If I was to take out-of-context Scripture to 'prove' that Baptism and Obedience are not necessary for Salvation, and I can do whatever I please, under 'grace' I would use this passage:

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

However finishing that little passage addressed to the Saints in Ephesus:

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" Ephesians 2:10

If I was a bit more studious I would also know that Paul's letter to Ephesus was addressed to brethren on the same spiritual level as Paul and he talks to them as equals (in the Spirit) and they follow the faith (teachings) of Jesus Christ. There are also no specific concerns that need to be addressed and there is no need for a special introductory greeting in order to stroke their carnal ego so they will pay attention to His letter (like there was for Corinth, Galatia...etc Ephesians 1:1-2). Of one mind, the mind of Christ.

It's spiritually fatal to take out-of-context Scripture and liberally apply it universally to all people, as Peter and Timothy graciously remind us. For some, ignorance is their god. For other's it's worldly wisdom. Either way, teachers should definitely at least understand the intricate relationship of Old covenant law throughout the New covenant exhortations. Not many should be teachers, but there are many ignorant and unstable, teachers of a religion, that isn't the Gospel Truth! (James 3:1-12).

"Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him, without spot or blemish. Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him. He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard not to be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." 2 Peter 3:14-18

"Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. But avoid irreverent and empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness, and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal:

“The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use. So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work. Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling. And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing. He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will" 2 Timothy 2:15-26

Everyone wants salvation apart from Lordship. Christ's Lordship is Salvation.

Teaching the Word of God with man-made euphemisms is neither quick, nor is it powerful. Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

The Biblical five-fold ministry, as well as its brief antithesis (you could call it the 'anti-five fold ministry'
1f605.png
). I hear it's easier to spot a counterfeit 100$ bill when you know what the authentic 100$ looks like. This applies to most everything of a similar concept. Discerning of spirits is a vast subject, and no one teaches on it, for some reason unknown (To be 'loving'?). Perhaps I make a detailed video. Good intentions and pure motives are one thing, Scriptural accuracy is another.

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." Ephesians 4:11-16 (NKJV)

"That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
There is no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after" Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 (NKJV) Warnings from Israel's Past 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 (NKJV).

False prophets rely on personal experience and deception of their own hearts, rather than on God's Word. Jeremiah 23:9-40 (NKJV)

Irresponsible Pastor's/Shepherds feed themselves and lead God's flock away from the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Ezekiel 34 (NKJV)

False Teachers deceive people back into the bondage of sin and lawlessness, rather than freedom unto righteous living in Christ. Galatians 5 (NKJV) and 2 Peter 2 (NKJV)

False apostles propagate a false christ, false spirit, and false gospel, that appears righteous. 2 Corinthians 11:1-15 (NKJV)

False evangelist's don't believe in the Great Commission of signs, due to a hardness of heart. Matthew 28:16-20 (NKJV) and Mark 16:14-18 (NKJV) (bit of a spoof, but I'm OCD about completeness and it's not false, Scripturally speaking).

I believe if people had knowledge of what the Bible teaches, and how it defines certain Bible terms that man uses every day via intellectual negligence, they would have a greater tolerance and openness to listen to more abrasive and 'unloving' messages. There needs to be a basic understanding of Bible Scriptures objectively explaining themselves, rather than man explaining bible, before many people will even consider (let alone accept) any absurd or scandalous sounding messages, that neither agree nor harmonize with personalized subjective theology.

"In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

But they also have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.

“Whom will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”

For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
To whom He said, “This is the rest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.
But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught." Isaiah 28:5-13 (NKJV)

Teaching on "Judging" and "Judgement" in the Ecclesia (The Global Church Body of Christ), the Bible Way. Clearing up some misnomers on 'don't judge', don't be mad.
1f643.png
What does the BIBLE TEACH about JUDGING?
1f607.png


(Some Apostolic Churches around the world are already operating at this level of Kingdom Protocol). You doubt?
1f607.png


"He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD." Proverbs 17:15

"Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

But He said to him, “MAN, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

“So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:13-21 (NKJV)

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:1-11

The Spirit God gave the Body of Christ (2 Timothy 1:7) makes lesser spirits (demons/flesh) uncomfortable, but is comfortable, for those of the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:12). The voice is not anger..it is zeal/spiritual fervor. Please do not mix up a voice of human anger, with one of spiritual fervor/zeal (John 2:12-25 Jesus Christ flips tables).

If you have ever heard Dan Mohler or Todd White (or anyone Spirit-filled) preach a message of conviction that behooves the quickening power of the Spirit (John 16:5-16), you would know what I mean. The voice of conviction! Even everyday talking can make nearby demons/flesh uncomfortable...some revelation is only fully understood by experience and DOING the Word.

"While so engaged, as I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and commission and full power of the chief priests, at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven surpassing the brightness of the sun, shining all around me and those who were traveling with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice in the Hebrew dialect (Jewish Aramaic) saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick [repeatedly] against the goads [offering pointless resistance].’ And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. Get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you [to serve] as a minister and as a witness [to testify, with authority,] not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you, [choosing you for Myself and] rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their [spiritual] eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness and release from their sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified (set apart, made holy) by faith in Me.’" Acts 26:15-18 (AMP, KJV)

"The eye is the lamp of the body; so if your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive], your whole body will be full of light [benefiting from God’s precepts]. But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts]. So if the [very] light inside you [your inner self, your heart, your conscience] is darkness, how great and terrible is that darkness!

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord]." Matthew 6:22-24 (AMP, KJV)

There are many women 'teachers', not governed by the Word and Spirit of Truth. We don't see, because we don't study the Word through God's lens, oftentimes it's a human lens based on human ideologies and a human sense of righteousness. The theology degree and years of experience are worthless if it is anti-Christ and goes against the Word. Smh...people still judging by appearances and personal credentials. Even Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). The HALF-TRUTHS (LIES) are relentless...I'm not tickling any ears (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. " Romans 12:1-3

"Different types of leaders see things differently based on their grace paradigm. For instance,

Apostles see a Pattern. They build and rebuild according to the heavenly pattern.

Prophets see Purpose. They use words to align people and churches to divine purpose, making sure their purpose is to honor God and His covenant.

Evangelists see Passion. Their pursuit is for others to be passionately in love with Jesus and those who don't know Him yet.

Pastors see Peace. They want to make sure the church is at peace with one another and and is provided for.

Teachers see Principles. They want to make sure people are firmly grounded and discipled according to divine principles.

These types of leaders SEE through unique paradigms and SAY what they SEE so others can be equipped to DO what they are DISCIPLED to do.

Apostle Bo Salisbury
EPIC Leader"

Wow. This is very insightful. I was duped into this rabbit hole for a long time, and then God showed me how to set up healthy boundaries, and prevent the self-destructive tendencies that can come from begrudged selflessness. At least until it became natural (in Spirit). Introspection is beneficial, who knew? This is why I'm averse to the emotionalism (lovey-dovey) gospel. Very unstable teaching.

"But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

"We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up." Romans 15:1-2

This Apostle spearheads a ministry specializing in deliverance (casting out demons/demonology). This word really blessed me (this is from the Lord), I'm sharing it because I felt like it might bless someone who's had a spirit of heaviness about their calling/direction in the Body of Christ (but may be especially anointed/called for the ministry of deliverance).
