Seekers, most all pentecostal churches are in some kind of an organization, and in 1945 the UPC organized the church. Seekers ask yourself what is an organization. Let's see what the definition is. Websters Dictionary says that it is an administrative structure as a business or a political party. Note that before 1945 there was no organized church. The Lord, the Holy Ghost was the head of the church, the Lord was the one that led the church. They that were called of God to preach the gospel preached where ever they could get a crowd. They preached from tents, streets, and storefronts. I find no place in the word of God for organization. I have heard preachers say the church is big business. The business of the church is preaching the truth, souls filled with the Holy Ghost, and born again. Churches of today are politcal, the vote is king. The church is no longer led by the spirit of God. The devil deceived someone into thinking that organization was the will of God. NO, it was the lie of the devil. When you vote on the Leadership of the church that is political. That is just like the world politicians. Jesus Christ is the head of the church if it is his church, men are to be led by the spirit of God. The Lord didn't lead someone to organize the church. Seekers they were deceived again by the devil. The devil has divided the people that has received the truth, the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts Chapter 2 verses 37 through 39 Read
Matthew Chapter 12 verse 25: Jesus said unto them, every kindom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
Let us see their business...
You must join the organization to have fellowship and you must pay a fee to be in the organization. A card. There is no plae in God's word for anything like that, some of the preachers see the church is dying but they don't understand that organization was the lie of the devil. Just like the lie of the devil. Trinity.
Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 4: There is one body, and one spirit even as ye are called in one hope of your calling,
Ephesians Chapter 3 verses 14-15
verse 14: For this cause I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
verse 15: of whome the whole family in heaven and earth is named, not divided in heaven in organizations.
One people, seekers, I have heard this message that the organization is the ship and as long as you are in the ship you will be saved, but if you get out of the ship you will be lost. Seekers, if you are in the ship today, now is the time to jump ship to be saved and believe the truth.
Acts 27 verse 31 is where they got their message. Please Read.
Peter Chapter 3 verse 8: Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.
John Chapter 13 verses 34-35 A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
verse 35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another.
Seekers, to pay for fellowship is not the love of God.
John Chapter 15 verse 17: These things I command you that ye love one another.
2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 verse 3 -11 Read the falling away
verse 9: Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs, and lying wonders.
verse 10: Will all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
verse 11: and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
verse 12: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness, brothers and sister, hear this message, fall in love with Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour and fall out of love with organization.
All that I can see that organization can do for you is to cause you to be lost. Decieved. Think about it. Brothers and Sisters if all that believe the truth was one what could happen with the spirit of God leading the way, victory over the devil, souls born again, healing, devils cast out, rejoicing in the spirit. Seekers, if Jesus Christ is in the church the church is alive because of the truth. If you have received the gift of the Holy Ghost, then you will know light from darkness. (The truth shines) I have heard preachers that are in the organization say how much they love the organization, and what it can do for you, but I love the Lord because he died and shed his blood for my sins, that I may live and not die. With organization the devil has decieved the church with another lie of the devil. The church united in one people believing the truth of God's word, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not the gospel of men but the power of God's word that is in the truth, not lies. This message is for the called to come out of organization and be one. Let the light shine on organization and see what has caused the church to fall away. I saw the woman the church in the grave.
Amen
