I believe some are in the faith "desiring the sincere milk of the word", but others are feigning belief in God. There are few, if any, scriptural reproofs or corrections for "the equipping of the saints" from anyone. Perhaps all are "babes in Christ" and can only receive "the milk of the word." Posts are only positive. No warnings to "flee idolatry"or "abstain from fornication" or " love not the world, neither the things of the world" or "God is not mocked: they that sow to their flesh shall of their flesh reap corruption" or clarifications of salvation like "if any man be in Christ he is a new creature. All things have passed away and behold all things have become new" or "he whom the Son sets free is free indeed" or "blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly" or "quench not the Spirit". There are popular expressions from professing Christians like "don't judge me" and "nobody's perfect" and "we are all sinners".
This is the common salvation many have received: Christianity without Christ. Forgiveness without repentance. Salvation without regeneration. The gospel without the Holy Ghost. Grace without holiness.
Is it any small wonder that many in the day of judgement shall call Jesus Lord who will turn to them and say, " Depart from me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you?" How many multitudes have been converted into another gospel! Just say this prayer and believe in your heart. Though it is deceitful and desperately wicked. "New wine must be put into new bottles".
EKKLESIA 209
