Grace4You

Don't buy into the notion that a great number of Pastors and teachers within the body of Christ are not fully aware that there is a huge difference between God's earthly prophetic kingdom program for the nation of Israel and the dispensation of the grace of God, which the Lord Jesus Christ revealed from Heaven to the Apostle Paul for the Gentiles.

Some might disagree with me, but many of these people are really knowledgeable about the Scriptures and so we give credit where credit is due. My deep concern is how do they not see the difference between the two programs? It's hard for me to embrace this. Just the terms of salvation alone between the two programs should jar their minds. I truly believe that if you read the Scriptures with an open mind and tell God that you really want to know His Word rightly divided and you don't care what it will cost you, be it fame, fortune or even loss of friendships, He will absolutely open your understanding to this blessed message of grace.

Many of our pastors have found themselves in quite a dilemma with the message of grace because once your spirit has been illuminated you have to make a decision that is going to affect your life and ministry for time and eternity. You can count on it and this is where the rubber meets the road for many of our Pastors and Bible Teachers, they count the cost and they have decided that the cost is too much. Especially for these mega-churches, you are going to have to tell your congregation that after all these years of not rightly dividing the word of God you have now come to see Paul's distinct apostleship and message to the Gentiles and it means a large number of people will leave your Church and there goes your six-figure income, your lear Jets, Yachts, luxury cars, and home. Of course, this is not the case with every pastor but either way, your life will be impacted.

However, which is a better choice for you, lose everything and trust God or compromise and suffer terrible loss at the judgment of the believers following the rapture of Church.

Remember that as Pastors and Bible Teachers you are going to be held to a higher standard of accountability because what you are teaching your people will affect their lives also for time and eternity. I rarely ever hear a minister outside the grace movement preach consistently on one of Paul's Epistles and I find that very shocking, to say the least. For certain they will touch on the fundamentals of the faith but never do you hear anything about their understanding on the following doctrines of grace. 1. The unsearchable riches of Christ 2. The preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. 3. The pretribulation rapture of the Church 4. The one baptism 5. Total forgiveness of sins ( There are churches that still preach that we can lose our salvation) 6. The sealing of the Holy Spirit. These are just a few examples of some of the many spiritual blessings we have in Christ. The devastating blunder the Church has made today is going back to the four Gospels and the early chapters of the book of Acts, piggybacking tradition and saying that this is where we find our doctrine, walk, and position for the Church, the Body of Christ and it has done irreparable harm to many of the Saints. What are we really saying to God, when we reject the doctrines of grace that was revealed to the Apostle Paul for the Church the Body of Christ and imposing our own marching orders? Please don't misunderstand me, as I have said before, the whole Bible is for my learning but not everything is written to me. We can go to the four gospels and find Scriptures for practical Christian living or make spiritual application but always against the light of the gospel of the grace of God.
