~  the false church(s) ~

 “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which  have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they  are a rebellious house.”

 “Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and  remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another  place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a  rebellious house.”  EZEKIEL 12.2

"For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God."-1peter 4:17

This is the last church age, the Laodicean church age, REV 3.14 . It is neither hot nor cold but lukewarm. Now is the great falling away before Jesus comes. 2 THES 2:3 . God will not allow us to do what was allowed in the previous ages.  Judgement has come on the lukewarm and compromised.  Because They do not obey God. They are being drawn away into delusions and wickedness.  They believe they are saved when they are not.

God sees only THREE GROUPS on earth. The HEATHEN, the WICKED and the RIGHTEOUS . .

1. The Heathen do not claim to be Christian.

2. The Wicked claim to be Christian but are not. They are not doing as God commanded. PSALM 1 .

3. The Righteous, is the Bride of Christ, the one true Church which is those who have been saved, washed in the blood of the Lamb and meet all the following tests. Only the righteous will be saved from the coming judgement.  ALL others are lost.
 

The true Church is joined automatically when you receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Joining another church says that God's true Church is not good enough. This is  abomination,  fornication,  and wickedness.   However, if you did this, His forgiveness is certainly available if you repent and turn from it.
 

Here are the tests of the church:  (more explaination below.)

1.  Love..... Mark 12:30
2. Child-like faith.....Mark 10:15
3. Righteousness....Mat 6.33
4. Holy Spirit Controlled.... Mat17
5. Separated... 2COR 6.14
6. No other name.... Acts 4.12
7. No division.... 1COR 1:13
8. Persecution.... 2 TIM 3:12-17

Today is your day of salvation.  (please click on underlined link)
GOD'S ONE AND ONLY PLAN OF SALVATION .  There is none other given. Sorry, it's not my idea. It is God's. This is of most importance. Read even if you "think" you are okay with God.. Don't take chances and end up wrong.
Be sure your salvation is in accord with the word of God....
Do not play around and lose it all because of what a man or church told you. Check out for yourself what God's word says. Many have been deceived and will be lost thinking that they are right.

THE EIGHT TESTS OF THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH OF THESE  LAST DAYS

1.  LOVE TEST

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shaltlove thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:29-31

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35

2. CHILD-LIKE TEST
"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.   But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Mark10.13-15

Jesus Christ is the head of the church. We do not need another head, or a foot or nose that wants to be  head. The leaders Jesus talks about are those who serve like he did. So often we think we know something and should be exalted above the rest. That is no good.

Let no man call you father, reverend; those are for God alone. Brother is better. Also, teachers, pastors, prophets, and evangelists are scriptural. However, these are gifts operating by the Spirit.

However, many of these will fall or have fallen already and they are operating in flesh and not the spirit. Beware of the leaven that puffeth up. "And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Mat 15.14.

True ministers follow Jesus and SERVE as Jesus served. They do not dictate as world leaders do.
 

3. Righteousness Test

Holiness and Separated from the World is not optional, but required . The Laws of God are kept not for salvation but because of love for God and the Church's appearance does not conform to the world's ideas, but to God's words. Its actions honor God and each other. The Sabbath is kept as God commanded. God no longer tolerates compromised lukewarm Christianity. Judgement has now come upon such. Repentance and cleaning is necessary today. It is Wickedness that says "Come to Christ as you are" and not repent and change.

Our hearts are very wicked and deceitful, deceiving ourselves. We think we have such righteous motives and ideas, however when He deals with us he shows us that they are just filthy rags. Only God can reveal to us the true nature within us and then cleanse us of our unrighteousness. Only as we surrender totally to him can these things be revealed and cleansed.

"Be ye holy ; for I am holy."   1peter 1:16
"Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am  the LORD your God."... Levi 20:7

"But  seek   ye   first  the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ".....MAT 6.33
 

4. Holy Spirit Controlled....Mat 17.1

When Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the mountain, Peter was ready to build three churches right there, but God said "NO." Organization grieves the Spirit of God and is wickedness and unrighteous.
The Church is not organized. It can never be. It can not be seen with eyes or touched with hands. "It is not meat or drink but is peace, love and joy in the Holy Ghost." Rom 14:17

MAT 17:1 "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.  And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only."

5.  Separated Test

2COR6:14   Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness ?
 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

6. None other name test

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Jesus Christ."

"You must have a name," some say. But when you take a another name you have denied the Lord Jesus Christ who saved you.

The wicked who claim to be Christian but are not, seduce, condemn and persecute the righteous who walk in truth. We have a name that is above every name and we need no other.

ACTS 4:10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 IS 66.4 says God has chosen their delusions.

66:4 "I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not."
 

7.   NO DIVISION test.... 1COR1.10-13

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
 

No. He is not divided..

8.   Persecution Test

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."

Some would say that no church is perfect. Or the perfect church does not exist. However God's word does nor agree with that.  His Church does exist as it always has.  It is perfect, holy and righteous, without spot or wrinkle. If it is not perfect it is not His.  It is not in a building or organization but in the hearts of his children. "Whereever two or three  are gathered together in his name, He is in their midst."  He will not strive forever with those who insist in doing it their way and not his way. His patience and mercy will have an end.  We must do as he says quickly or will loose it all.  The end of all is near at hand and he will come for a perfect and ready bride.  May he bless you now and then.
