Ever since Fredrick K. Price began Ever Increasing Faith Ministries in Inglewood, CA., the Church has taken the stance that tithing one's money is commanded by God in the Bible. Even this year, June 27, 2014 the wife of Price aired one of his earlier messages at EIFM in which he states emphatically that the Church is the storehouse and that God requires monetary tithes of the saints to be brought to the Church.
Less than three months later, in three separate sermons Price's son, Fredrick K. Price, Jr., delivered a message at the Faith Dome's EIFM TITLED "Tithing Under Grace". This message aired September 7th, 14th & 21st. In the message, Fred Jr. Covered every single verse in the Bible that dealt with tithing and revealed to the congregation that God never commanded tithes of money from anyone in His Holy Word.
While it is refreshing to see EIFM is being honest concerning the Biblical tithes after more than 30 years of guilting its members into giving, one has to wonder what happened that caused the shift to doctrinal truth? Are there more doctrinal shifts in the future at the Faith Dome? And what about the father/son clash in doctrine if Fred Sr. still believes tithing is a Biblical mandate? Will it cause bad blood between family members? Will those who have tithed faithfully for the last 30 years "lest they be cursed God-robbers" be angry now that they know the truth?
Many more questions arise in my mind... Edited by Standing Firm In Christ, Today, 04:06 AM.

The standards are much higher than most realize. Beyond the realization of the truth of tithing... If someone asked Mr Price (jr or sr) how does one follow Christ? And he replied... Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1Corinthians 11:1 KJB To do the above, Mr Price would have to read PAST the verses that authorize a pastor to be paid, and UNDERSTAND why Paul REFUSED to do so. Then IF Mr Price proceeded to sell the building and lands of EIFM. Went out and got a job, returning to EIFM with the following as his guide... For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1Corinthians 2:2 KJB The above scenario will be preceded by frogs growing wings so they won't bump their butts when they jump.
