he has the Seven Seals revelation and implies that others don't even come close to his revelation.

Questioning and Challenging Pastor Isaac Noriega

Our first topic of discussion concerns the issue of confronting Isaac Noriega and his inability to accept criticism. According to numerous reports from current and former church members, as well as those who have spoken to him personally, Isaac has a history of condemning individuals who confront him by telling them that they have an evil spirit and are bound for hell.

Isaac tries to give the impression that everything he says from the pulpit is divinely inspired. However, we know this to be untrue based on the fact that some of the deacons and trustees he himself appointed were found to be living in sin. If these individuals were truly appointed by God, then how could they be living in sin or have hidden sin?

It appears that Isaac has a power complex where he sees himself as the ultimate authority, and his word is law. This mentality leads him to go against scriptural teachings, the teachings of William Branham, and ethical standards.

What is the biblical perspective on an individual's character?

Proverbs 11:2: When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom

Proverbs 21:24: “Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his names, Who acts with insolent pride.

Galatians 6:3: For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

William Branham's Teachings on Questioning and Challenging the Pastor

63-1226 - "Church Order"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

7 "And then I’d expect you brethren, at any time that you see me to get away from this Scripture, to come to me privately and tell me where I’m wrong. I don’t care if you’re one of the trustees or the…or if you’re the janitor, whoever you are, you’re duty bound to me, as a brother in Christ, to tell me when I’m wrong Scripturally. If there’s a question, let’s set down and solve it out, together…"

90 "You don’t want to get like Oswald. See? If you can’t disagree with a man and things, and then shake his hand and still have the same feelings towards him, then there’s something wrong with you. If I can’t disagree with a man (bitterly, from one side to the other) and still think as much of him as—as Christ would, then there’s something wrong with my spirit, I haven’t the Spirit of Christ. See?"

91 "If he says, “Well, Brother Branham, I—I believe that your teaching is this, that.”"

92 “All right, brother, let’s come together to reason, you and I. We’ll take it ourselves. We’ll go over here in the room to ourself, we’ll reason it out.” And he just cuts me to pieces, and I have to say things back to him. If in my heart I can’t feel the same about him, that “he’s still my brother and I’m trying to help him,” then I’ll never help him, there’s no way for me to help him. If I don’t love him, what’s the use of going over there? Tell him, “The first place first, Brother, I don’t love you, and let me get that out of my heart right here before we go in there, because I can’t help you until I love you.”

93 "And that’s right, and that’s the way. See, carry it on, you’ve done it exactly right, that’s the way it should be. You never misunderstood it."

This also raises the question of why Isaac refuses to engage with anyone who questions about church order and conduct. William Branham advises people to work out their issues together, but Isaac chooses not to follow this advice. Instead, anyone who approaches Isaac with questions or concerns about his teachings, church order and conduct is publicly ostracized. The irony is that Isaac claims that he wants the congregants to come to him with their concerns, but he then retaliates against them and black lists them for having questions and concerns. We have received numerous reports and testimonies from church members who have been affected by Isaac's attempts to psychologically break down those whom he perceives as opposing him.

Church Requirement for Pastor, Trustee and Deacon Elections

It has been more than a decade since Golden Dawn Tabernacle members were allowed to vote for individuals in the ministry, such as associate pastors, elders, deacons, and trustees. Instead, Isaac has taken it upon himself to handpick individuals. As mentioned earlier, it is evident that these men were not appointed by God, but merely because Isaac favored them. At least four individuals appointed as deacons or trustees by Isaac have been demoted due to "foul play," and it appears that another newly appointed trustee may also face demotion due to secretly gambling and drinking which is against the Church Rules. The fact that these demotions were not communicated to the church suggests that Isaac is too proud to admit his mistake in selecting individuals for these positions. Perhaps if Isaac had allowed God to move through the congregation via church elections to choose the elders, deacons, and trustees, he would not be facing such dilemmas. It is also worth noting that Isaac claimed that he could not be voted in or out as he was the founding pastor of the church. Let us examine William Branham's teachings on pastors, deacons, trustees and teacher appointments.

63-1226 - "Church Order"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

71 There you are, that’s up to you to vote your own teachers in. And you ought to do that, put them in there, get somebody. And meet with the church, and say, “Who’s…Who here feels led of the Lord?” And then get a qualified teacher. And then let it be done. It’s got to be strictly business, brethren. If the teacher can’t qualify to it, then change teachers.

72 When the time comes, as under God, if I feel like that Orman Neville can’t no more qualify to be pastor here, I’m going to mention it to the church. When I’d see one thing here, think that you deacons couldn’t qualify to be deacons, I’m going to mention it to the church, that, “I find out there’s a certain deacon out here doing something he shouldn’t do, and he doesn’t keep his post of duty,” and so forth like that, or a trustee or whatever it is. I can’t vote it in or out, the church has to do that, but I’m certainly going to present it before the church. See, because that’s what it should do.

58-0720E - "The Placing Of Deacons"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

1 "And, that is, that the first is the placing some deacons into the church. And our little church here is sovereign. It doesn’t have any denomination or anything to send its deacons, it elects its own deacons. It elects its pastor, it elects its trustees, it elects everything that comes in and out of the church. No one person has the say-so over anything, it’s the church. And the church are those who come and support the church with their presence, with their tithe and offerings, are always the ones that has legal say-so in the placing of such."

As mentioned in our recent Church Leadership article, having elections is biblically sound and is followed by many churches. Acts 6:3-6 says: 

3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Our question to Isaac is: William Branham's teachings on church elections lines up with the Bible, so why don't you follow these teachings?

Requirement to Address Complaints & Questions about Finances

Let us examine the recent complaints that have been raised about Isaac Noriega. As discussed in several of our recent articles, there are concerns about how he spends and utilizes the church's funds. It appears that Isaac is using the church's money to lend or give to individuals he favors. He has also invested church funds in repairing and selling houses for profit. He does this without any accountability to the church. Additionally, he claims that he does not take a salary from the church's tithing income. We would like to challenge the members of Golden Dawn Tabernacle to question Isaac and demand evidence and accountability of where the church money is actually going. The congregants contribute tithings to the church and therefore have the right to know how their donations are being utilized. Isaac has used his authoritative power to control the finances and intimidate people from asking questions. However, we must ask ourselves, what did William Branham say about church transparency and finances? Did he encourage the hiding of the spending habits and funds from the church, or did he openly disclose them for everyone to see?

63-1226 - "Church Order"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

113 "…Now, when there is a complaint on anything pertaining to the finances of this church, it’s duty bound to the trustees to see that thing is cleared. See? There should not, by any means, be anything….But get it done right, see, so that this complaint will stop. We don’t want no complaints at all. If there is a complaint, let’s take care of it, then we have it over with."

59-0712 - "A Total Deliverance"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

54 Now, if the church board, or like the—the deacons, would come and say that we were to…thinking we should build a new tabernacle. If that is the vote of the deacons, and the trustees are consulted and they don’t have the money to do it, then they have a building program like we have going on now. And then it’s took over the general audience, as we should be, all the church being sovereign. Then if the church votes for the new tabernacle, then we all should cooperate together in building that new tabernacle.

55 Frankly, myself, when they spoke of new tabernacle, to me, I was against the thought. That’s right. I said, “We don’t need exactly a new tabernacle. I’ll probably be leaving here pretty soon, as the Lord…if it what He show me comes to pass. What do we need with a new tabernacle? We haven’t got the money.”

56 Then I come down and felt the feeling of the church, that the church, in the majority, seemed to want it. Then what did I do? I sacrificed my own thoughts and throwed in with the church. Sure, let’s do it. If…That’s the way we cast lots, that’s the way was in the Bible time, the way the church voted. The—the sovereignty, the groups of the people, they come together. In unity there is strength. So, therefore, I said, “Certainly, if that’s the way the church wants, if that’s what God is wanting, He’s got more of authority to vote among a whole group of people than He has to me, because I have no vision to say that it shouldn’t be.” So we throw in with the church, and move with the church. And I’m behind it, to do all that I can, see, to help out the church.

57 That should be the motive of every Christian and every person in the church, is for to unify ourselves and stick together. Whatever the church votes for, that’s what we should stand for. Then say, for instance, the…want to change something in the church. Well, then, if the trustees wants to, the…somebody else wants to, the deacons, they want to change something, that comes before the church, the church then together. And if our—if our idea here seems to be a little different than what the whole church said, let’s sacrifice that idea, because that’s the only way we can stand united. And if this church will just go on the way you’re going now, and be united together, God will…It’s unlimited, what He’ll do, if we’ll stick together. We must stick together. That’s how we want to be, so complete with one another, and then so complete in the hands of God.

Does the lack of transparency and accountability by Isaac Noriega and the church leadership reflect a culture of dishonesty and lack of integrity? Do these actions go against scripture and what William Branham taught??

2 Corinthians 8:21 says "Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men."

Paul is telling the Corinthians that not only should we be honest and have integrity, but we should also avoid an appearance of wrongdoing. Paul's aim, stated in this verse, is to faithfully do what is honorable in the sight of the Lord, as well as in the sight of others. You can read more about the context of this verse here.

How Long Church Services Should Be

The length of church services is the final topic regarding church order that we would like to discuss. Church services typically are over 3.5 to 4 hours long and are held 3 times a week. In addition, congregants are required to get to church half an hour early in accordance to William Branham's teachings. The majority of the congregation feels that the services are too long, and it is unreasonable to make them stand for over an hour reading scriptures. Isaac does scold the congregants and says that if he can do it, they can too, but he neglects to mention that he stands on a cushioned pad with air vents blowing directly on him. He also does not mention that he has been doing this for over 40 years, is not employed elsewhere, and is fully rested for each service. Additionally, the congregants are standing at an angle due to the auditorium's downward slope, making it even more challenging to stand for extended periods.

After standing for over an hour reading the Bible, they must then sit still for over two to three hours and listen to Isaac's monotonous sermon. Some argue that Isaac does not even preach anymore, but rather reads out-of-context quotes and goes on angry rants. This makes it difficult to understand the doctrine he teaches, causing many to be lost after the first 20 minutes. As a result, people start daydreaming, unable to comprehend what they hear, and simply shut down and endure. It is essential to remember that a tactic from the BITE model is to wear out and mentally exhaust the victim, which seems to be the case here. Many do not have the time or energy to think critically. While Isaac may defend the length of the services by stating that people in the world sit through movies or ballgames for hours on end, he fails to mention that they do not give their full attention at these events and are free to get up and move around and in some cases have a meal. They also often have intermissions to give people a break. What does William Branham say about keeping church services for longer than an hour?

63-1226 - "Church Order"
Rev. William Marrion Branham
Source: http://table.branham.org

159 "Now, the first thing I want to make here is a confession. And when I’m wrong, I want to admit “I’m wrong.” See? And I—and I—I’ll make a confession here that “I am kind of the leader of that.” Because it’s been me holding these long services and things, is what got the church into this routine, see, of doing so, BUT IT SHOULDNT BE. And now, remember, I have…I am…Was telling you all, “Sunday night, if the Lord willing, on Sunday night, that, I’m trying to allot my services from henceforth, if I have to stay a week extra, to about thirty or forty minutes at the longest for my services.”

160 "Because I have found this, that a service that’s…It stands up, and the message is given in the power; if you go too far, YOU WEAR THE PEOPLE OUT AND THEY DONT GET IT. The reason I been giving…I knowed that all along. See? The most successful speakers are those who have exactly…JESUS WAS A MAN OF FEW WORDS, just read his sermons. Watch Paul’s sermons. On the Day of Pentecost, probably taken him fifteen minutes, and he punched the…there, something that—that—that sent three thousand souls into the Kingdom of God. See, just right straight to the spot. See?"

161 "And I—I am guilty. Because, the reason I have done this, not because I didn’t know different, but I’m making tapes, see, and these tapes will be played in houses for hours after hours after hours. But as you will find out, the coming Sunday, the reason that I have done it, this coming Sunday, the reason I have done these things…I might say it right now on the tape. The reason that I have did this is because of this tremendous weight upon me for the Message of this hour, to get It out. NOW THE MESSAGE IS OUT, now I’m taking a thirty minutes or something like that, after the first of the year, in my meetings out in the…everywhere I go, and try and even set my watch to a thirty minute, or not over forty at the most; punch to that Message, and make the altar call if I…or whatever I’m going to do, or call a prayer line; and not take that much time, because you do wear the people out. I know that…

199 “Now, as we’ll stand now for dismissing.” See, and you haven’t been over about a hour and forty-five minutes in the whole thing. See? See, a hour and thirty minutes, your service is over. You’ve had the little, quick punch; you—you give it what it’s done; you’ve done the…and everybody’s satisfied, and go home feeling good. See? If you don’t, then, you see, if you let…See, you—you—you mean well, see, but see…"

Summary

GDT members, it is essential to remember that William Branham stated that "THE MESSAGE IS OUT." Do not let Isaac deceive you by claiming that he has a new message to deliver, justifying the lengthy services, and disregarding church order. Such claims would make him a new prophet, which we know is false. Moreover, remember that these quotes from William Branham are readily available for you to verify. If Isaac attempts to challenge this article, he would be contradicting his own beliefs and teachings. This would place himself and his words above those of William Branham, which begs the question: Does Isaac Noriega believe The Message? We offer the very strong possibility that he does not and is just cherry picking the teachings that he can use to increase his control over the church.

Even if one does not believe in The Message, this post still serves the purpose of exposing how Isaac selectively applies and uses William Branham's teachings. This is a problem because he can use the message to justify his rules and actions, especially if people are not familiar with its teachings. However, as shown in this article, Isaac merely uses them as a smokescreen and does not truly follow all of William Branham's teachings, especially the ones that require ethical accountability and transparency to the congregation. In the upcoming articles, we will explore further examples of this behavior and inconsistencies with The Message.

Wow this article is an eye opener Isaac never touches on these quotes of Bro Branham. I can say from personal experience that he does not follow any of these! Especially the part where we have to stand and read the Bible for an hour it is very exhausting having to hold little ones and have the same scriptures read over and over always starting from Genesis and working our way through the Bible and finishing in Revelations.

Ex GD Member — March 11, 2023#

Isaac is using the BITE model when he keeps you standing for an hour reading scriptures from Genesis to Revelations. When Isaac tell you to write the scriptures down and study them, he knows that’s all you’ll have time to study between then and the next service. Therefor you really don’t have time search the Bible for yourself. Controlling what you read and how you understand the Bible through his narrative.

Jaimes — March 11, 2023#

Este es puro mentiras. El Hermano Isaac ha predicado todo estos cintas. No tiene ningun intendimiento del Mensaje. No mas esta garando cintas para “probar” tu punto. Los miembros del Tabernaculo Emanuel estan riendo de estos articulos.

Ex GD Member — March 11, 2023#

The BITE model is also why you are shocked by these quotes. These quotes are in the exact message Isaac used when he ordained the new trustees a couple weeks ago. But he failed to mention these. Instead, he cherry-picked what he wanted you to think WMB said about church conduct.

Jamie, en realidad la mayoría de nosotros en Tabernaculo Emanuel estamos cansados del pastor Isaac Noriega. La mayoría de nosotros estamos de acuerdo en que ya debería jubilarse

1990s GDT MEMBER — March 11, 2023#

Does Isaac really choose the trustees himself? You people are clueless. I don’t go to church there anymore, but it was my choice. Those people are solid in what they believe and Isaac is very upfront and explained everything when I was there for the elections. And yes, they were elections to choose the candidates. I was there for a few year and never heard one sermon over two hours. What are you people trying to do? It is very obvious the solid people of Golden Dawn are not interested in this. You have been promoting vandalism and hate to the congregation. Is that Christ like? Isaac did much to help many of your parents when they first came. You people sound miserable. Go live your “happy” lives.

A lot has changed in the last 30 years. Isaac isn’t the same person he use to be. No elections are done and haven’t been done in over a decade. Isaac simple chooses by himself who he wants in those positions. We can understand it’s hard for you to believe this is actually true because it contradicts the Bible and Bro Branhams teachings, but it’s all true.

Be Set Free — March 12, 2023#

Where is your assigned seat? Wait, I thought smart phones were not allowed at Golden Dawn? Maybe you can confess to that false prophet that you used technology to create this comment. William Branham and Isaac Noriega are liars and warlocks, men who uphold themselves as Godly ,yet hide behind their lies and false sense of security.

Revelation 21:8 (KJV) claims “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

You are a liar and the power that church holds over people is sorcery. But, there is grace, Jesus Christ saves. Not the Jesus Christ William Branham or Isaac Noriega preaches. They have perverted the gospel in which was intended for ALL to hear. For there is freedom in Christ and what you believe and stand for is bondage.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Set Yourself and Others Free — March 12, 2023#

If you read your Bible you would know the truth because the truth sets you free.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬

You are in bondage! Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior not William Branham and not Isaac Noriega. Nobody is promoting vandalism or hate. People need to know the truth, and the truth is Jesus Christ and in all reality, the Word is Jesus Christ.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What the “The Message” produces are principalities that hold individuals in chains. This institution as a whole is absolutely demonic, and either you are blinded or you are a liar who knows the truth yet you choose not to fight against it.

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I pray that this institution, Golden Dawn Tabernacle and the man-made doctrine “The Message” will be exposed, and that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanse your eyes of this sorcery. I pray nothing but freedom in your life and in the lives of those who are affected by this. My heart breaks for you and all.

Chad — March 13, 2023#

I go to a church in Ohio and ran across this website. Do you believe Rev. William Branham or not? Very confusing. There’s things calling him a false prophet, then now you are quoting him. How many messages of the prophet were 45 minutes? What about quotes like this?

“If the pastor preaches over twenty minutes, the trustee board calls him over into the room and say, “Looky here, pastor. We–we didn’t bring you here to do something like that. We have twenty-minutes program. When that’s over, let her go.” What he needs to do is kick that bunch of trustees out the door, and take the Bible and preach all night, like Paul did, and see the resurrection of the dead. Exactly. They put him out of the building; the street corner is all right. “God is able of these stones…” 63-0119 THE.WAY.OF.A.TRUE.PROPHET_ PHOENIX.AZ

Or if you really read the message you will see Branham had the vote in the beginning of his ministry, but it became a thing of favoritism. So later he would have the board select candidates, he would tell the church then a week later would inaugurate them if the church didn’t have anything to say about it. My cousin goes to golden dawn and tells me this is exactly how Bro. Noriega does it. I really hope you people are just running down a man that’s all.

My Eyes Are Being Opened — March 13, 2023#

Chad, can you provide quotes where Bro. Branham says the deacon board does the selecting? if not, thats ok. if so, Great! It will only prove the way Bro. Isaac does it isn’t correct. I currently attend Golden Dawn and a few weeks ago when Bro. Isaac appointed new trustees into office he told us at the end of service he had some brothers he wanted to present to us as new trustees and brought them up on the platform and ordained them right then and there. There was no election done by the church or the deacon board. There wasn’t any time for the church to say if they agree or not. Everything is either done by Bro. Isaac himself or is done in fear of Bro. Isaac. and once its done Bro. Isaac will tell us if we have any questions to call him personally. In which most will not call out of fear, and those that do call get ran down by the bro. Isaac and Bro. Isaac tells them to look at the sin in their life as a way to deflect the meaning of the original phone call.

The last time there was a vote for a new deacon was when Bro Jaques passed away and we needed to elect a new deacon. So the church voted, and Bro Isaac told us all that we don’t know what we were doing. I believe it was because most of the congregation wanted to vote in his son Matthew but Bro Isaac had different planes for him. So he left it up to the deacon board to decide who the next deacon will be and they chose Joseph Torres (his son-in-law) with the of Bro Isaac of course.

Looking thru all these comments that focus on protecting GD and Isaac Noriega. I would like to ask you all a question. Does he know you have and are using the internet? Does he know you are here commenting? Because you’re doing it under a fake name and in Spanish because you fear what would happen to you if He found out. Yet you are here protecting the person you hide from. You say that this is a laughing matter at GD. It’s not funny to Isaac I assure you. He know his sins are finding him out. He knows what people are saying about him is complete truth. His reactions to the articles that he portrays every service are giving him away. The congregation knows full well that he is lying to cover up his mess. You might be lying to yourself and blinding yourself to it. But that doesn’t mean everyone in there is.

Isaac is Salty AF — March 13, 2023#

It’s interesting to hear that Isaac is having public reactions about this page. If internet, cell phones and social media is banned then how is this information getting to him. It’s sad to see the deceit and hypocrisy even from the top, yet people still choose to protect him. He’s nothing but a coward and a bully. And one of these days he will pay for all the bad he has committed against so many good people. Jesus said to be the salt of the Earth. He didnt say “Be salty”. Isaac has become bitter, angry and miserable. And this is the guy you guys follow. He has lost his mind and you guys are following him to your deaths. Spiritual, emotional and mental death. I feel for the young kids and young adults trapped here. There is life outside of this, there is happiness and fulfillment and success and so much more. A lot of great people have left and flourished outside of Isaac’s cruel grasps. I’m a testimony of this. Choose to be free from Isaac’s bondage. Ask for help and help will be given.

I read your articles describing Isaac’s behavior and it reminds me of Hugo Castillo, in almost everything it’s the same, they copy each other… What a pity they didn’t know how to take advantage of the opportunity they had when they were younger, to grow together with their congregations , to respect and treat each other as brothers, as equals before God, to exercise love and respect and grow together, listen to each other, cry with the one who cries, laugh with the one who laughs. It seems that this type of people power goes to their heads and they become addicted to supreme power and control, they move further and further away from the gospel, the gospel no longer works for them, the words of Jesus where he says: “the greatest among you is he who serves” no longer makes sense among these authoritarian and egotistical people. So many years going that way, evolving towards egomania, what a shame, a real shame.

This is all previous members acting like they are members

You are programmed to ignore what doesn’t fit the narrative by Isaac. Previous comments are those of members currently imprisoned there. But since you’re trained to not accept facts you completely ignore what’s clearly in front of you. Open your eyes.

Speaking of corruption….. Hi there [redacted] we know this is you. Yes Isaac Noriega is corrupt but one of the most corrupt things he did was to cover up for your pedophilia; even though you and the underage victims lied to the authorities because they feared the church and would be considered as whores instead of victims and you feared the penalty of the law. We know you thought that everyone forgot about that but there are still the few of us who know it’s true without a shadow of a doubt. We are shocked that you of all people are trying to expose Isaac he has treated other people like garbage but he helped cover up your disgusting crime . We feel sorry for your wife and family members who actually swallowed all of your lies. We know you’re not a real man and will probably delete this comment but always remember if you supposedly believe the Bible ……. Numbers 32:23 says “But if ye will not do so,behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT.”

Hebrew roots is a heretical that takes its followers away from Christ and back to the bondage of the Law. Followers are taught to keep the Torah. Which brings them under the curse of the Law. For no one was ever saved by the Law. For it requires perfect obedience. Like the Pharisees, these modern Judaizers will be judged for their Hypocrisy. Isaac also has so many silly unbiblical rules that he makes up. The Law is like a mirror. You can look at a mirror and see your wrinkles and flaws etc..but the mirror is faulty because it can fix the flaws Jesus came and fulfilled the Law and no by Grace through Faith we are no longer under the curse of the Law. Why would you want to continue to live under curse ? Salvation is a gift from God. A gift can one earned otherwise it’s not. A gift All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” Galatians 3 Isaac has committed treason by even adding his own new unbiblical standards 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” 9 And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! Mark 7 ….but thank God for his son Jesus Christ! For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Jesus embodied the perfect balance between grace and the Law John 1:14

Saved By Grace. The sad thing is Isaac leads the congregation to believe that they have to be saved by WORKS and the LAW and not by the Grace of God.

Here is a prime example. They use scripture in the Bible to justify why the women have to wear dresses down to the ankle. “women shall not wear clothing pertaining to a man”

The sad part is most don’t know where in the Bible it actually says that. They just know it’s in the Bible so we must follow it.

Here’s the thing. First off, When that was written in the Bible most men wore Tunics. A sleeveless garment that went down to the knees. Anyone who had it down to the ankle were actually very well off in those times. So no way in shape or form was it talking about pants. Secondly, if they follow that law then why don’t they follow the very next verses and law that says they shouldn’t mix to different types of materials together in their garments. Yet you will see the men wear wool coats, silk ties, and a cotton shirt. It’s strange they decided they don’t need to follow that law when it’s the very next verse in the exact same chapter. And lastly, they must not believe Romans 10:4 or the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They must not believe the fact that Jesus came to fulfill the laws of the Old Covenant and came to Provide a New Covenant.

Honestly, I believe They do believe that Jesus came to fulfill the law and provided a new covenant. I just think they have unknowingly allowed Isaac to interpret his idea of the Bible and how it should be. that’s why they choose to follow what he says. But it’s not so. We are saved by Grace. Not by works, or because we are a special type or because we follow the letter of the law or because we follow everything Isaac Noriega says. But we are saved by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and His Undeserving Grace!

Nothing surprises me anymore I always knew that things were being hidden from everyone and the bible says that what is in the darkness will come too light
