First Plumbline Apologetics

First Plumbline Apologetics (FPA) consists of individuals who identify themselves as being Born-Again Christians. The ministry acts as an Investigative program including the reports of individuals and Researcher groups world-wide, this would include people who desire to be active in such areas but who want to remain anonymous, for whatever reason, and want to expose such groups and individuals to the public. These accounts are used to educate people who have family members who are trapped in such groups and professionals who are interested in these areas.

First Plumbline Apologetic's objective is to help any individuals who may have family members involved in cults, the Ministry also also puts people who maybe involved in a cult (but would like to get out) in touch with organizations and individuals that can help and assist them. There are also people from other churches and/or groups who want to send information but are very much afraid of the individuals and/or organizations they are involved with.

First Plumbline Apologetics is an independent project, however, it does actively participate in some of the organizations such as the ACT (Apologetics Co-ordination Team) and with other Christians who represent evangelical groups. First Plumbline Apologetics is not associated with any of the charismatic movement. It has as its main focus building a library of media and documented information.

FPA is self funding, it receives no outside funding, the only donations solicited are publications, documents, Audio/visual materials and articles in order to increase its well of knowledge and information.

Founder history

Miguel Hayworth is the founder/director of the First Plumbline Apologetics which was established in 2001. Experiences within different denominations showed that much of what was going on in the churches was not oriented around the Bible. With this conviction Miguel Hayworth, and having seen so many people damaged by the unorthodox teachings of Christian groups, originally began his work with the intent of exposing false teachers within mainstream Christian circles.

Eventually a wider scope was adopted covering other issues and the direction of this ministry began to cover a wider range of topics from Abortion to the Cults. Miguel saw that this would benefit a lot more people and give access to information concerning many more groups so that people could made aware of the teachings and practices of various groups both inside and outside of mainstream Christianity. Many individuals, and other similar ministries, have contributed information and a wide variety of audio/visual materials.

Miguel Hayworth also has a large network of contacts from Christian Groups, Christian Apologetics Groups and Cult Awareness organizations, and individuals, who actively obtain up to date current news and information on false teachers and cults.

Origins of the name

The name comes from an Old Testament verse of the Bible:

Amos 7:7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. (King James Version)

Because of its biblical origin, the word Plumbline was used as a tool for discernment and to symbolize that the Plumbline, in this case, is the Bible. First Plumbline Apologetics is mainly known amongst Christian circles and not by the secular world.
