They also think Christ is going to come and rule for a thousand years, therefore making his first visit and abject failure to establish his kingdom and divine authority over the entire world and universe.
Many are is direct conflict with scripture, or are fulfilling what it prophesizes, such as: "This people honors me only with lip-service, while their hearts are far from me. The worship they offer me is worthless; the doctrines they teach are only human regulations." (Matt.15:8-9).
Jesus commanded us to test all ministers by their fruits.
He has instructed that we compare every theological tenant we are asked to believe against the commandments of the Gospel He preached.
Therefore we have been empowered by none other than God, Himself, to draw our own conclusions and to disbelieve the teaching of any minster that tries to lead us astray.
Jesus did not do away with ministers because without them there could be no baptism and no spread of the faith. But He made their authority subservient to the Gospel.
In the process, He took away their teaching credentials -- because now there is only one teacher- his Gospel. Jesus made two things abundantly clear: First, obedience to the Gospel comes before anything or anybody. And second, there is no salvation in the Law (i.e., there is no salvation in theology). The ministers can baptize us, but their philosophies cannot save us.
Seems there are several now that believe themselves more firmly connected to the mind of God than any others, and even a GW ‘believer’ joins the fray.
