It is important to know that has believers in Christ, our way of life which some call religion is different from every other religion.

I will liken Christianity to a technology with software and hardware part. Both the software and the hardware are expandable; this expansion is simply your upgrade.
Hence, when a technology has not been upgraded, it doesn't mean that it is fake.

What do I mean by this? Hab.2:4 Says the just shall live his faith. That is, God relates with you based on your level of faith.

It is therefore not a good and wise thing for you as a minister been invited to another ministry or fellowship, to get there and start condemning or preaching against their doctrine nor their leader (overseer).
Unlike other religions, Christianity gives room for some certain doctrines and faith which I call upgrades.
Apart from the false doctrines and old practices which should not be practiced in Christianity, such as burning of candle, incense, bathing, using of strang perfumes, use of other books.

Apart from the strange things which God codemns, a minister going to another denomintion should know their doctrine and rules and discus with those inviting him or her before ministering.

Some ministeries do not believe that a believer can be possessed by a demon while another believes in deliverances, some don't eat meat while another believes everything is good for food if accepted with thanksgiving unto God. It all depends on their faith.
Those who believe in these thing and those who do not are all Christians and are accepted by God.

It is therefore not wise to be invited as a minister of God, and you go there and then start attacking their doctrine; you will lose many, if not all of them; as they will be disconnected from you.
If you know that you are being invited as a female to a denomination where covering of hair is a must and where they don't use jewlry, and you as a person uses it, you are to avoid all for the sake of the denomination and people.

You can preach cercumcision to the Jews but uncercumcision to the Gentiles.
Paul said, to the Jews I became as a Jews and to the Gentile as a Gentile. To those under the law and being under the law and to those without the law as without the law, yet not being without the law.
Paul was everything to everyone that he might gain all. It is not hypocracy, it is the wisdom of God.
Don't scatter the Chuch of God with your ministry and ministration.

God bless us all, in Jesus name.

Op I think it will be better ministers go to denominations that shares similar doctrines. However there are many doctrines that goes in contrary to the word of God. One of such is the covering of hair by females when praying or prophesying. Many denominations had twisted this scripture yet the commend the mother church of being old fashion. There is no old fashion, Yahweh's standard is the same as he doesn't look the church you attend but his word. Another doctrinal issue is come as you are. Whether you are naked or not just come to church you would be transformed. Instead of being transformed, members go worst to the extend you can not differentiate the world from the church.
Any message that doesn't make you retract your steps back to God and convinces you to stop sinning should be taken with a pinch of salt. So ministers should continue preaching the hard truth even if they are not invited the second time. Many Christians had lost it ,thanks to our general overseers that dilute messages.
Initially prosperity messages where preached but was condemned, now prophecies, healings are the other of the day. No fear of God in the church. Many persons can behave as they like and get away with it. Many altars are too cold as they act as breeding ground to demons.

nice thread

asuustrike2009:

True sir. Your contribution is right.
However somethings are no wrong, but differe ministries handle them in different ways: such as prophesying for instance; some denomination do not allow it, some do, but not too direct, while other allows it in its fullness; they call father's name, call people out in the open, mention their case in front of everybody, etc.

So in a case were you are invited to minister, research on the ministries and their ethics.
People have put their host ministers in trouble because of these kind of attitude.

I have heard of Church members reporting their branch pastors because of the guest minister he brought to minister to them.
Some ministries don't allow external ministers because of these things.

It is a must to preach the truth and good doctrines of faith, whether they like it or not. If they choose to you again fine and if not fine; but some other things can be done in measures.

I really appreciate your sincere submission, but sentiments never makes a christian...... Beloved, i will briefly highlight ur heartfelt message:
In ur introduction, spot-on.... D second paragraph,,,,, way off it, Christianity can never b likened to a technology, the word was made flesh n dwelt amongst men and dat same word abides forever, it doesnt evolve unlike technology, jesus, same today, 2mao n forever.... D same faith called christianity*
You quoted hebrews: "the just shall live by faith" not "his faith" but "the faith"... Belief on the word, so no private interpretation.... The church must b subject to d word, n not religious or denominational creed.
As per condemning other ministers, it shld not b encouraged, but the other can correct them in love n not hypocritically dance to d new dogma.... Always contend for the original faith, not denominational creed.....
As per giving room for private doctorine... Dats heresy, no church shld have her own rule less they b of d devil, the word is sufficient! Rev 22 v18-20......
If a minister doesnt believe in demons then he is not a believer, whom he believe (jesus) cast out n gave power also to his disciples to do same! Dnt b deceived God is not mocked
As per preaching circumcision to jews n uncircumcision to gentiles..... U mis-interpreted paul,,,,,,, he said paul was handed a mandate to preach to gentiles n peter to d jews but the same gospel of faith in jesus, (word) # for if he or peter yet preach circumcision, they r fallen frm grace..... Said apst paul
In conclusion, where u missed it is dis: ur quest to give a good name yo foul organisation caused d error! Denomination is always against christ and d tool of apostacy! Beloved think on these.... Remember christ is returning for a perfect bride not a wrinkled denomination...... I commend u to d study of christ, make him ur library, religious creed n dogma imprisons n damn ones soul..... B blessed
