RESPONSE - There is no war against the Cross Movement, DaTruth and EX Ministries. The war is between the fundamentalists beliefs and the pentecostal move of God. Because the Cross Movement and DaTruth deny the gifts of God (laying on of hands, casting out devils, Rhema word from God [God speaking to man outside of the written logos Word], and divine healing) they take the position that our ministry should not exist since it was given by divine revelation. They do not believe that God's gifts are in operation today but that He stopped using men that way in the bible days. Listen to Ambassador from the Cross Movement on Holy Culture Radio deny the gifts and claim that the bible has scribal errors in it. This is the same claim made by KRS-One and Afrika Bambaataa all 5%'s. Because they believe this way and are constantly converting their listeners to believe this doctrine, we have been forced to stand against them. We originally supported the Cross Movement and DaTruth, but after a 2 hour phone debate with them, we had to stand firmly on the Word of God. We cannot walk together and not be in agreement on the Bible and the very foundation of God's pentecostal move upon His body. We believe in all of the bible and believe that the whole bible was inspired by God and no part of it should be deleted or questioned. We believe that once man decides to change or remove portions of the Word, they are subject to error and heretical beliefs. Therefore, we cannot support the Cross Movement, Ambassador, or DaTruth as long as they stand on the belief that the bible is in error. We encourage all true believers of God and those that believe the true power of God is in operation today, to listen closely to the lyrics and the teachings of Ambassador and his followers. Don't just be a fan of these guys, but stand firm on what you know is the truth, even if it means turning off their music and ceasing to support them. We must stand for the bible and not allow people to change it at will or edit it for their own agenda. There is enough confusion in the lives of our youth, so to have a Holy Hip Hop group say that the bible is not all true or that there are scribal errors in it that would have totally changed what we know today as the pentecostal church beliefs.

PROOF - The Zulu Nation, Afrika Bambaataa, and KRS-One all believe the bible is flawed and should be reinterpreted. Hip Hop rests upon this belief system, and thus, those that claim to be Holy Hip Hop must subscribe to this belief. It's in the spirit of Hip Hop to deny that the bible is flawless! If this is what the Cross Movement and DaTruth believe, then why aren't they preaching this openly instead of hiding it in their lyrics? Check this out:

From the Album “Heaven’s Mentality”
Song : “Test It”

‘. . . even those in the fam lookin’ for more than the words of the Son tryin’ to have fun sayin’: “God told me this” “The Lord told me that” But if it ain’t confirmed in the Word it ain’t fact. But some still continue and I think it’s sick ‘cause back in the day they would’a had to catch a brick!

This song suggests that there is no such thing as a Rhema Word. It also suggests that God doesn’t speak directly to people. For instance if God told someone to move to California and start a church - according to the Cross Movement - this would not be God. They only believe in what can be confirmed in the bible. We certainly believe that if any message contradicts the scriptures - IT IS NOT OF GOD. But didn’t Jesus say “My sheep hear my voice? There are specific things to our lives that cannot confirmed verbatim in the Bible, however God may speak them directly to us through His spirit or even indirectly through another person. I even had a friend be taunted by the Cross Movements camp for his admission that he had demons! They do not believe in these things, yet they are promoting and marketing themselves to Pentecostal believing churches? Remember, Hip Hop is a move of the enemy, so in order to truly infect the body of Christ, it must hide and disguise itself as something good to move into position to destroy!

SCRIPTURE - II Timothy 3:16 ~ ‘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, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.’
