What is true Christianity Elin? I would really like to know.
Well, it starts with rebirth into spiritual eternal life by the Holy Spirit, who through obedience, prayer and
study of the Scriptures receive a disposition of brotherhood in Christ, grounded in Christian truth and
directed by Biblical wisdom.
If there is no rebirth, and no obedience, prayer and study of the Scriptures, there will be no true
disposition of brotherhood in Christ, no true grounding in Christian truth and no direction by true
Biblical wisdom.
Instead, there will be ignorance, error, selfishness, unkindness, lust for power, dishonesty, fraud,
greed, etc., etc., etc.
Instead of feeding, caring for and nurturing the flock in true brotherhood, there will be
fleecing of the flock, abuse of the flock, deception of the flock.
One who is able to extract himself from such a situation has done a good thing.
The challenge remaining for him is not to measure the reality of God by his awful experience
of that group which falsely represented him.
That's not an easy thing to do. . .and takes time.
