Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
This picture that my brother drew shows the truth of how God is going to judge us. If your just a religious person going to man made Sunday systems then your not preparing yourself for heaven. God says to come out of those religious groups.
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,”
and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
We are to be seperate from the world by our christian walk with God. I would like to make a note that really if you are part of a man made religious system then you are of the world because look how many so called churches there are in America that live for the things that please their flesh, but yet they go to church. Maybe you are not participating in worldly pleasures but you are putting yourself under a false doctrine. Remember that God calls a born again Christian the temple of God so you need not a building and a one man bishop is not biblical. If you are not born again and sold out to God then a building full of religious, spiritually dead people will not do you any good for God's kingdom. Again, read the verse at the top of this page and let it sink in.
Romans 12:2
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Are you transformed by the power of Christ? Have you repented of all known sin and are you enduring in the faith until the end? If your trusting in a one man pastor to lord over you and tell you when to get up and sit down and then say what he tells you to and sing at his set time do you really think that is being led by the spirit of God? God is not on a time clock and who called that man to lord over you because it wasn't God, it was that man who put himself in that position because God does not contradict Himself when He says that there must be elders to hold each other accountable. Think about how humbling that would be for a man that was ruling over you to no longer be in charge solely on his own and that he was not higher than any other elders. A man who wants full control by himself without accountability has a serious pride issue.
3 John 1:9
“I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.”
1 Peter 5:3
“Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.”
Acts 14:23
“And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.”
I knew a pastor who told my brother in the Lord that he (my brother) had a problem with authority but yet this pastor would not have elders holding him accountable. Also the ruling over bishop told my brother he was not under a bishop and yet this bishop left several church bodies to go start his own. What hypocrisy!! Who is the one with the pride and authority problem? Will you people who say you are following God just ask yourself did God really want this man to rule over us? No...this is not how God set it up. Also I was willing victim at one time and what got me was that these lording over pastors claim they have been studying the bible for years and that way you will think he should be in charge. Again, one man ruling over you no matter how long he's been studying the bible is not even biblical for making himself in charge. And honestly you get relaxed thinking the pastor knows God's word so I don't need to read and study the bible much. Yes, this is why they preach on getting in the program, but sadly it not God's program. I trusted in a man made system and the pastor showed his true colors by using his so called authority to say I was an unbeliver because I would not sign a contract. If there would have been many elders this unbiblical move would not have happened. Of course the elders should be godly saints who have wisdom and are fit to be an elder. If you have three men who are not obeying the scriptures and are claiming to be elders then they are not fit according to God's standards. The bottom line is whether you are a single man or a married man you are to be the leader of your home and that means you studying the scriptures and obeying all of it as you learn and grow in the word. I have something for you to think about. How did this pastor become a one man show? How is the pastor any better than anyone else that is striving for the truth. Isn't that what he is saying he is doing. In other words he is not over you when he has to continue to study the word also. The lording over pastor or bishop wants you to think that God has put him over you, but you could do the same thing, but that is not how God works. They also like to use the leaders in the bible like Moses and Abraham and others to justify their position but that was God that appointed them and God is not appointing men today to rule over people, and if he did, it would be a very humble and godly man who would not make up his own set of rules outside of God's word.
Revelation 22:18 - 22:19
Galatians 1:6 - 1:9
These bishops come up with their own rules or as one says program and expect you to just follow them. I think what do is test to see how far you will go with their rules and then if you comply they will take you further into their web of deception.
Colossians 2:8
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
2 Timothy 3:5
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
See how you can be deceived if you do not study the scriptures on your own and have spiritual discernment.
James 1:5
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all menliberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
You should be testing anyone claiming to be of God to the word. Thats why I failed to have discernment in the past, because I was not testing him to the word but nor was I testing myself. This is another very important part of discernment: to test yourself to God's word so that you can test others.
Matthew 7:5
“Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
I am really trying to encourage you all to study and be diligent and to get out of man made religious systems so that you can have spiritual discernment and be leader. If I would have done that I would not be suffering the consequences I have today. You have God's word to obey and you will answer to Him and not to that lording over bishop or pastor.
Romans 14:12
“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Quit depending on a lording over one man ruler to lead you and start walking in God's ways and you will get far with your spiritual life and witness the gospel to others that are in man made religion to come out and be ye seperate. These one man ruling pastors would hate to lose their authority over you but that would be the best thing for them and maybe then they will actually cry out to the Lord and repent of their own programs and their own traditions but if you keep trusting in them you are feeding them the power and control they love. I say these things out of love because I am supposed to love my neighbor.
Matthew 22:39
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
May God be praised!!!
The Bible says, "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). It also says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."(Hebrews 4:13).
You see, sin separates us from God and it will lead one to hell not heaven! God's Word is so very clear...."the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)
First, you will die physically due to sin and then you will be judged and die spiritually in hell eternally without Christ as your Lord and Savior. God will judge all those who are NOT His holy people and send them into outer darkness. We love you and want better for you. So that is the bad news ... God's wrath is hanging over you, due to your sins. But let us rejoice.......we have the GOOD NEWS GOSPEL!!!
Jesus Christ is the Son of God (fully man / fully God) who came to earth to die on the cross for your sins and to defeat death. Because of man’s sinfulness, Christ was sent to the cross (shed His blood for forgiveness of sins) put to death (God's will), buried and then rose again to defeat death! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16He showed us God's Kingdom to come and how to love God. love each other and our neighbor. He alone could over come the world / satan and gain eternal life for those who will seek after Him.
God in His love ( a one time act through Christ ) has made a way for you to be forgiven of your sins and gain eternal life with Him. Please know it is NOT just believing, doing some religion and going to heaven. That is all a lie!!!
In order to find that eternal life per God's Word you MUST have these 5 biblical gospel principles act work in your life:
1) Faith... in the finished work of Christ ( fully man, fully God ) and His perfect sacrifice for sins ( John 3:16 )
2) Repentance ... turning from your fallen mind and ways to God's Holy ways. ( Luke 13:3 )
3) Born again... you must be born of God's spirit to ever see eternal life. In this new life, He gives you a new heart and mind to then serve Him. ( John 3 )
4 ) Holiness with obedience.... if your changed by God you WILL, as fruit, strive to leave all sin, worldliness, carnality and false ways ( like man made religion ) and obey His commands and be holy in all your ways. ( 1 Peter 1:15 / Heb 5:9 / Heb 12:14)
5) Endure in your faith.... You MUST keep clinging to Christ via this saving faith to the end of your life, lest you fall away and have believed in vain. ( Matt 10 and 1 Corinthians 15 )
The gospel is not just a religious action. No, it changes your entire life and you NO LONGER live for yourself but live to serve God alone. Jesus said you MUST worship God in spirit and truth. John 4:24
So you must be BORN of His spirit and you must seek Him in truth, not false religious ways of man that MOST today are doing each Sunday in ritual false man made ways.

o you have His truth (the good news gospel) or do you have your own faith or a man-made tradition that has deceived you? ( Colossians 2:8 ) Religion cannot save you nor can being good. God's wrath is upon all those (NOT born of Him) at their death. The worlds religions and denominations are full of the false gospels of man. Test your own faith and gospel to God's Word lest you be turned away in eternity as Matt 7.21 speaks of.
hose truly in Christ are changed people who live holy (1 Peter 1:15) and no longer conform to this fallen worlds ways. They avoid partaking of the carnal (sinful) culture ( sports, TV, movies, feminism, man made denominational religion etc ) but they will GO and proclaim the gospel into the world and call others out of it.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2)
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15)
Knowing Christ is about seeking and serving Him in truth, holiness, obedience by God’s Word (the bible) not practicing man made religion or relying on your good works.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him (Hebrews 5:9)
Warning: Jesus speaks of a NARROW road that FEW will find. Matthew 7. Are you on it? Or are you on the broad road to destruction?
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2)
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15)

ist will return to redeem those who are born of Him (Hebrews 9) per His gospel (His love ) and the rest will be judged and will suffer in hell. ( His wrath ) 2 Thessalonians 1:8
Please consider your sin problem and the good news, God's offer to you and act upon it today; while you still have time!
BELIEVE, REPENT, BE MADE NEW, OBEY THE GOSPEL IN HOLINESS and ENDURE until THE END!
