No, on Sundays we're sweet and syrupy. We leave bitterness for the work week.

Fact does not elicit bitterness. Being lied to and led falsely does.....maybe the truth of facts has led many to the revelation that it is not man's build-up doctrine that is "truth, " but that it is God's Word which is.
are not going to make it into heaven......sorry. The Bible does not say that they will. Being "good" is not good enough for God to enter His eternal kingdom.
Sorry to be blunt.
Being perfect and without sin is the only acceptable method.
No one is perfect.
But, Jesus is.
It is only by Jesus' spirit indwelling us that will make us perfect enough for God.
Faith in that is your vehicle that will lead you to God's Grace which will make you "good" enough.
Christ is the only WAY, TRUTH and LIFE.
Only Christ.
Nothing else.

They are known by many names....have your pick!
The Go-Preachers The Jesus Way Cooneyites Christian Convention or Christian Convention Church The Truth The Way The Friends Two-by-Twos The No-Name Church The Workers United Christian Conventions of Australia United Christian Conventions of New Zealand The Testimony of Jesus (England) Assemblies of Christians (Canada) The Nameless House Sect The Nameless House Church The Pilgrims The Tramps or The Tramp Preachers The New Testament Church The Irvinites The No Secters The Faith Missioners The Dippers The Damnation Army The Carrollites The Secret Sect Die Namenlosen Les Anonymes Reidites The Black Stockings or the Black Sox The Church Without a Name The Non-denominational Church The Testimony The Roving Preachers White Mice Bunheads The Fellowship
I can just say FORGET it!!! Because what shall I be called or what name shall I have to be a christian? Nobody need a name to be a christian. What name did Abraham have? What name did Jesus have? What name did those who followed Jesus have? What name did Paul and Silas have? etc, etc. Did they have any name? Nope. We don't need to have any name, but we need to be christian or walk in the thruth. All these religious directions is just the Devils manipulation. He puts a right name in a false system, that God has never planned. Amen. ;D

Dear Pray Hard, what will happen to "good hearted folks" then?
I guess all I really wanted to accomplish by adding to this blog is a representation of my love for the friends, workers, and no shows. I really didn't expect any feed back concerning who might and could, or should be saved, or who wants to be saved for that matter. All I hoped posting my message was some positive feedback from the fellowship!
I recently prayed before bed which i haven't done for a while. I prayed that god would PLEASE show me something that would soften my heart and re-group my attention by his grace. If you read my first message you would know that I was contacted a day earlier by a brother worker whom i have known my whole life. I was ESTATIC. I don't know exactly how this example of timing plays into my life! What I do know is that I asked for guidence in humiliation, and he answered me. My love for the truth has been awakened, and I really look forward to finding out more.....................

It would be SO nice IF people would use the same name each time they post. It's hard to distinguish who is saying what. I don't care that they use their real name...you see that I am not. I just think consistency is the key. To the person who said they had not been attending meeting: you DO realize, don't you, that all the while you were NOT attending meeting the workers (and friends) would have considered you LOST regardless of what you yourself felt, regardless of your "soft heart." Their doctrine is---- obedience to the workers, submit, blindly follow, attend every meeting possible.

I hope your love for the truth is Christ and not a fellowship. Meetings and the workers are not "truth." Just be aware of that.
Jesus is truth and the only truth. He is the absolute truth for there is nothing else to hang hope on. Not flesh, not method, not philosophy. Only Christ. Phl 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
To LIVE is Christ. Only Christ.

To LIVE IS TO FOLLOW CHRIST ! ONLY CHRIST. TO DIE, IS TO ONESELF.
