THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A CHURCH

Where you go to church is tremendously important. Because there is so much deception today, here are a few things to look for in a church.

1- The church must preach and teach that salvation is by faith in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ upon the Cross. It is a work of grace, not human effort.

2- The church you attend must believe, preach and teach that the Bible is the Inspired Word of Almighty God, from Genesis to Revelation. There is NO ERROR in the Bible.

3- God is eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity.

4- Your church should preach and teach the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

5- Divine healing is a part of the atonement of Christ.

6- Your church should be missions-minded. Make sure your church believes in and supports missionary projects. I have always believed that every local church ought to be sending funds to at least one missionary in a country of God's leading.

7- Evangelism. The church where you attend ought to be always involved in soul winning.

8- Your church ought to proclaim the IMMINENT return of the LORD JESUS CHRIST...

And of course there are many more things that comprise a good local church. You need to beware of so-called ministers who deny any of the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. They are not ministers of God, but of Satan.

BEWARE OF MINISTERS WHO DENY:

1-The Virgin birth of Christ

2- The Deity of Christ. Jesus Christ IS God and that should be proclaimed at your church.

3-The Blood Atonement

4- The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

5- Christ's miracle-working power today.

6- The Imminent return of Jesus Christ.

7- The inspired Word of God.

8- Everlasting life for the saved and everlasting punishment of the unsaved.

Protect yourself from deception in these last days. You should know what the Bible teaches and where you go to church is very important. The preachers and teachers you listen to are very important.
