Many people have not understood what it takes to be a real Christian. To some to be a Christian is to be baptized with water. To others it is to change church. Many people profess to be Christians but are sinners. The Scripture rightly says,
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:16.

Many are blinded by the spirit of the last days. There are people who have replaced cardinal doctrines of the Scripture with lies, yet obedience to these doctrines is essential for heaven.

1 Timothy 4:15,16
15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

What shall the end be for those who have replaced the truth with lies? Some teach that if you are baptized with water you are born again. Unlearned and ignorant preachers wrest the word of God, twist and dilute it until it has no more effect on those that hear it. There are prosperity preachers who replace God with His blessings. They teach and stir people to receive the blessings of God but have nothing to tell them on how to please God and conform to the image of Christ. Because of material blessings, preachers prohibit their members from going to where they will learn the truth about God. They do not want them to listen to true preachers for fear that they may escape from their hands. Theology makes us understand that man cannot live above sin." That is their theology. But what saith the Scripture?

Luke 1:74-75
74. That he would grant us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

1 Peter 1:14-16
14. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16. Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

1 John 3:9.
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.


Christ imparts the Holiness of God into the believer and enables him to live in the new way of life. You cannot remain in sin if you are born again. A child of God does not lie, lust, steal, commit immorality. Eternal life, the life of God in him, is a life of holiness and righteousness. Many people have spotted the garment of righteousness given to them. Their garment is now spotted with worldliness, false doctrines, greed, pride etc. The Psalmist said,

"I have chosen the way of truth." Psalm 119:30

This means there is the way of error or falsehood. It takes determination in our day as ever to choose the way of Truth, Righteousness and Holiness. Many churches today are founded on distorted scriptures. Through false interpretations of scriptures, their preachers and teachers replace Christ's truth with lies, to their destruction and the destruction of those that hear them. Except they repent and return to the truth they are on their way to eternal damnation, as declared by apostle Peter:

15. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scripture, unto their own destruction.
17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen."
2 Peter 3:15-18.

If in the days of apostle Peter there were false preachers, how much more in our day? We must be warned against false doctrines and false teachers. God who is not willing that any one should perish, but that all should come unto the knowledge of the truth, has shined on His truths in the Bible and man cannot stop or change it.

"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
Acts 5:29.

Good questions for Christians. You and many pastors in church make only one mistake: they do not teach the church of bible.they take pieces of the Bible that they want,the rest is left unattended.Another problem.If you say the world for church say that your personal testimonies.If you do not have a personal testimony do not say anything.Read and meditate on what it says in the bible with church.

There are 2 types of Christian. The 1st one is the Spirit lead Christian. They listen for the spirit of the Lord to guide them in every area of their life. They will be open to correction in their lives.
The 2nd is the Unspirited Christian they believe in Christ but they keep doing whatever they want with their lives. They live in the world and have chaos in their lives.
It's just knowing who you are in Christ.
