so if a denomination holds the same Gospel but different doctrine you should brand them as "of satan" ???
then you should be an "equal opportunity attacker" for no two denominations hold the same doctrines ..
perhaps you missed what Jesus said about those who "did not follow the same" .. "leave them alone" .. and what makes you think the doctrine you hold is correctly interpreted ???
I concur ..
and I have NEVER found a REAL Catholic who did not embrace the Gospel ..
the Gospel is simple ..Love God with your ALL (which includes repentance and obedience) and treating others as you would yourself ..
what about Protestants who ordain gay ministers ???
is that obedience ??? .. what say ye ???
Beloved, I do not brand anyone as "satan" if they "holds the same Gospel but different doctrine". It's when
both their gospel and doctrine do not follow that of the apostles and prophets of the Lord that gets my attention.
The scriptures teach that it is the gospel that saves; it is apostolic doctrine that keeps us from erring from the gospel that saves!
Now, Do you really believe I "missed" the disciple that did not follow (was with) Jesus and his disciples? He was
not teaching a different doctrine: in fact, he was casting out devils in the Lord's NAME!
That, Beloved, was not a different doctrine because it was done in the Lord's
NAME. Can a catholic cast out devils? Or a Methodist? Or a Baptist? Of course! but it will not profit
anyone if it is not done in the Lord's NAME.
"What if it's done in the
name of the church, congregation, denomination, etc.?" Then the Lord will not get the glory, but they will be glorifying the
name in which the devil was cast out.
"You mean that the devil will obey
that name?" Yes...if it belongs to a higher demon!
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against (1) principalities,(2) against powers,(3) against the rulers of the darkness...(4) against spiritual wickedness...". So demons in the domain of the spiritual wickedness will accede to those in high places, etc. But they must
all obey the
NAME "...that is above every name that is named..."!
"gay ministers?": What do the scriptures say?
