We must understand that not every religious gathering that calls itself church actually belongs to Christ or comes from God. The majority of congregations today referred to as church, have nothing in common with Christ. Some of them are nothing but the synagogues of Satan, which means an assembly where people profess to know God but deny Him by character (Revelation 2:9). It is important to recognize that as Jesus Christ has His representatives on earth, so the antichrist has his. There are Christians and there are anti-Christians, the Lord teaches this in the parable of the wheat and tares;

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew (Matthew13:24-26).
 
The son of man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil (Vs 37-39). The wheat represents the living Christians, those who are growing spiritually producing the fruits of the Spirit with the hopes of achieving total sinless perfection in Christ. The wheat type Christians convert souls into righteousness through their character (by the Holy Spirit), while the weeds (the acting Christians) are the material conscious, miracle chasers who don’t bear fruits of the Spirit, talk less of Christ using them to win souls.  The antichristian only acknowledges God when they have needs; their only desire is to use God to achieve their selfish interests, prophet Isaiah prophesied about this type…

These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish (Isaiah 29:13-14).

The anti-Christians act according to their denominational rules and constitutions, not as the Holy Spirit leads them.  Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God (Romans8:14). False Christians have no time to pray or listen to the Holy Spirit, instead they follow human traditions, for example; they don’t take the initiative to pray, study or witness to a soul, without a group involvement. The anti believers advertise and entice people to come to their churches instead of teaching the people and baptizing them into Christ. Members of an antichrist assembly do works to please their leaders, not God, and their behavior in “church” is not genuine, which is why one can see a congregation with its pastor delivering a dramatic sermon but lives are not being changed. Once the church meeting is over the members disburse unchanged; the homosexuals, liars and so forth continue in their evil ways until the next Sunday when they return to their “church” to be entertained again by actors (pastors)  performing on stage (pulpit) and their choir sings for entertainment purposes, not to lead the congregation into spiritual worship. In the false church people are being commanded and persuaded to be in the mood of praise by having them to wave their hands in the air when the spirit of God is not leading them to do so.

What blindness!  The only group that most of us acknowledge as Satan’s church is the first church of Satan founded by Anton Lavey in the United States simply because Lavey was bold enough to name his organization after Satan. Nevertheless, the truth of the matter is that Lavey’s movement is the least among the antichrist church. The real church of antichrist that knows its mission and is fully committed to deception will hardly bear the name, “Church of Satan”, those people who intentionally want to perish will attend a cult like that of Anton Lavey.  The real churches of Satan are always disguised to resemble Christ’s church (which is spiritual) so that it will be able to deceive and gain converts. A revelation from the Holy Spirit is necessary to spot out the false churches, because they will come in sheep’s clothing claiming to be God’s anointed (Mathew 7:15-16, 24:4). It is significant for us to recognize that the Antichrist assemblies include all human organized religions that have Christian names but fail to follow the accurate divine principle of Christ; instead, they observe human traditions. One common thing among the churches of antichrist is human worship; their members always exalt, honor and worship the founder as god. The leader of an antichrist church always presents himself as the only ear and mouth of the entire congregation; without the senior pastor, God cannot speak directly to any church member. It is not uncommon to find some of the church members carrying or wearing the leaders’ photo as a badge, or displaying them in their homes. Members of the false church know little about Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and are indirectly taught to glorify the founder of the church; the leader’s book is read next to the bible or even considered equal to the Holy Scriptures. It is very dangerous to fellowship in churches dominated and controlled by one person where the pastor alone is the determining factor of the church activities. A church which operates in this manner is an occult in disguise (2Corinthians 11:13-15); please, flee from such organizations! In the true church of God there is no boss, Jesus Christ is the Lord and we are all brothers and co-laborers.

peace be unto those people who love the truth!
