WHICH CHURCH SHOULD I BELONG TO?
…….THE SECRETS OF THE CHURCH OF THE BIBLE

Today, we have over 60,000 churches in the world. Anyone trying to choose a church to worship in would find it a difficult thing to do. Such questions like, is it the right church? Will it lead me to heaven? Can I get genuine salvation there? Is it the church that the bible speaks of? Is it the church that the apostles started and worshiped in? Can often set us on the wrong path. We have to find out the truth ourselves through the bible itself.

THE DAY OF WORSHIP.
It is recorded in the bible that the apostles and Christians worshiped on the first day of the week, which is on a Sunday. John: 20:19, Acts: 20:7. Any church that does not worship on Sunday (the day of the lord) is not the church of the bible. So strike it off the list of churches you are considering to go to.

METHOD OF WORSHIP
The word of God reveals that when the early Apostles or Christians worship on the Lord’s Day, they do four major things.
(1) Continuing in Apostles doctrine.
(2) Fellowship
(3) Breaking of Bread.
(4) Prayers. Acts:2:42

FELLOWSHIP IN CHURCH
Many churches only do fellowship on Sunday and go home. If your church or the church you intend going to is a fellowship church only, then think again. It is time to come out of it, before it is too late.

PRAYER CHURCH
If the church you are going to or intend going to is a prayer church. Once service starts, it’s all about prayer, prayer and more prayer!! They may add fellowship in some instance, then think twice and carefully leave that church, for you are missing something. The bible did not say that it was like that the first Christians worshiped.

BREAKING OF BREAD
Jesus Christ is only recognized at the breaking of bread Lk: 24-:30-35. He directed His church to break bread in His memory. Lk. 22:19. 1 Cor. 11:24-25. This His followers do on the Lord’s Day Act 2:42, and sometimes daily. Acts: 2:46. Those who do not believe in the breaking of bread as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ stopped following Christ. Jn: 6:60-66. It is his true body and true blood. 1 Cor: 11:23-25. It is now quite clear that any church which does not do the breaking of bread is openly disobeying our master Jesus Christ. They are scattering instead of building with Christ. They are not of Christ.

No matter how beautiful their sermons, their miracles, the music they play, the choir, the word of God shared, they are simply trying to cover the truth. Gal: 2:5

THE APOSTLES’ DOCTRINE
All through the New Testament, we see the apostles’ doctrine, but we shall take 10 of them -10 most important doctrines to survey.
1. Sin: The bible teaches that there is a greater sin Jn: 19:11, a mortal sin-sin that leads to death of soul lJn:5:16 and a sin that does not lead to death of soul lJn:5:16, but all sin is sin. Un:5:17.

2. Confession: To obtain forgiveness of sin, people confessed their sins to holy persons. Mk: 1:5, Acts: 19:18, James: 5:16. Jesus Christ gave power to his followers to forgive sin by the Holy Ghost. 1 John: 20:22-23. The teachers of false doctrines claim we need only to confess our sins to God in other to receive forgiveness. If God can heal people through other people, can he not forgive sin also through his chosen few. If your church or the church you want to attend does not follow this doctrine-better stop or don’t go to such a church again, for it is not a bible believing church, but has diluted the word of God.

3. Breaking of Bread: The Apostle Paul calls the Bread-Christ flesh and the wine-his blood. He says that those who eat it anyhow, eat condemnation and death. I Cor: 11:23-34.

Some churches say it is only a sign or symbol of Christ presence, but have no scripture to back up their claims and they go against the teaching of St. Paul. Come out of such a church that mocks the word of God.

4. Hell: If your church like the Jehovah Witness, teach that nothing like Hell exist, then you must beware of joining such a church or sect. Jesus Christ warns about Hellfire several times, Mat: 5:22, 29, and 30. And so does the scriptures. Mat: 23:15, 33, Lk: 12:5 Jas: 3:6, 2Pet:2:4, Mk: 9:43, 45.

If you are in such a church that says Hellfire does not exist, pray to God to deliver you from the hands of such anti-Christ, before it is too late and come out of such a church.

5. Purgatory: A place of purification of the soul before it can see God, for nothing impure shall see God. A place where the soul is purified as if by fire. 1 Cor: 3:13-15.

Ignorance of existence of purgatory does not mean that you would not go there and if your church is ignorant of it, then you are in the wrong place.

6. Baptism: The Apostles baptized whole households Acts: 16:15. They baptized people everywhere not only in water. Acts: 9:17-18. See Peter making the first official Baptism. Acts: 2:41.

If the Apostles preach and people believe, the next thing they do is baptize them. Jesus Christ said we must be born of water and Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jn: 3:3-5, which he explained as being born again. Jn: 3:3.

If your church teaches something else to be born again as Christ stated, rather than Baptism, then you are being led astray.

7. Salvation: Salvation is in Christ Jesus alone. But Christ sent his church (true church) to save souls in his name. Mat: 28:19. So we must be careful and find this true church, so that salvation will be ours at last.

8. Priest hood: The Apostles were priests in the order of Melchizedek Heb: 5:5-10, Gen:14:18-20. Who offer bread and wine Gen: 14:18 as Jesus Christ did. Lk: 22:13-20, I Cor: 11:23-25 and told them to do in his memorial Lk: 22:19. They also did not marry for the sake of the kingdom of God as Christ desired. Mat: 19:11-12.

They did not offer only prayers and money as the present day churches do, nor offer animals as some churches do.

9. Women: Apart from covering their heads while in the church, women are not allowed to practice as priests or Bishops in the Church. 1 Tim:2:12-15. Jesus Christ did not choose any woman as his Apostle, out of 12, and in no part of the Bible is such recorded that women took on the ministry of priesthood or Bishops. See 1 Tim: 2:12 – 15.

Those who elevate women to such position have Christ words to face at the end time and it is wise you stay away from such a Church or ministry which do not do the will of God nor follow scripture.
10. Saints in Heaven: Jesus Christ revealed that John the Baptist was the greatest man on earth but that the least person in heaven is greater than him. Lk: 7:28. These people in heaven, who were once on earth, are the saints. You can then imagine their power. Peter himself believed in the doctrine of saints and said that he would continue his work after his decease. 2Pet:1:15.

How can you follow a church which tells you about heaven, but cannot show you evidence of someone who has gone there. The saints are such evidence-The crowd of witness. Heb: 12:1.

MARY IN THE BIBLE
The bible says that from now on “All generations will call Mary blessed” Lk: 1:48. Find out if your church honours Mary. For what the Lord has done through her Lk: 1:49, if they do not honour Mary, how come they are disobeying the scriptures, while claiming to “follow’ scriptures alone.

FOUNDER
You may ask about all the churches you see around, who is the founder of each of them, and they will give you the name of one person or the other. The bible states that Jesus Christ founded his church and made Peter the head. Jn: 16:13-15, Mt: 16:17-19. Lk: 22:31-32. History tells us that peter was the first pope.

IMAGES
King Solomon in all his wisdom built a temple for God. His temple contained images. lKgs:7:25, 29, 36, just as we see in some church today. See also Num: 21:1-9. They were images used in the worship of God just like the two winged creatures in the covenant box through which God spoke to Moses and which was a copy of the one in heaven. Exo: 33:10, Rev: 11:19, God does not change and so the use of certain images in his worship cannot change.

CONCLUSION
You may have guessed the church that I have opened your eyes to scripture to behold as the true bible believing and bible obeying church-The Roman Catholic Church-never mind what its thousands of enemy say or teach. The scripture bears witness to the truth that it is in the Roman Catholic Church that all of the above may be found and in it alone-you now know what you must do to be saved, enter the ark.

Hmmm.

what takes anyone to heaven isn't your mode of worship but your heart. The bible made it very clear " WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE CAN SEE GOD" It didn't say "Worship" salvation is the key.

Let's stop this argument on which church is the right one and consecrate on heavenly matter.

lol.......... when you put weed in coconut and lit it up this is what you get. NCS No Common Sense

To say the least what he wrote there is capitally unscriptural and I can prove that with a thousand and one scriptures but I Don't argue these days cos those who are destined for eternal life be deceived by post like this.
