Featured Would you join the Elevation Church?

In seeking to the leadership of the Spirit I would expect that leadership to harmonize with the Word that the Spirit has given. I believe Scripture teaches every Christian should be baptized and fellowship with a local congregation. I believe Scripture commands Christians to follow to the leadership and teaching of their church. We should not join a congregation where we know we cannot conscientiously do that. I believe Scripture requires us to withdraw from those who walk disorderly. We cannot both unite with and withdraw from the disorderly at the same time.

Here is an example made a little more extreme, which might help make the point. If I received an impression, dream, vision or voice from "God" telling me to join the Roman Catholic Church, rather than go and join the Roman Catholic Church I would question whether the impression, dream, vision or voice was actually from God.

Perhaps this will help in understanding the mentality of believers who see a church like Elevation and answer, "No, I would not join."

 

So you think God will lead and guide you to attend a chuch whre thetrue gospel and real doctrines are not stressed?
Such as a Joel Osteen/Kenneth Copeland for exampel?

 

Th basic question to me is why would God direct us to a church not teaching real gospel nor truths of the Faith?

 

Heck, he led me to a Reformed church, so why not?

 

A Reformed church, if conservative, will be teaching the real doctrines of God, not those I metioned!

 

maybe not the ones you mentioned, but still not the real doctrines of God...

 

Which would be what?

 

No, but not because of personalities one way of the other. And not because I don't know a given staff member's salary. As a pastor, I have never published my salary.

I wouldn't be a member of Elevation strictly for theological and ecclesiological reasons.

 

Wha would those be?
