I have just been wondering....
Okay let me allow you into my thoughts....
Dear Christian brother/sister, If the Redeemed Christian Church of God decides to change its name, pastor , church logo & doctrine, would that affect you in anyway? I mean would that affect your Christianity? Your faith?
If Winners' chapel decides to do same, and The Christ Embassy, and The mountain of Fire and
Miracles, and the Deeper Life Church and the Assemblies of God Church and all of these churches decide to do the same. What becomes of your faith?
Would that affect the Jesus you claim you believe in and serve?
If it would, Then you have been serving the church system and the church building and the church as in the church as an organisation. You have not been serving Christ.
But if even in the face of changes in a church system your faith is still intact, your Jesus not affected, then you have been a true Christian.
With this understanding, I can walk into any church building where the name of Jesus is called upon in Spirit and in Truth and it is home for me.
And the young man or young woman sitting next to me is my brother and my sister. Because really, our unifying factor, our rallying point is not the church building or the pastor but Christ, The Head of The Church
