Sure their were tares among them . The early church was GOOD at correcting sin .
The pattern works . SEE we correct due to we desire them to repent and to keep the church safe .
WHEN tares are corrected , OFTEN they just end up leaving , as they were never truly of us in the first place .
BUT ALL MUST be corrected . ANY sin seen must be corrected by the church . OR watch out for the church that corrrects not
WILL LEAVEN UP BIG TIME .

Yes and it seems that soon it may be illegal to correct...

We may need to seriously consider a less public gathering.

Most of them are sold out as well . My call is return to that bible and learn it for ourselves .
MANY false teachers are all over , all over , all over even the protestant realm . I will heed neither them
nor pope francis and the CC . I dont say that to be mean to anyone . I Love you all . I TRULY DO .
Oh dear amigo....All of those denominations that have "sold out" would tell you, just like you are telling me, that they have returned to the bible and learned it for themselves. Can you not see how non-sensical your theory is? They think they are right and they use Scripture to prove it....You think you are right and use Scripture to prove it....It's a merry-go-round with you Protestants. Actually, I take that back. I don't recall you ever quoting Scripture....but you get the gist of what I am saying.

Also, I know you are not being mean when you degrade Pope Francis and The Church. You speak thru ignorance of Scripture and your own Christian history. I ain't mad at ya'.

It makes me sad that some Protestant denominations have "sold out"! But, that is what the Revolution brought to Christianity. Division forever....:(

You are not a hater dear brother. You are trying to warn folks to return to the biblical LORD JESUS and read those KJV bibles, so that they don’t end up hauled off to the lake of fire.

NASB can be presented with equal fire...

The Spirit convicts - not the translation.

Those who sin rebuke before all that others may fear . How is that for a starter .
I mean that is the one common thing i find in most all churches , whether prostestant or catholic
NONE WILL CORRECT ANYMORE . AND they all love to call those who do correct haters and monsters .
Ummmm.....Soooooo what does that mean and what is your HISTORICAL source for it? What writings from the his early Church back up what you are saying?

That is exactly what they do say . THEY TOO Think they returned to the bible . And yet teach contary to said bible .
They add things in that often contradict the very orignial scrips . THIS IS WHY i am begging and pleading to every man woman and child
to return to the bible for yourselves .

This generation has been well taught by men who crept in among us to decieve us .
THEY holler NO NEED to correct , no need to warn . WELL if i dont , WHO WILL . And it seemed the early church leaders
were full of warnings and reminders . SHOULD we not be as well .
The thing is , they already lulled many to sleep my friend . AND since men wont warn , IT KEEPS GROWING LIKE A WEED .
AS for me , i am gonna be grave , be sincere , for i LOVE the peoples . Be encouraged .
Wake up....

They teach contrary to the bible according to WHO? YOU?

Just to be clear: Scripture DOES NOT and ANY POINT teach that "every man woman and child" can properly interpret Scripture on their own and come to the Truth on their own. Scripture actually says OPPOSITE of what you are preaching....

And still, you don't quote Scripture.

What did Paul write to Timothy that backs up what you are saying?

Meantime I am called to a mainstream church and God is moving there, so there is a little more time...

There are lambs who are already gathering . WE simply read the scriptures and we all agree on what it says .
IT CAN be done . YOu just have to stop learning it through the CC , just as others have to stop learning it through calvin
or luther or etc . IT can be done . THE LORD is with the lambs . Too many folks are learning the scrips , WHAT LITTLE they do ,
through the lenses of men . EITHER JW , or MORMON , OR CC , OR calvin or etc . AND YET they are dangerous .
Many also learn it through the PROSPERITY GOSPEL GLASSES , which too is false . WE Must return to those bibles for ourselves
GOD will teach the lambs , cause these men of today are FAILING and FLEECING the folks . SURE their might be some good leaders still left
but they are very few and very wide spread . THE DELUSION and i mean the great delusion has been infiltrating all of christendom
so much as of late and it hollers a false love and a false unity . MY advice GET OUT of those churches and fast .

Really? Where are you lambs gathering? How do you know a lamb when you see one? When they agree with YOU then they are a lamb?

Every time you write you raise more questions than answers....

Also, I GUARANTEE you that you lambs who are gathering DO NOT agree on what Scripture says. Your own theory, that every man can read the bible and come up with his own truth, does not allow that to happen.

Well I have just been led into one - however I read nothing but scripture for over 5 years.

I was woken up in the early hours after being out of church for about 7 years - healed of rejection by the Wind of His Spirit and sent back to serve.

We will yet see genuine revival in the church.

What happens is people who say they got saved but don't live for God don't recognize that they are in unbelief because they have been told that nothing you can do can cause you to lose your salvation. And so they don't realize they are in unbelief and think they are saved and ready to meet Jesus when he comes back. OSAS causes people to think they have the Holy Spirit when they actually may not at all.

Your compliant rightly fall on someone telling someone they've been reborn, falsely, without knowledge or understanding. That would be the error, and errors that follow aren't responsible for the first error. If someone is not converted, not filled with the Holy Spirit, and they tell themselves they are, this has nothing to do with other doctrines of salvation.

Your objection would rightly be stated as claiming "a prayer saves you", or baptism saves you, or whatever false idea there is of one being saved, if apart from faith, that is the error, not that once you are saved you are forever saved.

If someone doesn't realize they are living in unbelief, it is because they are not aware of what faith is, and Who the Holy Spirit is, and they do not recognize faith or unbelief, being unaware of spiritual things, and not knowing God.

Again, salvation is about a relationship with God, either you know Him or you don't, not on your opinion of your perception of your behaviors.

Self deception causes people to think they are something they are not. Individual Bible Doctrines do not cause unbelievers to think this way or that, except only as they are misappropriated to fit your favorite self delusion.

Much love!

The word calls it eternal life

And John said we can KNOW we HAVE IT. And because it it. Empower is to continue in faith.

Satan does not want us to see that. He wants us to think we can lose eternal life. So we will lack faith and maybe even walk away.
Jesus gives us liberty by making us safe, so we can be free to live His way.

Much love!
