Corruption In The Church!
Part
2
Religious Political Postering:
All of us have known religious
people, people who recite a lot of Scriptures but do not live by them. People
who hold up a standard of behavior that only they are able to keep and some who
hold up a standard of behavior that even they cannot live up to. (Acts 13:43-45
[in KJV religious is used instead of devout]; Galatians 1:11-17 [in KJV Religion
is used in place of Judaism]; James 1:26-27) There is in the Body of CHRIST
political postering to be the one in charge, to have the prestige and power of
leadership, to control how everyone behaves and how everything works. JESUS
told us to be Humble and to Serve one another! (Proverbs 17:2; Matthew 20:20-28,
25:14-(21)-30; Luke 17:5-10; John 12:26; Romans 12:1, 11; Galatians 5:7-15; Ephesians
6:5-9; Colossians 2:11-23) You cannot Serve if you are not Humble. (John
13:1-17)
Idolatry:
JESUS on a cross, baby JESUS,
Mary, saints, angels, false gods, idols; these are physical and spiritual
things that people pray to and worship – GOD Hates that! (Exodus 20:1-6; Deuteronomy
4:15-20; Jeremiah 25:1-14; Hosea 13:4; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, 8, 10:7, 14-22; Revelation
21:8, 22:15) Anything or concept can be an idol! Anything that we give our
heart (spirit, soul and body) to above or before GOD is an idol! This is the
hardest of idols and the most common in The body of CHRIST, others may not even
know our heart is given to something or someone over JEHOVAH GOD!
False doctrine:
Water Baptism is not necessary,
sprinkling instead of Immersion; speaking in tongues is of the devil; The HOLY
SPIRIT’s Gifts stopped with the death of the apostles: you cannot know if you
are saved until you die. I’m sure there are more that I am not familiar with.
This is a denominational issue and you may not realize it if you do not study The
Bible for yourself and understand your denominations statement of Faith. In
this teaching I do not have the time to go into these individually as they
need, so I am just going to share what JESUS taught.
1. Water Baptism: JESUS Himself
was Baptized to fulfill Righteousness, Matthew 3:13-17.
JESUS Commanded us to Baptize new
Believers, Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18.
Sprinkling vs. immersion: JESUS
was immersed as noted “…when He came up out of the water…”
2. Speaking in tongues is of the
devil: JESUS never spoke in tongues publicly and never mentioned it, but He
told us a lot about His SPIRIT that we was going to send to live in us.
And JESUS taught that those who
denied The Power of The HOLY SPIRIT would have no forgiveness, Mark 3:28-30. The
religious leaders in accusing JESUS of using the power of the devil to heal
were denying The Power of GOD (The HOLY SPIRIT) thereby condemning themselves.
Those who deny The HOLY SPIRIT today are doing the same to themselves.
3. The HOLY SPIRIT’s gifts are not
for today, Why? (John 7:37-39, 14:15-18, 16:5-15; Acts 1:4-8) There is no
teaching in The Bible that implies that The Gifts of HOLY SPIRIT ended with the
death of the apostles!
