Don’t Forsake The Church

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;And having an high priest over the house of God; Hebrews 10:19-21

Since Jesus paid it all, since Jesus made the atonement for our sins, since Jesus tore the veil, we can enter into God’s presence now being washed by the blood of Christ. We can have boldness to enter into the grace of God because we have been Born Again through Jesus Christ

Not only can we enter with boldness, but we have an eternal High Priest who rules over the house of God forever, regardless of who your pastor is, or who your bishop is, or who your elders are, Christ rules over the Church, every knee bows down to Him

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:22-23

Its one thing to make a profession of faith in Christ, its another thing to be Born Again. Let the Holy Spirit work in you, to sanctify you, to wash and cleanse you from sin. A New Heart is given to you during your transformation, as you desire to live like Christ rather than to live as this world

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

Nobody ever said the Christian walk would be easy, in fact Jesus said you might be persecuted or even face death, this is one of the main functions of the Church. Don’t forsake the assembly, keep each other on the narrow path of life. Going this walk alone will be a heavy burden, surround yourself with Brothers and Sisters who will support each other and serve The Lord Amen!

    I will state this, that most, if not, all churches who require born-again persons to become members of their “individual” congregations, then they are 501c governmental agencies, requiring to become a “legal” member of their “church”. This is not a supported Biblical foundation for that type of church to exist. Anyone who truly is a Born-again believer through the action of the Holy Spirit given by the Lord by God given Grace, which bring’s conviction of sin, then grants that person repentance is TRULY and Automatically a real MEMBER of the Body of Christ, does not have to become a “separate” member of a “Organized church”! Those that demand this to receive full benefits as a believer within “their” church is then participating as a cult!
    Assembling together is stated by the Lord, “where two or three are gathered in MY NAME, there I am in their midst” Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
    In this statement the Lord reveals that the full council of God will be established in their midst. That reveals how main stream Christian church’s which require separate membership to their organizations are NOT in the Will of God, and walking according to the “traditions of men”, after the rudiments of the world. Their foundations are built upon the sand and do not reflect the true Christian functioning of the Body of Christ.
    I, and thousands of other true believers can not and will not join such cult like institutions, because they are not built according to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. Those of us who walk the lonely path are not doing it out of rebellion, but we are walking in obedience, because the “main stream so-called Christian churches” have caused us to separate ourselves from their fleshly and unbiblical practices, which in fact is against the Lord and His requirements for the Life of the Body of Christ.
    It’s up to each and every true believer to search this out to see if this be true, because as Apostle Paul wrote: Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
    Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
    Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
    Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
    Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
    Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
    Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
    The Lord bless you, for reminding the true followers of Christ what is expected of them, to seek out true fellowship according to God’s Council.

    I’m sorry, but I never said that. What I was saying is that whenever I have been to a church as a visitor, they always ask if I’m interested in becoming a “member” of “their” Church. Once I was Born-again I became a “member” of the Body of Christ instantaneously, so there is no biblical foundation to require someone to become a member of any particular church. I am already. I do believe in gathering together with like minded Christians and worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. I have not found one that obeys the Council of the Lord how to do church…..many I’ve been too, sadly follow the Anti-Christ spirit. So I can not be one with them in Spirit in Truth, for they are Apostate.
    Their divisive doctrines which represent a false Gospel causes me to stay away. I’m not saying that your church is apostate, but where I live, they ALL walk their own ways, and not the ways of the Lord.
    It is very sad, but I’ve grown closer to the Lord because of my obedience to follow Him and not the doctrines of men.
    I do hope you understand, it is more clear now?
    Lord bless you!

      Hey Brother, sorry yes I now understand. Maybe you can try starting a House Church or Bible study. I’ve done these in the past and have been very fruitful

      Sorry for the misunderstanding, praying for you and God bless!

        Dear Brother, no problem, this can happen as we rush about our day, sometimes we just glance over someone’s writings, without truly paying attention. I’ve been guilty of this myself.
        Please pray for me. All the Christian friends I’ve had for over 20 years, have all gone the way of ecumenicalism, and new age teachings……..I’m standing alone….so please ask the Lord to bring people my way. Thank you….Do you realize this type of communication is a “form” of fellowshiping? This is the age in which we live, especially with this “virus” thing, we’ve been separated from many things! Praise the Lord for the internet!
        Lord bless you abundantly!
        In His Eternal Love…..
