Church Salvation...

Belonging as a card carrying member of a Christian denomination, has nothing at all, to do with your salvation. Because "Denominational Divergence" is sin.

Allow me to reiterate that statement...

Belonging as a card carrying member of a Christian denomination, has nothing at all, to do with your salvation. Because "Denominational Divergence" is sin.

Jesus never commanded us to follow any man's teachings over the word of God...

In fact Jesus was against the organized religion of his time and so should we...

Consider; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Also consider;

"You may remember the story of how Satan and a demon of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The demon said to Satan, 'What did that man pick up?' 'He picked up a piece of the truth,' said Satan. 'That is a very bad business for you, then,' said his demon minion. 'Oh, not at all,' Satan replied, 'I am going to help him organize it.' says Satan 'We will use money as the lure and make it irresistible to the greedy, we will build a theocracy that will stand the test of time.'

Some would say but we need to be organized in order to defeat the Devil in the world. News flash, Jesus Christ already did that for us. All we need do is as believers is spread the gospel and allow others to know we are Christians by our love. Gathering is of course biblical and there is a good example in Acts as to how we should gather.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

True Love & Understanding...

Folks lets face the facts about Christianity here and NOW!

"DENOMINATIONAL DIVERGENCE" is SIN and is creating apostasy within the body of Christ and it must stop TODAY!

Instead of giving clarity it is creating confusion for those that are watching and wanting to get closer to God! Even though seeking the kingdom of God is a personal effort!

We who have found God and know it beyond a shadow of a doubt, can help lead others to this amazing gift. By making the journey easier and following the biblical version to the letter without all the man-made external religiosity that denominational divergence has caused. How many souls have been lost because of the sin of denominational divergence?

How can we be sure of others having found God and faith through Jesus Christ? Simple, ask questions like, tell me about it? Ask them to tell their testimony and remember that church attendance is not compulsory for the true believer. Why? Because we are the church your body is the temple not a brick and mortar building.

Ever since I first began to seek God earnestly with my whole being (in my early twenties I am now in my mid-forties) I have been shook to my very core. Sometimes almost unable to carry-on, but God is faithful and has promised never to give us more than we can handle.

And the problem of "DENOMINATIONAL DIVERGENCE" is not more then we can handle. The reform is not of religion but of man and it has never stopped in 2000 years because we are striving towards perfection in love through God. But we must repent and turn from our sins for salvation to do its work within us... Religious sin is what Jesus confronted publicly and so must we, but not from denominational platforms.

Q. What happens when a person gets evangelized without repenting?

A. They become another false convert and start the long arduous journey in the desert of their minds trying to figure it out what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

If they make it to the next level and join a church they are then on-fire for the Lord the first several years. Serving in various positions trying to find their place. Then comes the day that they are crushed by their brethren, that want them to settle down and get with the program. Tow the party line because this is what we believe in this denomination and as a member you will believe the same or get out. Maybe its not that harsh but sometimes it is. Or perhaps they become complacent and become another adherent sitting on their hands doing nothing for the kingdom. The division of the body of Christ through denominational divergence is an abomination to God and the true believer. The worst thing is, that as these denominations split they create more denominations just like germs & bacteria and spread from body to body.

Other stuff starts happening that chips away at their faith and without the proper armor they become apostate even within the church/denomination. They try to get help from others but there is no help because everyone has their own troubles or are to busy pointing out others short comings while ignoring their own plank. Then the next thing you know they start sliding away from the church (that denomination) they choose another and low and behold the same existence is there, the same as before yet it is a different denomination. Could this be considered idolatry when we worship denominational? I say yes it is...idolatry and since idolatry is sin so is denominational divergence.

Consider what the Apostle James says; "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder/tremble. Our belief, our faith and our Christian Walk must be more then that of demons. If it is to be believable by those that are watching for they will know we are Christians by our LOVE...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Selling Salvation...

As a young boy of around five (5) years old or so a vacuum cleaner salesman came to our home and sold my Mom a vacuum it was a Filter Queen I think. Anyway he was very entertaining and I remember saying to myself that it was something I wanted to do when I got bigger. The technique he used was very simple and what every good salesman does by instinct. Its called the RCCR principle and it works like this;

1. He Related to my Mom by commenting how clean and nice her home was and said something nice about us kids.

2. He Created an opportunity within the relating monologue to talk about her home and its so-called cleanliness thereby Creating an opportunity to talk about his product.

3. He Convicted her by making his machine pull unbelievable amounts of dirt from her carpets and furniture.

4. He Revealed how she could own this fabulous piece of machinery for less than pennies per day.

Needless to say she bought the vacuum, but I also bought the fact that I wanted to be a salesman who sold vacuums. Something I did for close to twelve (12) years of my life which spanned several models such as; Electrolux, Kirby, Filter Queen and Water-Matic. I am still a salesman today, the only difference is I create products and opportunity for myself and I use the same principles when I evangelize let me show you how it works. So does Ray comfort from Living Waters

1. Relate: We can relate to others by the simple fact that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. If you say that becoming a Christian removes the possibility of sin from your life you are a liar. Consider Romans 3:9-20

2. Create: So by relating to them as equals not one that is better or thinks he/she is better but an equal. You create an opportunity to talk of Gods grace Ephesians 2:8-9 and the sacrifice of Christ John 3:16

3. Convict: But before they believe you need to convict them of their sin if they don’t think they need God your chances of evangelizing them are zero. The law is meant to convict in order to use the law you need to know it Exodus 20

The Ten Commandments

I. 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

II. 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

III. 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

IV. 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

V. 'Honor your father and your mother.'

VI. 'You shall not murder.'

VII. 'You shall not commit adultery.'

VIII. 'You shall not steal.'

IX. 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

X. 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

Almost everyone has told a lie, stolen, not put God first in their lives. Jesus says in Matthew 5 that if any is angry it is the same as murder and that if any look at a woman with lust he has committed adultery.

4. Reveal: God sent his son Jesus John 3:16 to take away the sin of the world and become sin. All are welcome Matthew 20 and all fall short of the glory of God in other words we are all sinners. David prayed this prayer in contrition to God for forgiveness of his sins let it become yours Psalm 51

Congratulations you have successfully sold the gospel of Christ just like a professional salesperson would sell his/her product to whomever and helped create another believer. If you don't consider yourself a salesperson but want to reach people with the gospel of Christ then you need to depend on the Holy Spirit for courage to do it.

Here are a multitude of ways to evangelize to others called the ABC`s of Evangelism

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
