how about the one i say the righteousness of God was revealed from faith to faith, which is from religion to religion,
that we are saved by our religion which is Christianity, that everybody in Christianity are saved.
are you aware of that?
if everybody in Christianity are saved by grace which is Christianity why then the alter call?
are there Muslims in the congregation?
if pastors are making alter calls to invite backsliders back, or for healing or baptism of the holy spirit, it's ok, I am not against that.
But alter call to win souls that they should be saved, people who are christians should be saved? it is ridiculous.
why were they christians in the first place? why do they have Grace?
first of all, are you aware that everybody in Christianity are saved?
that the kingdom of God is Christianity, if you understand Jesus parables?

Pls read it from verse 14, for better understand

1Co_6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Hahahah, God forgive u
let me analyze somethings to u.
Self servicing comes from d spirit of lust
It a lost of flesh
D bible says
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." (Romans 8:6-.
IF U ARE A CHRISTAIN I THINK U WILL UNDERSTAND CLEARLY NOW THAT IT LUST OF FLESH.

the need to first seek out a church is for a new life in Christ(the healing part) but thereafter we need to continually renew our mind/spirit with th Word of God(both the spoken and written word) and the gathering of God's pple(the church) is the first point of call for that. To be set free and stop going to church is an easy way to Backslidden. When you remain with pple of like-minds, then iron shapen irons and spiritual growth is on course.

blantant lie bro...yes, there may be some fake pastors who are out for the sake of their belly but not all pls. Infact, the fake pastors exist because there are the original once.....btw., part of what our bible teaches us is giving(to the needy among us, ophans, widows, less priviledged and the likes) out of a cheerful heart as lead...nt compulsorily.

I'm talking about identity here, bro...we first identify with each other in our small gathering and take it from there elsewhere. This isnt abt the name of the church but abt the effect of the new life that is commonly found in us. I identify you as a Christian outside church only by the type of life your live.

In summary, it is more of a command to us as a christian in Heb 10:25.."..and not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."...
That is the bible settling that and to insist on your way is to question the authority of the bible....pls., note the part.."as is the manner of some.." it is not new for pple to find strange excuse.
I will like to end this by asking you if you even know Jesus personally...kbowing Him will settle most of your questions...shalom!

Iceflox:
you are right, church is for healing.
But most people who go to church are not sick, they don't need healing. let pastors set them free, let them stop going.
why i am saying this, all pastors are now using the gathering to distort from Nigerians, and our mumu government will not protect them.
don't you have your kind in your office or school or whereever to influence you like your Savior?
must it be church?

you are right
this confirm this Jesus parable in
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the WHOLE was leavened.
this means, the kingdom of God is now becoming the whole earth as the waters covereth the sea

Proximo73:
all these pastors or men of God, they wount come out to talk now o,
if is inside church they will be filled with the holy spirit and shout, repent! rapture and end time is coming.
now that we are in social forum like this, they will not be filled with the spirit to talk now o, so that people will not ask them questions

ayoku777:
Paxonel is very right

That passage gave me problems too for a while. I had to pray to God and ask Him, who are those who called you Lord Lord and even did wonderful works in your name? Yet you never knew them?

Those guys are not christians, they are the jews who lived during the time of Christ's earthly ministry.

They followed Him, they called Him, “Lord, Lord”, they even did miracles and cast out devils in His name.

But they didn't do the will of the Father -which is to believe in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, and in His death and resurrection.

These are not christians, these are jews who followed Jesus but didn't become christians.

Here are other scriptures that buttress this truth:

Luke 13v25-27 -When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lorf, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.

These are Jews who lived and followed Christ during His earthly ministry. They drank and ate in His presence, listened to Him preach in their streets and even called Him Lord.

Many of such believers even casted out demons in His name:

Luke 9v49 -And John answered and said, Master, we saw one CASTING OUT DEVILS IN THY NAME; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

They did many works in His name, but many of such deserted Christ before His death and resurrection and didn't follow on to become christians. They left Jesus before the New covenant.

These are the ones who will be told Depart from me I never knew you. Those who followed Jesus and called him Lord under the old covenant but didn't follow Him into the new (post-resurrection)

Anyone who calls Jesus Lord from the heart now under the new covenant has the Holy Spirit, he is not a worker of iniquity and Jesus knows him.

Hmmmm!
Not all who said to me lord lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
For you to understand this, let me explain something about the kingdom of God .
Before Christ was crucified ( before the kingdom of heaven was established on earth, many disciples followed Christ and called him lord lord in those days, just to attend the kingdom which was about to be established at that time,which is Christianity. But few of the disciples were able to hold their believe firm until christ was crucified, infact, all of them ran away, even Peter who thought his faith in Christ was strong even denied Christ.
At the end when Jesus was finally crucified, when the kingdom was established, out of the 5000 disciples who eat 5 loaves and 2 fishes,only about 120 disciples started the christianty, which is the kingdom of God,on the day of pentecost, act 1:15.
Hence, few disciples who called him lord lord ended up entering Christianity.
Thats why he told them, strive to enter the gate, many will try to enter but few will gain entry.
Hence. The kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force.
And on that day, (the day of his resurrection ) many will say, we cast out demons,we heal the sick.
You know, Jesus actually gave his disciples power to cast out demons and heal the sick even when they were not yet christians.
But Jesus told them, i know you not, meaning, they ran away when he was about to be crucified even after they saw the miracles.
Those disciples (120 of them ) were those that actually did the will of the father because they held their believe till the end, and because they saw him appear to them after the resurrection.
Today, we christians are already in that kingdom, we don't need to suffer what the disciples suffered in the wilderness when Christianity was about to be established 2000 years ago. We are far better than they.
The list person in Christianity is far better than John the Baptist and Judas Iscariot who died before Christianity was established, and we are better than all the prophets of old testament or Judaism. So, when i see pastors reading old testament for promises, they are just belittling themselves.
And they made people still waiting for rapture, meanwhile, the kingdom of heaven is already inside us in our spirit.
You know,God lives eternally, man lost his eternal life as a result of sin. Jesus restored that eternal life to man by bringing his kingdom down on earth the moment he was crucified.
as many of us that believe are part of that kingdom on earth. That kingdom is christianity.(If you understand Jesus parables when he will say, the kingdom of heaven is like unto...
Jesus is the founder of Christianity,just like Mohammed founded islam.
Christianity started after Christ was crucified, that means, before the crucifixion, it was Judaism, another religion entirely, but the same bible.
God has rejected Judaism(old covenant) and lifted Christianity ( the new covenant which is kingdom of heaven) for salvation.
Hence Christianity is now our faith. Without Christianity our faith it is impossible to please God.

Christianity is supposed to be seen as one religion. but if you ask people like oledepo who didn't go to school on time, he will tell you that Christianity is not a religion. now they are turning it to fraternity way of life. please, is this the kind of thing Jesus thought us? i don't think so.
