Fellowship is much more than that. Much deeper than that.
The only way a person can fellowship with God is by his Holy Spirit. That is the only way. This is communion. Drinking grape juice and eating stale crackers is not fellowship.
This is what Jesus was trying to tell us, to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Saducces. He told us to actually listen to them, and obey them, but not to follow their WAYS!! The doctrine of these are wrought out of hell in hypocrisy.
The only people who have been deemed the children of God are those that are lead by the Spirit of God, and not by their own flesh.
May Jesus bless you.
Haha Amen Ramon! I Agree. But the felowship that ALL children share in is the Suffering of Christ. The DYING of Christ that we must ALL cary around in our bodies. its not ONLY his dying on the cross we share, but HIS example of dying to SELF in life on this planet. THAT is the fellowship we are apart of.
There are many different "Fellowships" Fellowship of dentistry, or fellowship of doctors, Young lawyers fellowship. There comradery, there cominality, is what there fellowship is.
A Child of GOD is fellowship in the Suffering Of Christ Jesus. Thats what a CHRISTIAN is. its not a religion. its not a prayer you pray to have a golden ticket to glory land. its Suffering in the flesh, agaisnt sin. Mortifying the deeds of the flesh. ALL of them, and helping each other do that. BUILDIGN UP the body of Christ, not taring down, sifting OUT the sin. casting forth the right hand that casues us to stumble. And Yeilding ,submiting actively, daily, minute by minute, submission to GODS will, IN Christ Jesus. and WHAT is GODS will? that we Be Holy. Not forced Holy. Not Public Holy. Not national Holy. Infact we shoudlnt even be inolved in politics. We should be so involved in JESUS' KINGDOM and pleaseing GOD that politics, THIS world doesnt even factor in. And we need to do so While walking in LOVE.
THAT is the fellowship of the saints. Fellowshiping in the suffering of Christ, IN love, and Truth, and Spirit.
