PROFESSION OR POSSESION?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? IN A NATION WHERE OVER TWO THIRDS OF THE POPULATION CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN AND OVER HALF OF THAT NUMBER BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, ARE WE TO ACCEPT THEIR PROFESSION AT FACE VALUE? ARE WE TO GO ON LIKE THE REST OF OUR POOR BLIND FUNDAMENTAL BRETHREN AND BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF A NEW GREAT AWAKENING? LET'S JUST BE HONEST PEOPLE IF THE NUMBER OF CONVERSIONS COMING OUT OF THE CHURCH IN AMERICA IS TRUE, THEN WE ARE ALREADY IN THE NEW GREAT AWAKENING! JONATHON EDWARDS DIDN'T SEE THE NUMBERS THAT ARE REPORTED MONTHLY OUT OF THE "BUSS MINISTRIES" AND "TEEN" CHURCHES IN THIS COUNTRY! AND WHAT OF THEIR FRUITS- LOOSE DRESS, LOOSER LIPS AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY SUCH HAS NEVER BEEN! IS IT JUST BAD "DISCIPLESHIP" ON THE PART OF THE CHURCH? GOD HELP US FOR BEING THIS GULLIBLE! THE SAD REALITY IS THAT WE ARE ON THE VERY THRESHOLD OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE APOSTASY THAT WAS PREDICTED IN THE BIBLE IS AND HAS BEEN COMING TO FRUITION! PASTORS, YOUTH PASTORS, YOUTH LEADERS AND PRAISE LEADERS(WHATEVER THAT IS) ARE LEADING THOUSANDS TO SO CALLED CHRISTIANITY IN THE SAME WAY THAT THEY GOT THERE, OR SHOULD I SAY DIDN'T GET THERE! THEY HAVE BYPASSED REPENTANCE AND LORDSHIP SALVATION AND NOW! I SAID NOW WE ARE DEALING WITH THE FRUITS OF THE GENERATION OF COMPRIMISERS BEFORE US AND THEY NOW FILL PULPITS ALL ACROSS THE NATION! I KNOW...I AM "LEGALISTIC", WELL CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL BUT " BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM"-MATT 7:16. WE HAVE COME TO THE PLACE WHERE THE LOST ARE "EVANGELIZING" THE LOST! AND "IF THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH"-MATT 15:14. IF YOU DEAR READER ARE TRULY SAVED, TAKE MY ADVICE AND KEEP YOUR FAMILY FAR AWAY FROM THESE FALSE TEACHERS. CAN YOU JUST SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND GET INTO HEAVEN ON THAT? JUST BECAUSE YOU WENT TO THE ALTAR AND REPEATED A PRAYER? BECAUSE YOU GOT BAPTIZED? THE GREATEST QUESTION I CAN ASK YOU NOW IS....... DO YOU POSSESS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? J.R.
