petra1:1, They merchandise the "gospel". 2, They preach Lordship salvation which is false. 3, The preach health, wealth prosperity as rights of a Christian which have no basis in the scripture. 4, The preach the Law by teaching that believers are expected to tithe. 5, Their prophesies are filled with half-truths thereby lying against God. 6, They compromise the faith by dabbling into politics and sowing seeds of discord in the minds of Citizens of the country. 7, They take from the poor through smooth talks and flattery. 8, Their miracles are staged. 9, They have their rewards already etc... Secondly have you thought about the fact that you may be wrong in judging them .LOL poor child. And if for any reason you're wrong have you also thought about the consequence .You should be more concerned about believing men with questionable doctrines. The worsening state of corruption here is tangible proof (for those who have no time yet to open their bibles)that these men are nothing but charlatans. Be worried that you have to defend them all the time |
chrisav:Nope. That not all. Here is what it says For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:5-11. False teachers have no truth on their lips for whatsoever they speak, they speak in respect of their father, the devil. Their words are empty blabbings, vain and deceitful. Tell me how they are not among the unfruitful works of darkness again? u correct falsehood by preaching truth not by calling out others.Is this a denial of some sort that most of you have resort to. We preach the truth always but you turn a blind eye. And when we call out liars in the faith for your good, you accuse us of deviating. If this is your mindset, I can bet with anything that you would have given Jesus this same advice in his days as the "good and minding my business Christian" The same Jesus who preached the truth, is the same who rebuked the broods of vipers in His days. Even Paul had a number of people he called out, rebuked and warned others about (the link I shared elaborated a lot). Your leniency with errors is the reason for the spread of a fad in Christendom today. Name calling is not only unscriptural but also a public show of immaturity.Support your assertion that name calling is unscriptural or this is just a baseless opinion. mark 3:22Don't you get? We are exposing the works and workers of darkness, so how are we against ourselves? my stand: u correct false teaching by preaching the truth not name calling."My stand" There lies your pride.You are the final authority over your life not mine or other genuine Christians. The Word of God takes preeminence here. |
chrisav:Yes calling out false teachers is very biblical. In exposing false teachings we expose the professors hindering believers from obeying the truth of the gospel. Romans 16:17-18 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, [u]but instead expose them. Helpful thread https://www.nairaland.com/786944/it-right-christian-expose-false Marking false teachers is primarily intended for genuine believers to be on guard and embrace the true gospel. 1 Tim 1:18[i] It's important to quote everything don't you think? Or are you hiding anything? Paul was telling Timothy to arm himself with personal prophecies about him that were foretold that he might stand boldly against any opposition. So? Disgrace to Christendom? seriously? How can the church that has been graced by Christ be disgraced?Please can you prove this? How have these churches been engraced biblically? Romans 16:17That is what we are doing. We want believers to avoid them. We are not badmouthing them, we are exposing them. Is calling a thief, thief badmouthing him? lastly if u think someone is false I think the right thing to do is cry in prayer to the Lord to save such a person. Jesus died for all including false teachers. Regard beautiful sister.Come on, tell me what is biblical. Your opinion does not count remember. If you think Jesus died for everyone and also false teachers , you need to visit a seminary school to learn basic Christianity or go study the Bible again with those coloured glasses off? Thank you. |
BluntBoy:Amen. Sister |
Exposing false teachers is not 'judging' but doing God's work! And only false Christians feel threatened because their faulty foundation is shaken by truth. May I add, false teachers are the ones teaching errors, causing division among genuine believers (which is for a while) and bringing mockery and disgrace to Christendom. It is not a sweet thing to be labeled a fault-finder but Christians are held accountable for and are to zealously guard the purity of the message God has entrusted to us, and for good reason (1 Tim 1:18-19; 6:20; 2 Tim. 4:2-5) We read in such passages as Acts 20, and 2 Peter 2, that false teachers will arise, bringing with them destructive heresies, distorting the truth and destroying the faith of some. Moreover, it is clear that these teachers will come not only from outside the church, but also from within the body of Christ as well. It is therefore imperative that we test all things by Scripture (1 Thes. 5:21). It was in this spirit that the Bereans examined the words of the Apostle Paul, for which they were reckoned as noble in character (Acts 17:11). We would, therefore, do well to heed Scripture’s explicit warnings to be on guard for false teachings (Rom. 16:17-18; cf. 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 4:16; 2 Tim. 1:13-14; Titus 1:9; 2:1), and to point them out to brothers and sisters in Christ (1 Tim. 4:6) |
BluntBoy:Jude 1:4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. |
Niflheim:If Religion was the problem, Jesus would have died for religion not men. Quit embarrassing yourselves blaming "a belief system". Pour your frustration on the fools that make a joke out of it. |
Beautiful couple ignorant of the true God

Since many Nigerians are deceived into thinking whites hardly lie, what do you expect! Use more non-blacks to stage miracles and get the gullibles' brains locked |
Everyone outside Christ is deceived in some form. The ones that appear obvious are those radically seeking to use God as means to their god (money, fame, food, wears, husband,wife, visa, etc) |
Tosinex:Totally wrong, not good even in or out of fellowship. Even you yourself have said it is a new trend |
michaelwestern:You mean before fellowshipping with other believers? because church means two or more Christians... If you have no covering on your head ie long hair (not the tiny hairs on your head) then you are good to pray or prophesy. |
michaelwestern:Vs 14! No man should leave his hair long like a woman's but should have it shaved. The covering is long hair or woman type of hair. It's shameful for a man to rock such |
michaelwestern:vs 15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering" Brother you yourself quoted that verse. It says her hair is given her for a covering. Which other covering again do you want bikonu. just because it's the common thing around to cover one's hair with headtie doesn't make it sensible! And like Topgainer has said, uncovered head is a shaved one as in "pachangolo" no hair at all on the head. If that's the case, it's either she grows her hair, put on a weave or veil. |
michaelwestern:If she has long hair or a weave on, what's the need wearing a veil or head tie again. Isn't the hair already covering her head |
God Almighty His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu warns..Pukes |
How vastly different is the God of the scriptures from the god of the average pulpit. |
MuttleyLaff:Maybe you have a problem with the name "Christian" The thread is about the common meaning of what a Christian is not historical lessons on where the word originated from. So you get let the thread be just as everyone understands |
First, What can make your heart clean and your way right before God? |
MuttleyLaff:Yes I'm a Christian. Why? |
grafitti:You are welcome my friend. We need to closely examine ourselves and if we find we are not too sure where we stand, it's most likely that we don't have the Holy Spirit in us who bears witness with our Spirits that we are sons of God. But if we have more than enough assurance that we stand right with God, then we have that Faith that God gives to His beloved. |
dangotesmummy:My friend I must be honest with you, like your master, Adeboye you have no idea what Jesus Christ did on the cross and have no iota of respect or fear for the God of the Bible. I take my time to avoid "Christians" like you and warn other sincere Christians about you for you ve chosen to regard yourself above God's word. I leave you to your foolishness. |
dangotesmummy:You may want to explain how he" tells you to go about "chasing holiness" ? How do you chase holiness through a false gospel of freewillism? " ...and the money will come" What? You can't see how un-Christian this sounds Money is the reward or one of the rewards for chasing holiness! Now you want to end this lie smartly by quickly stating you just seek God with no expectation. Like I am a fool or a dumby who can't see through your lies |
grafitti:Mr Adeboye is nothing but a false Christian who has been placed on the pedestal by other shy false Christians. He hates the God of the Bible like his predecessors. He teaches a false gospel of freewillism and prosperity and believes in ecumenism. He does not understand the ministry of Jesus which is preaching Christ and him crucified and hence knows nothing about true peace and unity. If Mr Adebayo knew the Lord he would not be seeking for peace with other religions and false prophets but telling us of how offensive his gospel is to men. And do I need to add, he has a great following, one of the marks of a wolf in a sheep's skin.

Bump! |
Nice one. We should be Christian enough to pray for our leaders. |
5 The message of the cross is vague to you All your life you heard Christ died for sinners but its weird when you really want to look at it. You wonder why he had to die on a tree and if there was no other way out for men. When you behold him on the cross, you can't see your sin upon him like everyone says because well you still sin. You can't understand the resurrection cos sin still has a strong hold on you even after "giving your life to Christ" or being born in a "Christian family" You would wonder why He is the saviour or how his death made a difference but you are afraid of labels so you don't want to seek to find answers. You might look "Antichrist" to other false religious Christians who just want to live as they want. Nothing adds up to you! If you were bolder you would confess the message of the cross is foolishness to you (sin makes you shy too and hides you from the truth.) But what is foolishness to you is what has saved the passionate Christians! 6, You are not sure you are saved This isn't the occasional weakening of faith that needs strengthening through prayer, studying of the word or fellowship, this is a whole different kind of doubt that comes from lack of saving faith. If you are not sure that you will be with Jesus once you pass on, it's a telling sign that you are not saved. And the gospel you heard only came by word with no assurance or power. You are just hoping you make it? You wont if you are not sure.The stern warning from Paul to the Corinthians about knowing for sure if they are in the faith should not be taken lightly. It is very important for us to know our stand else we stand no where with God [[[ Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? ]]] 2Corinthians 13:5 Think about this. Was there a man in the Bible that got saved and was still not sure Christ was in him? Was there a man that knew God and lived in doubt of meeting Him after here? The Christian is such a "mysterious" being that his life ceased the day he got saved. He felt the agony of suffering and burden of death. And also the newness of life, a different life. Can you say the same? Have you reached that point where you realize you have no life but Christ. People say "go get a life" They tell you to go make a meaning out of your life, be ambitious, aim for the good things of life. But a Christian has no life to live anymore, he only has Christ who is now his life. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.[/ Colossians 3:4 If this is the case for a man, how can he think he is not sure yet if he would be with the Lord when he dies. I mean he has Christ/Light in him, he was dead and brought to life, how can he be in the dark about his faith? If Lazarus knew he was alive again when Christ commanded him to come forth how can you not know you alive when God brings you to life. Except you are yet dead in your sins And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. |
In my experience I've found there a lot of reasons why many "Christians" are not really Christians and many than I imagine have wrestled with their consciences over this. While few have been able to own up, many have found the smooth way out...LIVE IN DELUSIONS. So here is why you need to know why you are genuine or just an empty professor. Why? Do you believe the Bible is of God? Sure you do! so how do you think you can pretend it doesn't really matter what it says and still be accepted by God when keeping the Word is loving God, being Christian? Not to waste time, here are very strong reasons why you are most likely not a Christian and why you need to seek God in truth. 1. You have no genuine hatred for sin : This is one of the powerful marks of a false Christian. He loves his sinful lifestyle. He clubs, fornicates, steals, lies, all through and doesn't get chastised for them. He has not the Holy Spirit in him to grieve and cause him to repent. Many atimes he runs to religious gatherings, "church" to massage his conscience, pats and assures himself that as long as he calls on God once in a while, visits his local "church" and respects his "pastor" he is good to go. This person also thinks God does not mean His word when His word says He cannot behold iniquity and all doers of evil will have no inheritance in His Kingdom. To him, God must have been joking or would change His mind on the day of judgment and pity them. "Surely God cannot punish us forever because of sins" His heart deceives him and then he seeks for teachers/pastors/prophets who would be easy with him! One of the first works the HolySpirit does in a sinner is to convict him of sin."Hey buddy you got a wrong view of sin, sin is a big deal" And to teach us to live godly and uprightly. John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ~~~~~~~••••••~~~~~~~~•••~~~~~~~~ A Christian is saved from sin not in sin. There is a difference between hating sin and sinning. We cannot truly hate sin if the HolySpirit is not in us. Not that we would not sin but we would always be in a state of repentance, seeking for Grace as we trust in God to purge and purify us for Himself. 2, You don't like the company of passionate Christians Had to use passionate for emphasis. Who is a Christian? Someone with great passion for Christ. Who loves God and wants other people saved too. A man who has great conviction goes about like a "mad man" telling people about what he has found But one with no conviction or little has nothing much to say. And a Christian has great conviction as evidenced in the Bible! Everyone that was saved wanted others saved too! You got life, you want same for others, so you always talk about it! And even risk your life! Almost all false Christians disassociate themselves from this people SUBTLY. why? Because they have little or nothing to contribute. And yes, they don't really love God so they are better of with other people that are not crazy about Him. Why keep friends with people who are the direct opposite of you and even judge what you do as wrong. It's very logical for them to stay away but they would not escape judgement because they love not God or those born of Him but only give lip service. John13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John3:20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 3, You pick what you want from the Bible and ignore the rest It takes a man with complete lack of fear of God to do this. What he is invariably saying is that he is the final authority over his life not God's word. -For though the Bible says all men should repent, he would not teach that repentance unto life is giving by God alone. -He would teach an empty grace that permits sin. -He would not teach Grace at all but legalism because "many around have abused Grace." -He would tell people we are in the dispensation of grace and still require them to do something as lawful as tithing. - He would tell people to touch this and touch not this, and won't teach them the whole counsel of God in order to keep them enslaved. etc People who Cherry pick have no regard for God's word and are striving with God. They want to be on the throne! False Christian. 4, You don't care about sound doctrines Oh yeah. A false Christian may care about doctrines but I bet you they better not be what he/she doesn't prefer in a religious sense. She prefers to wear long skirts and cover her hair, she wants a doctrine that says this is how a Christian woman should dress and a good way to earn a heavenly ticket! She finds teachers who would encourage her. When you talk of God's grace, election, predestination as taught in the scriptures she immediately rebukes and labels you a false Christian looking for every means to sin! So what does she understand by Grace? absolutely nothing Just tell her to do this and do that and she is okay. A false Christian has no desire to search the scriptures and learn sound doctrines that would help in time of need and edify them, they'd rather listen to the doctrines of men. And the most awful is, since we judge others according to our beliefs these false Christians run into trouble with God for judging unrighteously. John7:24 For have you noticed they judge by appearance! |
He is right. No man has the right to take another's life except God But the greatest insult against God is letting yourself to be called the "vicar of Christ or God's representative on earth" because that's a billion rebellion against the authority of the one true God who is God all by Himself. And what wickedness, to steal God's glory and souls under you. And think you wont pay! God laughs at the wickedness of men. God laughs at the dust being "glorified" by men instead of Him |
