Should Unbelievers be Comfortable in the Church?

@josephmaniglia1762 7 ай бұрын

I love that final statement "Go to a church the prioritizes being a biblical church". Thank you brother Costi for standing on the Word of God. 🙏✝️

@lindakerr9251 7 ай бұрын

we should never apologize for the truth of Gods word. Church is NOT suppose to be comfortable it’s purpose is to tell people they are sinners & need salvation that is the bad news we need to face that fact & the good news is Christ is the answer. If u’r church is making you comfortable by tickling u’r ears you need to get out & find a church that is going to tell you the truth…that all have sinned & fallen short of Gods glory & need to be saved🙏✝️

People should always feel welcome and wanted in the church, but not necessarily comfortable. Even as a believer and church member, I'm sometimes uncomfortable. Two weeks ago my pastor told us to pray for our worst enemy to be saved and start attending church in the pew next to us. It was an extremely stressful rebuke, but one I needed to hear. The Refiner's fire isn't always pleasant, and praise God for that! His ways are good, even when they're uncomfortable.

Continuationism is Biblical. -People doing miracles who are not apostles proof-Luke 9:49-50, mark 9:38-41, Acts 6:8, Acts 8:6, Acts 10:45, Zecharias filled with SPIRIT prophesied in Luke 1:67 ... 5 examples. - paul said that you lack no gift until the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:7) - Peter said in Acts 2:16-21 in the end days God will pour His Spirit on His people and they will all prophecy, see visions and dreams, sun will turn dark, and moon into blood until the coming of the Day of the Lord. ((Notice how the ends days begins during acts 2 and is still going on because the Day of the Lord has not returned which also means God is still pouring out His people so they can prophecy, see dreams and visions.)) -Paul in 1 Corinthians 1 is speaking to all Christian (1Cori 1:2). And he also says that you DO NOT LACK ANY SPIRITUAL GIFT UNTIL THE DAY OF THE LORD.(1Cori 1:7-8). -Pray in SPIRIT Jude 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit Ephesians 6:18 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit Ephesians 5:18 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit In acts 2:4, 4:31, 10:46 when they were filled with SPIRIT they spoke in Tongues. -"Unknown tongues" accusations from cessationist debunked" - 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:28 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. -And remember paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:2 "though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains" notice how paul says "I have all Faith" not all "Gifts of Holy Spirit''. -Ephesians 4:11 "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers". Now if there still are Evangelists, Pastors, teachers, there also must be Apostles and Prophets. -Bible says not to neglect Gifts that is in us 1 Timothy 4:14. Bible says keeping using the Gift of Holy Spirit like a small flame that grows into fire. -There is difference between Apostles and miracles doers( Apostles do perform miracles as well) - 1 Corinthians 12:28 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.( As you can see first are Apostle and around 4th are people with Gifts of Holy Spirit, you don't have to be Apostle to do miracles). Futher proof, John 14:12 12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. Mark 16:17-18 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 11:23-24 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. James 5:14-15 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.( Notice prayer of Faith will heal the sick, not pray of Apostle) -Now my main argument ,if the New Testament says not to commit adultery and I say commit adultery then what will you call me? A heritic right, because I'm going against the New Testament. Same way the New Testament says do not forbid speaking in tongues(1 Corinthians 14:39) , not to despise prophecies (1 Thessalonians 5:20), desire Spiritual gifts(1 Corinthians 14:1), Lord Jesus Himself said that these signs will follow them that believe (mark 16:17-18),and you(cessationists) FORBID speaking in tongues, you(cessationists) despise prophecies, and you(cessationists) insult those who desire Spiritual gifts which means you(cessationists) are going against New Testament and Apostles and most importantly you are going against Lord Jesus Himself which concludes you(cessationists) are heritics. _________________________ The same Jesus which said "father take this cup away" is the same Jesus who said "ask anything in my name and I'll do it", is the same Jesus who said "if you have faith of a Mustard Seed, you can move mountains", is the same Jesus who said "23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. . Is the same Jesus who said "the thing that I did greater than these you'll do" is the same Jesus who said "17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”. Same Jesus who said," if you leave wealth, wife , family, in this life will get 100 folds back in the same life(mark 10:29-30)". Same Jesus who said "all things are POSSIBLE with God",. Same Jesus who said "nothing will be impossible for you(Matthew 17:20)". I hope you get the point One more thing in Isaiah 53 with forgiveness, healing is also given. And if you think that only forgiveness is given then you are wrong. Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Hello Costi. Thanks for sharing. I was involved in a discussion with someone who said Jesus did not condemn anyone during his earthly ministry but showed love and taught people how to live. Hence, the little emphasis on condemnation and judgement in some church services. Please, can you share your thoughts on this?

Colossians 4:4 - that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak. Acts 20:27 - For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. Acts 2:37-38 - ...they were pierced to the heart ... “Brethren, what shall we do?”... The Word of God divides. God´s sheep will feel convicted - the devils goats will feel offended. May God let us speak how we ought to speak - firm in truth and in love

It’s Insanity… If people never read anything else, once Jesus said this to the Father “you are the one true God” (John 17:3), and that God has given him life (John 5:26), it is insanity to continue saying Jesus is God. You are willfully going against God and His Son. There is no random verse that says Jesus is God in scripture, including John 1:1, Hebrews 1:8, Isaiah 9:6, John 10:30, John 14:19, etc. To go against His word is a waste of life, and Jesus told us what eternal life is: it is to know them both. Swallow your pride in the eyes of God, because in Hell you can swallow nothing.

Isn't this guy a reformed person? According to calvinism if someone is saved they never had a choice which is why they call it irresistable grace, so what's all this about responding with 2 different responses?

@@alakazoom87 Since he starts it with - 'I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 9:1-5, KJV)'. It's clearly about Israel's rejection of Jesus and the gospel going to the gentiles, and the fact that God owes jewish people nothing based on their flesh, and will still have a people in the gentiles. God told Israel in Jeremiah 18 (which Paul quotes about the potter) that if they reject Him He will still have a people. It's not about some lottery God has that you are lucky if you win.
