Is Your 'church' Approved By The Lord? See The Signs by Preciousgirl(op): 8:14pm On Dec 20, 2020
Mark 16:17-18

[17]And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; [/b]they will [b]speak with new tongue[/b]s;

[18]they will [b]take up serpents
; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”


Whatever 'church' you belong to, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do members of your church cast out demons in the name of Jesus?

2. Do members of your church speak with new tongues?

3. Do Sound miracles take place in your church?

4. Do members lay hands on the sick and they get healed?

If you answer NO to the above, it means your church is not approved of the Lord Jesus, flee!

Hallelujah

Please who tells you that the above listed are clearance for God's kingdom.... Mind you devilish men of God and satanic temple also demonstrate all these, are you telling us that they are Approved by the Lord?

The most important factor which determines if a church was approved by the Lord is the teaching/preaching and obedience of His Words.

Even if all the signs are following, without the above factor, the church is not approved of God!

The signs should follow but the Word must be followed!

God bless.

The signs are key; this is a command by the Lord Jesus Himself.

What Jesus Christ said there in Mark has nothing to do with you current idea of "church".

All of what you call churches today are nothing but business entities organized according to the doctrines and traditions/rules of men, beginning from their father-church which includes the Roman Catholic entity down to the denominations of today.

God does not inhabit man-made structures. So how does He "dwell in" winners and "visit" other structures? undecided

I get the point you're trying to make. I am also concerned about the lack of signs in the church today compared to the first church.

But the Truth is that the (obedience of) Word of God is the ultimate not the signs that follow it.

Even the first church had a point when they didn't have the signs that followed prior to the coming of the Holy Ghost. But they had kept God's Word. John 17:6

So even before the signs came, they had been approved of God, hence the coming of the signs was just a confirmation of that fact. Not an approval in itself.

Thanks and God bless.

So what would you say about those whom Jesus said would perform signs and wonders in his name but that he would later reject them? Matthew 7:21-23

If you're using Mark 16:17-18 as a benchmark[though, it was spuriously added to the Bible], then does your church also have the practice of handling live snakes? Because from all indication, it's only voodoo worshipers who engage in this practice.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE GOD'S APPROVED CHURCH OR RELIGION, LET US STOP DECEIVING OURSELVES. EACH AND EVERYONE OF US MUST GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD. GOD SEES US AS INDIVIDUALS AND NOT AS A CHURCH.

I tell you the young lady have a zeal for God but she detests wisdom! Romans 10:2-3

She asked a question that the answer is not far fetched, just one single word JW is enough to present as example for whoever wants to see all the attributes of true congregation of God.
But because she detests JW and that's where what she desire could be found, she continues beating about the bush!

Just ask her to mention a single church having the attributes she listed or let's just conclude that her god is dead as it can't present it's worshipers.

May Jehovah be praised for presenting his true worshipers "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" smiley

Obedience is instead the key, and obedience on an individual level. All those thinking the church business organization they are a part of will help them get info heaven will be shocked by the 2000-year-old truth of Jesus Christ.

By the grace of God, I believe in the listed. However, doing all the listed do no not mean that God is there. John the Baptist never did any miracle as noted but he was approved of God. Jh 10:41. Let’s be guided on writing things online that are not totally true. Remember, I understand that working of miracles indicates so. Thanks.

Young woman instead of arguing blindly why not quote God's word with emphasis on what you want people to learn?

Or maybe Satan is manipulating your thoughts. All those things you listed can be manipulated by Satan. The most important thing the devil can't pretend to have you skipped it: LOVE. But since most "Christians" seek for signs and wonder I'm not surprised by that list.

You really have time in your hands. Those that are lost are lost, except if God intervenes. No matter how you explain to a brainwashed "Christian" you won't convince them, even if the truth is smashed into their face.
Re: Is Your 'church' Approved By The Lord? See The Signs by Preciousgirl(op): 4:56pm On Dec 21, 2020
JWs flooding my thread because none of the signs are manifest in there cult

Yes, the devil counterfeits these signs, it doesn't mean the real signs have ceased


If you claim u are a child of God, the signs must follow u. Don't excuse urself with the devil's counterfeiting

The correct signs must follow u

Jehovah Witnesses is a cult. The Holy Spirit is not in that cult therefore they can't speak in tongues neither heal nor cast out demons. All jws are demon infested

Jesus Christ is God Almighty

JWs die when they see this truth cheesy
Re: Is Your 'church' Approved By The Lord? See The Signs by MaxInDHouse(m):
The Jews are stubborn people so when John the baptist came to fulfil Malachi's prophecy that Elijah will appear before the great day of JEHOVAH {Malachi 4:5} they couldn't recognize the fulfilment of Malachi's prophecy, swiftly Jesus told them that the prophecy has already been fulfilled {Matthew 17:10-13} and there is another prophecy to make them know that the Messiah's assignment has been accomplished {John 19:30} that's Joel's prophecy! Joel 2:28-29 compared to Act 2:16-18

It was this prophecy of Joel that some translators exaggerated and fabricated extra verses in addition to Mark chapter 16.

That's why those things mentioned in those extra verses was never fulfilled till today not even in the first century Christian congregation! embarassed

The sign that will help honest hearted and sincere individuals IDENTIFY Jesus' group in the end time is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL! Galatians 5:22-23

Jesus will not always be around physically with us that's why he promised that God will send another comforter that will help organize and make us orderly just as when he was here in person {John 14:16; 16:12-14} that's why Apostle Paul listed all the attributes that will permeate the gathering of God's people as a sign that God's holy spirit is working with us.

Paul added "whenever you notice all these attributes in any gathering, group or organization, don't say anything against them" Galatians 5:23

That's why i keep praying for the lady OP i know JEHOVAH will forgive her if she desist from speaking against the attributes that only God's holy spirit can work out in the midst of imperfect humans! Luke 12:10

She's free to speak against us because we are like our Master, Lord and King Jesus Christ who will just laugh at the mockery or insults of angry critics. But God will never forgive anyone who consciously speak against his holy spirit {Matthew 12:32}
WHY?
Because it's what the holy spirit made possible in the midst of imperfect humans that will attract right thinking persons {Matthew 7:15-20} so if despite this fine attributes someone still open his/her mouth to speak against God's work, then nothing can make such a person repent! Hebrew 10:26-29

May you have PEACE! smiley
