Re: Condemning the Signs & Wonder Movements and Allegations Against Pastor Bill Johns
Mat. 7:21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Those that refuse correction do NOT belong to God. You can't follow Christ following ungodly doctrine.
Any work of iniquity that is not repented of by the believer are at risk of being left behind at the pre trib rapture event. The faithful saying is that any one who denies Him, not just by word, but by deed of that iniquity, they will be denied as 2 Timothy 2:12 declares BUT 2 Timothy 2:13 declares that even if they do not believe in Him any more, He still abides !!!!
Titus 1:[SUP]14 [/SUP]Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.[SUP]15 [/SUP]Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]12 [/SUP]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:[SUP]13 [/SUP]If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy 2:18 speaks of how some err from the truth and have their faith overthrown; and surely a lot of believers TODAY become former believers because of the lie of the evolution theory to not believe in His words, but even they are called to go before that throne of grace for help to discern by the KJV so that with His help, they may depart from that exposed iniquity to be that vessel unto honor in His House.
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]18 [/SUP]Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.[SUP]19 [/SUP]Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.[SUP]20[/SUP]
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.[SUP]21 [/SUP]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
And that testifies that those left behind; the castaways, are the vessels of dishonor in His House that DID NOT DEPART from iniquity, but they are still in His House as 2 Timothy 2:19-21 testify.
So what you have shared is correct, but how you applied it is not. What I have shared is why how you applied it was not applied aptly.
So do not write off those people as not saved or not serious or not a christian, because it is what they have built on that foundation that will be judged for why you are correcting them, leading them into prayer to the One that will deliver them as only He can. That is Who you go to for help, right? So correct them, and lead them in prayer to Him for help.

By sharing your faith in Him that you rely on Him all the time as your personal Good shepherd, believers living in sin may see their hope in Him too in being their Good Shepherd.
