CULT ACTIVITY INCREASE
In these last days cults are on the rise, Jesus warned us in the word that many would come in his name deceiving many. It is time to be aware.
If one goes into the water a sinner, they come up out of the water a sinner, water does not save, its believing the message that God sent his Son to die in our stead. Baptism in water is a work that does not save us, and will never merit us an entrance into heaven, it is only by believing and receiving the message and repenting of our sins and giving God the reins to our life. Period!
(1) To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins,
(2) which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life.
(3) Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.
(4) But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,
(5) caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--
(6) raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,
(7) in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.
(8) For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit--
(9) so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.
(10) For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.
(11) Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.
(12) At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.
(13) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.
(14) For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,
(15) by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,
(16) thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.
(17) So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;
(18) because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 2:1-18 WNT
Cults recruit Christians who don’t know the word of God and are unsure of their salvation, this is why it is so easy to for them to be wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing having a form of godliness, and quoting scripture out of the context they were written. Unfortunately those people in the Cults will one day stand in front of a White Throne and be told depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you. When it comes to Salvation it is Grace + Nothing, not Grace + Works like the so many Cults offer in their sales pitch for Salvation. Also they proclaim our denomination is the God’s chosen movement or denomination that has THE TRUTH. That’s a dead giveaway that the devil is in the details.
So when the wolves come calling with their pamphlets and teaching materials refuse to receive the devil’s handy work, instead read your bible and pray, then ask God to open your understanding. We are in a New Covenant with God if we receive the stipulations which are found in the word. Selah!
Shalom & Agape!
