Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after
Christ. For in Him[Christ] dwelleth ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:8-9
The bible tells the churches to "hear what the spirit is saying to the churches." The Spirit is calling all who love Our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity to "Come out of her my people." It is time for the true followers of Jesus Chris, not only to stand up and be counted, but to come out of the false, religious systems of men. The church that Jesus is building isn't an instituition or organization, rather a living organiism -the body of Christ. Thanks be to God that when the power of darkness does succeed for a time in restricting freedom on planet earth, that there will still be those whom the Lord has called out of darkness and into His marvelous light! There is to be one church(people) per city, town or village. There is no example in the New Testament of a solo pastor/priest, but rather the "priesthood of believers" who together "with" elders and deacons serve One Lord -Jesus Christ. Thank God for His glorious pattern and plan that we can see manifested in our lives in this generation!
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.Joshua 24:15
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee thekeysof the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.Matthew 16:18,19
ThenPeter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Nameof Jesus Christ and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation." Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.Acts 2:38-42
One Lord, one faith, one baptism...Ephesians 4:5
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. Acts 5:42
Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Romans 16:5
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. Colossians 4:15
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: Philemon 1:2
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house...Acts 2:46
If you have obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ and are in search of the church that Jesus is building, so are we! If you want to help Him build it, so do we! You don't need a ministerial license, or membership in any organization. You are commanded by the LORD to come out of all of that! "Come out of her my people!"
There are no creeds, no hidden fees, but only your paid in full membership to belong to the One, true Church that Jesus bought with blood. If you are seeking not to belong to an organization, but to be a part of the organism -the living church of Our risen Lord, you are cordially invited to freely apply for membership and consider participating in a private forum with likeminded brothers and sisters at New Testament House Churches or a more public forum ApostolicsatHome.com
