Wow! Nice post.
The gathering of believer in the most precious faith in God & Jesus Christ should look like a bunch of sinners (tall ones, fat ones, skinny ones, loud ones, short ones, quiet ones, old ones, very old ones, young ones, teens, children of all ages, babies, nursing mothers, single mothers, fathers, dead-beat fathers, single fathers, dead-beat mothers, celibate males, celibate females, married couples of opposite genders, widows, widowers, biblically divorced folks, folks like you & I), who have come seeking God for grace & mercy, believing their sins can and are forgiven them by the majestic work the Lord Jesus did upon the cross, and are all gathered together, at various places worldwide, in harmony, and loving one another in holy love, for the purpose of:
a) singing praises, Psalms & spiritual songs to God Almighty
b) prayer & supplication for God's will to be known
c) remembering the Lord's table (the bread & the wine as symbols of His body & His blood given for all sinners for the forgiveness of their sins)
d) hearing, learning & loving to practice the most holy & perfect word of God, which includes the Gospel, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
That's what the church should look like. Now, what should the church "sound" like, it a totally different vector.

Ok I agree that those who are comfortable and do not listen to the Holy Spirit are in big trouble but I would rather focus on the churches who are moved by the Holy Spirit. there is enough darkness in the world. let us comfort and edify each other and speak of the light?
here are the verses where Jesus tells us about the false churches and what will happen if they don't repent and change.
Revelations 3
14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans[f] write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[g] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”
you see God rebuke and chastens them for He still loves them and He wants them to be zealous and repent.
Perhaps the pastor should do a sermon upon these verses?
James 4:3-5
New King James Version (NKJV)
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and[a] adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
anyways. hope you have a lovely day in the world God made

thanks!your words remind me of these verses
Revelations 7
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
maybe we should practice and proclaim NOW with the saints "SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD WHO SITS ON THE THRONE, AND TO THE LAMB!"
you live in a fantasy.
and any church that might APPEAR to reach the perfection you demand would be a LEGALISTIC AND SPIRITUALLY ABUSIVE CULT. a sham.
they would demand OUTWARD expressions of perfection and obedience: WOMEN WEARING HEAD SCARVES, no pants for women, MEN WHO NEVER make a wrong move.
there are TONS of "churches" like that. not one of them is authentically Christian.
Christ came for sinners.
church is for SAINTS (SET ASIDE FOR CHRIST) who are justified BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH.
CHRIST'S PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPUTED TO THEM BY FAITH.
three words you REFUSE to LEARN ABOUT because of your faulty beliefs:
JUSTIFIED
PERFECT
IMPUTATION

The Holy Spirit will not stay where he is not wanted. He will not heal people who push him to the side. I was with you until you got to these statement. God heals even when we are sinners.He heals people's hearts and reveals His truth to them.
- Acts 28:27
For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has grown dull (stupid, hardened, and calloused), and their ears are heavy and hard of hearing and they have shut tight their eyes, so that they may not perceive and have knowledge and become acquainted with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their souls and turn [to Me and be converted], that I may heal them.
Acts 28:26-28 (in Context) Acts 28 (Whole Chapter)
Not to burst your bubble but there are many scriptures where God did not heal.
I too have seen God do glorious wonders, healings an all. Nothing compared to what he's been wanting to do. I've seen him open heaven. I've seen his rain. I've seen his golden oil he pours on ours heads. Praise God I would love to hear more of these things
He is so marvelous!! My daughter was hurting in her heart. My brother had died. I knew he was in heaven. My daughter wondered and it hurt her very much.
I was at my church and the Spirit of the Lord came so strong. Telling me to shout Jesus. So I did. I could feel wonderful awesomeness of God and I knew he was doing something.
My daughter came over and at her church she was crying out to God what happened to her favorite uncle. God opened heaven and he let her see my brother in heaven.
He wants to do so much more but lack of faith and lack of surrender he is not allowed. not allowed? I did not know God had to ask permission?
Your faith has made you well. Part of the reason the world is in such a mess Sister is the will of people. God has written and he must follow what is written. He can not do anything against a human will.
Why do think people are in hell and still going to hell. If it was up to me I would say all people go to heaven no matter what there own will says. Some call that the robot way. God wrote that people must want him.
God did his part. He gave his life, his blood. His power is there for only people who want him.
Lots of churches he's not even allowed in and the people have no clue. They are happy, they are comfortable. it is not that He is not allowed into these churches but that their lamps have been put out. Jesus tells us about these churches in Revelations. I'll get the scriptures in a minute
Well all the false teaching like we see here. God is dead. All that stuff. Some have never had the light in them. They live in delusion Sister.
Some has to do with people who did say yes Lord but want there will and not Gods will.
You must of heard the kinda like joke story of Jesus wasn't allowed in the church cause he wasn't dressed right. We have that mess here. You wear make up God hates you. Dear God he has baggy pants. God can't live inside of him. She has earrings God doesn't love her.
I actually had God speak out loud to me at this one church who say the mess of Gods power are for the bible days not now.
He said they do not allow me to dwell here.
These same people will be saying Lord Lord and not get into heaven but while on earth they always knew they would enter the gates. Not!

Sister I don't want to be Debbie downer
that you are neither cold nor hot
The verse you put up was God telling people they are going to hell. If they don't knock it off.
Ok the church I see. I don't think it come as near as pretty as the one in heaven with Rubies and Gold all over it. Cause God wants the money on earth to be spent on his children.
I like when a church is painted white on the outside. I know it makes no difference to God. I think a pink church would be cool! Pretty in pink!
I like when they have a cross on top. The grounds pretty and well taken care of cause the house of God is so special.
A church that is opened all the time is good. With someone in there to help one pray.
Where everyone loves each other no matter what. That we know everyone around us loves God just as much as we do. Everyone is smiling how could they not. No one is sick. No one is sad. No one is lonely. Everyone is is so happy they feel they may burst at any moment they are so filled with God inside of them.
There singing and they all see all the angels singing with them and they hear them.
God let me hear them once.
Where they all see the Holy Spirit standing with them.
They are there to worship and plan how they can do to help others in the world.
Don't point the finger so readily, you are the one that has quite a fantasy with all this 'amillennial stuff'. It is such a violation of objective truth to claim that Satan has been bound since the ascension of Christ, when there has been over 2,000 years of evidence to denounce and rebuff such a errant claim from the scriptures. You don't even consider the historical context of the nations of the earth and the diabolical (poneros) evil and deception that has subdued many of the nations into a total rejection of Christ and Him crucified and the church. This being was evidenced by the dark ages, the brutality of communism, the effects of darwinism and evolution and all the various forms of humanism and religious expression that involve the kingdoms of this world system.
This going all the way back to Cain and after the flood with Ham, Cush and Nimrod and the confusion of the tongue and the scattering of the people at the tower of Babel. Being such a Berean, how did you miss all of this, especially when all the kingdoms of the earth and their glory were offered to the Son of God by the devil (Satan), if He would only relinquish His position with the Father and fall down and worship him (Mt 4:8,9).

can you take your ad hominem attacks somewhere else?
you don't agree with her, we get that, and you point about how the Christ's church looks like is.....?
or is this an example of what should NOT occur?

Acts 2 - 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

I have more posts and spoke more about the local church and the edification of that church then any other poster on this site and have gotten so much flack for doing it, including from Zone, because it has been sadly lacking. Zone won't and can't deny that. and your point? do you want a cookie?
I have invested more time than you and others put together on this site, through PMs and offline, trying to convince and persuade believers from all walks of life on the importance of having a pastor-teacher and a local assembly of believers to worship with, to the hear the word and doctrine, to grow in grace and knowledge of Christ and to participate in the work of the ministry. yes that doesn't sound prideful at all
Please abstain from using this red herring crap on me and others with all your accusations of ad hominems, because it does not apply and it's tiresome, so does the personal attacks upon people and instead of addressing the issue on the thread. it grows tiresome to wait for people to act as mature Christians instead of backbiting bitter angry toddlers
you just have a bone to pick with me and that's the truth, whether you like it or not. no you can keep your bones of contention, just because you assert it as truth does not make it so. I could care less if you addressed me in the future but I will be respectful and answer if you do because that is how my Father taught me to be.
So there you have it. You don't like it, TOUGH, grow up in Christ and humble yourself along with all your ad hominem friends. you need to follow your own advice

it is either ignorance or willful disrespect and arrogance.
I don't play fetch, you can have your bone and have a nice day.
you words are suppose to show maturity in Christ?
why do you make issues and topics personal and attack the person and their character instead of address them in a Christian manner?
You get emotional and you lash out. it is a reoccurring pattern for you. Perhaps you should learn to tame your tongue and go to God in prayer instead of lashing at others with your emotions and anger?
