Enough.  Enough!!

It is time  and past time, for the Church, the true universal Church to stand up and throw the bums out.

The fakes.
The unbelievers.
The wolves.
The charlatans.
The false teachers.

Both Jesus and Paul were unafraid to ‘hurt feelings’ and call out both false teaching and false teachers.  Paul even went so far as to name  specific people and, on his authority as an apostle,  order the church to shun them.

If you don’t believe in the triune God – Father, Son, and Spirit,  fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you don’t believe that the second person of the trinity came to earth as a baby,  lived,  taught,  was killed,  was buried, rose again, went back to the Father in glory,  and is coming again,  fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you don’t believe that Jesus is the way, the only unique way, to get to God,  fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you don’t believe that only those who accept and trust Christ in this life will be welcomed into His Presence, and that those who don’t will be cast out of His Presence, fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you don’t believe that the proof of your salvation is a life lived in trust and obedience to His Word in thought and in deed,  ethically, morally, and relationally, fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you redefine the words of scripture or explain away clear teaching to suit modern theories, fine, that’s your right. Just don’t call yourself a Christian, because you’re not.

If you’re a teacher or leader in the church and you teach contrary to Scripture and the historic teaching of the church, you are a false teacher. It matters not your pedigree or how many degrees you have,  you are a wolf.

It is time to clean house.

Starting with ourselves.
