JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 149

THE SEVEN STARS ARE THE ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES AND THE SEVEN LAMPSTANDS WHICH YOU SAW ARE THE SEVEN CHURCHES....REVELATION 1 : 20.

THE 7 CHURCHES -- CHRISTIAN OR HEATHEN?

There is nothing… that stirs this preacher more than liars and lies... praise God for His grace.. 1 Timothy 4:2.

Most have heard of the OSAS doctrine .. once saved always saved or once saved cannot be lost teaching of man. Included in this particular slant of exposition/bible teaching, is the belief that the ..seven churches.. were not actually made up of (born again) believers or saints as it were.

My questions are these:

1 . .    What were the seven stars doing in Jesus right hand if they were not ?.. stars/church leaders... Revelation 2:1

2 . .    What was Jesus doing walking in the seven churches if they were not His peoples?.. Revelation 2:1

3 . .    What was the devil about to throw some of the people into prison for if they were of him and not Jesus?.. Revelation 2:10

4 . .    Why were the people holding fast to Jesus name and not denying the faith with Antipas being martyred in the midst of them for Christ?... Revelation 2:13

I really don’t see any need to continue on, it would be an utter slaughter to do so, therefore I shall make one more statement before winding up in all of the letters to the seven churches Jesus repeatedly says.. to the overcomers!.... and… he who has an ear, let him hear the Holy Ghost.

God is not one that He would expect a unsaved, degenerated, weakling sinner or a religious hypocrite with only head knowledge to .. Overcome!.. or understand Holy Ghost Counsel. There is no doubt remaining that the letters that were written to the seven churches were written to saints… John 10:27.

Even the words of Revelation 3:1.. clearly state that the people of the church at Sardis were once alive to Christ and were now dead, their relationship was in jeopardy .. Jesus will come for those who remain and are alive!..1 Thessalonians 4:17.. are you alive to Christ’s commands?

Just as an extra blessing.. what did Jesus call the church at Ephesus?. He called them loveless.. they had left their first love, who was that?.. it was Jesus, the one whom the OSAS teachers say didn’t have a relationship with the seven churches. Jesus told them to repent and return, how can you return to a place where you have never been?.. Revelation 2:4,5.

My suggestion is to all readers, that you be very careful as to who you allow to teach you and shepherd you1for your own souls sake.. Acts 17:11.
Amen.
