" Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)

 Welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to Commandmnets and Judgment Ministries, an end time voice of Apostolic truth. My name is William Michael Price, and I want to personally take time to welcome you to this site.
Over the past years, as this site has, I have underwent some strange and very dangerous changes in my spiritual life, eventually returning back to the One God Apostolic faith from which I should have never left. Upon my return, I found that hungry souls are looking for truth, and many churches in the denominal world, those who are daughters of the harlot of trinity churches, are not feeding truth, instead are feeding spiritual poison, and people are dying more and more from it. But, God has a true church, with true doctrine, with true believers who have been truly been converted, and are walking in true power and ministry, for such a time as this.
I believe that God is raising up voices from the darkness, bringing them out from darkness, to proclaim truth. Those who dos o are being called to separate from those who are not fruitful, those who are not expedient, and those who attack the ways of truth God has called His people into.
I am honored and priveldged to be part of Irvington Pentecostal Church, Houston, Texas, where my pastor is J.J. Bourne Jr., which is affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church International. I am no longer an ordaiend minister, but am seeking to live a life now which will prove the call God has on my life.
So, once again, welcome to this site, this ministry, and may the Lord Jesus Christ be exalted through the work thereof.
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23:23)
As some may have noticed in this ministry, I have no problem with arguing against false doctrine. Trinity doctrine is very wrong, as is salvation outside of Acts 2:38, living like the world, and various other doctrines. I do this because truth has become very precious to me, now that I am back in the truth. I believe that God is sovereign and His Word is established forever in heaven and on earth, and nothing man can say or do will ever change this fact. Holiness in doctrine is just as important as holiness in standards, for one is either holy in all or holy in none.
I am now obsessed with declaring God is one and His name is one, and that name and God is Jesus!
I am obsessed with holiness, and when I find myself falling short, I find myself repenting.
I am obsessed with leaving all false doctrine behind and having no part dark within me!
I am obsessed with the truth of the post-trib rapture of the church, which I am convinced is yet to come!
I am obsessed with the notion that the ministry is holy and sacred, and that not all who say they are preachers are truly God called!
I am obsessed with living a life which is pleasing to the Lord and abstaining from anything which would pervert my walk!
I am obsessed with warning saints of the dangers of spiritual poison and carnal living!
I am obsessed with the fulfillment of the Great Commission of Mark 16, to preach the Gospel and lead souls to salvation according to Acts 2:38!
I am obsessed with being right, for He who saved me and is saving me has called me to be right, do right, walk right, talk right!
I believe spiritual obsession is a good thing, when we are obsessed with Jesus and the things of His Kingdom. I am obsessed with Him!
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9-10)
God has a chosen people. This is something that is without question. God has had a people chosen by Him before the foundation of the world. Under the Law, it was a natural people, natural Israel. This was the case until the time of Christ when Jesus came and saved a people from all peoples, and made them one people, the Israel of God. God’s chosen people is no longer about physical race, but is on the basis of grace, and that chosen people is none other than the One God Jesus Name Holiness Living Apostolic Church. Yes, the chosen people of God is the church which carries His name, which believes His doctrine, which has their hope in Him, that lives for Him in holiness, and which is looking for His post-trib return.
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. (Galatians 6:16)
The trinitarian doctrine of dispensationalism has dominated so many churches for so long. It is a tool of the devil to deceive the nation of God, to rob her of that oh so important aspect of her identity. Many believe that God has two people, a temporary one and a permanent one. The permanent one is the nation of Israel after the flesh according to their theology. When Israel would not go after Messiah, their theology states that God put Israel on hold and went after another bride, one for His Son, and that bride is the trinity church. But, when God the Father is ready to rejoin His bride, natural Israel, God the Son will catch His bride away before the tribulation, so God the Father can be restored back to his permanent bride. This doctrine is so antichrist, anti-Bible, and antichurch, but so many follow after this lie.
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not three parts of God, but are manifestations of the one true God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and this one true God has one true people, Israel. When natural Israel rejected Him, He went to the highways and hedges and compelled us to come in to the feast. He then changed us from servants to friends and then from friends to son and daughters, even changing our identity in Him, from men of all nations to one people of one city who are part of one nation in Him. We went from not being one people to becoming one people through the waters of baptism in His name in faith through His grace.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:28-29)
We became the true Jews, and we became of the true Judaism, not the Pharisaical mystical and unbelieving Judaism which denied Christ and nailed Him to the tree as a common criminal. No, we are of the true nation of Israel, the true circumcision, the true Israel of God, and we have this birthright, not of mortal man, but of the eternal, omnipotent God, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are now and forever more will be God’s chosen people.
Let us as Apostolics, as those of the true Israel, turn from all parts dark and turn to the truth of scripture, confessing our sins, and living in the holiness of Christ, walking in our true identity. Let us leave all trinitarian doctrines behind us and be as we should be, holy and blameless unto the Lord. Let us not cast away our confidence, but lean solely upon Him.
This past week has been a bit rough, and the next week may not be any easier. But, during it all, the Lord laid a word in my heart that if He had not, I would not understand somethings like I do right now. It is my honor and privilege to share this with you.
 When I backslid into the lostness of Reformed Theology, I did so listening to various voices that sounded good and well, even having a taste of truth within them. The enemy of the faith works like that, telling enough truth to sound acceptable, and then slowly sending in the spiritual poison of apostasy to where your spirit is poisoned and you are changed, and not even know it. Your discernment is weakened and your spirituality becomes carnal, and then you become lost.
It is a trap that far too many Apostolics have found to be comfortable with. The old saying ‘chew the meat and spit out the bone’ was one I once considered to be acceptable. But, when the meat is simply meat flavored poison, with a mix of protein and arsenic, you soon realize that the meat is not worth the poison. You begin to hear words that sound convincing and sound ‘Gospel”, but in the end becomes nothing more than festering wastes in your system, destroying all you are in Christ.
Let me explain this in a more convincing manner, one that is a warning to those who hold that trinitarians are saved. I began listening to Paul Washer. Now, Paul sounded real good and was very convincing. However, the more I listened to this man, the less I endured sound doctrine, even to the point I cast out all things Apostolic, and became convinced of the lie that the true faith was not so. Because of my own spiritual weakness and misunderstanding, I became lost and undone, even to the point of blaspheming this sacred and holy doctrine. I am not blaming anyone but myself, because I allowed myself to listen to those other voices. But, it was a trap. Sounded good, but it was a trap. The devil has set some traps for God’s people, and it is in us listening with the ear and not the Bible.
A true lack of discernment.
The enemy has caused the listening of the people to be of mortal ear, believing that false doctrine can be tolerated, so long as we spit out the bones. I am telling you, it is a trap of the enemy. To welcome some part dark is to welcome darkness, and that is a weapon, a tool, a work of the enemy, to allow just enough light to be accepting of the darkness when it comes. This is why I cast out all books and tapes as of now from this house from my backsliding time. Yes, the leaven of the enemy must be swept, pulled, cast out, and thrown away, so the traps of the enemy can have no fertile ground to find a place to be.
So sadly, though, we have failed to purge this leaven, deciding that some leaven is acceptable. You hear me, young preacher, you hear me pastor, you hear me elder. The days are dark and God has called us to have no part dark. “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.” (Luke 11:33-36)
The enemy of the soul has set traps of sweet and encouraging words, but the mix is leaven, it is poison, and it is destruction. Clean out your libraries in your home of all books that have this leaven in them. Cast out all tapes likened this. Delete all false teaching from your computers. Repent and turn. Let God help you keep you. You hear me, for God has only one people, one holy people, and this people has no part dark. Give not the enemy place for his traps. Have no part dark.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
When God began to deal with me concerning the issue of holiness standards, I had to deal with the issue of rebellion against God and against the men that He has established in my life. I have testified that God had dealt with me concerning the issue of facial hair. Now, I am not saying that facial hair is a sin, but for me it was, because I had chosen to grow it out of rebellion against the truth of God’s Word, and started appeasing the lusts and desires of the flesh more and more.
You see, we have a war ongoing in the believers. On one side, we have those who have decided that nothing is too much for God, and that because of this, they are willing to have the standards, have the uncut hair on women and the trimmed hair on me, have the total lack of jewelry and makeup, and have the separation from the world. On the other side we have those who always desire to question why we should want to give up things we love for God. One group is of the world and the other spiritual, for one group says it is never enough, and the other says it is too much. Many have adopted the terms conservative (ultra con, conservative, holiness) and liberal (charismatic). The truth is neither term is appropriate, because to be a man or woman of God, one must be willing to go as much for God as possible, knowing He is the end all of our lives.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18) This verse is not just about coming out from the ways of the world, but it is about our birthright as Apostolic men and women of God. When we separate from the world, we are separated unto the Lord, and as Paul declares time and again, we are commanded to draw nigh unto God, or draw near to God. So, is there such a thing as being too close to god and too far away from the world? The lost say there is, while those who are His say nothing is too close.
Sometimes we are considered fanatics and zealots because of the desire to draw nigh unto the Lord, to live according to standards, and withdrawing from the world. They use terms like so heavenly minded we are no earthly good. They love the notion of having one foot in heaven and another in sin… I mean the world. They love appeasing the flesh and saying just enough to look religious, but plenty to enjoy the world and love the lusts of the flesh. They want to be religious, but still act, look, and live like the world, which is a complete and total oxymoron. You either live like you are saved or you are not saved. There is no middle ground on this.
As I shave this morning, and repented for not doing this more regularly, I am reminded of those who listened to the 400 prophets as they spoke flattering words to the children of Israel, versus the one true prophet of God who called Israel to prepare to be conquered. One group was in the King’s Palace, cheered and loved by the people, and given great latitude, while the true prophet was cast into prison, was abused, and was openly rejected. When all was said and done, the true prophet was proven true, while the false prophets were proven liars and damnable to themselves and those who listened to them. The same thing goes on today. Those who are of the carnal mindset are listening to false preachers and pastors who seek to appease the flesh, tell them all are saved regardless of how they see God, and encourage them to become relevant (relevant meaning more like the world to allow sin and unrighteousness so as to be accepted). They flock around men like Jakes, Parsley, and others who seed the words of sweet carnality and promise prosperity in their sins. But, the true men of God are speaking forth holiness, are mocked and scorned, and stand alone.
But, they choose the stand upon the Word and the truths thereof, even if such is not acceptable.
Which side will you choose? Which team will you follow? Will you follow those whose breath is seasoned with the brimstone of Hell and this world, who seek popularity at the cost of your eternal soul? Will you choose life, abundant life, holiness, walking in righteousness, and living as the Bible declares, holding fast to the Acts 2:38 message of salvation and the Oneness of God? Which side? I have made the decision and received my deliverance to see and say openly that I choose the Lord’s side. I choose holiness, righteousness, sanctification, and living as I should. I choose Christ, and to see His name made great. I choose to walk away from the world and the lusts thereof, and choose to live godly. I choose to tithe, to live holy, and to walk as close as I can with and for Him.
What shall you choose?
For the past few days, God has been dealing with me about the truth concerning spiritual warfare and the believer. We have an ongoing warfare in our personal lives as well as the lives of the church as a whole, and the enemy has wanted to destroy the believers, but God has given us marching orders and Apostolic authority to battle with the enemy.
Scripture declares in James 4:7-8, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” Notice the wording here, that we are not to fight, which means to engage in a spiritual war with the enemy, but to resist. Resistance is a the standing against something, in this case the work and person of the devil and his minions. When we resist, we are not allowing the enemy to take ground which is not his. Whether it is our joy, our peace, our hope, our finances, our homes, our jobs, or whatever it is, it does not belong to the devil, and we have a sovereign duty to draw nigh to God and resist the devil.
But, how do we as believers resist the devil? God opened the understanding of my mind on this, and it is found in Jude 1:9, “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” Notice how even Michael, the archangel of God, often called the warrior angel, did not go into battle against the devil. He knew that the devil had authority, but he also knew the One who had the greater authority. He knew who would fight the battle, and who would win, and thus he told the enemy “The Lord rebuke thee”.
The battles we fight is not our’s to fight. It is the Lord’s battle and victory. The enemy looks to try to destroy believers by getting them into a fight, but we know that we are called to stand against, to strive against, to withstand the enemy. We look at things and we try to rebuke the devil, but when we say “The Lord rebuke thee”, we are walking in the Apostolic authority of the name and person of God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. When we are under attack from the enemy, we resist his working, and call upon the One who is Lord of all, and He shall rebuke the wicked one.
Look at the whole armor of God in Ephesians 6. The whoel armor is built to withstand against the devil. The only offensive weapon in that armor is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. John 1 declares the Word was God. The offensive weapon we have against the devil is not of ourselves, our faith, our truth, our righteousness. The weapon is the Lord, and the weapon is the Word. We have the authority, but God has and is the power. That is why even Michael would not engage in offensive battle, but instead declared to the devil “The Lord rebuke thee”.
Resist the devil! This is not an option, but a command for the believer. Do not allow him to take one more inch of ground, one more blade of grass, one more straw of ground. Withstand all his attacks, for our defenses are sure and established within the Word. “The Lord rebuke thee” is our cry, our weapon, our offense. It is not in ourselves, but in Christ we have strength. Thus, we shall have victory.
The following is a quote I found off of a forum I used to frequent, and I found it to be very disturbing to say the least. In this, the author was attacking the teaching of the uncut hair on the sisters being equivalent with spiritual authority and power. This is the exact quote from this man concerning this belief, “So very sad. The fruit of an spiritually inbred movement.” Now, needless to say, when I read this, all the sirens and bells went off in my head, because this man had openly and venomously attacked not only the sisters, but the Lord who had blessed these holy women of God. Because of this, I have decided to cut ties with this man, once and for all, until he repents of this. To declare this the result of ’spiritual inbreeding’ is to declare living in the holiness given by Christ impure, and holiness is not impure.
The scriptures in question are found in 1Corinthians 11, where Paul admonishes and commands the sisters, in loving Apostolic compassion, to not cut their hair nor for the men to grow their hair long, for both are a sign and a covering, and show the spiritual authority God has over the believer. From this obedience, as I stated in my previous posting, God has granted some serious supernatural protection to our sisters, as has been testified to by several postings on the web and in sermons I have heard. If holiness was so impure, why then would God be honoring these women with angelic protection, with signs and wonders? Either God is a liar, or those who attack holiness are, and I choose to believe that man is wrong on this.
“Brother Price, sounds like you joined up with the unltracons again.” You bet your broken Saturn I have! I believe in holiness, and I believe holiness has fruit. I believe in standards, and that standards can help discern the heart of an individual, as to whether they are willing to obey God or not. I believe that such is a heaven or hell issue, because the scriptures declare it so. Hebrews 12:14-16 declare it so, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.”
Holiness is our birthright as believers, and such is not impure. In fact those who declare such impure are in sin themselves. Isaiah 5:20 declares a woe on such individuals, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” I shall not apologize for the stand I am now taking. If I had stayed in holiness two years ago, I would not have made the mess of my life that I did. Holiness is not an inbred religious belief, but liberalism is, for it seeks to breed sin with carnality, and make it more acceptable. But, holiness is not impure, and those who think so show of what spirit they are of.
Come out from among such as these, who call evil good and good inbred religion. Leave all spiritual fornication and draw nigh unto God. Let His work of holiness transform your life, and be that which He has given as our birthright.
For the longest, I was sided against those who called the uncut hair of holiness women “Holy Magic Hair”, because of my carnality. They tried, as did I, to refute the power God has granted to individuals who choose to be obedient to the commandments of the Lord in areas of decency and modesty. Yet, as I read more and more stories of how Jesus sends protection and blessings upon women who have obeyed the commandment to not cut their hair, I am foced with only one option…
To repent.
You see, the Apostle Paul spoke forth the commandment, under unction of the Holy Ghost, that a woman is not to cut her hair. The reasoning for this is authority, that uncut hair is the symbol of the God ordained authority within the church. However, in this authority come power, and this is not deniable. A woman who has chosen to be obedient to God’s Word is a woman who has power, because God honors those who honor Him. And, as can be tesified to all over the web, God has proven this time and time again.
This is a fact that those who call holiness names cannot dispute. They try, but they fail every time. In fact, in their failurew, they usually expose their own carnality and their own desire to be likened to the world. They say things like, “Well, God does not move like that…”, or, “That is not all necessary…”, but they never truly can deal with the actual evidence presented, both as scripture teaches and in what actually happens. God is empowering those who live for Him, and making fools of those who say that holiness is not necessary.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 5:20-24)
Those who attack the work of God in holiness had better see the light and turn from that. Do not be calling good and godliness evil, when God shows repeatedly it is not. Do not allow the world to dictate holiness, but instead turn to God in all areas of life, ye who have taken His name. Holiness is not evil, and it is not witchcraft. It is a dependence upon God to the point that we surrender all to Him, even in the slightest detail. How I could have left this truth is beyond me, but the mental ways of man are in contrast against God’s Word, thus, I support the uncut hair doctrine. Glory to the name of Jesus!
