We are in a time where every Tom, Dick and Harry will gather their kind in a building/space and call it a church.
Witches will gather and call it church of witches!
Satanists will gather and call it church of satan!
Ogbanjes will gather and call it church of ogbanjes!
Lol, VERY VERY ABSURD!
Their ignorance and lack of originality stinks more than a skunk.
For your information, the Church is much more than a building. In the Bible, “church” doesn't refer to a building. It refers to a people—the people who have accepted and follow Jesus Christ as their Lord. Jesus Christ is The Head of The Church and The Church is the Body of Jesus Christ— that is, all of us who believe in Him and have accepted His gift of salvation, accepted and follow His teachings.
1 Corinthians 12: 27 says referring to us The Church/Christians
"All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it."
As the Body of Christ, we are called to be continually shaped to be more and more like Christ. This happens by consciously allowing the Word of God to guide and rule every facet of our lives, adhering to the teachings of Christ and by worshiping God, the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Becoming a member of the church means that you belong to Jesus Christ and that you belong to the people of God. The church is also called “the bride of Christ,” this signifies that the church is joined with Jesus Christ in a deep and intimate relationship and is bound to him by a covenant similar to the covenant of marriage.
Now let me ask all these "gatherings" calling themselves church of this and church of that some questions:
In that your whatever gathering, are you gathered onto the Lord Jesus Christ?
If no, you are not part of The Church.
In that your gathering, are you preaching salvation in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord Jesus Christ alone?
If no, you are not part of The Church.
Do you and your cohorts of darkness believe in the Trinity (that's if you even know what the Trinity is)?
If no, you are not part of The Church.
Do you and your cohorts of darkness believe in the person of the Holy Spirit?
If no, you are not part of The Church.
Christ is the life of The Church. It is in and through The Church that Christ encounters, calls, transforms, equips, and sends his people into the world. God uses The Church to introduce salvation to those who don’t know him, and to nurture the faith of believers. The Church is God’s instrument for reaching the unreached and saving the unsaved.
The good news is that anyone can be saved and truly become a part of The Church and one with Christ; all you need do is believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. After which, you join yourself to fellow believers in a "worship center" and worship God in spirit and in truth.
In conclusion, it's either you are a part of The Church with the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and Head or you are whatever else, you cannot be both because there's no middle ground. You can simply comment "I need Jesus" if you want to become a part of Him and His Church... Other than that, please let's stop abusing the word "Church".
God bless you.
