I was blessed by a link to this fascinating documentary on the No Greater Joy website, and found the blessed testimony of the Stoltzfus family on their conversion and salvation. The documentary is informative and interesting about the Amish way of life but is saddening because of the legalism and turning away from the basic principles of Scripture in the Amish chuch, for " teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." (Matthew 15:9) They have been persecuting those who have discovered the truth, when their Anabaptist origin was one of being persecuted for their faith. I pray that many more Amish will come to know Yeshua as they can be such a glorious testimony of God to the unsaved world by the way they live.
Here is an article by No Greater Joy about their experience with Amish believers:
Plus, the No Greater Joy Ministry is giving out free downloads of Mr. Michael Pearl's preaching (2 and a half days worth) to the plain people for free to all until the end of February. I have yet to listen to them yet.
Linked is the audio testimony of the Stoltzfus family, based on Ezekiel 36:25-28, how God saved them from legalism, pretense, self-righteousness, condemnation, etc. and changed their lives. Their experience of salvation is a great testimony for the glory of YHWH. I would recommend this for you to listen. It is taken from their website, "Trouble in Amish Paradise"
Ezekiel 36:25-28 (New King James Version)
25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.
And here is the scripture song for that passage word-for-word, written by my Mummy!
