The real church is nothing more - and nothing less – than what the Bible describes it to be!
The blue print of the real church is shown in the Book of Acts, and shown to us through the original Greek manuscripts of the Bible, when it defined the "church” by using the word "ἐκκλησία.” This word means "called out people.”
Why did God demand that his disciples be called out?
God demanded his disciples be called out then – and also now – because no one can be a member of the real church unless they have been called out of darkness (sin) and called into the light (holiness).
1 Peter 2:9 - But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
Just as their Master, the disciples walked in the light of the Word of God, which meant they obeyed:
(1) the call to come out of sin (2) the call to come out of false, organized religion (3) the call to practice personal holiness (4) the call to be the real church.
John 5:14 - Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more.
1 Thessalonians 4:7 - For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Ephesians 5:27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
• Approves of sin in the church • Accepts false religion, false spirits and false doctrines • Does not demand personal holiness • Says there is no holy church in this world
Consider the modern church and the real church in the Book of Acts – are they the same? NO!
How can determine whether or not we bear the traits of the real church or the false church? First let us examine the un-Biblical standards that the false church practices! These prove that the false church is directly opposite of Christ’s teaching when they FALSELY SAY-----> * Christian denominations are ok if they do not require obedience to the Bible’s teaching concerning a complete lifestyle of holiness *Christians are sinners & sinners are Christians * Live the best you can and you will go to heaven * All men sin * If you die in your sins you will still go to heaven * Sin will not separate you from God * Preachers can sin and still be used of God * Christian denominations are ok if they approve of sinning members * Christians can pray to Mary * Christian religions can use sorcery, witchcraft * Christian religions can use priests, bishops and pastors who are homosexual, pedophile child abusers or married but fornicating * You can have the Holy Spirit without living holy * You can be baptized in the Holy Ghost and still practice sin, adultery, lying, cursing and uncleanness of spirit as long as you can pray with tongues * You can have the Holy Spirit without having the fruit of the Spirit * No church is pure * The real church is not the one, visible Body of Christ but it is a sin practicing or sin allowing denomination * The true church can practice false doctrine * Mpango wa kando is ok*
Any individual, church or denomination who practices such is shouting very loudly that they are not the real church! Those who are not the real church are part of the false church.
For the real church to spring up again, we have to go back to the blueprint. We MUST be a "called out people.” The real church is never "called out” to "stay in” …… Are you called out or are you staying in?
If you wish to live holy and to be the real church and to follow the same doctrines & patterns as the church in the Book of Acts, then feel free to make contact at:
