Fact ; There is only ONE church.
Fact ; When man organizes "his church" there is little room for the Holy Spirit.
Fact ; I am written in the Lamb's Book. I have no desire to "join" one a social club that carries the name "church".
Answer your challange , you say? I mean to "challenge" no one. I simply observe the overwhelming primary desire of so called "pastors" is to demonstrate "success" in their flesh. This translates to numbers. Obviously if there are more people attending ...then ... it must be "of god". (?) Constantine raised his royal arm and decreed all his realm and soldiers were to be Christian, did that make his domain "chirstian"? When all those people were suddenly converted from "heathens" some 1500 years ago did God suddenly log in everyone in the realm as "saved"? Constantine's decree was an act of the flesh.
God looks on the heart, it is spiritual, when the media reports that America has mega churches ...does that suddenly make people mega saved?
"part of that hereasy" ... What hereasy? I don't give a flip about hereasy... All the mighty men of GOD throughout history who put Jesus before "the so called church" were labeled heratics! I would hope our nation would have a revival of hereasy. Because before you get "REVIVED" you first have to be "VIVED" and 99 per cent of the mega churches are not VIVED yet! Membership in a megachurch counts for nothing in God's eyes. Peace with God is strictly one on one by the breath of Christ Jesus, not through pew sitting in a megachurch. And you speak of a "so called CORE" membership ... does this sound a bit elitest? Am I to assume we have regular members and then we have the real members? Based upon what criteria? Donations? Heavens are there degrees of salvation? Oh we have saved then we have the true spirit filled saved, don't you know? His Church is all Christian! All His members are Saved! They only have one "Pastor" ...
...{Furthermore, I'll wager that a rather large precentage of those members of the good old fashioned literguical creed-reading churches CAN'T answer your challange.}... This is my point exactly! I applaud hereasy, because the only man will judge an heratic, God comforts those who must live their faith against the oppression of man's worldy "churches" .
The church I'm a member of has members reaching back to Moses, David, Stephen and Saul of Tarsus. When you get spiritualized then you will get your Spiritual Eyes!

Well, that was certianly the most incoherent rant I've seen in a long time.

You want to scream about it be my guest. I'm not up for that sort of thing but knock yourself out.
