DHK, do you think God will allow you to have your own little exclusive corner of heaven, where other believers will not be permitted to come near?
I just don't understand your attitude toward other Christians who don't believe like you do.
The Bible teaches that we all shall give account of ourselves before God for the deeds done in this body whether good or bad.
God has ordained the local church as his institution for this day and age.
Study Acts 20:17-35, where Paul calls the elders/pastors of the church of Ephesus together and gives them instructions before he goes to Jerusalem, knowing that he may very well die there. What does he tell them?
From verse 18 to 27 he gives a very moving testimony of all that he has done for them, all the sacrifices he has made, how he has taught them, and left nothing out.
In verse 28 he gives them from very important instructions:
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
--Pay attention, first of all, to your own selves.
--Then pay attention to the entire flock that God has put you over.
--Feed that flock, the church of Ephesus. Make sure you teach them well.
--It is God himself that purchased it with his own blood.
Then he tells them how false prophets will enter in after he leaves.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
The duty of every pastor is keep the church pure; free of error; and to keep the wolves and the false teachers out.
That means Pentecostals and Charismatics who would take the opportunity to teach in your church. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Amos said:
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
--There is an obvious answer to that question. It is no.
I cannot walk hand in hand with a Pentecostal, and God doesn't want me to. He wants me to separate from all false doctrine, and have no fellowship with it.
Someday the Antichrist and the false prophet will be in control of a one world church, a one world religion. I believe there are two basic movements that are key in forming that one-world church. One is the Charismatic Movement, and the other is the Ecumenical Movement. The WCC supports them both. The Ecumenical Movement is, of course, a movement designed to bring all churches together, no matter what the cost is to doctrine. Doctrine doesn't matter. Let us just unite the churches together.
The Charismatic Movement (including all Pentecostals) is helping the Ecumenical Movement speed up its goal by using its experiential base of speaking in tongues. The tongues movement is spreading to virtually every denomination even those who are outside the realm of Christendom. It is a significant part of the Ecumenical movement, and now these two movements are rapidly gaining momentum, and every day moving closer to a one-world church.
Do I want to have any part of that? No.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you,
You do what you want. As for me and my family we will follow the Lord.
I am not accountable to you; I am accountable to God.
