I need to be honest, in that I feel like most of the comments on this site are posted by people who haven't followed what Matthew 18 says about approaching a brother if you have a problem. It doesn't say that if you have a problem but someone else has the same problem and they approach the person that you dont need to approach them. It gives no such exemption. I don't appreciate all the ungodly things being spoken- if you want to be an example of Christ... Even if an elder or minister has or might have done something bad that doesn't give anyone the permission in God's eyes to not follow what He says.

exactly right!!

that means if any minister or elder has committed a sin, any member needs to approach that minister or elder in sin, and apply Matthew 18:15-17 towards that minster or elder.

exactly right!!!!!

are apostles higher in rank them elders today?
i would say, we all believe so.
ok
so, if that is the case, then lets study the bible what the apostles stated, about THEMSELVES.
1). galatians 1
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

its very clear here, that the apostles did not seek obedience, nor unconditional respect nor any other deceived concept of approved wisdom or acknowledgement.....

its coming from the apostles....read for yourself slowly and carefully....."But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you............"

they put themselves FIRST.....think about it.

can any elder openly repeat these words to the Church???

if anyone heard, or hears this come from an elder, can you please forward their name, surname, phone number, address, contact details.....etc

i would like to meet him.

many thanks

1 Timothy 5:17 states:
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour......
read carefully........it refers to those elders that rule well, not to all elders, nor unconditional honour.

Deuteronomy 18: 20 states:
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have NOT commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of OTHER gods, even that prophet shall DIE.
read carefully......prophets can speak in their own name, rather in Gods name, and here we are NOT allowed to obey them, follow them, respect them, honour them, acknowledge them in this error of sin.

all unconditional obedience ONLY goes to God and His Word.
man is not in align with God, and to "That Guy" in the first comment in this forum, don't try and influence your unbiblical deceit, baloney and foolish gibberish.

This last comment accuses ‘That Guy’ of attempting to bring in “unbiblical deceit, baloney and foolish gibberish.” I’m not ‘That Guy,’ but I think there might be a slight misunderstanding as to what he said, particularly with his last sentence. He wrote:

“Even if an elder or minister has or might have done something bad that doesn't give anyone the permission in God's eyes to not follow what He says.”

I don’t think ‘That Guy’ is saying that someone should follow an elder or minister if he is corrupt. Notice that he’s capitalized the word “He” (second to last word). In other words, the sentence could be rewritten like this:

“Even if an elder or minister has or might have done something bad that doesn't give anyone the permission in God's eyes to not follow what God says.”

I think he’s saying that if an elder or minister has sinned… then the sheep need obey what He (God) says to do, and apply Matthew 18. If I understand him correctly, I think his point is that making comments in this forum doesn’t constitute following Matthew 18. Perhaps ‘That Guy’ will clarify further if I’m mistaken.

I am commenting (for the first time) to the three? user names "That Guy", "to that guy" and "To that guy".

I did follow Matthew 18 when my husband and I were falsely accused by our local elder, and brought before the church (without being told why). In trying to resolve this, we were instructed to go to the elder committee (a non scriptural entity) to judge the matter. That failed and then we requested the elder body to have someone unbiased to come and judge the matter. We were denied. We resorted to this because we were not permitted to bring this before the local church (which is scriptural).

It seems to me, based on my experience, that the elders in acc cannot be brought before the local congregation when the matter to be judged involves them.

It is sad, but understandable, that this website is a platform for some to voice their unjust treatment by leadership because Matthew 18 is not fully implemented when leadership commits a trespass. Been there done that. My comment is based on facts not assumptions.

You are 100% accurate. When you confront the elders, they look at you like how dare you to challenge their authority. They will twist everything to serve their needs and who they want to protect.

I am very discouraged with the ACCN and the elders. They are people you should NEVER trust. They lie and try to make you accountable for other peoples actions and use the Bible when it suitable for their needs.

Why is everyone surprised by all this???? Open your bleepin eyes!!! You have these so called leaders elected by majority vote based on popularity, friendships, family connections, a desperate local congregation, ability to speak from the pulpit, choice of the best of the worst, pressure from serving elder to get out of town and stick in someone local...and you wonder???? NONE are elected by the methods in The Book of Acts by drawing lots. Why? Our faith in this biblical tenant is crap!!! From bordering on Criminal like Paul Pentsa, to a smiling arrogant fakeness like Dragolovic, to a rude uppity detached attitude from Kurtz, fake multi-faced loser and corrupt like Nickolson, Weinhardt and Tomic who embarrassingly didn't have a clue about their own flock (resulting in 40% leaving the local church, Kuciscki Kitchener, (are you kidding?) Freunds who believe in their God given entitled-ness to be elders like the 'old man', Igic Vista who, and the church, is run by his rude, stupid, gossipy wife who 'wears the pants' and on and on and on. So much sh..t is tolerated any wonder why things are as they are and this website was born?

I would like to take time to say "thank you" and "praise your efforts" in following the Biblical teaching in Matthew 18.

It is VERY rare to hear ANYONE doing exactly how and what the Bible is teaching here in those verses.

Thank God that there are members awake and spiritually minded in following the strict criteria we all need to fulfil.

Dont be offended, as there were false apostles 2000 years ago.
What are we supposed to say today?????
also
There were false prophets 2000 years ago.
What do we say today?

1 John 4
1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Corinthians 11:
13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The biggest issue with the leadership is that they have taken the church 'the mother' out of the equation. The elders don't care about the flock. They do like traveling, getting respect, attention, and to be hosted with food and treated well.

Why are you asking for the local elders name? If it is who I think it is he's already been beaten with many stripes and I think he's learned a lot and grown a lot from this experience which is more than I can say with many other elders. I would classify him is a very good speaker with a good heart, and generous where he's asked to help. An average leader, naive in certain things, likes control and micro-management, and not the greatest in conflict resolution. If Paul Pentsa is a 0 out of 10, and Nicholson is a 3, this man would be 6 or 7.

What will you here the Lord say to you? Will it be. "Well done good and faithful servant? or will it be, Depart from me, I know you not? You see the Lord will not ask us about other peoples lives, but he will ask us about our lives on this earth, how we kept our garments, are they white and spotless,or are they defiled by ungodly and sinful living that no one has a right to admonish you about in this life, because you became hard of hearing and became a "reprobate" left for judgement!

It sounds like you are either an elder or know of this elder and are defending the elder in question. I don't care for the elder's name.

What I do want from you is understanding, please show me where in the New Testament it is written that an elder can sin and be not accountable before God and before the church?

If the ACCN elders base themselves on the Old Testament story of King David who made a grave sin and was forgiven by God, you should know that we don't live in the times of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that a man can sin and he is spotless because he is an elder. We live in the New Testament time, where it is written that nothing unclean will enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The elder in Canada who offended this family needs to ask himself how will he face God on judgment day. He should fix the problem while he still has a chance.

No it does not allows anyone to commit sin and and to not deal with it and confess, repent, and if posible make restoration! Whether an Elder, minister, or lay brother or sister! If it is not taken card of now, then it will be on the final day, but without mercy! Peter writes, that judgment will start at the house of God, and if it first started with us, where will the siners and unbelievers be, if the riteous are scarcly saved! So Peter included himself in the judgment possibility, No one is exempt from that.But we have this comfort,that our Lord is a just in his judgments, He doesn,t respect a person, whether Elders or any family members, all will be judged early. As a Matter of fact, to whom much has been given, of them much will be requiered, so Elders will be dealth with more severo with by the Lord! The question is, has this Elder made right where he wronged? if yes, let it rest!

First off, you should not encourage people to abandon their faith. Making a statement such as, 'looks like a large portion of the membership just wants to leave the church because of all the craziness,' I would disagree. You should look at yourself and if you want to abandon ship, 'while we still can' whatever that means then you make that decision on your own.
We have the freedom to serve God and believe in our faith. What do you believe? Are you unhappy? What is going on with you? Are you also offended by the church?

The faith and the Bible stay the same for Christians, and we are to keep the truth. Only some of the elders have become a big mafia group and use the church to protect themselves, leaders in the ACCN like, Paul Pentsa, David Nikolson, Matei Augustino, Mark Meister, Dushko Dragoilovich, and Willie Kurtz.

Matei Augustino brought his brother to this country under a false identity. Giving his green card and passport to his brother is a crime punishable by law, and he could serve jail time.  But this elder will not stop talking bad about those members that were kicked out of the church by the Stefan's, David Nikolson, and supported by the ACCN committee.

Why?

Could it be that he doesn't have empathy, love, kindness, etc., He is traveling to Europe to lie more against the Columbia Station members to protect David Nikolson and the ACCN committee.

Why are the ACCN elders/ committee still supporting these thieves? Do they not fear God?

they dont hate the evil (by doing the evil), this is why they do not fear the Lord.

- is locking the church doors so others cannot enter the Church love or hatred?
- is selling Gods Church when the members disagree on selling it, love or hatred
- is taking over ownership of a Church to be your own property that doesnt only belong to you, love or hatred?


evil means:
- the condition of being immoral, cruel, or morally bad

hate means:

And for that you refer to a reprobate mind??? Don't be a fool. Read Romans chapter 1 to understand that before you pronounce your judgement on someone you don't even know.

The Hungarian elders in 2018 told Matei Augustinov that the American ACCN elders need to fix the Columbia Station church issue and the Ilya Prediy split group that broke away from the Magda Cleveland Romanian Church.

Matei and the ACCN elders have not fixed anything. The only thing that they have done is lied to the European elders, and they continue to lie. Matei says that he is oblivious to the Columbia Station church being sold and ignores the situation by saying that he does not want to ever talk about the Columbia Station church members again when he is questioned.

As far as the Ilya Prediy group, we are not sure if they have reached a resolution with the ACCN elders. Perhaps someone can explain better about Ilya Prediy's split group. Where are they attending? Did they buy a building? Who is their elder?

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 7:16?

Also read revelations chapter 2 and 3 and see how many times the Apostle John writes speaking the words of Jesus: I know thy works.

All the elders I've ever mentioned I know quite well and have dealt with them. I know their works as do many many others. I cannot say a single word about most of the elders from Australia and Europe in many in the US because I don't know them I've never dealt with them and to give my opinion or pass judgement on them or their works would be wrong.

Is it seasoned with enough salt for you now?

So go ahead and label me a hypocrite - so painfully out of context and ignorant. No admonishing or correction is going to give 'grace' to the recipient which you are also using out of context.

And while I am responding to you one last time - I will graciously give you the last word - there are some elders both past and present that I would speak very highly of and I respect very much. Of course not everyone thinks the same and some might think that I'm completely out to lunch with my opinions but beyond leaning on God's Word and my oft imperfect attempts to live it, understand it and to apply it - I am willing to stand corrected at a moment's notice.

How can some of you allow yourselves to write false accusations and call certain Elders, criminals, or near criminals who should be locked up? What proof have you that they did these "deeds or crimes" worthy of prison? If you claim to know them personally, did you approach them and tell them their sin? Or you just believe the many false accusations and condem them as guilty? Were those words written in vain, "Speak not evil one of another!" I am sure that if you were to apply the biblical way in love,you would gain your brother, and sabe them from Satans trap.

people that choose to obey elders unconditionally, always find a way to water down fact on the sins of the elders.

until elders mistreat them, they choose to not want to see or know, but when they are attacked, then they start to jump.

it too late then.

when one member suffers, the others needs to stand for justice, not only when i am mistreated, then i will stand up for justice.

such a simple trap so many people choose to want to fall in.

accuse means:
to say that someone has done something morally wrong, illegal, or unkind.

this is not false accusations, its true facts thats in question.

partiality means:
- an unfair preference for one person or group over another.
- the fact of unfairly preferring or approving of something.

1 Tim.5:21
I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

"Against an elder receive not an accusation except it be before two or three witnesses"
Have these instructions been carried out?
What have these Elders done that are true and proven that they have done something "morally wrong,illegal, and or unkind and sinful", please specify and give actual proof and details, not just hearsay gossip! It is easy to follow the mob and cry "away with them", but we know what happens in such times, no rationing, just revenge for personal reasons.
"Judge nothing before time, God will bring all things to light at the day of Judgement, when every mans thoughts and hidden things will be brought to light." The accuser of the brethren has been cast down on this earth, he sows his seed even among God's people.

Don't mention the Bible or verses. These elders don't follow the Bible only when it suits them. That goes the same for you. Stop mentioning the Bible. Stop judging people. You did not walk in the shoes of those who have suffered in the hands of these elders. So STOP.

If you are offended at the Bible being quoted, it shows what then guides you, The Bible says, Thy word is a light unto my feet, yet you request that His light be not mentioned! Is it because it pricks you that you are easy to judge others, but if the word judges you, you will have it put behind your back! Read Psalms 50/17 "For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you......19 You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit.20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son."
Are not the Elders your brothers also? Should we believe all that is posted on this site???Even the many slanders and false testimonies? If that is your only answer, I pity you, for you are so wrong and blind, you have put aside the Word of God, for your agenda, to smear the Elders! Where in the writing of Accusations/elders do you see that judgement was passed on anyone? There were questions put so we can understand what sins you are talking about! The many Elders mentioned in previous comments have nothing to do with "depositions, or Court Tapes", As for those who were involved with Colombia Station, Has the Courts, or for that matter, the Church, found any of the Elders Sinning? Or Is it that you are sore that the church was sold and the Elders did nothing to Go against what the courts verdict was?
So do not put all Elders accountable for the lack of actions of a few!
To every dispute, there are more sides to the story, You hold yours to be absolute truth, but is it?

So, No I will not stop quoting and using the Bible, We sing,

"We will not leave the Bible, For pleasure or for pain! Therein is balm for wounded hearts, There all may wisdom gain! Although a host of foes may rage, Naught shall our souls affright! We gladly bear what men may do, For God protects the right!"

You Have Judged without knowing whether I have suffered at the hands of these "elders"! But I still press on to the goal eternal, no matter who says false and slanderous things about our brothers! I too have been there!

The Bible doesn't offend me. What annoys me is people who quote the Bible, past judgment, and dismiss facts. Are you stating that you should not believe the comments posted on this site or testimonials? You have already made up your mind on a guilty verdict and are closing a blind eye. I don't want to change your mind, but I will not stop telling people the truth. There is more evidence so you can judge all you want.

Why don't you mention the other sides of the story? Why are you quoting the Bible? Is that going to prove the other sides of your story?

You cannot commit a crime and then quote the Bible? If it were only as simple as you put it, there would be no prisons.

I'm also wondering if you are related to the Prediy's family or one of the elders. If you are related, why don't you tell us the other sides of the story: The Stefan's, elders, and the Ilya Prediy story? As far as Ilya Prediy goes, is it right to leave your home church and start your own church (divisions)? Does the Bible teach that? And then how about kicking members out of church? Does your Bible teach you that?

You cannot commit a crime and then throw Bible verse to justify the wrongdoing.

this is the elders sin:
- they approved the closing of the church at columbia station, instead of bringing justice to the guilty
(if you didnt know) (you are probably the only one left that didnt know)
and
the elders have punished the innocent in this case (the elders have punished those to whom the church doors were locked)
and
this bible verse refers to the elders:
Proverbs 17:15
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
the elders have done both.

instead of bringing disciplinary action on Dave for his sin, the elder committee gives him a chose to not accept his punishment of his sin.
this is another sin by the elder committee.
Dave lied, that the west akron brothers caught Dave in, and the elder committee know this ,and yet they justified Dave by not giving him any level of punishment for his sin.

Dave Nicholson (actually Nikolovic)has been judged, sentenced and convicted. He's now at the Brunswick Hills Church sitting as a backbencher in shame having been forced to resign by his own church /flock. Extremely rare if not a first in the ACCN. Kudos to the brave in West Akron. And BTW he's had heart bypass surgery. Resulting from church stress and losing his license to practice in Ohio as a CPA.

How can you from Australia know what took place in West Akron? Have you been present at such work? Or is it hearsay? David Nikolson is not an Elder anymore, Yet you accuse other Elders and call them criminals!
Were the sisters and all the brothers "punished" to whom the church doors locked, or only the ones that went to court with the "Thieves" that you call? Is it all right in America to go to court with a brother, whereas when it was in Sydney Australia,The thieves (whom you seem to have defended because they are your buddies) were justified in taking the church, because he paid the expenses, and the leadership was slandered as crooks and thieves! Does proverbs 17:15 apply there also, for all who justified the thief (Kernulac Family) and condemned the Leadership, Penca, Tomek, Lincu Etc.?????
You see, there you do not know the whole truth, or if you knew it, you defended him! Why? Is it because you have a beef with the leadership there? Is it allright to make Divisions in Australia? And Put up brothers who left the church and made divisions, and have them ordained Elders? Why can't Ilya Prediy call the Ukranian Elders and have him ordained, He wants to keep the narrow way, not like here in America, broad and worldly way!Or is it only in Australia that can be done, Just call the North American Elders, they will fix all things well for rebels!Do the American Elders know those members in Australia as they know the members they punished in Colombia Station?? Petras was one of those who created much grief for Elder Nenadov and Australian Elders, Now we have his fruits revealed here in America. How true it is, That his sin has found him out, no matter where he goes, he does the same.
And No, I'am not related to Ilyia Prediy or these Elders you mentioned!! Nor do I agree with the closing of the Colombia Station Church or the Stefan's stealing the building, they need to give that money to the foundation, so it can be sent to Africa or Brazil to help all those who fraternize with other faiths??

If all the elders were like Elder Brother Steve Nenadov it would be a blessing. Elder Steve Nenadov listened to Misa Petras when he told him to go back to Australia and fix what he participated in with Elder Kozy. Elder Brother Steve Nenadov went to Australia and apologized publically to the church and to those who he offended. When he returned from Australia he visited West Akron, and after the service was done Elder Steve Nenadov went straight to Misa, and he corrected what was done in between Misa and him, there were tears and forgiveness on both sides.

Elder Brother Steve Nenadov removed Paul Pentsa Sr. from eldership.

Who is the person that is writing about Misa and Steve Nenadov? Did you even meet him or is it just hearsay?

Paul Pentsa Sr. is fortunate because his brother Roman Pentsa, and George Bojanac support him.

Oh really? When did Steven Nenadov remove Penca or Szabo from being Elders? He tried to restrict them from working in other churches other then their own, but the churches did not accept their dictatorial on Australian elders and churches, they were not serving elders of Australian churches, after making so many divisions, Nenadov gave the oversight back to Australian Elders in 1986. In 1996 Penca brought the separated groups back to the church, Nenadov did not want to come for unification, but in 2001, he went to explain to the Australian churches why here there are two conferences, and made a mess of things. At the elders meeting in 2003 at La Puente, any restrictions imposed on Australian elders were removed, and a statement read that Australian Elders are not part of American Elder Body, but are independent just like the Hungarian Elders are.

that because nenadov did not reverse the deeds of Kozy, but continued it in, so the church had the right to stand for the right, regardless of the elder in question.
and
then instead repenting or making reconciliation, he took the friends for baptism to the keilor downs church, without the church knowing of this, hence, continuing further in the sin of Kozy and the american elders did NOTHING again.

thats why it was not the work of God, because some members gave Kozy a list of members names that he needs to punish without the church.

this is the error of sin by Andrew Kozy.

no elder has authority of the church or its members.
Christ is Head of the Church, not Kozy or Pentsa, nor any elder.

this needs to be an example what the church and members should NOT tolerate and allow the elders' actions.

Needs a "new constitution" for the ACCN ! The old one is sleazy-dictatorial...Runs over the church /The Body of CHRIST /...
-Creating "Elderism" only-...

200 years ago , when the first "ACCN constitution" was put together,has not been any airplane to travel long distance. And also in the bible you cannot find any reference to these things . What on earth the Nazarenes can embark on any air plane these days ? They should use horse-carts to travel, to remain good Christians ...

Ridiculous ,- isn't it ?

The "dictatorship" stems on the bad and stinky old soil and makes the thing to be rotten . The time does not solve anything ...Please remember to it.
Because all the dictators can fit into the system , like cog-wheels in the gearbox /one drives the other / . Make them "politically correct" ,but far from GOD...

time does not eliminate the committed sins.

confessing your sins does.

this is the hardest thing to do.

Jonah confessed and said, through me in.

Today, there's no more Jonah.

yes, exactly right.

the Holy Bible, and nothing but the Holy Bible.

the truth, and nothing but the truth.

nobody needs bylaws, committee's, constitution's.....for governments, states, councils...

we all need only the Holy Bible.

Yes ! Get back to " Ground-Zero "- "to the bible"!

* Love your enemy ! But first and "at least" , love and value your brothers in Christ !Christ sacrificed His life for your brothers .
* Be open to the church , that is the " Body of Christ"! / forget the committees/
* Confess your sins , but before that , -
* Make restitution ,restoration for the damages that you made in your previous acts!
* God is merciful , but be careful because God is Righteous about the "willfully -committed sins"after the redemption of your sins at baptism...
*Only God can give you "clemency ", Not the church , not the elders and not the leaders or anyone else.

It is still worth it . Please consider it, because your eternal life is on stake , not just the earthly life-span that is short as a life of a flower at the side of the road .

1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


Romans 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

East Akron was NOT doing well when Andy Kozy was ordained Elder. Andy Cerveny was the lead Minister supported by the Elders Body to be ordained. Due to many of the East Akron members being related to Andy Kozy he received the vote. This caused much turmoil in the East Akron Church! Unfortunately most of the Kozy family left East Akron in the following years.

A healthy Church includes a humble leader and supportive members. East Akron was lacking both of these!
