Genuine faith in the Lord!

A. Main Scriptures for this study:

1. For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.Eph.1:15

2. Because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. Philem.1:5

3. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are:

    Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.1Jn.3:10

4. If anyone says: I love God, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother,

    whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 1Jn.4:20

B. Love binds them all together in perfect unity! Col.3:12-15

1. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,

3. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 13:6

4. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. 13:7-8

D. Denomination distorts these scriptures to their own destruction! Matt.18:15-20,  2 Peter 3:16

1. If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you.

    If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. Matt.18:15

2. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along,

    so that  `every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' 18:16

3. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church;

    and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. 18:17

4. I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,

    and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 18:18

5. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,

    it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 18:19

6. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. Matt.18:20

***Matt.18:15-20 is for settle sin against brothers!  Not an excuse to destroy unity of the one body!

E. Apostle Paul put it bluntly in simple words! Titus 3:10-11

1. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time.

    After that, have nothing to do with him. Titus 3:10

2. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. Titus 3:11

3. How can denomination people be so dumb!

    All Satan did was hid the word denomination under the word divisive here!

4. In a children play calls hide and find!  A child hides behind his father!

    How hard for the other little child to find him!  So easy!  Denomination can’t discover this!?

5. But this word denomination had hid under divisive and factious for 1500 years!

    Now that I found it and share it so often!  But denomination people still ignore it!

6. If you study my lesson here from A-D carefully. You know it is all about their faith in the Lord is fake!

7. At the beginning the Lord added the saved into the church of Christ! Acts 2:47

    All Jesus’ believers attend this one church!  Where and how non-church of Christ started!?

    Someone rebelled against God’s teaching and against their own parents’ example!

8. The day they decided to start a small group meeting as a not church of Christ expose their faith is fake!

F. Do you care what Apostle Paul wrote? 1 Cor.1:10

1. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another let

    there be no denomination among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1Cor.1:10

2. Please think!  What kind of people can ignore this kind of appeal!! 

    Naturally!  Have to be fake believers or Satan’s disciples!!!

May the Lord is full of compassion and mercy to you!  Preach this February 10, 2019.
