Your PB church is not the church of the NT garee. Nice try though.

"And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved", Acts 2:47, King James Bible.
Note the singular, "the church".


For the one hundreth time I am no longer a member there, its been 5 years since  I have moved on to another which is more of the reformed nature.PB was my home church where the gospel of Christ had it first effect and quickened my soul.(they preached the gospel there, not we are the one mother church))

Yes, it is noted the word church is singular.Just as the word American is singular as one nation made up of many nations in unity to one law . Remember that our Father in heaven (not Rome) is typified under the name of Abraham which means the Father of many nations, called denominations or sects. (not one nation called Catholic.) Therefore to be in the bosom of Abraham is to be in the very presence of eternal God.

No person is going to be judged on what denomination they chose to belong to. In every one there could be lambs or goats, Christians as believers, or goats in regard to no faith, or another, Children of light, or children of darkness, wheat or tares all of those different metphors  make up every denomination, they will be sorted out at the end of the age..when the kingsdom of this world will become the Kingdoms of God in the new heavens and earth where the former things of this world will not be remembered forever ,as in never coming to mind

Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Children of light do not walk in the darkness of what is called "patron saint theology"  to them and according to light of God word, God calls worker with familiar spirits. For in the end of the matter following after a foundation based on necromancy,  only proves one is still in the darkness of the kingdoms of the occult.

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

To the law and to the testimony if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. sa 8:18-22

Note …… law and to the testimony…..sola scriptura

I am offering you  a great verse to try and memorize .Its good to try and memorize verses so that the Spirit of Christ can bring them to mind if one finds themselves walking in darkness, before Alzheimer’s can occur or a our vision and hearing are also weakened as we approach the end. Now is the time before we depart from this realm under the sun and will never have again any part in anything that does occur here.

 

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psa 119:103
