1 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | Edd | 218670 | ||
Unless you were birth into the church from your mother’s canal; you were born a sinner in need of a savior. Somebody invited you to Christ’s church. Do unto others as you would have them to do... If you are saved, and I don’t know your relationship with Jesus, but do you think that God saved you for yourself. “And Jesus answering said unto them, they that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.” 1 Cor. 1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Eph. 1.22 The babes in Christ are in the Church/members body of Christ as well. |

2 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | fallen4shell | 218728 | ||
Edd, thank you for your response. Again, I feel quite misunderstood. I believe that BY ALL MEANS we should be proclaiming to the uttermost parts of the earth the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. I in no way meant to imply that we should neglect the "sick" or keep the salvation experience all to ourselves with no thought to those OUT THERE who desperately need him as well [though isn't that what we do alot...remain safe within our own four walls content with the mindset that "if they want christ they can come in here and get him"?]. Yes, I am in wholehearted agreement with your statement that "The babes in Christ are in the Church/members body of Christ as well." A "babe in Christ" is one who I would consider to have already been "born again" and therefore is indeed a Christian. In my opinion, when believers meet together for "church services" the focus should be on GROWING our own relationships with Christ and discipling those who are still babes so that they can eventually be fed with the MEAT that they need to be strong instead of expecting them to survive on MILK for the rest of their lives while we spend our time together with them focusing on someone ELSE [unbeliever] who may or may not have even come to the meeting of believers. |
