1 | Does this mean they do not go to heaven? | Rom 8:9 | EdB | 132002 | ||
Angel I agree with much of what you say. Let me add that much of the fault lies at the feet of those that have been or are in church leadership. Most focus on church building or expansion or at the very least maintaining what they have. Few if any give any consideration to ... the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, Eph 4:12 (NKJV) Further more I could not agree with you more the division of the church into the various denominations and "what I think is right" has seriously hurt the church.

"Most focus on church building or expansion or at the very least maintaining what they have." You are so right! I've heard people using financial status as a tool to bring in the "converts." They would speak on how costly their building (though they refer to it as church) was (always in the millions); how much money was put into the orchestra-like music ministry, how their congegation is comprised of so many doctors, lawyers and other professinals; how in x amount of months they have acquire even more real estate to build an even bigger building or sister church; how they have x amount of converts from this group or that group... It seems that that old American bug, "the Jones's," has been caught even by Christians! It appears that Paul's arguments about the unity and edification of the Body of Christ fall under some Bermuda Triangle mindset that allows some to filter out any actual obligations to obey Scripture! No wonder Christ challenged: ...But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?' (Luke 18:8) I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten us and bring us back to the Truth! God Bless!
