Which excuses your disobedience how?
No disobedience. Emailed a WOTM authority and he says it’s no sin to go alone.

Which excuses your disobedience how?
The motivation for us to do anything for God should be based upon us being accepted in jesus and saved and in a relationship with God, not because we have to in order to not have Him get angry with us, or to somehow keep earning it!That's what gets me.
It's not the use of the law in convicting people, and then the grace to calm their fear, but the WOTM and most modern gospel messages are a LAW sandwich.
Here is the LAW before --- > you are a sinner, you've sinned etc etc. You deserve hell
Here is the GRACE --- > God died for your sins, believe and be saved. It's so simple - how merciful is our God! what Joy!
Here is the LAW again --- > now you are saved you better live right and prove you are saved and live in fear constantly and constantly worry about your own sin and everyone elses (especially everyone elses) because if you don't GOD'S GONNA GETCHA!
What does the bible state though?No disobedience. Emailed a WOTM authority and he says it’s no sin to go alone.
I don't mean disobeying WOTM. I mean disobeying God.No disobedience. Emailed a WOTM authority and he says it’s no sin to go alone.
There are many who would give solid bibilcal advice here though!Someone here to provide guidance? Are you kidding? I would not trust the people on this board.
Again, what does the Bible state on this subject? Seems to me that most of the time God works in and thru the local church!I don't mean disobeying WOTM. I mean disobeying God.
It would be better of you were a disciple of Christ appealing to His authority as expressed through the Church with Christ as its Head instead of being a disciple of men resting in your own authority as expressed through those you choose to follow.
The rich young rulers problem was not simply money.
Yes. Scripture has evangelists only within the context of a church for a reason. We cannot work outside of a biblical context, apart from a church, isolated from the oversight of the congregation and call our work kingdom work. This is a difference between a ministry of God and a man's hobby. God does not bless disobedience.Again, what does the Bible state on this subject?

Made me think of this Biblical passage:No man of God disagrees with the Great Commission.
Teach them the Gospel
Baptize them into a Bible believing local Church
Instruct them to go and do the same
Abandoning a new born baby is vile sinful child abuse.
Abandoning a newly born again Christian is an ever greater sin.
Doing so makes one a spiritual abortionist.
Could be why few converts....Yes. Scripture has evangelists only within the context of a church for a reason.

There are really no lone rangers, as everyone is under some assigned authority!Yes. Scripture has evangelists only within the context of a church for a reason.

God gifts people to function within a local body. An "evangelist" concerned with planting seeds A part from the flock is a false evangelist and has nothing to do with the Great Commission. I praise God that He may use this for His glory, but at the same time it will not be a blessing to the false preacher.There are really no lone rangers, as everyone is under some assigned authority!
I used to disagree with you, but respected your desire to evangelize. Now, I do not respect you at all. You have blatantly stated that you ignore the great commission. You are doing more harm than good.Kirk and Ray had something to say about follow up. I do not follow up. If they want to know more they will seek.
Yep. Just like the couple who had a baby then abandoned him. They said, "If he is really our son he will find his way home."If they want to know more they will seek.
I don't share my faith. I obey the Great Commission. All of it.Go share your faith while you still have time.
... I have seen over 1,000 souls come to Christ, be baptized, and be discipled as a result of my labors....
Jesus said in Mark 1:17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”TC - you just got Evan upset - dont you know that you should not be keeping track???????
I do not follow up. If they want to know more they will seek.
Comfortism?Yeah, I don't remember where the Bible lays out this theology. Could you please tell me where the Bible says that new converts don't need to be discipled? That they will seek a church and seek help with growing as a Christian by themselves?
Is this some form of hyper-Calvinism?
