CHRIST'S BAPTIST CHURCH : INTRODUCTION

CHRIST'S BAPTIST CHURCH DOCTRINE

CHRIST'S BAPTIST CHURCH DOCTRINE: For those of you who worry this is NOT A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH! The teaching of HELL is what Christ saves your Soul from. So because Satan can appear as an Angel of Light it is very important that the new convert test the Spirits to see if they are from God or not if the Spirit Cannot say "Jesus is Lord" then that Spirit would not be from God, only the Spirit that can say "Jesus is Lord" is true. So therefore we hold that asking Christ into your heart is only a conversionary experience so Baptism by immersion is essential to the salvation experience for the imparting of the Holy Spirit and the Speaking in tongues with the gift of interpretation is essential to Salvation as well as finding God's will for your life might be. We also hold to the 7th Day Adventist that SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH by Pastor Greg Payne

**************

On one recon patrol near "The Fishnet" we got ambushed by a Squad of 6 Viet Cong in an open rice paddie, where we stood up and charged the Viet Cong ambush in a typical textbook
classic on line Infantry assault with M-16's on fully Automatic. The firefight ended in our favor. I was on three anphibious assaults off of a U.S Navy Landing Craft (LCM) (Landing Craft

Marine) called "THE GREY GHOST) On one Company operation my Company went up into the deep dark jungles of Bien Hoa, where we found 50, 100 lbs. of raw rice in an NVA Rice Cashe

On night we got a late night radio call asking us to make enemy contact in an area that was not to far from our ambush site so we rowed down a canal in a sanpan bamboo boat were we ended up in engagging the enemy in my second "On Line Assault" only ths on was at night. The towns and hamlets we worked or encamped near in our NDP's we operated our combat

Operations and Patrols were: Bien Hoa, Bear Cat, "The Fishnet", Binh Chanh, My Yen,"The Pineapple" and the Cambodian Border areas. WE EXPIERIENCED ALOT OF MORTAR ATTACKS WITH COMMUNIST 82m MOTRTARS.

Charlie Company 4/12 199th LIB had a firefight right next to our ambush site about 6:00pm
near My Yen.

My Squad Leader SGT Richard Allen Thursby two weeks before he was killed stepped flat footed on a "Booby Trap Tripwire" and realizing what he did lowered a can of M-60 Machinegun Ammo off his shoulder and set it down on the tripwire to hold it down untilhe could get off the wire and jump to safety. He then had us tie a roll of twine on to the canvas strap on the ammo can got down behind the rice paddy dyke pulled the ammo can off the tripwire and blew the "booby trap" in place.

We operated in III Corps Tacticle Zone in War Zone C & D towards the Cambodian Border in Gia Dinh Province and a geographical area called the "Pineapple."

The Company Operations we went on included:

1969 TET Counter Offensive Phase I

Operation Strangler I

Operation Strangler II

Operation Strangler III

Operation Lulu

Operation Strangler IV

1969 TET Counter Offensive Phase II
