Introduction

The ministry, of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated, was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a Certificate of Incorporation was issued, on the 14th March 2003. The Corporation name was initially secured on the 11th February 2003.

The ministry was first called Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries and its President Lucas P. Dangatan Jr. was commissioned in January 2002 to register the ministry with SEC. This failed to take place. In November 2002, Lucas P. Dangatan Jr. Registered the ministry after a second attempt, but the Director was not satisfied with the details being submitted were inadequate for the purpose of the ministry. On this November occasion the Director with drew the application and sought the aid of Isagani M. Obispo Jr., who was the ministries paralegal secretary, to make a fresh application but this time the names of the founding Director was omitted for reasons un explained. It was revealed at a later date that unscrupulous men sough to deny the existence of the ministry, which was eventually registered to fulfil the mission intended.

The Chairman’s verification certificate gives a clear statement as to the purpose of the ministry, which is “Setting Captive free”.

Appendix 01 Trojan Horse International

Articles of Religion 

We maintain:

  1. That the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are given by inspiration of God and are the only rule of faith and practice and that these scriptures reveal the one true and only God who is self existent, infinite and eternal. That there are three self existent co-eternal persons in the Godhead namely the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost and these three are one God and that the Lord Jesus Christ is very God and very man in one glorious complex person.
  2. That God is the creator and sustainer of both spiritual and material worlds.
  3. That the eternal purpose of God in Christ is to manifest his glory.
  4. That Before the world began God did elect a certain number of the human race unto everlasting life and salvation whom He did predestine to the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ of his own free grace and according to the good pleasure of His will.
  5. That God created the first man Adam upright and all his posterity fell in him. Adam was responsible for the fall of humanity.
  6. The effect of the fall left mankind ruined; this included his mind will and affections. Both Adam and his wife Eve were affected in different ways.
  7. That the Lord Jesus Christ in the fullness of time became incarnate and that he really suffered and died as the substitute for his people (the whole world a term used in scripture, expressing both Jew and Gentile). He made all the satisfaction for their sins, which the law and justice of God could require as well as made a way for the bestowments of all those blessings, which are needful for them for time and eternity.
  8. That the justification of Gods elect is only by the righteousness of Christ imputed to them and received by faith without consideration of any works of righteousness done by them and that the full and free pardon of all there sins and transgressions is only through the full free pardon of all their sins and transgressions is only through the blood of Christ according to the riches of Gods grace.
  9. That the eternal redemption which Christ hath obtained by the shedding of his blood is special and particular that it is only and intentionally designed for the elect of God who only can share its spiritual blessings.
  10. That regeneration, conversion, sanctification and faith are the work of the Almighty efficacious and invincible grace of God the Holy Ghost.
  11. That marriage was ordained of God to reflect the relationship between Christ and his Church.
  12. That all those chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son and sanctified by the Spirit shall certainly and finally persevere unto eternal life.
  13. There is and was resurrection of the dead of the just and the unjust and that Christ will come a second time to judge the quick and the dead. There is everlasting punishment for sinners ouside of Chriat and He will introduce His own people into His kingdom and Glory where they shall be for ever with Him.
  14. That baptism of believers by immersion and the Lords Supper are ordinances of Christ to be continued until His coming again

For the consideration of Inmate Pastors

Teacher Training Collage, New Bilibid Prison

A Note From The Director.

May I suggest that articles of religion are not put up to cause division or controversy but rather to use them to prompt the truth, as it is in the Lord Jesus Christ? It is unreasonable to expect all people to see and agree on things, all at once for we all grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let every one be prepared to learn.

We could include the words that are used in baptism or dipping as follows. “ By the authoruty of Jesus (His name) I baptize you in the Name of Father Son and Holy Ghost.

I would like our Inmate Pastors to find scriptural quotations for references to the above articles of religion. This could be a study conducted for bible students and inmate pastors.

These Articles of Religion are those of the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church foundered in 1832 and that I joined in 1976

Concluding Note From David Clarke The Author

In the Daily Diary of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated the back cover suggests that this diary serve to demonstrate the proposition that Jesus gave the command to go into the entire world and preach the gospel, in general rather than specific terms. He did not say how the task was to be done. David purports that the reason why no specific terms were given as to ow to go about this task was because had Jesus given a detail and specific schedule to those who were to carry out the mission it would have proved too daunting to them. So instead He left the methods and practices open to the imagination of men who had been renewed in their minds by the Holy Spirit and with the directions of scripture, with spiritual understanding, would be led to do the work. By this means God would be glorified and often those with a carnal religious mind would be infuriated. It is only when one seeks to obey the command that is is realized that wisdom, determination, courage, skill diplomacy and in fact every skill that man has devised in terms of dealing with money, travel, visa permits, medical practices local laws, legal practices and customs are required. These are not learned by reading a book.

This is not to say those people engaged in the mission will not make mistakes because they will. This is with good reason, for in their weakness they are enabled to look to the Lord, who is their strength, in order to provide all their needs, and so God is glorified. It is also a well known saying the , “He that makes no mistakes makes nothing”.

Lessons are learned by mistakes and arm chair critics, who never rise from their comfort zone or arm chair, are unaware that a ship can only be steered when it is on the move.
