but you should be in a Church whose origins can be traced back First Century A.D.
and only Catholic, Coptic, Ethiopian or Orthodox Church fit the criteria. just investigate and choose which is the one true Church that continues today from First Century.
Newly founded churches are just scams intended to get members' money by the greedy pastors by frightening them hellfire and God's curses if they do not give 10 percent, love offerings etc.
2 Peter 2 New King James Version (NKJV)
Destructive Doctrines
2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
and in return these pastors will become wealthy.
Jeremiah 5:26 ‘For among My people are found wicked men; They lie in wait as one who sets snares; They set a trap; They catch men.
5:27 As a cage is full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich.

Hey! Brethren... PTL!
Gal 3:2-5 "This only I would learn of you, received ye the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain, if it be yet in vain? He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you; doeth he it by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?"
As I see it there is a separate ministering of the Spirit from when we initially receive the Spirit at salvation when we all have by one Spirit been baptized into one body. Perhaps the function of ministering the Spirit; is an effect of the gift of the Spirit, working of miracles. Makes you wonder, how many of us who were given the gift of the working of miracles, for the perfecting of the body of Christ, never stirred up their gift because they don't believe they even have a gift of the Spirit, sadly.
Maranatha!

As far as the gospel goes, we who are born of the Spirit are all Priests after the order of Melchizedec with an anointing because of the Spirit within each of us. We are able ministers of the gospel, with both the word and the ministry of reconciliation. And from the Lord, we are able to comfort others with the same comfort with which the Lord has comforted us with. The Holy Spirit works with us to reach the lost, reproving them of their sin since they believe not on Jesus; as we lift up Jesus to them. The Lord rejoices more over each lost person turning to Jesus that all the righteousness deeds of us all put together. And I suspect that in New Jerusalem, Jesus will let us know who he used to minister salvation to us; so that our thankfulness of such with remain forever as one of our eternal rewards.
Praise the Lord in the name of Jesus, our God and King!
