resurrection,

you are beginning to sound like your 'church' is more important to you than what God may have
in store for you...it almost sounds like an addiction to a, what, a building, people, comfort???
you make it sound like it is all about YOU and what you have decided and want...

a true Christian must always have an open heart to put God FIRST, before every, single,
thing or person....a giant step indeed, but sometimes this is required of us and we are
required to obey at any COST, family, friends, included!

MATT.16:24.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me.

MATT. 19:21.
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Your fight is in vain when the steeple is under the umbrella of the government. It would be better to gather the church and go elsewhere like home churches. That way you are free to worship with God at the helm and not the government.

You would need to be able to afford another church building near to your current church building.

There are no perfect churches. It's our job to set good examples for those less mature than we are. I don't think the Lord wants us walking out on our church simply because a bad pastor is sent to us.

If you love your church, you fight for it. You don't walk away and let the bad guys take over.

As long as you are fighting the good fight and never surrendering to the false teachings.. But in the end i think that the pastor will probably ask you to leave.. Either way there will be a separation..

I LOVE my Church.......my Church is not the one being discussed. My Church is in obedience to the Lord God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You're not the only one who loves your church. And don't tell me your church is without sin.
