0ui vision is bolu, Boly Spiiit inspiieu anu veiy simple: To help
iaise up the next geneiation of leaueis foi the Bouy of Chiist anu
to help set Ameiica's chuiches FREE fiom the contiol anu
iestiictions of Su1cS. It is oui sinceie uesiie that you as the
ieauei of this mateiial help us in getting this book into the hanus
of eveiy chuich pastoi heie in Ameiica.

I shoulu also note that this book iepiesents the accumulation of
thousanus of houis of painstaking ieseaich. Aftei helping neaily
1S,uuu+ chuiches anu Coipoiation Sole's acioss Ameiica, aftei
ieviewing neaily ALL available infoimation iegaiuing the IRS
successfully piosecuting B0TB chuiches anu Coipoiation Soles,
aftei houis of iecoiueu consultations with B0TB the 0S
Bepaitment of }ustice anu the Inteinal Revenue Seivice, aftei
ieviewing neaily ALL State anu Feueial Laws ielateu to
chuiches, this book gives the ieauei answeis to neaily EvERY
conceivable question one woulu have if they weie inteiesteu in
eithei planting a new chuich oi ieoiganizing theii piesent
chuich to be out fiom unueineath the manipulative laws of
Su1cS. With the ieauei keeping in minu that the topic of the
Coipoiation Sole has not been taught in ANY seminaiy, theology,
oi in any law schools heie in the 0niteu States of Ameiica.

In auuition, I have puiposefully left out a vast majoiity of my
peisonal philosophical views (to which, I coulu have wiitten
anothei Suu+ pages of content). I felt that the majoiity of the
ieaueis of this mateiial (like youiself ieauing this now) aie
being calleu to be the next geneiation of leaueis the Bouy of
Chiist neeus. Theie is a quickening in my spiiit that time is of tbe

14
essence. It is ciitical to begin equipping the saints foi the time of
gieat calamity that is soon coming upon us. It is time to iestoie
uouly oiuei to both the chuich anu to cieation itself.

It's time to confiont the spiiit of feai that pievents a pastoi fiom
pieaching against aboition oi the same feai that silences a
piophet fiom speaking out against a political canuiuate foi
public office who they know to have a heait of ungouliness. To
stop the manipulative feai that paialyzes a teachei fiom telling
theii congiegation that maiiiage is foi life anu that uivoice was
nevei intenueu to be an option, anu the same feai that piessuies
an apostle to nevei attempt to openly influence oi piomote
iighteous legislation to biing cieation itself back into its gloiious
fieeuom of uouly oiuei.

We have been calleu to iule this Eaith anu tolu that we'ie moie
than conqueiois. 0ui position in the Loiu is so significant, that it
is pioclaimeu in 1
st
Coiinthians 6:S, "Bo you not know tbot we
will juJqe onqels? Eow mucb more tbe tbinqs of tbis life!" anu that
accoiuing to Romans 8:2u-21, "Ior tbe creotion wos subjecteJ to
frustrotion, not by its own cboice, but by tbe will of tbe one wbo
subjecteJ it, in bope tbot tbe creotion itself will be liberoteJ from
its bonJoqe to Jecoy onJ brouqbt into tbe freeJom onJ qlory of
tbe cbilJren of 6oJ." This means uou uelibeiately biought
fiustiation to ALL of cieation (the 0niveise itself) in hopes that
WE as the chiluien of uou will use oui anointeu gifts anu talents
to biing foith uouly oiuei, in hopes to libeiate the cieation anu
biing it into both fieeuom anu gloiy!

Bo you know who you aie anu who the uou is that you seive.

Yet, if we'ie so poweiful, why uo we have a Chiistian uivoice
iate of neaily 6u%. Why aie oui homes being split up. Why aie
so many of oui chiluien without fatheis. Why aie oui chiluien
not being taught that maiiiage is foi life anu uivoice is not even
an option foi consiueiation. Why insteau of complaining about
homosexual television piogiamming like NBC's, "The New
Noimal" aie we not insteau "buying" NBC anu cieating oui own

1S
piogiams. Insteau of complaining about banks anu foieclosuies,
why aie we not insteau "becoming banks".

Why. I'll tell you why, it's because since 1969 we have hau
neaily 4 geneiations of Chiistian leaueis that have completely
uisenfianchiseu the Bouy of Chiist. By oui veiy uefinition as
leaueis, we aie supposeu to be teacheis of the law anu yet 9u%
of the pastois I speak with can't even tell me the uiffeience
between Su1cS anu Su8c1a of oui own 0S Coue of Laws! If they
can't explain to me mouein law, how in the woilu aie they going
to teach the Bouy of Chiist Biblical law.! This gives new meaning
to when the Apostle Paul wiote in 1
st
Timothy 1:7-8 which
states, "Tbey wont to be teocbers of tbe low, but tbey Jo not know
wbot tbey ore tolkinq obout or wbot tbey so confiJently offirm!
But we know tbe low is qooJ wben one teocbes it properly,..."

Bow can anyone honestly unueistanu wheie his oi hei giace
comes fiom without fiist being taught the law.! Without the law,
giace has no meaning!

Theiefoie, this is foi those biotheis anu sisteis that will heeu the
call of this book, who nevei hau the knowleuge in how to
piopeily oiganize theii ministiy oi calling. This book is P0RE
KN0WLEBuE. It is the "how to" anu "tiaue seciets" that will
empowei you to take youi ministiy to its next level. Take this
incieuible gift of knowleuge anu go foith to biing fieeuom BACK
to The Bouy of Chiist!

Ny fellow Chiistians, the Bouy of Chiist is in bonuage! }ust like
the Bebiews of olu that weie seivants unuei the Phaiaoh, the
Feueial Law of Su1cS has effectively enslaveu the mouein uay
chuich anu the Bouy of Chiist.

Theie was no othei ieason foi Piesiuent Lynuon }ohnson to
uiaft Su1cS into law othei than foi the intent of silencing the
chuich in all matteis of uoveinment. This was its intenueu
puipose anu now aftei only 44 shoit yeais, it has all but
accomplisheu its task. The law of Su1cS has cieateu a ciisis of
such epic piopoitions since 1969, in only a few shoit
geneiations since the passage of that law by Piesiuent Lynuon
}ohnson, so that cuiiently touay 1uu% of iegisteieu oi
incoipoiateu chuiches in the 0niteu States aie now lawfully
consiueieu to be "Cieatuies of the State"!

1uu% of these Su1cS chuiches aie legally anu contiactually
obligateu to auheie to the seveie iestiictions of Su1cS in oiuei
to claim the "conJitionol privileqe" of tax exemption. If you'ie a
ministiy leauei ieauing this anu you'ie unuei the false
impiession that you'ie in fact N0T unuei Su1cS's juiisuiction
simply because you uiu not apply foi 'iecognition' of youi Su1cS
status, then go aheau this Sunuay moining anu simultaneously
viueo iecoiu anu tell youi congiegation membeis that you
woulu like foi them to vote foi oi against a political canuiuate foi
office! Tell them to pass out biochuies to theii community in an
effoit to uiiectly influence political legislation anu then tell them
that youi chuich plans on lobbying Congiess. Recoiu the entiie
chuich seivice anu then senu that iecoiuing as a foimal
complaint to the IRS commissionei in youi local juiisuiction anu
then finu out within Su uays what happens to youi chuich's tax-
exempt status! You see, if youi chuich has eithei an

Such tiusts have absolutely no meiit whatsoevei in law that

uata collection tool was placeu into the hanus of the Antichiist!
0i if both state anu feueial goveinments tiy to ieuefine the

anu the chuich alone, as oiiginally specifieu in uou's woiu.

These ieasons aie WBY this book is so impoitant to place into
the hanus of each pastoi heie in Ameiica! Because Coipoiation
Sole is the only known lawful way a chuich can oiganize its
financial assets, wheieas the chuich itself is N0T consiueieu to
be unuei the law of Su1cS but insteau unuei the juiisuiction of
both 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a) anu 26 0.S.C 6uSS(S)(a)(1-S).

To unueistanu this bettei, please allow me to biiefly explain the
aspects of both the histoiy of the Coipoiation Sole as well as the

The Coipoiation Sole is one of the oluest foims of a Coipoiation
in the woilu. The initial genesis of the Coipoiation Sole uates
back to Roman Empeioi Constantine in the yeai S2S AB (Aftei
Constantine ueclaieu Chiistianity the official ieligion of the
Roman Empiie). It was fiist useu by the Pope foi use by the
Bishops of the chuich foi ecclesiastical puiposes anu, in
paiticulai, holuing chuich piopeity anu othei assets. The
Bishop was authoiizeu to act on his own authoiity, absent the
contiol of a typical boaiu of uiiectois.

When the Bishop iesigneu his position, uieu, was incapacitateu,
oi was foicefully iemoveu fiom office by the piesiuing pope oi
aichbishop, then title to the piopeity passeu not to the bishop's
heiis (even though Catholic bishops weie not peimitteu to
maiiy, it was not uncommon that they hau seveial chiluien), but
to a successoi that is uesignateu by the coipoiate sole (usually
anothei bishop). While the office of coipoiate sole helu title to
piopeity, that piopeity uiu not "belong" to the bishop
peisonally. Rathei, he helu the piopeity in tiust foi the chuich.
In this sense, the bishop was veiy much like a tiustee. Those
ancient Coipoiation Soles weie often foimeu unuei canon law
(chuich law) anu, theiefoie, absent the peimission anu
juiisuiction of the state.

The use of the ecclesiastical Coipoiation Sole by Catholic bishops
anu leaueis continueu laigely uninteiiupteu foi a numbei of
centuiies. Bowevei, things began to iauically change in the
sixteenth centuiy, iegaiuing the funuamental natuie anu legal
attiibutes of the Coipoiation Sole. This was laigely the iesult of
an histoiic phenomenon known touay as "The Refoimation". The
Refoimation spieau like wilufiie thioughout a numbei of
Euiopean nations. Bue to the natuie of this question, I will focus
attention on Englanu anu the significance of its actions in
ielationship to the mouein uay Coipoiation Sole.


2u
In 1SS4, King Beniy vIII split fiom the chuich in an act of
iebellion that is known touay as, "The Act of Supiemacy". The
motives behinu this split weie uue to King Beniy vIII having an
affaii anu wanting to uivoice his cuiient wife. Because the
Catholic Chuich was solely in chaige of any potential
uissolutions of maiiiage, King Beniy vIII sought the Pope's
appioval foi being able to maiiy his mistiess. The Pope uenieu
this iequest, which gieatly angeieu the King. In essence, what
tianspiieu next was the foimation of one of the woilu's fiist
uenominational splits. The King ueciueu to foigo the "uivine
iight of popes" in favoi of his new uoctiine of "the uivine iight of
kings" anu thus ciowneu himself the "loiu soveieign heau" of the
Chuich of Englanu. It was also at this time that the Chuich of
Englanu became Anglican (Episcopal). At this time the Chuich-
State was effectively ieplaceu by a State-Chuich. Wbicb on o siJe
note, if you tbink obout wby tbe Anqlicon cburcb toJoy bos openly
bomosexuol bisbops, its rooteJ in tbe foct tbot tbe qenesis of tbis
cburcb wos creoteJ from tbe Jesires of o sexuolly Jeviont kinq!
Wben tbe beoJ is out of orJer, tbe wbole boJy is out of orJer!

Fiom this point, much of the Chuich of Englanu was iefoimeu.
Foi example, auoiation of Naiy (Naiiolatiy) anu piayei to the
saints was abolisheu as iuolatious. Theii vaiious statues weie
ueclaieu "iuols" anu weie iemoveu fiom all chuich piopeities.
Woiship of the elements of the Euchaiist was ueclaieu to be
iuolatiy. Tiansubstantiation was ueemeu heiesy. Reciting the
iosaiy on iosaiy beaus was ueemeu "vain pagan iepetition". In
auuition, the Latin Nass was ueclaieu supeistitious anu was
abolisheu in favoi of an English woiship seivice which
emphasizeu the pieaching of uou's Woiu {in o lonquoqe tbe
people coulJ unJerstonJ, becouse up until tbis point, tbe worJ of
6oJ wos beinq preocbeJ in lotin).

As a means of contiolling the people, anu keeping them
subseivient to Catholic leaueiship hieiaichy, the Roman Catholic
Chuich hau, foi many centuiies, pieventeu the people fiom
knowing what the Woiu of uou says anu ieauing it themselves.
The Refoimation foievei abolisheu this. The Woiu of uou was

21
tianslateu into the common tongue anu eageily given to the
people. The English Bible tianslatoi, William Tynuale, foietolu
that, "every plowboy woulJ reoJ tbe Scripture for bimself".

But foi many, the Refoimation was also not as thoioughgoing as
they hau hopeu foi. Ceitain vestiges of Roman Catholicism
iemaineu, incluuing the office of coipoiate sole. Bowevei, with
the Act of Supiemacy, anu the king being ueclaieu the "loiu
soveieign heau of the chuich", theie also began to emeige a new
unueistanuing of who (oi what) was heau of the Coipoiation
Sole. In this State-Chuich system the Coipoiation Sole was
piomptly conveiteu into a cieatuie of civil law. Bishops, iathei
than being emissaiies of the pope, weie now agents of the king
anu of the state.

Since the Anglican Chuich of Englanu was (anu is) a hieiaichical
chuich goveineu fiom the top uown by bishops ("episcopal"
meaning "bishop iule"), anu since membeis in such a chuich
have little if any say in the goveinance of theii chuich, the office
of the coipoiate sole was inheiently consonant with the chuich
stiuctuie in Englanu.

Bowevei, neaiei to the 17uu's, attituues in the Ameiican
Colonies about chuich polity weie altogethei uiffeient. Rathei
than a top-uown bishop-iule hieiaichy, most Colonial Ameiican
chuiches weie goveineu bottom-up, usually by elueis electeu by
the local congiegation, anu such elueis weie always accountable
to those who hau electeu them. Accountability was the key to
pieventing the potential tyiannies of bishops enuemic in both
Catholicism anu Anglicanism.

As the Rev. Cotton Nathei put it: "Never entrust o mon witb more
power tbon you ore content for bim to use; for use it be will." A
gieat many of the Colonists hau known fiist-hanu the abuses of
the English Bishopiic, as exeiciseu thiough the office of
coipoiate sole. Stai Chambei abuses, oi "examinations", unuei
toituie, incluuing wiuespieau executions at the hanus of the

22
bishops, hau become a majoi factoi in "ieligious
nonconfoimists" coming to Ameiica.

0ltimately, the Coipoiation Sole uiu finu its way to Ameiica by
way of Englanu. Bowevei, the Coipoiation Sole nevei gaineu
iecognition in the Ameiican Colonies as a canon law institution.
In fact, it's impossible to iuentify any specific histoiic example of
the use of the canon law Coipoiation Sole in Ameiica, eithei
befoie oi aftei Ameiica gaineu inuepenuency, whethei by
Catholics oi anyone else. Catholic scholais ueny that the
Coipoiation Sole, as useu in Ameiica, has evei been anything
othei than a civil law entity.

Because the Coipoiation Sole was so iaiely useu by the eaily
colonists anu states, theie aie almost no iecoius of its existence
in many states histoiical iecoius. In fact, it is so iaie that
cuiiently, no state east of the Nississippi even has a Coipoiation
Sole law (even in tbe Bible belt of Americo)! Because of its iaiity
heie in Ameiica, it is cuiiently not taught about in ANY known
seminaiy school, theological univeisity, oi law school heie in the
0niteu States of Ameiica. Not a single ministei we've spoken
with (which have been thousanus) has even heaiu of its
existence when getting theii oiuination licenses.

Right now, since 1969, the 0niteu States goveinment has uone
eveiything within its powei to silence the mouein uay Bouy of
Chiist fiom all matteis of politics. The genesis of the law of
Su1cS actually came as a uiiect iesult of the chuich stanuing up
uuiing the civil iights movements of the 196u's. In 1964 anu
1968, chuich leaueis all ovei Ameiica stoou in soliuaiity against
segiegation. Leaueis such as Reveienu Bi. Naitin Luthei King }i.
weie instiumental in foiming what we know touay as, "Tbe Civil
Riqbts Act of 1964 onJ 1968." The goveinment (specificolly tben
Senotor lynJon B. }obnson) feaiing the powei of the chuich to
influence legislation anu politics, immeuiately began uiafting the
Su1cS law into existence. In 0ctobei 9
th
, 1969 the Su1cS was
wiitten anu signeu into law by then Senatoi anu eventually
Piesiuent Lynuon B. }ohnson.

2S
It also neeus to be histoiically ielevant to note that Piesiuent
}ohnson was known as a man that exhibiteu both feai anu
manipulation. Nany histoiians nicknameu his manipulation
tactic "The }ohnson Tieatment". Bis Piesiuency was also
consiueieu at that time as the height of mouein uay libeialism
heie in Ameiica. Is it any wonuei that Su1cS cieates such feai
anu manipulation in chuiches. Its law was wiitten by a man that
uiu nothing but piomote feai anu manipulation!

I have a quote on the fiist page of my piayei jouinal fiom
Eumunu Buike that ueclaies, "Tbe only tbinq necessory for tbe
triumpb of evil, is for qooJ men to Jo notbinq."

Piesently, Chiistians account foi moie then 7u% of iegisteieu
voteis. If chuiches ieoiganize theii financial stiuctuies to a
Coipoiation Sole anu thus biing the entiiety of theii ministiy out
fiom unueineath the manipulative 'conJitionol privileqe of tax-
exemption unuei the law of Su1cS anu insteau biought the
chuich unuei both 26 Su8(c)(1)(a) anu 26 0.S.C
6uSS(S)(a)(1-S) - which contain N0 conuitions to the piivilege
of tax exemption - then we woulu expeiience a gigantic
"Kinguom Shift" in this countiy. The Inteinal Revenue Seivice
woulu leave the chuich alone. Policy makeis woulu be tieating
the chuich as the most significant votei base in Ameiica anu
woulu be begging us foi political favoi. Laws such as B0NA
(Befense of Naiiiage Act) woulun't even neeu to exist because
the chuich woulu have taken all powei to license maiiiage out of
the hanus of the state anu biing it into the hanus of the Bouy of
Chiist wheie it belongs in the fiist place!

These, anu many moie ieasons listeu below aie why we heie at
The Empoweiment Centei, wish to see eveiy Chiistian chuich in
Ameiica ieoiganizeu piopeily with a Coipoiation Sole.

As you will ieau using the facts to follow, touay, the Coipoiation
Sole may veiy well iepiesent itself as the mouein uay savioi of
chuiches fiom goveinment iule anu iestiiction.

You see, RIuBT N0W the saving giace foi the Chuich to set itself

bieak uown Su1cS line-by-line anu show you how Chiistians
incoipoiating the piopei use of a Coipoiation Sole can begin to
instantly TAKE BACK theii uouly authoiity heie in Ameiica.
Fiist, let me explain how cuiient Su1cS laws iestiict Chuiches
fiom influencing uoveinment policy. It has to ueal with the
specific way the law was wiitten. Su1cS states,

"Corporotions, onJ ony community cbest, funJ, or founJotion,
orqonizeJ onJ operoteJ exclusively for reliqious, cboritoble,
scientific, testinq for public sofety, literory, or eJucotionol

7J: O:B2U 2, 29 7J: O:782U,

Notice that the Su1cS law 0NLY has juiisuiction ovei,
'Coipoiations, anu any community chest, funu, oi founuations'
being useu by ieligious oiganizations anu that the woiu 'Chuich'
is mysteiiously absent fiom this list. In fact, the woiu Chuich
uoesn't even come up in the law itself! If Chuiches aie
automatically consiueieu tax exempteu puisuant to 26 0SC
Su8(c)(1)(a) anu not iequiieu to have a Su1cS status then how
in the woilu aie Chuiches STILL C0NSIBEREB unuei the law of
Su1cS even without them seeking any official iecognition of
theii Su1cS status.! The answei ueals with B0W Chuiches
incoipoiate anu set up theii banking to ieceive uonations.
Cuiiently, 99% of ALL Chuiches in the 0niteu States incoipoiate
themselves in oiuei to open up a bank account to accept anu
ieceive uonations fiom congiegation membeis. In fact, without
being incoipoiateu, it is neai impossible foi a Chuich to open a
bank account. As soon as the Chuich oiganizes itself anu it's
Pastoi sits uown with a banking iepiesentative, the bank iep is
going to ask the Chuich foi pioof of both it's state iegisteieu
aiticles of incoipoiation anu it's IRS iegisteieu "EIN" numbei.
The bank X2UU 957 allow the Chuich to open up an account
without these two items. This is why 99% of Chuiches
incoipoiate when oiganizing themselves! As soon as the Chuich
incoipoiates, it now falls unuei the juiisuiction of Su1cS,
because iemembei that the veiy fiist sentence of Su1cS coveis,
"Coipoiations, anu any community chest, funu, oi founuations"
(with emphasis on the woiu 'coipoiation'). Even if the Chuich
tiies to get cieative anu institutes an unincoipoiateu expiess oi
ceitifieu tiust fiom eithei a CPA oi Tax Attoiney, since the name
of tiust is implicitly helu in the name of the Chuich itself, the IRS
will still countei that the Tiust itself is a, "community chest,
funu, oi founuation" foi use on behalf of a ieligious oiganization.
This leaves almost no ioom foi a Chuich to oiganize itself
without coming unuei this completely satanic law.

ulau you askeu! Beie in Ameiica, its been unfoitunate that tax
scam peuuleis encouiaging inuiviuuals to not file lawful taxes
oweu to the uoveinment have notoiiously useu the Coipoiation
Sole foi its unintenueu puiposes. I must ieemphasis that the
Coipoiation Sole has also N0T been taught about in ANY (I
iepeat ANY) Bible College, 0niveisity, Theology School anu Law
School heie in Ameiica. In fact, the Coipoiation Sole is so giossly
unuei taught heie in Ameiica that as of touay, I am still cuiiently
the only authoi in Ameiican histoiy that has wiitten anu
publisheu the Book on the Coipoiation Sole anu mouein Chuich
tax law. What makes the Coipoiation Sole so unique is that it is
an incoipoiateu office helu WITBIN a Chuich anu N0T the
Chuich itself. This means, an unincoipoiateu Chuich that is
neithei consiueieu a Coipoiation, community chest, funu oi
founuation N0ST be foimeu FIRST befoie you'ie Chuich can
incoipoiate a S0LE office position that holus all of the Chuiches
finances. This means the Coipoiation Sole is neithei youi Chuich
noi youi ministiy. It is only an inuiviuual office within the
Chuich (typically an 0veiseei, Bishop, Pastoi oi Teachei) that
incoipoiates theii position foi the banking puiposes of the
Chuich. Without getting hypei technical, the Coip Sole acts as
the bank account on behalf of the Chuich while leaving the
Chuich completely outsiue of Su1cS's juiisuiction.

Boes this mean that the Coipoiation Sole is consiueieu a Su1cS
since it's incoipoiateu.

Yes, it uoes. Bowevei, with gieat emphasis: TBE CB0RCB anu
the Coipoiation Sole ARE TW0 SEPARATE LEuAL CREAT0RES
with TW0 SEPARATE LEuAL }0RISBICTI0NS. Since the
Coipoiation Sole is just an office helu within the Chuich anu not
the Chuich itself, the Chuich itself becomes immune to the
juiisuiction of the cuiient Su1cS law anu insteau comes fully
unuei the manuatoiy tax exemption law of 26 0.S.C
Su8(c)(1)(a). This law of 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a) ensuies the
Chuich ietains its tax exemption status without any of the

27
iestiictive stipulations that Su1cS has. Theiefoi, Su1cS 0NLY
has juiisuictions ovei the activities of the Coipoiation Sole itself.

We have founu that the most lawful way to oiganize a Chuich
befoie setting up it's subsequent Coipoiation Sole is to establish
it thiough a legal uocument calleu a, "Statutoiy Beclaiation of
Chuich Establishment Affiuavit" (which is incluueu in this book).
This affiuavit seives to lawfully BECLARE anu F0LFILL ALL 14
points to the IRS's own uefinitions anu stanuaius to be
consiueieu a Chuich. You see, in oiuei foi a Chuich to meet the
IRS's 14-point stanuaius foi being consiueieu a Chuich, a Chuich
must meet the following conuitions:

1. Bistinct legal existence
2. Recognizeu cieeu anu foim of woiship
S. Befinite anu uistinct ecclesiastical goveinment
4. Foimal coue of uoctiine anu uiscipline

Answei: Yes. Even though I answeieu this above, I want to
ieiteiate that if you have a chuich membei that lives in a

Answei: Almost too many to count! Fiistly, neaily 98% of
chuiches oiganizeu touay in the 0niteu States of Ameiica have
voluntaiily iescinueu theii status as even being uefineu as a
chuich anu have insteau opteu to be consiueieu both "creotures
of tbe stote" anu oi a "reliqious orqonizotion". Theie aie seveial
ways a chuich makes these uisastious mistakes:

2&'$%3+ 41 5 / -.*6-. 78#-"69"6%$+': $.+&6 ;&#&'$6<0 This is a
common mistake uue chiefly to a bank iequiiing that in oiuei to
open up an account, they woulu like to see the chuich iegisteieu
as an incoipoiation with theii Secietaiy of State's office. What
the senioi ministei may fail to iealize is, the instant a chuich
incoipoiates its self, it now is lawfully uefineu as a "cieatuie of
the state" anu is then no longei even legally iecognizeu as a
chuich.

S8

This is puisuant to 0niteu States Supieme Couit iuling "Bale v
Benkle" which Chief }ustice Nelville Fullei states: "A corporotion
is o creoture of tbe stote. lt is presumeJ to be incorporoteJ for tbe
benefit of tbe public. lt receives certoin speciol privileqes onJ
froncbises onJ bolJs tbem subject to tbe lows of tbe stote onJ tbe
limitotion of its cborter. lts powers ore limiteJ by low. lt con moke

its creotion. Tbere is o reserveJ riqbt in tbe leqisloture to
investiqote its controcts onJ oscertoin if it bos exceeJeJ its
powers."

Also, since incoipoiations fall uiiectly unuei the juiisuiction of
Su1cS, the chuich is now consiueieu by law to be uefineu as a
"ieligious oiganization". A Bono IiJe chuich unuei the
}uiisuiction of 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a) is N0T incoipoiateu at all
noi is it alloweu to be incoipoiateu. 0nce a chuich makes this
fiist common fatal mistake, they have (whethei thiough
ignoiance of the law oi theii own acquiescence) completely
iescinueu theii iights to be consiueieu a bono fiJe chuich, anu
aie now entiiely unuei the teiiible juiisuiction of Su1cS.

5+ ( >*C. +%).; Since a Coipoiation Sole is legally uefineu as a
"natuial peison" accoiuing to the IRS, a Coipoiation Sole falls
unuei the legal uefinition of an "inuiviuual" which is also
uesciibeu in 0S Common Law iuling Bale v Benkle which Chief
}ustice Nelville Fullei states,

"Tbe inJiviJuol moy stonJ upon bis constitutionol Riqbts os o
citizen. Ee is entitleJ to corry on bis privote business in bis own
woy. Eis power to controct is unlimiteJ. Ee owes no sucb Juty [to

A "natuial peison" anu an "inuiviuual" aie uefineu by Blacks Law

2+C*Y*CA(-, oJj. (ISc) 1. Existing as an inuivisible entity. 2. Foi
ielating to a single peison oi thing, as opposeu to a gioup.

Theie is a possible legal aigument to be maue that even though a
Coipoiation Sole is iegisteieu with a Secietaiy of State as a
coipoiation, that it in fact has the same iights as inuiviuual
iights, which supeiseue coipoiate law. It is the only known
coipoiation in Ameiican law to uo this.

%#L &$P' Q*6&'L&-$&"#0 98% of oiganizeu chuiches in the 0niteu
States of Ameiica have sought official iecognition of tax
exemption fiom the IRS. Chuiches have eiioneously fileu an IRS
foim 1u2S to accomplish this. It's EXTRENELY INP0RTANT to
note that seeking official iecognition of tax exemption fiom the
IRS anu filing a foim 1u2S is the absolute W0RST P0SSIBLE
mistake a chuich can make when oiganizing itself.

Fiistly, puisuant to 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a), a chuich was NEvER
iequiieu to notify the Tieasuiy Bepaitment of theii tax exempt
status to begin with! They weie automatically exempt simply foi
the fact that they weie a chuich!

Beie is what 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a) actually says,

each taxable yeai aie noimally not moie than $S,uuu.

So, unueistanu that when it states, "new oiganizations N0ST
notify the Tieasuiy" that the official notification IS the IRS foim
1u2S. ALL oiganizations besiues chuiches anu piivate
founuations with net eaining less then $S,uuu aie iequiieu by
law to file this foim 1u2S to seek appioval of theii tax-exempt
status. Chuiches weie NEvER iequiieu oi lawfully compelleu to
file this foim.

You might ask, "Why is filing a foim 1u2S so teiiible." Well foi
staiteis, piioi to signing the foim 1u2S anu puisuant to 26 0.S.C
6uSS(S)(A)(1-S), youi chuich was pieviously manuatoiily
exempteu fiom even being iequiieu to file annual infoimational
ietuins to the IRS! Now if a chuich has signeu the foim 1u2S,
they have contiactually obligateu themselves to file theii annual
infoimational iepoits with the IRS consecutively eveiy thiee
yeais anu if they iefuse, they will have theii tax-exempt status
automatically ievokeu! 0nueistanu: Youi chuich was pieviously
NANBAT0RILY exempteu fiom filing anu now insteau you've
contiactually agieeu to not only file, but if you fail to file
consecutively eveiy thiee yeais you will automatically lose youi
entiie tax exempt status anu will be iequiieu to ieapply with the
IRS.


41
In auuition, not only has youi chuich ceaseu being consiueieu a
chuich at this point (anu now only consiueieu a ieligious
oiganization) it has contiactually obligateu itself to the Tieasuiy
Bepaitment with ALL the piovisions of Su1cS. This was the veiy
ieason why Bianch Ninistiies with Ban Little as theii pastoi
weie the fiist chuich in Ameiica to evei loose its tax-exempt

"Broncb Hinistries, lnc. operotes tbe cburcb ot Pierce Creek
{"cburcb"), o Cbristion cburcb locoteJ in Binqbomton, New York.
ln 198S, $.+ -.*6-. 6+R*+'$+L onJ receiveJ o letter from tbe lRS
recoqnizinq its tox-exempt stotus."

You see, the chuich (Bianch Ninistiies) even though it was
alieauy tax exempt, eiioneously sought iecognition of theii tax
exempt status anu thus enteieu into a contiactual agieement
with the IRS.

"Tbe cburcb oppeors to ossume tbot tbe witbJrowol of o
-"#L&$&"#%A 96&S&A+C+ for foilure to meet tbe conJition is in itself
on unconstitutionol burJen on its free exercise riqbt."

Bo you see. The instant Bianch Ninistiies applieu foi official
iecognition via the IRS foim 1u2S, it accepteu that wheie
pieviously theii tax-exempt status was manuatoiily exempteu,
that now it was a uepenuent upon seveial "conJitionol
privileqes". Regaiuless, if the uecision on behalf of Bianch
ministiies to voluntaiily waive theii legal iights by signing the
foim 1u2S was uue to theii lack of knowleuge oi unueistanuing
of the law itself, it uiun't mattei. When Bianch ministiies tiieu to
aigue that loosing theii tax-exempt status was unconstitutional,
the piesiuing juuge iuleu, "We finJ tbis orqument more creotive
tbon persuosive." This was uue to the fact that veiy simply, when

42
Bianch Ninistiies fileu the foim 1u2S, they signeu a legal
C0NTRACT that stipulateu they woulun't engage in political
activities anu then when they violateu the teims of the contiact
then theii tax exemption status was ievokeu, anu they hau no
legal iecouise!

Also, the only two conuitional piivileges that a chuich ieceives
fiom the feueial goveinment when they sign a foim 1u2S aie
that they get ieuuceu iates on postage stamps anu that they have
the ability to apply foi feueial giants. That's it. The chuich then
waives all its iights to even being consiueieu a chuich, they
waive theii iights to be exempteu fiom taxes without conuitions,
they waive theii iights fiom being manuatoiily exempteu fiom
filing annual infoimation ietuins, they waive theii iights to
engage in politics, they waive theii iights to uistiibute political
piopaganua, they waive theii iights to influence legislation, they
waive theii iights to auvocate who theii congiegations shoulu oi
shoulu not vote foi on election uay, all foi nothing moie then
being able to get bettei iates on postage stamps anu the ability
to apply foi feueial giants. The woist pait of all: 98% of
chuiches in Ameiica have uone this! It biings a whole new
meaning to when Paul wiote in 1
st
Timothy 1:7, "Tbey wont to be
teocbers of tbe low, but tbey Jo not know wbot tbey ore tolkinq
obout or wbot tbey so confiJently offirm!" oi bettei yet, "my
people perisb for tbeir lock of knowleJqe" Bosea 4:6

Even if a chuich avoius these two majoi mistakes, the
oveiwhelming pioblem is that, without a chuich oiganizing itself
with a Coipoiation Sole, it is cuiiently impossible to oiganize
itself financially anu N0T be unuei the juiisuiction of Su1cS. In
this case, the Coipoiation Sole is the saving giace foi the chuich
in this houi of neeu.

Even if a chuich ueciueu to get veiy legally savvy anu attempt to
cieate theii own veision of oui affiuavit anu then even get an
unincoipoiateu ceitifieu tiust fiom a CPA oi Attoiney (which
uoes not iequiie an Feueial Tax EIN numbei) in oiuei to
establish its bank accounts, it woulu STILL be consiueieu a

4S
'community chest, funu oi founuation' accoiuing to the IRS anu
theiefoi come unuei the juiisuiction of the Su1cS law.

Also, theie is a common misconception among pastois that if
they uo not apply foi a Su1cS that somehow that makes them
immune to the law anu of the juiisuiction of Su1cS. This coulu
not be fuithei fiom the tiuth. As I explaineu piioi, the instant a
chuich eithei incoipoiates itself, gets a Feueial Tax
Iuentification Numbei (incluuing but not limiteu to an EIN
numbei), cieates a financial tiust, asset holuings entity, bank
account (checking oi savings) oi even gets an unincoipoiateu
ceitifieu tiust fiom eithei an attoiney oi CPA, then the entiiety
of the chuich A0T0NATICALLY falls 1uu% unuei the
juiisuiction of the law of 26 0.S.C Su1(c)(S).

This is why the Coipoiation Sole is so poweiful, because it
lawfully sepaiates the juiisuiction of the chuich fiom its
incoipoiateu office bank accounts (theieby biinging the chuich
unuei the juiisuiction of 26 0.S.C Su8(c)(1)(a) insteau of the
Su1cS law.) No othei methou outsiue of a Coipoiation Sole can
accomplish this feat.
