Re-born on the edges.

Just to help those who believe that to state that someone or some group is in the wrong place (outside of Gods grace or interest) is judgemental to say the least. :shock:

In my ignorance & in my minimal level of ''this walk'', I was born again :groovy: into a cult. This body of people followed the teaching of a man. ( Think on these things!!)
(There is usually a man/woman in leadership) he quite correctly (Led by the Spirit!) ''believed'' that he had been shown that he needed to follow the passage '' (KJ) ''Come ye out & be separated.''
I believe People followed the man who had the message. (Not unknown ''even ''in the bible.or even in Christian settings)
The other leaders unfortunately raised that leader above the position God gave him. But I never heard in that group that Jesus love ME!!! & that He died that this love might be exchanged between us.

N.B. This was in the time that the world that I knew was saying ''stop the world I want to get off..(early '70+!!)

Who else like me, ??
now follows someone or group of the leadership of a body or church. Who they; through known history; or their faith/ trust , are listerning to & being led by Jesus who lives & breaths through His body ministry. (Experience in Christ is experience for Life.)

Each of us is respons-able for our own walk & that of others.
Leaders carry the greater responsibility before God.

His body, his spirit is at work world-wide & we don't always know where the ''wind''blows or on whom. :nod:
I'm quite happy to answer your questions.

United Kingdom- Charismatic.

I love my Pastor but if his teaching strays from the Word of God I would move on.
God is actively seeking all who will come and that can happen in the most unusual places can it not?

This is foundational to the message of Jesus....He came "to seek and to save that which was lost"

Each of us is respons-able for our own walk & that of others.
Leaders carry the greater responsibility before God.

My thought reading this was to say that no one.......has any inherent goodness before God. We have to ingest Jesus to have any value at all.....Jesus went on to inform, that he was the bread which came down from heaven. We have to partake of Him

Just my thoughts as I read your thread


Be blessed.....in Jesus
