“FALSE: Apostolic Churches & Ministries – 101” …Blog.



“FALSE: Apostolic Churches & Ministries – 101” …Blog.

*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept; precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go; and fall backward [backslide]; and be broken; and snared; and taken.

*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.

*** (1Jn 2:21) I have Not written to you because you do Not know the Truth; But because you Know it; and know that -> ‘No Lie’ is of -> the Truth.

*** (Matthew 16:17-to-20) Then Jesus said to him, "How blessed are you, Simon, son of John! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven has.
(Matt 16:18) I tell you that you are Peter, and it is on this rock that I will build my church, and the powers of hell will not conquer it.
(Matt 16:19) I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven." [Matthew 18:15-to-18 & 1Corintahins 5:1-to-6]
(Matt 16:20) Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ. [Messiah!]

*** (2Timothy 3:12-13) Indeed, ALL who want to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
(2TiM 3:13) But Evil People and “Impostors” will go from Bad to Worse as they Deceive others and are themselves deceived. [2Corinthians 11:13-14-15 & 2Peter 2:1-2]

Is the Holy Word of God… your “ONLY Point of Reference” for “GOD’S TRUTH”…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”…? If You said “Yes”, then we can continue with this discussion. If You said “NO”, then You call… “God a Liar” and: are “Blinded by Satan!” The above Scriptures say that very “Thing!” Because MOST of those who call themselves “Christians [?]”… DO NOT KNOW… their Bibles: they are Often: “DECIECED” by those calling themselves… “Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists: and the Like!” Do You take your Bible can apply… “Acts 17:11”… to everything said to be… “Christian [?]” Please answer, “Yes or NO”…? Yes, even these Bible Blogs…! Or do You simply believe… “Everyone”…? Do You really believe that there are Real: “Apostolic Churches & Apostolic Ministries”… Headed by “Real NT Apostles”… following the succession from “Peter & the Jerusalem Church”…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”…? When Satan challenged Christ Jesus as to His: “Authenticity”… He simply replied: “It is Written”… “Matthew 4:4” & “Luke 4:4” & “Deuteronomy 8:1-2-3”…!

“It is Written – 101” …Blog.

*** (Numbers 23:19) God is NOT a man that He should Lie, Neither the son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? [Yes!] Or has He spoken, and shall He Not make it good? [Yes!] [Malachi 3:6!]

*** (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ; the same: “Yesterday”: and “Today”: and “Forever!”

*** (Jeremiah 23:29) Is not My Word like a Fire? Says the LORD Jehovah; and like a Hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? [Hebrews 4:11-12-13]

*** (Ephesians 6:17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,

*** (1Corinthains 16:22) If Anyone does NOT love the Lord Jesus Christ; let him be Accursed [Damned]. The Lord comes! [Again]

Holy Spirit Conviction - 101

Before anyone can call identify a ‘Church’… we should see what the Scriptures: say about the Word, “Church”…? The word translated from the Greek NT… “Church”… simply means the “Called Out Ones!” The question arises, ‘Called out from What?’ From the kingdom of Darkness… into the Kingdom of Light: “The Kingdom of God!” The Church is simply “ALL”  those… “Born Again of the Holy Spirit of God”…! The Bride of Christ, His Church is NOT a denomination…! “All Denominations are MAN MADE”… and Corrupt~! They Falsely Say: they believe the Bible: but each one: has a Different Teaching…! Different than, the Holy Word of GOD! Those who are “Truly Born Again”, Hold ONLY: to His Holy Word… as the Truth of God! His ‘Real Children’ are “NOT Chameleons”… who change to “Fit In Anywhere”…! His Real Children continually AFFIRM: “His Holy Word”, as the Only: “TRUTH of GOD”…! Question, will Your “Church Denominational Teachings”… Judge US on the “Last Day”…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”…? If You said “Yes”, then You missed what Christ Jesus said in “His Holy Word”…~!

*** (John 12:48) He who ‘Rejects’ Me [Christ Jesus]; and does ‘NOT’ receive My Words; has One who judges him; the WORD -> that I have spoken; the same shall ‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.

*** (Hebrews 12:22-to-29) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
(Heb 12:23) to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are written in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
(Heb 12:24) and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
(Heb 12:25) See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did Not escape, those who refused him [Moses] that spoke on earth, much more we shall not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from Heaven,
(Heb 12:26) Whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will not only shake the earth, but also the heavens."
(Heb 12:27) And this word, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
(Heb 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear,
(Heb 12:29) for also, "Our God is a consuming fire."

*** (1Peter 2:9-10) But you are a Chosen Generation [John 7:38-39], a royal priesthood [Revelation 1:6], an holy nation [1Peter 1:13-to-16] , a peculiar people [Titus 2:14]; that you should show forth the praises of Him, Who has called you Out of Darkness [1Jn 5:19] into His Marvelous Light:
(1Pe 2:10) Which in time past were NOT a people, but are NOW the people of God: which had Not obtained mercy, but NOW have obtained mercy.

*** (Titus 2:14) He [Christ] gave Himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be His Special People who are enthusiastic about good works.

*** (John 8:12) Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall NOT walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life.

“What is the… ‘Church’ – 101” …Blog.  [1/2]
…
We have settled the ‘Issue’ of… “Man Made Denominations” and that of the Real Church: is those “Only Born Again” [Romans 8:9], by His Holy Spirit! What about those ‘Claiming’ to be… “Apostolic Church & Ministries”…? The NT term translated into the English Bible… “Apostles”… is simply “Sent Ones!” Did You know the Scriptures call Christ Jesus: the “Apostle”…? But how many did Christ Jesus call as… “Apostles”…? Only Twelve [12] and one was Judas who committed ‘Suicide!’ He was replaced by Paul, as verified in many of the NT books, “Called an Apostle, Not of men, but of God!” So the actual office of NT Apostle, “Called Directly by Christ Jesus”, was “Only Twelve” [12]! Please answer this question…? “Are there an Bible verses in the NT to determine… “Who is an Apostle”…? What about Bible verses for making… “Replacement Apostles”…? Oh yes, You will surely say to me, What about the Vote in… “Acts 1:20-to-26”…? The NT Jerusalem believers… “Violated” the Holy Word of God… and did “NOT OBEY”… “Acts 1:5-to-9”…? How could such “Church Business” be performed BEFORE: the Holy Spirit was Given… “Acts 2:1-to-5”…? Please tell me HOW…?

*** (Hebrews 3:1) Therefore, holy brothers, called to be partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

*** (Matthew 19:28) And Jesus said to them, Truly I [Jesus] say to you that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, = you = also shall sit on = Twelve [12] thrones, = judging = the twelve tribes of Israel.
…
Sorry… “NO”… NT Apostles –  “Paul” was the LAST!

The 12th Apostle - 101 Blog

What now, that we have settled the issue of… “True Apostles”… limited to Twelve [12]…? Are there “False Apostles & False Prophets” in the Churches today..? But of course, as there were them, in Jesus’ day and afterwards. Today, there are More False Preachers… than “Real Ones!” When one tells You they are involved in an “Apostolic Ministry”… simply count them as “False!” Here is an example of such a… “False Apostolic Ministry”…!

*** (2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are False Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves - into the Apostles of Christ.
(2Cor 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an –> ANGEL of LIGHT?
(2Cor 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works. [Ecclesiastes 12:13-14]


*** (2Peter 2:1-2) But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
(2Pet 2:2) And -> Many <- and="" b="" be="" because="" evil="" follow="" of.="" of="" pernicious="" spoken="" style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;" the="" their="" them="" truth:="" way="" ways="" will="">[John 7:17 & Jeremiah 23:29]

False Apostles Exposed

One last thing… are there ‘Instructions’ for Making: “New & Replacement Apostles” in the Scriptures…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”…?  Sorry NO, but there ‘Are’ FOR:  “Pastor/Teachers, Elders, Deacons & Bishops!” The NT is replete with these instructions, why NOT for Apostles…? “SIMPLY BECAUSE”… The foundation of the NT Church [Romans 8:9] is simply the “Finished Word of Redemption” [Ephesians 1:13-14] by Christ Jesus, the Passover Lamb of God! Those Truly Born Again by His Holy Spirit are the Church… and are to be “Matured & Taught”… by the Indwelling Holy Spirit using the Holy Word of God! Oh yes, that “Apostolic Succession” taught by that “False Catholic Church”… is simply: “Evidence Enough!

“Why does GOD allow: ‘False Teachers’? – 101” …Blog
…
*** (Mark 7:6-7-8) He [Jesus] told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written, 'These people honor me with their Lips: –> but their Hearts are far from Me [God].
(Mark 7:7) Their worship of Me is empty: –> because they teach human rules as doctrines.'
(Mark 7:8) You ‘abandon’ the commandment of God: –> and hold to ‘human’ tradition."

“Are You ‘WATERING?’ – 101” …Blog.




“Are You ‘WATERING?’ – 101” …Blog.

*** (1Corinthian 3:6) I [Paul] did the Planting, Apollos did the Watering, but God kept everything Growing to Harvest. [Philippians 1:6]

*** (Galatians 6:10) So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith. [Galatians 6:16]

*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and to walk humbly ‘with’ your God?
*** (Titus 2:11-to-15) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. [Psalms 98:2]
(Tit 2:12) It trains us to Renounce ungodly living and worldly passions SO that we might live Sensible, Honest, and Godly lives in the present world
(Tit 2:13) as we Wait for the blessed hope and the glorious Appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. [Zachariah 12:10]
(Tit 2:14) He [Christ] gave Himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be His Special People who are enthusiastic about good works.
(Tit 2:15) These are the things you should say. Encourage and Refute: with Full Authority. Do not let anyone look down on you.

What is “Full Time Christian Service”…? MOST miss that “Each & Every ONE”… who is Born Again by the Holy Spirit of God: IS IN… ‘Full Time Christian Service! As members of the Body of Christ, His ‘Called Out’ ONES: His Church & His Bride… we are what He has said in His Holy Word! This morning in my “Quiet Time”: where I meet with my Lord, in His Holy Word, Mark 1:35] I was reading in the Gospel of Matthew. One of my ‘Favorite’ chapters in that book is “Matthew 13:” Have You ever “Read & Studied” that particular text…? Did You know it speaks to the issue of “Evangelism”…? Perhaps if You have some time today, “Prayerfully” [2Chronicles 12:14 & Ezra 7:10] “Read & Examine” that chapter. Remember in sharing the Holy Word of God, it is “God” ALONE: Who knows… “Just Who”… those Other Sheep [John 10:17] really are! Those who are ‘Truly His’… bring forth a Harvest: “Some 100 an Hundredfold… Some 60… & Some 30”…!

*** (Matthew 13:18) [Christ Jesus said] "Listen, then, to the parable about the sower.
(Matt 13:19) When “Anyone” hears the Word about the kingdom yet doesn't understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
(Matt 13:20) As for what was sown on the stony ground, this is the person who hears the Word and accepts it at once with joy,
(Matt 13:21) but since he doesn't have any root in himself, he lasts for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, he immediately falls away.
(Matt 13:22) As for what was sown among the thorn bushes, this is the person who hears the Word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the Word so that it can't produce a crop.
(Matt 13:23) But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown."

*** (Matthew 13:12) For whoever has, to him shall be given; and he shall have more abundance. But whoever does not have; from him shall be taken away; even that which he has.

…
*** (2Corinthians 4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans 8:9] in earthen [our human bodies] vessels; that the excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and –> ‘NOT’ of us.

*** (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; IF the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if Anyone has NOT the Spirit of Christ; he is ‘NONE’ of His.

*** (John 6:44) No man can come to Me [Jesus], except the Father [God] which hath sent Me draw [Compel] him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (John 6:37) All that the Father [God] gives Me [Jesus]; shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me; I will in no way cast out.

*** (Act 15:8-9) God, Who knows everyone's Heart, showed them he Approved by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us. [Romans 8:9 & Ephesians 1:13-14]
(Act 15:9) He [God] made No distinction between: them and us [Jew & Gentile], because He Cleansed their hearts by Faith.

“What is ‘Salvation?’ – 101” …Blog.

Have You ever planted a garden or fruit trees…? Water is as important for ‘Plant Life’ as it is for ‘Human Life!’ Scientists have taken ‘cross cuts’ of some very old trees and revealed the evidence of ‘limited or stunted’ tree growth. There is identical evidence for good growth, based on the abundance of water. The NW USA has lots of forests, which are bathed in the moisture of that region. The life cycle of those trees are directly related to water. So as the Holy Word of God says, “Water is Life”, both in the ‘Physical & Spiritual’ life cycles. God has given may such “Word Pictures”… ONLY for those who are seeking His “Wisdom & Understanding”…!

*** (John 7:38) The one who believes in Me [Jesus], as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now He said this about the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who were believing in Him were to receive. For the Spirit was Not yet present, because Jesus had Not yet been glorified. [Luke 24:49 & Acts 2:1-to-5]

*** (Psalms 1:1-to-6) Blessed is the man who has Not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has Not stood in the way of sinners, and has Not sat in the seat of the scornful.
(Psa 1:2) But his delight is Only in the Law of the LORD Jehovah; and in His Law [Word] he meditates day and night. [Psalms 19:7-to-11 & 119:97-to-140]
(Psa 1:3) And he shall be like a Tree planted by the Rivulets of Water that brings forth its Fruit in its Seasons, and its Leaf shall Not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.
(Psa 1:4) The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
(Psa 1:5) Therefore the ungodly shall Not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(Psa 1:6) For the LORD Jehovah knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

*** (Mark 8:23-24) And He [Jesus] took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spat on his eyes and had put His hands on him, He asked Him if he saw anything.
(Mark 8:24) And he looked up and said, I see men as trees, walking.

*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

*** (Ephesians 5:26) that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,

*** (John 15:1-to-5) I [Jesus] am the True Vine, and My Father [God] is the Vinedresser.
(John 15:2) Every branch in Me that does Not bear fruit, He takes Away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit.
(John 15:3) Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you.
(John 15:4) Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch Cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
(John 15:5) I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Do You have the Free Bible Software…? www.e-sword.net I use it to copy & paste Bible verses into these blogs. But I also use to do… “Word Studies”… in my Bible. It is downloaded to my computer; and I can use it off line. If You will take the ‘time & effort’, You may find some of the Wisdom of God in His Holy Word! Unless You are feeding yourself on His Holy Word… You will “NOT: Grow Spiritually”…! It has been my practice for some 35+ years to rise one hour early and meet with Him, in His Holy Word! Even when I was working, “8-10-12+ hour days!” Remember He will Only use those who are prepared and willing to be His Servant…! Oh yes, sometimes He uses an “Ass” as He did with Balaam’s donkey! [2Peter 2:15-16]

*** (2Corinthains 13:5) Examine yourselves; whether you are in the Faith; Prove your own selves. Do you Not know your own selves; that Jesus Christ is in you [Romans 8:9]; unless you are Reprobates?

*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you; when you shall have done “All” the things “Commanded” you, say; We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was [only] Our = ‘DUTY’ To Do.

*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I [Isaiah] heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for “US?” [Genesis 1:26]  Then I said: –> Here am I: –> send me!

“Reasonable Service – 101” …Blog.
…
*** (Romans 12:1-to-4) I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship.
(Rom 12:2) “Do Not” be conformed to this world; but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is -> what is proper, pleasing, and perfect. [2Corinthains 10:3-to-6]
(Rom 12:3) For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you ‘Not’ to think of yourself more highly than you should think; rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body; but these parts do ‘Not’ all have the same function [office].
