If u have not decided to change urself, no church can change u.Joining bible believing churches will make u more hardened in evil when ur eyes are opened and u find out dt 98% of d people in d church do worse things than u including d pastor.Do unto others as u will like them do unto you is what assures salvation.
Beign a member of any church is not bad, but it can't take u to heaven.
D only benefit is dt when u are dead, members of d church will gather to sing in memorial and eat rice.

undecided it means go to church that preaches and quote the bible to the defend their talks, not the ones that speaks motivational speeches, not the ones that do miracles like say na magic show, not the ones that see offering and tithe as do or die affairs.

Bible believing churches believe and emphasize the Bible as the Word of God. They don't make excuses not to obey the Bible. They don't dismiss chapters of the Bible. They don't say "This one is Paul, not Jesus talking ", they don't say "This one is council of Nicea, so it is man".

I’ll say Jehovah witness is a Bible believing Church even though I’m not one. We all have been preached to several times without being invited to their churches. They’re more concerned of you understanding the world of God and they way they’re so good at it, shows that JW is a Bible people church.

Redeemed- believes in entertainment and praises and worship with sophisticated and sound musical instruments.

Winners Chapel- same with redeemed with a hint of Show business.

Catholic- Glorifies Mary the mother of Jesus and sing hymns and songs of praises to Mary undecided

You’re contradicting yourself. They don’t believe in Bible yet they have their own Bible, does that make any sense to you? Does their Bible talk about a different Jesus and God? undecided

it's a catchphrase of the modern pentecostal, A meaningful statement that has been bastardized.

However I think the original meaning is go to a church that believes and practices the Bible the right way.

Many churches practice the Bible the wrong way. undecided

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?

There are some of your comments that I find baseless. You asked if they join politics when Jesus, the most powerful didn't? Does it mean Jesus is automatically against people in government? Ohh. You can as well ask if they get married and bear children when Jesus didn't?

Point of note, we can only emulate the behavioural patterns and teachers of Jesus but we can't be like Jesus. Why? Jesus was conceived of the holy spirit. We are not.

Furthermore, you asked if they pay tithe when God and the Bible no longer instructs about it. Where did God say 'no more tithe?'

And what is wrong in celebrating the birth and death of Jesus when those days happen to be days that hope was restored to mankind? Oh why do you celebrate birthdays in your house?

I rest my case.

Nope, saying something is different from being something. Does the church believe all the books of the Bible as God's Word? Do they believe that believers should be saints/perfect like the Bible says? Do they believe in how the Bible says to live, dress, work, pray, worship etc? That's the meaning of Bible believing.

This reminds me when I was a member of Lord's chosen church back in the days. There was this brother that came visiting from the village and he won't go to church on Sundays. I thought he was the devil himself, so one day I told him "you can't stay in my house without going to church. You must look for any bible believing church" and begin going to church on Sundays. I was even ready to throw him outside the house if he didn't obey. And that's how I pressured him to begin going to church against his will.

Little did I know I was dumb. I had no idea at that time what a dumb religion Christianity.

Christianity is based on falsehood. Jesus is the biggest fraud ever committed in history.

He've long returned to the village. I hope he didn't permanently take my instruction. In fact, any time I see him again I'll apologize to him, and if he's a Christian, I'll stop him from going to church by all means.

if it's a church in christ then It has to believe in the Bible.
The problem sets in because different churches have different interpretations of the Bible.
They literally believe the Bible differently and they all think that their own specific interpretation is the ultimate. For someone making the statement "Bible believing church" that person means that a church that believes the Bible in accordance to his/her interpretations.

MaxInDHouse:


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 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 smiley

You have some valid points in your conclusion however I think your interpretation of Matthew 10: 11- 17 is out of context. Those homes where to provide accommodation for them... Jesus sent them to towns, homes.
Acts 1:8; Matthew 28: 19-20;ark 16: 15-17; Luke 24:47. Go through these. God bless you.

SPTruth:
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.
You are decwiving yaself. Which holy spirit? Is it different for different people. You are just deluded. Thats all.

A Bible Believing Church is not the same as a church that believes in the Bible according to one's interpretation. We have to take it as that.... a BBC... and not assume it meant something else.

As much as possible avoid criticizing any church or pastor because we do not know it all and by the way its between them and God
A quote from Peter in the book of acts "we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the word of his ministry". Any bible believing church must emphasize on the act of prayer and also teach the congregation to know God for themselves
It is important that as believers we study the Bible so that we truly know when a pastor is rightly dividing the word of God
