Our Constitution And ByLaws
Spiritual Messiah Ministries is a non-profit, Root-based, Free Church; free church meaning we are not silenced by the IRS 501(c)3 non-profit incorp law; which states one must obey all current and future laws written in, if laws not obeyed the IRS now has the right to take over said corporation. One of those laws state a church must not speak on political grounds as well as a few others, which means certain texts of the Bible cannot be legally spoken in church.

Before you say “well SMM isnt incorporated so theyre not a ‘real’ church” understand this:
a) Jesus had the ability to incorp His ministry (yes corporations existed back then), did He? NO! He clearly stated and acted upon the fact MAN IS NOT TO CHANGE, ADD, OMIT FROM GODS WORD! Incorporating would have meant preaching what the Romans wanted, Not God the Father! b) Jesus also made clear and taught a proper Minister is well rounded. Knows geography, theology, history, present, astrology, etc. Unless a minister is well rounded they do NOT know Gods message. Memorisation of the Bible is great, but can they tell you what it means? c) only recently have churches become incorp. There are still the few that are free. When many nations were formed, including the USA, ALL churches were Free Churches.
Point: Incorp. Churches do NOT preach Gods message and are NOT of God. Incorp Churches are products of and belong to the government. FYI: a church does NOT need to be incorp for tax exempt status, it just makes it easier. Churches that incorp. for tax exempt status purposes are in the ministerial business to make money, NOT to preach Gods Word or be close to God.
SMM will NOT be silenced willingly or otherwise. Our mission is to teach Truth, correct false, and gather the lost.

Unlike mainstream churches and ministries, we are a Free Church preaching Truth headed only by Jesus Christ. We have no need to be under govt control as the govt is not our god and should have no role in the preaching of Gods word. Therefore Jesus and Jesus alone is the head of this ministry. Under Jesus, taking the lead position in more physical matters is Reverend Dr. Red Conrad, D.D. All questions further may be addressed to him. His email is below. Please allow approximately 2-3days for replies, as we are very busy. Though emails are monitored and replied to timely. In some cases you may have a reply in a matter of an hour or two.
You may also email us at SpiritualMessiahMinistries@gmail.com and RevDrRedMinistries@gmail.com Again we ask to allow 2-3 days for a reply. One of us here at Spiritual Messiah Ministries will answer your email as soon as we can. Thankyou.
Please do not send hate mail or anything of the sort, as it will be subject for submission to the authorities and will not be responded to. It is one thing to open a debate (if you wish to keep it more private then the blogs), it is another to explicitly show hate, threats, harassment, etc and will be submitted to the authorities and legal action will be pursued.

508c1a
IRS Title 26 › Subtitle A › Chapter 1 › Subchapter F › Part II › § 508
(a) New organizations must notify Secretary that they are applying for recognition of section 501(c)(3) status
Except as provided in subsection (c), an organization organized after October 9, 1969, shall not be treated as an organization described in section 501 (c)(3) —
(1) unless it has given notice to the Secretary in such manner as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe, that it is applying for recognition of such status, or
(2) for any period before the giving of such notice, if such notice is given after the time prescribed by the Secretary by regulations for giving notice under this subsection.
(b) Presumption that organizations are private foundations
Except as provided in subsection (c), any organization (including an organization in existence on October 9, 1969) which is described in section 501(c)(3) and which does not notify the Secretary, at such time and in such manner as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe, that it is not a private foundation shall be presumed to be a private foundation.
(c) Exceptions
(1) Mandatory exceptions Subsections (a) and (b) shall not apply to—
(A) churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches
IRS Publication 557
Some organizations are not required to file Form 1023 or 1023-EZ. These include:
Churches, interchurch organizations of local units of a church, conventions or associations of churches, or integrated auxiliaries of a church, such as a men’s or women’s organization, religious school, mission society, or youth group.
Any organization (other than a private foundation) normally having annual gross receipts of not more than $5,000
These organizations are exempt automatically if they meet the requirements of section 501(c)(3).
Religious Organizations
To determine whether an organization meets the religious purposes test of section 501(c)(3), the IRS maintains two basic guidelines.
That the particular religious beliefs of the organization are truly and sincerely held.
That the practices and rituals associated with the organization’s religious belief or creed are not illegal or contrary to clearly defined public policy.
Therefore, your group (or organization) may not qualify for treatment as an exempt religious organization for tax purposes if its actions, as contrasted with its beliefs, are contrary to well established and clearly defined public policy. If there is a clear showing that the beliefs (or doctrines) are sincerely held by those professing them, the IRS will not question the religious nature of those beliefs.
Organizations That Qualify To Receive Deductible Contributions
You can deduct your contributions only if you make them to a qualified organization. Most organizations, other than churches and governments, must apply to the IRS to become a qualified organization.
Types of Qualified Organizations
Examples. The following list gives some examples of qualified organizations.
Churches, a convention or association of churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other religious organizations.

(a) Exemption from taxation
An organization described in subsection (c) or (d) or section 401(a) shall be exempt from taxation under this subtitle unless such exemption is denied under section 502 or 503.
(c) List of exempt organizations
The following organizations are referred to in subsection (a):
(3) Corporations, and any community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual, no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation (except as otherwise provided in subsection (h)), and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.
