Justin Mangonel challenge me to look at his blog and this is what I found dated Dec 28 2012
I find this to be a very revealing insight into the inter workings of Mr Mangonel and his vision he calls
The Tabernacle Movement under his Adamite theology
Here below is The Tabernacle Movement dated Dec 28 2012 I'll highlight the points I find troubling.
Any comments would be appreciated and I'm certain it being public information with the link included Mr Justin Mangonel may be interested in hearing your comments as well (emphasis mine) for those that prefer a passing glance.

The Tabernacle Movement
http://www.thefinalfeast.com/
I feel lead by the Spirit to lay out the framework for what needs to be done to help bring about the restoration of the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is by no means an exhaustive treatise on this subject but rather just a broad sketch of the steps that I believe we should take to accomplish this goal.
To begin with, the reason why we, as ministers of the full gospel of Christ, need to work towards the restoration of this feast is that this third and final spiritual experience is necessary to bring about the perfection of the saints.
It is written,
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”
Ephesians 4:13
This scripture speaks about the end result that every minister should be working towards in their ministry. I believe that the perfect man of Ephesians, a group, can only be achieved by completing the third and final step that God has made available through restoration of the Tabernacle experience.
The first step towards the perfection of the saints was, of course, the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Passover. In the church age this equates to the experience of salvation. The second step in this restoration of mankind is the spiritual fulfillment of the spiritual feast of Pentecost. In the church age this equates to the experience of Spirit baptism with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The third and final step in this process is the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles. In the church age this equates to the experience of becoming one with God and the manifestation of this oneness is Divine Love.
Many ministers are trying to bring the church into the unity of the faith with only having experienced one or two of the necessary feasts. However, it is not possible to fulfill Ephesians 4:3 without the third and final feast. It is the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles that brings about the unity of the Spirit which ultimately leads to the unity of the faith.
In order to accomplish the goal of restoring this feast to the body of Christ we must not look to change the church from within but rather we must go outside the church and evangelize the lost so that we can start with, as it were, a blank page upon which we can write this vision. Trying to bring this restored truth to those who are already “churched” is not profitable. Those who are in the normative church have already been tainted with the ills of the church and are not suitable ground upon which to plant this seed. Perhaps, once a movement is formed and brought to life outside of the church it may draw some from within the church to accept this truth.
Secondly, we must restore the office and authority of the apostle and prophet to this movement. The foundation stones of this movement must be laid by true apostles and prophets in order to bring this vision to our people. We must, above all, restore the office of the apostle to our movement so that we will have the benefit of the organization and perspective that an apostle brings. We must relegate pastors and teachers to their places under these ministries and make sure that they do not try to usurp these higher offices as they have done in the normative church. The office of evangelist must be kept primarily outside the church so that they can focus on preaching to the lost. Evangelist must subject themselves to the offices of the prophet and apostle.
The third step is that we must teach the first century Tabernacle theology that God has restored to us to those who are newly saved so that they can begin to assimilate the new wine skin that God has given. We must make disciples of all men so that God can raise them up to do the work of the ministry. By starting with newly evangelized people we will not have to “un-teach” them out of the errors that the church has accepted. We will endeavor to disciple those who have ability and skill one on one sp as to instill in them the truths that God has shown us.
The fourth step is to seek converts in areas that are not already well served. In the beginning, when our movement is still small and relatively vulnerable, we must seek to make converts in places where the normative church will not hinder us. Obviously, the established church will react with its characteristic ferocity against anything or anyone that challenges it’s status quo. Therefore, we must seek to work in places where we will go realatively unnoticed until we have grown strong enough to weather persecution if it comes. Therefore we will seek out and work among those who practice polyngy because these people represent and large and un-churched peoples group. Due to the fact that we know, from scripture, that God does not discriminate against those with more than one wife (Matthew 8:11, Matthew 22:31-33) we are uniquely positioned to bring the gospel to this group while at the same time correcting a terrible wrong that was done to them.
For me, this means preaching in the heart of Africa. As we target those who live in this type of marriage some will be open to hear Gods word and these will be the disciples that we are looking for. We will focus on those younger adults, ages 18 through 25, both male and female, whom God picks to be disciples of the restoration of Tabernacle theology. God, through His Holy Spirit, will bring this first wave of His chosen to us and they will form the “core” of this movement. Once this vanguard is formed some will be sent out to disciples others and in turn those who become disciples and show promise will be raised up to form a second wave of followers.
I estimate that it will take 10 to 15 years of evangelizing and discipleship before the first wave produces the beginnings of the second wave. We will encourage the first wave to go wherever God leads them and to replicate our evangelism/discipleship model. In the beginning we will hold yearly meetings in which all our member are invited to participate but when the movement increases we will devolve these meetings into more localized events. We must be careful never to overly centralize our movement so that even if one part is hindered the remaining parts that are left can still function.
To reiterate, the main points of our plan to restore the spiritual fulfillment of the third and final Feast of Tabernacles to the Body of Christ are as follows.
1. We will concentrate on evangelism of the un-churched so that will can write this vision on a blank canvas.
2. We will restore the office and authority of the apostle and prophet to our movement.
3. We will teach the restored first century Tabernacle theology to our new converts
4. We will seek converts who currently practice or are from polygnist families near areas of conflict where the normative church is not as active.
5. We will seek to make disciples of young adults ages 18 to 25 years old to form the core of our first wave of Tabernacles saints. When they have been taught and become disciples we will send them out as God leads to raise up a second wave of Tabernacle saints.
6. We will seek to keep this movement decentralized so that if one part is hindered the rest of it can continue to function and carry on our vision.
In conclusion, it is important that we put action to our faith and try our best to bring about the restoration of this Adamite theology. We are tasked with the glorious vision of helping those who do not know God come back to the Garden and enter once again into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. We have the vision and now it is up to us to do our part to help bring about the unity of the Spirit which will ultimately lead to the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry.
Sincerely,
Justin Mangonel
