WHO ARE THE "FALSE CHRISTS"Who are they...who almost deceivethe VERY ELECT and DECEIVE MANY?We read that they are"false Christs" and "false prophets"But WHO are these false Christs and false prophets?How will we know them?What IDENTIFIES them asfalse prophets, liars, and deceivers?Here are just two Scriptureswhere Jesus gives us the IDENTIFYING SIGNSof the these false teachers, and deceivers:"MANY will say to me [Jesus] in that day,Lord, Lord [Master, Master], have we not:A: PROPHESIED[taught, preached] in Thy Name [Jesus]?B: In Thy Name [Jesus]have CAST OUT DEVILS [demons]?C: And in Thy Name [Jesus]done MANY WONDERFUL WORKS [miracles]?And then will I profess[plainly, openly, tell them to their face]I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM MEYOU THAT WORK INIQUITY [lawlessness]" (Matt 7:22-23)"For MANY shall come in my name,saying [that], I [Jesus] am Christ,and shall deceive MANY" (Matt 24:5)Who are the "MANY" today who,(1) Teach and preach in the name of Jesus Christ?(2) Cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ?(3) Do MANY (not a few, but many) WONDERFUL WORKS(not evils works, but good and wonderful works),in the name of Jesus Christ?...Who?The Russians? The Chinese? The Muslims?The Hindus? The Confucianists?The Buddhists? The Jews?The QUARTER BILLION Ethnic Religionists?The HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION Athiests?Do ANY of these worldwide religions"teach, preach, cast out demons,and do many wonderful worksIN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"No, they don’t!!Well then,WHO ARE THESE "MANY" who do these things?Do not "MANY"of the TWO BILLION CHRISTIANS in the world today,"teach, preach, cast out demons, and do manywonderful works IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"Then I would say that we have identifiedthe "many" that Jesus warned us aboutIt is not enough...to preach, teach, heal, and cast out demonsin the name of Jesus Christ-One has to also OBEYthe commandments and teachings of Jesus ChristJesus said that it is the "many" who do good words,but are guilty of "iniquity" which means "lawlessness"Next, who are the "MANY" today who say that,"Jesus IS THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH?"No, don’t be deceived;it is not those few who occasionally claimthat they themselves are "Jesus the Christ"They don’t deceive the "MANY"Only some fool would ever be deceivedinto believing that some carnal idiotreally IS the ChristBesides, there are NOT "many"who make such a claim in the first placeBut there certainly are "MANY"who say and teach that JESUS is the REAL CHRIST!!And so it is not only thosewho "teach and preach and cast out demonsand do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus"who are DECEIVING THE MANY,but also there is a large group (many)who teach that "Jesus really IS THE CHRIST"and yet Jesus said it would be thesethat are also DECEIVING THE MANY!!Millions of Christianshave heard these Scriptures quoted all their livesBut, God forbid that they would pause a minute or twoto consider WHO REALLY ARE THESE PEOPLETHAT JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT REALLY DOTHESE MANY WONDERFUL THINGS AND YET-DECEIVE THE MANY!!Jesus Christ said"I will BUILD My church..."(Matt 16:18)Where are God’s people (My people)?"And he cried mightily with a strong voice…And I heard another voice from heaven sayingCOME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE,that ye be not partakers of her SINS,and that ye receive not of her PLAGUES" (Rev 18:2,4)Who is the "her"that "God’s PEOPLE" are to "COME OUT OF"but "Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother [church]of Harlots [daughter churches]and the ABOMINATIONS of the earth" (Rev 17:4-6)Today’s Church threatens the world of sinnerswith eternal torture in eternal fireif they do not...COME INTO...their Great Mystery Church of Abominations!!!"Know you not thatYOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD,and that the Spirit of Goddwells IN YOU?" (1Cor 3:16)That's because,"God that made the world and all things therein,seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth,DWELLS NOT IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS" (Acts 17:24)No, God does not "dwell"in temples and buildings made with hands,but SATAN does "DWELL" in carnal churchesmade with hands (Rev 2:13)The Depths of Satan is found IN THE CHURCHHe doesn't attack the Churchfrom without, but from within:Where do we find "Satan’s seat (throne)?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)Where do we find "where Satan dwells?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)Where do we find "the doctrine of Balaam?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:14)Where do we find them who"say they are apostles (of Christ) and are not?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:2)Where do we find themwho have "left their first love?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:4)Where do we find them which"say they are (spiritual) Jews and are not,but are the synagogue of Satan?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:9 & 3:9)Where do we find"them that hold the doctrineof the Nicolaitanes, which thing I (Jesus) hate?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:15)Where do we find "that woman Jezebel,which calls herself a prophetess,to teach and to seduce my servantsto commit fornication and to eat thingssacrificed unto idols?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:19)Where do we find them that"have a name that you live, and are dead?"Why, IN THE CHURCHWhere do we find them that"are wretched, and miserable,and poor, and blind, and naked?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 3:17)And were do we find "the DEPTHS of Satan?"Why, IN THE CHURCH, of course Rev 2:24)THE CHURCH OF GOD IN PRIVATE HOUSESThere was a transition periodwhere the disciples still went up to the temple,but God’s intimate dealings would now be foundin more humble surroundingsWhen the Holy Spirit was poured outon the first Saints of Jesus,it was not in a synagogue, but in a house:"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,they were all with one accord in one placeand suddenly there came a sound from heavenas of a rushing mighty wind,and it filled all the HOUSEwhere they were sitting" (Acts 2:1-2)Church services were held in houses:"Likewise greet the churchthat is in their house" (Rom 16:5)"The churches of Asia salute youAquila and Priscilla salute youmuch in the Lord, with the churchthat is in their house" (1 Cor 16:19)"Salute the brethrenwhich are in Laodicea, and Nymphas,and the church which is in his house(Col 4:15)"Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,and Timothy our brother,unto Philemon our dearly beloved,and fellow labourer,and to our beloved Apphia,and Archippus our fellowsoldier,and to the church in your house"(Philemon 1-2)When we come to the famous Jerusalem Conferencein the fifteenth chapter of Acts, we readthat Paul and Barnabas were"…being brought on their way by the CHURCH…"(Acts 15:3)This is the Church of Jesus Christ,not the church of the synagogue systemNotice that in this conferencetheir determination was to not forcethe Law of Moses on new Gentile converts:"Then pleased it the apostles and elders,with THE WHOLE CHURCH…" (Acts 15:22)The High Priests did not attend this conferenceThis was the first "Policy Binding Counsel"of the Church of Jesus Christ,consisting of only those who believed,who formulated policy which would be bindingon the whole churchThe Jews had "synagogues"—church buildingsThe newly converted Christians came out ofthose synagogue church buildingsand their doctrines, and met in homesWhy?Mostly because Christ was not taughtor tolerated in these synagoguesIn order to worship and followthe teachings of Jesus Christ,it became necessary to "come out of her"...the synagogue system of religionWherefore...2Cor 6:17Wherefore come OUT from among themand be ye seperate, saith the Lord,and touch not the unclean thing,and I will receive youRev 18:4Come out of her, my people,that ye be not partakers of her sins,and that you receive not of her plaguesGod is calling his people ..OUT.. of the Churchesand thus hiding them in the shadow of his handJer 6:2I have likened the daughter of Zionto a comely and delicate womanIsa 51:16And I have put my words in thy mouth, andI have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,that I may plant the heavens,and lay the foundations of the earth,and say unto Zion, Thou art my peoplehttp://myspace.com/water_spirit_blood
