- Experience the incredible Pentecost Sunday event, "Baptize SoCal," that took place on May 28th at Pirates Cove in Corona Del Mar! Over 4,000 people were baptized, and 8,000 came to witness this beautiful moment. With this recap, relive the powerful testimonies and reflect back to the Jesus People Movement that took place in the same exact spot in the 70s. It's awesome to know that GOD IS STILL MOVING TODAY.
Let's do it again in the summer of 2024!
This is such a light to see. The blessings of our God our One and Only. God bless all in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior our Messiah Amen. God bless all in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen

Praying for a huge great awakening in California! I lived through The Jesus Movement in the early 70’s! I would go to the concerts at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa with the messages by Pastor Chuck! Then went with my sister to Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside on Sunday nights to hear Christian bands play & hear Pastor Greg Laurie ( when he had long hair lol) The church I attended I loved but they didn’t have Sunday night services. Now I’m disabled by chronic pain & attend Harvest CF online every Sunday! I pray someday I can get better & be able to attend Harvest Orange County in person, even if it’s the noon service! ( mornings are hard on me to get going & go anywhere) Right now I haven’t been able to go anywhere but Drs appts.for the last 3 years! Prayers are truly appreciated if you would be willing to pray for me! I trust Jesus with my life wholly & completely & I Praise Him for how He helps me everyday!! He is so good to me!! If you don’t know Him yet, please ask Him to reveal Himself to you & He ( Jesus ) will!! He is faithful!! 💖🙏💖😁😁😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
God is good 🙌🙏🏽
What a blessing to see Christian’s getting baptized. I’m praying for another revival. God is faithful and let’s pray for a continual transformation in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit 3 in 1.
Trinitarians have propagated this, “You cannot be saved if you don’t believe in the Trinity!” This is critical. In the past, the Roman Catholic Church has caused hundreds of thousands of Christians to be tortured, excommunicated, and persecuted for not believing in the Trinity. Trinitarians, both Catholic and Protestant, have executed many believers in Christ for not believing in the Triune doctrine. Christians are to “Test all things; hold fast to what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). “But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed” (1 Peter 3:14-16). How does one defend something that God never revealed to be true, and only exists as a (Trinitarian) doctrine because men gathered in two Councils (the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE & the Council of Chalcedon in 381 CE) with the audacity of defining God? Theologians admit that the Trinity is “beyond the grasp of human reason” (THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA, Vol. 27, “The Trinity,” 1980). “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament…The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies… It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single Orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (see “Trinity”, THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). In other words, the God of the Bible has never been revealed to be a Triune God, a Trinity. Christianity had no concept of God being a Trinity until the 4th century when bickering men defined God. Apostolic “Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds” of the 4th-century church (see “God”, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, Vol. 2, p. 84).
If one must believe in the Trinity doctrine to be saved, what of the early Christians who knew nothing of the doctrine of the Trinity up to the 4th century CE?
Historian writer H.G. Wells, stated: “There is no evidence that the apostles of Christ ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from him” (The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499).
Martin Luther, of the Protestant Reformation, in a documented sermon preached, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (THE SERMONS OF MARTIN LUTHER, Vol. 3, p. 406).
Scriptural pillars of the Trinity are Matthew 28:19, and 1 John 5:7, and these verses are considered by scholars to be interpolations, that were added later to the Bible. Scholars such as F. C. Conybeare have claimed that the Trinitarian baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 was not original to the text of Matthew, and therefore is, in fact, an interpolation. Christ never said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…” (Matthew 28:19). In other words, was the phrase in the text "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" inserted at a later date (say, for example, after the Council of Chalcedon in AD 381)? The correct reading of Matthew 28:19 appears to be in the Gospel of Luke, “Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:46-47).
According to the church historian, Eusebius, he quotes Christ saying in Matthew 28:19, in his book: “Go and make disciples of all the nations in My name” (Eusebius, THE HISTORY of the CHURCH, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965). This explains why the disciples of Christ never baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Proving that Christ’s quote in Matthew 28:19 is not original.
The baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19, as it presently stands is in direct contradiction with all of these passages:
[Acts 2:38 NASB] “Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
[Acts 8:12 NASB] “But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike.”
[Acts 10:48 NASB] “And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.”
[Romans 6:3 NASB] “Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?”
[1 Corinthians 1:13 NASB] “Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?”
[Galatians 3:27 NASB] “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”
The original Matthew 28:19, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name,” conforms. The conspiracy to change the words of Christ in Matthew 28:19 to bolster the Trinity doctrine also included the Didache (7:1), and all church writers previous to the 4th century. Despite the Orthodox/Roman Catholic thoroughness to conform all writings of the early church, they overlooked Eusebius’ History of the Church, and the conspiracy continues to this day!
If you reject the Trinity, you likely reject the Deity of Christ, which if you reject that then you will perish. The Trinity is thoroughly biblical, you are taking all of those verses out of context. You quoted Acts 2:38 and said it is in contradiction to Matthew 28:19 which sounds like you subscribe to Oneness theology, which is heresy.
