History Of The Bible-Pattern Church Fellowship

The Bible-Pattern Church Fellowship was founded in 1939 by Principal George Jeffreys (1889–1962), a Welsh minister who, together with his brother Stephen Jeffreys, in 1915 had founded the Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance, one of the first Pentecostal organisations in Britain.

Differences of opinion regarding church governance eventually led Pastor Jeffreys to withdraw from what later came to be called the Elim Pentecostal Church and form the first Bible-Pattern Church Fellowship in Nottingham in 1939. A number of other local churches were subsequently founded in various parts of the United Kingdom.

Bible-Pattern churches were also Pentecostal in terms of their doctrine and style of worship, believing (in common with other evangelical churches), in repentance from sin and salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as described in the Bible, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and maintaining that God had given spiritual gifts to the church which members should seek to experience, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy and divine healing.

Just before the outbreak of Wold war 2 Principle George Jeffreys travelled to Stockholm, Sweden and saw the great Pentecostal work which had taken place under the ministry of Pastor Lewi Pethrus in Stockholm. Click on image for more information about Pastor Lewi Pethrus.

The association emphasized local church autonomy among other points of polity. In 1938, a group within the Elim Fellowship acquired control of the organization. In response, Jeffreys, along with several supporters and churches, disassociated themselves from Elim. When Jeffreys formed the Bible-Pattern Fellowship, Pastor Brooks followed.

THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERY PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN. It has a question an answer section at the back.. Sadly there is much misunderstanding in the church today about this subject; there is also a misuse of the gifts in operation in the local church which is casing many to avoid this part of the believer’s life. I have no financial gain promoting these books, I only seek to convey the truth of God’s word and provide recourses to equip the family of God in the last days.This book is subtitled 'The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit.' It is an essential teaching for the church of every age! Format: Digital facsimile, pdf, 277pp CLICK ON PICTURE FOR LINK TO WEBSITE TO BUYCLICK

Healing Rays HARD COPY BOOK

Healing Rays by George Jeffreys' is a superb book on biblical healing - in Jesus' Mighty Name which was written in 1932 - when the author had been in Christian ministry for 17 years and had seen tens of thousands of conversions and thousands of healings in his Revival and Healing Campaigns across Britain. The book is split into 12 chapters over covers a lot about Christian healing in the name of Jesus Christ. The why, how to, why sickness, what can we do, medicine, attitude, spiritual state etc. and why not everyone gets healed including Christian suffering. Jeffreys' covers the subject of healing from a Scriptural perspective and writes with authority having seen the blind see, the death hear, the dumb hear, cancers shrivel up, the lame to dance etc. etc. and filled halls across the country week in week out. The author also quotes from quite a few other sources proving that God's power in healing through his surrendered servants has never ceased. There is a great chapter which is a question and answer chapter full of Scriptural and logical responses. The author also quotes from men such as John Wesley, George Fox, Evan Roberts and other revivalists as well as missionary statesmen such as A. B. Simpson and others who were healed.

The Sovereignty of the Local Church

November 1954
By
Principal George Jeffreys
Cleansing and power for all churches
The Sovereignty of the Local Church

Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Act 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

Cleansing and power for all churches

The Divine plan for cleansing and empowering local churches is given in Christ’s Charter in Matthew chapter 18 verses 15 to 20

Cleansing through obedience

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Power through obedience

Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Implicit obedience to the commandments of Christ’s Charter would mean churches freed from malice, guile hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking, which stunt spiritual growth and hinder revival.
What a tragedy it is when local churches are deprived of the Divine plan for cleansing and power!

The Sovereignty of the Local Church

Christ’s charter can only function in a church that assures its members the right to a voice and a vote in the business of the church. It authorises the church to sit in judgement upon members that are charged with wrongdoing, and to excommunicate the unrepentant from the church. Our Lord has not placed this serious responsibility upon the shoulders of the Pastor and Church officers only, but upon the whole church. Pastors and Church officers who have the honour of ruling and guidance in local Churches are themselves subject to the discipline of this charter, as well as being sharers with their fellow-members in its benefits.

The sovereignty of the local church is clearly taught by our Lord in His Charter, and all preachers of the Word are commissioned to make this known to all nations.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Because formal Protestantism has neglected Christ’s Charter for His Churches in Matthew 18: 15 to 20, one of the most powerful promise-texts in the word of God has been surrendered to a false centrally controlled priesthood that has no foundation whatsoever in the New Testament.

An Orderly Church

Christ’s Charter cannot function in a loose disorderly Church. Obedience to its commandment can only be rendered in a properly organised local Church. An up-to-date membership register is therefore essential to determine who has the right to take part in the church business meetings. One way of keeping the membership register up-to-date is to have the names read out, checked, and confirmed by a resolution at a regular Church business meeting.

An up-to-date register will prevent confusion and frustration in a church business meeting by giving the decisive word as to who has the right to be present.

Safeguards for the Local Church

In our country the sovereignty of the local church needs to be protected and safeguarded by:
1 An up-to-date membership register containing the names of the church members.
2 A local church constitution giving the working arrangements of the church.
3 A minute book containing the decisions of the church meetings.
4 A Trust Deed, or a lease, or a contract, to secure the place of worship for the use of the local church.
The system of voting by postal ballot should of course, be above suspicion. Therefore unsigned voting papers enclosed in envelopes containing the names of the voters on the outside should not be addressed to, or be kept in the custody of a person or persons interested in the vote.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2Corinthians 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
With the above safeguards the local church can protect itself against a dictatorship that might attempt to take control from within, and against the danger of a central totalitarian organisation taking legal control from without. Once men find themselves in positions of authority over pastors, people, finance and property of the churches it calls for great grace to resist the temptation to do evil in order to retain and extend authority.

Those who wilfully run churches without Christ’s Charter incur great risks to themselves and their fellow men. They need not wonder why they are becoming more bound by fetters that only our merciful Heavenly Father can break.

Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Results of obedience

In Christ’s Charter for His Churches the way of humiliation, confession and restitution is seen leading on to a glorious victory. Churches rendering obedience to the commandments of Christ in verses 15 to 17 can invoke His all-powerful name to bind and loosen, with all that is implied in verses 18 to 20 Thus, washed by the water of the Word, they can claim the aid of the supernatural, take the offensive, and break through the Satanic forces that are seeking to destroy Church and Nation.

Bible Pattern text

Pattern Magazine text

Psalm 119 Verse 130. The entrance of thy words giveth light. No sooner do they gain admission into the soul than they enlighten it: what light may be expected from their prolonged indwelling! Their very entrance floods the mind with instruction for they are so full, so clear; but, on the other hand, there must be such an "entrance," or there will be no illumination. The mere hearing of the word with the external ear is of small value by itself, but when the words of God enter into the chambers of the heart then light is scattered on all sides. The word finds no entrance into some minds because they are blocked up with self conceit, or prejudice, or indifference; but where due attention is given, divine illumination must surely follow upon a knowledge of the mind of God. Oh, that thy words, like the beams of the sun, may enter through the window of my understanding, and dispel the darkness of my mind!
