The war will not be South against the North nor Muslim against the Christian but between the RICH and the POOR, the ELITES and the MASSES.

muslims dont reject the message of Jesus, actually we follow it and glorify him.

dat u gather crowds is not an assurance if approval from God,absolute holiness within and without is d only way to heaven. Even magicians,satanists and soothsayers gathers crowds not even in thousands,but in millions. Jesus is Lord.

paxonel:
your statement LET HIM BE LORD OF YOUR LIFE do not reflect in the scripture you quoted, but TO BELIEVE ONLY.
obviously, To let him be lord of your life is one and the same thing as to believe.
Remember, Jesus says who is for me is not against me.
Therefore, you cannot say a person is not a Christian because he is a terrible person. He only know who a Christian is by his belief

Where did you suggest that we are saved by works?
By saying that not coming from a Christian home makes one a Christian but by Christians(people who are already convinced that Jesus is the Christ therefore they are already converted like that) being converted because we are all sinners and each need salvation from Christ.(meaning, we need Christ to save us by us, stop comit sin which translates to BY WORKS which is not possible).
let me tell you the truth!
Do you see the crowd of people at the crusade posted by the OP? every single one of them irrespective of who they are, are not Muslims or people of other religion, but Christians, that's why see them there in the meeting
They all believe that Jesus is the Christ that was slain 2000 years ago.
How come that among these same people, the convener or pastor is calling for people to come out to accept Christ?
Can't you smell the foul play there?
Something is terribly wrong with the kind of Christianity we practice here in Africa.
By extension, we are all infected as a nation.

Who told you?
Why do you say so? Have you find out the true meaning of religion?

UnchangeableGod:
Friend, so the summary of all this long sermon is to encourage those you tutor that they do not need to obey God's commandments after they are saved! But try as much as you can, you cannot explain it away. Jesus Christ gave commandments to His disciples to practically obey as an evidence that they truly love Him. "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15) is as clear, simple and unambiguous as ABC. Do not mix things up. The 'law' referred to in 1st Timothy 1:9 meant for sinners is not the same as the commandments Christ gave to His saved disciples. Keeping God's commandments is a natural result of a converted and changed life. Calling Him Lord, Lord and ignoring his words and commandments is outright hypocrisy (Luke 6:46). It is not about man-made legalism, not at all. You craftily emphasized verse 20 of Matthew 5 leaving out verse 19. You see what I alluded to earlier. This is what is in vogue. Some gather youths and teach them a lot, so much indeed from the Bible just to encourage careless and loose living among 'Christians'. And they rush to such places claiming they are 'well taught' (2nd Timothy 4:3,4). Sincerely speaking, are you not gathering people for damnation? In the very words of our Lord and Master, some people "compass land and sea to make proselytes and then make them twice the children of hell than themselves" (Matthew 23:15). May God deliver us from false teachers and their damnable errors I J N, Amen.

UnchangeableGod:
Jesus came to save us from sin. (Matthew 1:21).Then to those who are saved, He gave commandments (Matthew 5:19,20; 22:36-40; John 13:34,35; 15:10,12-14). Obedience to His commandments is the only proof that we are truly His own (Luke 6:46). The problem with you people is your one-sided presentation of the gospel. What are you people actually afraid of? I do not need your kind of 'understanding' that makes people to emphasize one truth at the expense of another. Thanks.

paxonel:
They did not receive Christ. They are all Christians. It is when members of other religions are converted into Christianity that you can say that people have received Christ, not this one.
Can you now see where the deception is coming from?

UnchangeableGod:
I preach Christ Jesus and the salvation He brought. Christ commissioned us to teach those who are saved all He has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20). He commanded purity of life, right-living, love for
others, prayerfulness and watchfulness, faithfulness, faith, evangelism and healing of the sick etc Those who are saved are expected to be obedient to the Saviour both by doing His will and teaching others same. Doing so is not 'majoring in the minor'. We cannot explain it away. Thanks.

She's in her shrine as usual: “The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.” (Psalm 135:15-18)

You got it wrong you know! Those people in the book of Acts 19:1-7 cannot be called believers as in believing in Christ, because they never heard the gospel. Yes they said that they were baptized unto John's baptism, meaning they only heard the preaching of John concerning the coming messiah (which is the baptism of repentance). Then Apostle took them through the message of Christ (which is the death burial and resurrection and even His ascension) see (1cor 15:1-5) and they believed then he laid hand on them Holy Ghost came in them and they started speaking in tongues. The baptism in this content and context is not water baptism but teaching!

Syncan:
Italo's bible class is quite effective, this one has learnt two quotes. Congrats bro.

Now that's why am always first to take a seat in your bible class

novicali:
Please expatiate on your points cos I’m getting something but not clear. How can a new christian not have Holy Ghost, who convicted him? And is Spirit of God different from Holy Ghost? Again do we have fake Holy Ghost?

zionmade1:
Yeah i pay for sick people to go and get healed in d healing school.
And once on nairaland I offered to sponsor anyone who would want to attend d healing school. Yeah call me a Christian extremist, on my pastor's birthday i go to d streets and put smiles on d faces of destitutes in my city. That is my type of extremism, sponsoring children to school through d inner city mission, thats my extremism, giving everything i have to ensure on or two kids leave d streets and slums to school, thats my extremism. I can also sponsor a madman like u to healing school because i really something is missing in ur brain, i can also sponsor u to a psychiatric hospital where they can place u with insane people of ur class.

UnchangeableGod:
miracles, materialism, wealth, success, prosperity, healing and deliverance (things that are not abiding).

UnchangeableGod:
Repentance, salvation, purity, restitution, living right etc should be the emphasis.

UnchangeableGod:
It is so unfortunate that somebody will gather prostitutes, fraudsters, delinquents, fornicators, perverts, tugs and all categories of sinners together and call them Christians without leading them to genuine repentance from sin. It saddens heaven to see how people are being taught a lot from the Bible other than how to be free from sin. It is real a pity that multitudes, especially the younger generation go for crusades and to worship places to hear motivational messages and be made to feel better while growing deeper in iniquity. It is such a pity that sinners are told with all brazenness that they can be Christians while still wilfully sinning! As such, religion and 'churchiality' is on the astronomical rise while iniquity is equally geometrically increasing!

UnchangeableGod:
It is obvious you are not yet a Christian. Yet you are a 'tutor' to some 'Christians'! Little wonder people who call themselves Christians make people of other religions and atteists to assume they do not need our gospel.
