RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICALS
                              *
                              *
1.  An R.G.E. POWERFULLY REJECTS the "GOD IS A MELLOW CALIFORNIAN" concept:
..   a.  God IS NOT LAID BACK
..   b.  IS NOT content as long as you're sincere in what you
..       believe
..   c.  IS NOT SLOPPY or LAZY in communicating His will
..   d.  Is not a God of Errors, Myths, or Mistakes
..       (a laid-back, sloppy & lazy god might be content
..        with an error filled bible but the great I AM would not)
..   e.  Would NEVER BE a T.V. EVANGELIST.
..   f.  Has laid out an EXACTING & SINGULAR way for man to be
..       saved.  There is only ONE-WAY by which man can be saved:
..       Faith in Jesus Christ.
                              *

2.  RGE's hold firmly to SOLA SCRIPTURA (Scripture Only). The
..   Bible is WORD-FOR-WORD EXACTLY CORRECT IN ALL IT SAYS.
..   God's Word IS COMPLETE in the 66 books of the N.T. & O.T. Canon.
..   There is NO OTHER or new revelation beyond the BIBLE ITSELF.
..   a.  An R.G.E. actually believes Jonah was swallowed by a
..       big fish,
..   b.  believes Adam & Eve were the first humans; they did
..       not evolve, they were created by God and ALL HUMANS
..       are descended from Adam & Eve
..   c.  believe that God, in His infinite wisdom, had the
..       Israelites totally destroy other nations.
..   d.  A RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICAL may not always under-
..       stand, but he DOGGEDLY BELIEVES.
                              *
3.  RGE'S  believe in a literal Heaven & a literal Hell.
..   A minority of people who have lived on Earth will be in
..   Heaven, the majority will be in HELL.
..                             *
4.  RGE'S believe God is Self-Existent - no beginning no end.
..   God is also Triune; Father, Son (Jesus Christ), & Holy Spirit.
..   a.  God exists whether or not man does
..   b.  God IS NOT a Chameleon forever changing to please man
..   c.  Man's subjective thoughts/feelings about God are only
..       correct if they agree with the objective Scriptures.
..   D.  the CREATED cannot totally understand the CREATOR;
..       it is ARROGANT & FOOLISH to think he can.
..                             *
5.  God IS NOT Sentimental or Sloppily Emotional in His love
..   for His children.  HE IS a God of love but also a God of
..   Implacable and AWESOME WRATH.  Those people who think HE
..   is a Mellow Californian will find they are DEAD-WRONG,
..   in Hell.
..   a.  God never smiles at small sins
..   b.  Chastises his children with alarming regularity
..   c.  And does not listen to the prayers of unbelievers except
..       when they call out in REPENTANCE for Salvation.
                              *

6.  RGE'S think ALL mankind is incredibly evil and self-deceived.
..   An RGE think the "biggies" are still Sins of the Heart more
..   than behavioral misdeeds.  Our society today suffers from:
..   a.  Pride (we think we're okay and we can take care of
..       ourselves)
..   b.  Arrogance (especially some theologians who think they
..       are smarter and more knowledgeble than the Apostle Paul)
..   c.  Incredible Materialism (the Christian community has
..       bought into rampant materialism Hook, Line & Sinker.
..       (Owning a BMW and a 5000 sq. ft. house is obscene.)
..   d.  Unrestrained Selfishness (I want,  I think,  I feel,
..       I gotta be me, take care of # 1, etc. ad nauseum)
..   e.  Lack of Courage (how many of us will stand up to the
..       taunts and ridicule of family & friends; of the media?)
                              *

7.  An R.G.E. doesn't hate Gays, Adulterers, Liars,
..   Politicians, Murderers, the Sexually Warped, liberals,
..   Abortioners, T.V. Evangelists, and those who think RADICAL
..   BELIEVERS are to be ridiculed and laughed at.  Those
..   individuals suffer the devastating consequences of their own
..   sins here on Earth (and in Hell if they reject Jesus
..   Christ).  One doesn't have to be an R.G.E. to get to Heaven
..   but there is NO BETTER WAY TO LIVE.
..   (OBVIOUSLY, R.G.E.'s are not sinless.  We also struggle with
..   lust and all those other debilitating & destructive sins.)
                              *
8.  R.G.E.'s believe that God, in His infinite wisdom, chose
..   women to be subject to men.  This IN NO WAY IMPLIES MALE
..   SUPERIORITY in God's economy.  But female dominated societies
..   are NOT God's Plan.  Women who seek equality or superiority
..   are doomed to be frustrated and miserable (the men also).
                              *

9.  R.G.E.'s believe that in the Culture:
..    Divorce and remarriage are wrong except for:
..      1. Chronic sexual infidelity/perversion of a spouse
..      2. Desertion by an unbelieving spouse
..      3. If one was married & divorced before salvation.
..   (Certainly, there can be family situations so destructive
..    that marital separation might be the best alternative.)
                              *
10. R.G.E.'s STRONGLY BELIEVE "If anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR
..   HIS RELATIVES, and especially for his immediate family, HE
..   has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
..   Bar-hopping, beer guzzling, TV-addict husbands who selfishly
..   spend money on their own WANTS are a CANCER in our society.
                              *

11.  R.G.E.'s STRONGLY BELIEVE younger women (wives) should
..    love their husbands and children, be self-controlled and
..    pure, BUSY AT HOME,  be kind, subject to their husbands so
..    that no one will malign the Word  of God.  Titus 2:4,5.
..    a.  Mother's are ultimately happier and more fulfilled at
..        home and
..    b.  KIDS WEREN'T CREATED FOR DAY CARE CENTERS.
..    c.  God placed the ultimate, responsibility of educating
..        our children in THE PARENT'S HANDS not the State's hands.
                              *
12.  Finally, RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICALS:
..    a.  Will Never be in the majority: always be UNPOPULAR
..    b.  Under constant attack; mostly by people CLAIMING  to
..        be Christians,
..    c.  But striving to PERSEVERE; FIGHTING FOR THE FAITH!

LIVE 100%,  FLAT-OUT for JESUS CHRIST.  There "ain't nuthin'" else worth living 
for on this planet.

LIVE RADICALLY!
