Subject: Should "lost" people come to church? |
Bible Note: Hmmm... One should remember that the church "consists of the whole number of the elect (Hebrews 12:23) that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ, the head thereof (Colossians 1:18); and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:10, 22-23; 5:23, 27, 32)." Lost people are not "sin-sicked souls" (sic) but are dead (Colossians 2:13a), the object of God's wrath (Ephesians 2:3; Colossians 3:6) and are not of God (1 John 2:16). If we cannot Scripturally answer the question "What is the church?" then we will certainly arrive at the wrong conclusions regarding its place, purpose, and part. |
