When preachers tell their new converts to start going to a bible-believing church....what do they mean?? Can anyone tell us the churches that are not bible-believing? 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Good question. Are the churches we have really bible believing churches? Do they live by what they find in the bible or they formulate their own? Do they celebrate Christmas, Easter, new year when their master Jesus didn't do the same or the bible didn't ask them to? Do they join politics when Jesus who was most powerful didn't join politics? Do they worship idols in the form of Mary and Jesus when Jesus or his disciples or the bible didn't do anything like that? Do they remove God's name from the bible and replace it with Lord and God? Do they push for tithes when God and the bible no longer mandates tithe giving? Do you commit all form of sin and continue the next day as the church pastor? Can Jesus actually say this the church I started? 33 Likes 3 Shares |

Personally, I believe a Bible believing church should tick these four pointers; √ The Bible being preached as it it is faithfully, continuously √ Jesus being the center of worship in the church √ Fellowship and Discipleship √ Evangelism. *It's a given that a lot of churches these days are cebtres where members go to feel cool and fed motivational speeches by their 'pastors', hence the heads-up.

ikorodureporta: It's a demonic expression but only spirit filled Bible students can discern such speeches! First of all the way those people rise up in buses, market places and street corners and start making noise is antichristian. What do i mean? The man who commissioned preaching and teaching is called "Jesus of Nazareth" he commanded his disciples to go and meet people in their homes or anywhere they can have a one on one conversation with their listeners! Matthew 10:11-13 We need to really understand Jesus before we can work for/with him. He doesn't want us to disturb anyone with noise perhaps the person is thinking something in his mind and is not in the mood for talks or trying to figure out something so he needs a calm and quiet environment but he can't find such a place, so Jesus wants us to greet him then ask for permission to speak! Matthew 12:19 In that way we have shown respect for our neighbour. That's why Jesus asked us to visit them at home because if they're lovers of God they will like to talk about God! Malachi 3:16 But since most people claiming Christians today are misinformed Churchgoers they just want to say what they're taught in their various worship centers and they don't respect their neighbours so they just start talking, of course they know it's not proper that's why they try to catch the attention of Churchgoers like them by starting with songs common among Churchgoers and once some in the audience join in the chorus they feel they've gotten enough support to spew their gibberish. Now why is it that they're saying "Bible believing church" instead of telling their listeners to come and become disciples who will also preach and teach for Jesus? They know there's no arrangement in their places of worship for what they're doing in the buses or on the streets so they will end up telling you to go and choose the religion you think is OK. Jesus established preaching and teaching for his disciples in pairs {Luke 10:1} so that when the person loves your message you can return to establish a free home Bible study with your friend, it's after he/she has become convinced that he/she will become eager to know the source of this great wisdom. Then is the time to invite them to the gathering where you're also learning {Hebrews 10:24-25} to become active disciples of Christ not just Churchgoers! 2Timothy 3:16-17 ![]() 15 Likes |

RoyalBlu:100 percent of churches claim all these that you have written. Asking someone to go to any bible believing church is like sending someone on an errand without a map. The phrase means little or nothing. Every church quotes from the bible yet they all have different doctrines. Lets stop asking people to go to any bible believing church rather, lets learn to identify the true church of God. 7 Likes |

RoyalBlu:That is why you don't tell some one you just preached to go to a bible believing church. You need to give the person more details if not, you are causing a big problem. The Question we should be asking is what are the fruits of the Church of God? 3 Likes |

Not every church gathering is a "true church". A true church can be likened to the new Jerusalem. There are some churches that are epitomes of babylon, even the little salvation that you are managing they will snatch it from you and replace it with greed, worldliness and lust. A Bible-believing Church is one that places the Word of God above every other thing(history, tradition, trend etc). The best I have seen so far in Nigeria are RCN, Koinonia, Fortress Ministry, Lord of Hosts Harvests, Fire Nation . The ones I will rate second best are MFM, Deeper Life, Redeem, Living Faith(I rated them second best because I can't vouch for all their doctrines 100%). However, there are many other Bible-believing churches, many are small and not popular. A Bible-believing Church can really help you grow in your Faith, prayers and Word-Life. If you are in need of one, take it to God in prayers to direct you to one. God bless you. 8 Likes |

FatherOfJesus:It is one thing to believe in the Bible and another to believe in the Spirit that inspired the Bible. The Bible is a Lock, it can only be truly studied and understood with the right key the HOLY SPIRIT. Any other key you are using will lead to wrong interpretation. Even prostitutes, homosexuals, muslims, traditionalists twist the Bible to their favor, claiming it supports their views. Many churches out there only claim to believe in the Bible. But when you show them in plain white and black that what they are doing is unscriptural, they will refuse to repent and still hold true with their "church traditions ". Because their words are far from what is in their hearts. Many Churches don't take the Word of God as Supreme. Same way, Jesus said, If you love Me, obey me, yet many of us keep shouting, I love Jesus and moving from one sexual partner to the other. 3 Likes |

Not Everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian indeed. Not Everyone that says LORD ! LORD! Will go to Heaven. Not Every Church is a Church. Devil also has his churches. A Bible Believing Church is a Church that Preaches the Bible, Belives the Bible( not just in Mouth) Lives the Bible Stands Boldly for what the Bible says. 2 Likes |

This foolish statement was started by people leaving the Catholic Church. Mostly by pastorprenures who milk their sheep to the bones. Unfortunately for this simple minded fools, the current bible was compiled by the Catholic church in AD 382. They put the books they wanted and kept aside the ones they didn't want. It's the same books your criminal pastors are using to steal your money 17 Likes 1 Share |
