BE CAREFUL OF CHURCHES THAT FOLLOW RITUALS AND TRADITIONS INSTEAD OF THE WORD OF GOD.
I TIMOTHY 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins : keep thyself pure.
PURE = NOT AS THE WORD IS USED TODAY, BUT AS CLEAR FROM AIDING IN SENDING UNFIT MEN AND WOMEN INTO THE MINISTRY, FROM WHICH CHURCHES COULD BE SUFFERING.
LET'S GO TO THE SECOND EPISTLE OF JOHN.
II EPISTLE OF JOHN 1:1 THE elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth ; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth ;
TO THE ELECT CHURCH AND ITS CONGREGATION THAT KNOW THE TRUTH.
1:2 For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever.
WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH NOBODY CAN DECEIVE YOU.
1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
THOSE CHILDREN I FOUND WALKING IN TRUTH (SOME WEREN'T CLOSE AS OTHERS).
1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1:6 And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
THIS CHURCH CLAIMS TO BE CHRISTIAN AND IS NOT ; THEY DON'T BELIEVE CHRIST CAME IN THE FLESH.
1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T LOSE THAT YOU HAVE GAINED.
1:9 Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
THE ONES THAT DO NOT TEACH IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES, AND GOD IS NOT IN THEM.
1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed :
1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
IN OTHER WORDS, GOD HOLDS ACCOUNTABLE THE ONE THAT SUPPORTS A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT TEACH THE WORD AS IT IS WRITTEN.
YOU ARE ALSO HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO HIM, IF YOU FINANCE A PLACE LIKE THAT.
Always test the fruit when you enter a church ; not all churches teach the truth. As a matter of fact Christ has only found two churches (out of seven) of our time He is pleased with (Rev. 2 & 3).
You might ask how do I do that ? It's very simple : If it's not in the word it's not true.
GOD BLESS
