many deny the power of Christ because they are carnally minded.

These are serious and perilous times. I notice the younger generation of pastors have a flippant attitude towards the wrath of God which abides on those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. We, ie the elect, know “the Spirit says expressly, that in the latter days some shall depart from the faith - giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils - having their consciences seared as with an hot iron.” Not many are saved from the wrath that is to come. A very small remnant remains faithful to the end because many no longer can endure the strong meat of righteousness - the doctrine of Christ that preaches repentance for remission of sins and the time of refreshing from the Holy Ghost.

Indeed, many deny the power of Christ because they are carnally minded.
They wrest the hard sayings of Christ and walk no more in fellowship. These be they who separate themselves, having not the Spirit.

The “great gulf fixed” is between the pew and the pulpit where the image of jealousy appears as pastors ordained by men, comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. Having a form of godliness while denying the power of Christ - they do always resist the Holy Ghost - stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart.
