dljrn04 View Profile History	COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM Posted : 14 Sep, 2013 11:27 AM �COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE, SAITH THE LORD! [2 Corinthians 6:17]. And what will follow when this Divine command is obeyed? Why, then we shall prove the truth of those words of Christ: �If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world HATETH you (John 15:19). WHICH �world� is specifically in view here? Let the previous verse answer: �If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.� WHAT �world� hated Christ and hounded Him to death? The RELIGIOUS world, those who pretended to be most zealous for God�s glory. So it is now. Let the Christian turn his back upon a Christ�dishonoring Christendom, and his fiercest foes and most relentless and unscrupulous enemies will be those who claim to be Christians themselves! �Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you� for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad� (Matthew 5:11,12). Ah, my brother, it is a healthy sign, a sure mark that you are profiting from the Word, when the religious world hates you. BUT IF, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU STILL HAVE A �GOOD STANDING� IN THE �CHURCHES� OR �ASSEMBLIES� THERE IS GRAVE REASON TO FEAR THAT YOU LOVE THE PRAISE OF MEN MORE THAN THAT OF GOD! [Profiting from the Word] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, AND TOUCH NOT the unclean thing.� [2Cor6:14,17] O my Christian reader, seek grace to obtain the uncompromising spirit of Moses. When urged to worship God in �Egypt� (i. e. the white-washed �churches� OF THE WORLD), say it is impossible, for �what communion hath light with darkness!� when pressed to leave your children in a worldly Sunday School, to be instructed by those who have not the fear of God upon them, refuse, when invited to at least retain your membership in the HOLY SPIRIT-DESERTED �CHURCHES� and contribute of your means to their upkeep, decline to do so. That going forth to meet the Lord is to be understood as expressing both external and internal action. Externally, it signifies separation from the world, especially its pleasures, for Christ will not be met with while we waste our time engaging in them. �Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers� come out from among them� (2 Corinthians 6:14-17) must be heeded if we would �meet the Bridegroom.� More particularly, their going forth denoted a turning of their backs upon the apostate ECCLESIASTICAL SYSTEM: Christ had informed His disciples that he had abandoned a Judaism which had rejected Him (Matthew 23:37, 38), so if they would meet with Him, they too must �go forth unto Him outside the camp� (Hebrews 13:15). THE SAME IS TRUE NOW. [Practical Christianity] [Writing to Lowell Green, September 2, 1934] My earnest advice is for you to have little or NOTHING TO DO with the people of the religious world today. They CANNOT help you spiritually, and where they help not they are bound to HINDER! Be much in prayer and on your guard against a holier-than -thou attitude. if we are not very watchful, separation soon leads to self- righteousness. On the other hand, association with empty professors soon corrupts and paralyzes true spirituality. Prayer, reading and meditation will do far more for your soul � with God�s blessing on the same � than attending meetings and being active in �Christian service�. A.W.

These are the ones who have nothing to learn from the men of God who have gone before them but instead fancy themselves and their opinion to be above everyone else. Post Reply

If everybody had done the same with their grace that I have, they might all have been saved. Lord, I know thou dost not make us willing if we are not willing ourselves. Thou givest grace to everybody; some do not improve it, but I do. There are many that will go to hell as much bought with the blood of Christ as I was; they had as much of the Holy Ghost given to them; they had as good a chance, and were as much blessed as I am. It was not thy grace that made us to differ; I know it did a great deal, still I turned the point; I made use of what was given me, and others did not-that is the difference between me and them." "Grace taught my soul to pray, And made my eyes to o'erflow; 'Twas grace that kept me to this day, And will not let me go." From Spurgeon's Sermon, Free Will - A Slave Post Reply

View Profile History	COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM Posted : 15 Sep, 2013 04:30 AM I dont hate you any more than I hate a child for acting up and pretending to be mature. Have anyone ever actually said they hate you? I have rejected IWA. I have rejected him because scripture tells me to reject him. You guys think I reject the doctrine of predestination when I do not you guys think I reject truth of scripture when I do not. I dont even reject calvinism. What goes on here concerning rectecting IWA has nothing to do with doctrine or truth it has to do with .........waith for it.......IWA's personality. I reject IWA because he is a trouble maker plain and simple not for the message he brings. My best friend and I differ in some of the doctrinal beliefs we believe. But we still have and express great respect for oneanother, why??? because we conduct our selves with dignity. Do you know about dignity? Does he? I think you do Donna but I think you become tired of daily coming here and not being taken seriously. I have appreciated many things you bring here in your quite ways. But when IWA or whoever he is comes here you now become a different woman. His influence on you is negitive and I wish you could see this. He stirrs up strife and you follow him. These other ladies conduct their selves with dignity also but he seems to bring out the worse in all of us including me in the past. This is why I reject IWA because he brings out the worse in all of us including you Donna. Post Reply
