True spiritual leaders are defined by Christ's example.

True Spiritual Leaders Are Defined by Christ's Example and His Testimony .

"Whoever wants to be great among you must become the servant of all" (Matt. 20:26).

To partake of Jesus Christ's ministry one must be obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as exampled to us by the Apostles in Acts Chapter 2. This Gospel being confirmed by a True Witness, the inscription of the 12 Apostles Names in the foundation of New Jerusalem. Their names are inscribed forever in the foundations of the Holy City, New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelations Chapter 21:14. The original twelve would include Mathias who replaced Judas rather then Paul (Saul) who was later converted when he encountered a blinding light on the Damascus road. Paul (Saul) is believed to be the author of several of the letters in the New Testament.

We can follow the 12 Apostles example of preaching, and exhort all to obey the words of the Apostles in regard to obedience to God, and the Gospel of reconciliation which translates us, by the Spirit of adoption, The Holy Ghost into the Kingdom of God.

This is the only example in the Bible Acts Chapter 2:38 of the Gospel that was preached. All other forms of a gospel are implied or merely speculation on the part of the one who practices the use of other gospel(s). We certainly must be sure of that which we allow ourselves to partake of.

If it's not completely clear and exampled in the Scriptures one could be easily be convinced that there is no need of Scripture period.

(Wouldn't that be a win win situation for Lucifer if the church would just disregard the scriptures completely?)

In a day where the anti-Christ spirit is desperately working to deceive the Church of the Living God as he did Eve in the garden of Eden I must strongly recommend, that no person that values their soul, and that of their loved ones, accept nothing less then what is expressly exampled to us in scripture. This example made known to us, by those we know for a fact by God's own Testimony of them, the 12 Apostles and their ministry that he was well pleased with them. Revelations Chapter 21:14

WARNING IN SCRIPTURE:

2 Cor 11:2-4

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him]. (You might be deceived by them?)

Gal 1:6-9

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Beware of another Gospel, or another christ, that comforts you and excuses you from the responsibility for your sins, leaves you unchanged, unconverted, unbaptized and comfortable in your sins, rather then delivering you out of sin!

Beware of those who urge you to disregard and disobey the Apostles example in Scripture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Remember the original 12 Apostles walked and talked with Jesus Christ, the Apostle Peter received the keys to the Kingdom of God from Jesus Christ personally. He knows how, and exampled this Gospel and obedience to the Gospel unto us as the way into the Kingdom of God in Acts Chapter 2. The Gospel was obeyed that day, and three thousand were added unto the Church of God, by that message and many more after that.

I know what the Bible says about the Gospel as it was preached in Scripture, I won't speculate or guess about the salvation of anyone who has not obeyed the Gospel Scripturally. Whether another Gospel can save you or is OK is totally up to you. I see no place in scripture that those Apostles of old ever deviated from Acts 2:38 doctrine and I will not either.

May God have mercy on your soul if your wrong and you cannot show God a just reason for your error using the Holy Scriptures we have received. In the day that you stand before God to give account for your soul it would be wise to fall upon the examples in scripture rather then falling on the doctrines of man, which have been passed down from the catholic papacy, and those who have attempted in vain to break free of her self appointed doctrines.

Having thus been baptized into Jesus death and into his Name Acts 2:38 a son or daughter converted by the adoption of the Holy Spirit, as an heir to the kingdom one then submits themselves though being the heir of all God has, they offer themselves a servant willing to serve, even willing to wash the feet of those who we serve in Christ's stead when necessary. It's not about self, or "look who I am, and what I can do, or how I'm blessed" its about the ministry of Jesus Christ working through the adopted sons and daughters to bring the Good News of Salvation and Healing to the souls of others, to bring them through the leading, and Spirit of Jesus Christ, into God's family, and Christ's rest.

If your Church Congregation or Bible Study Group, thinks it's below you as a brother, sister or minister respectively of Jesus Christ to serve them and wash their feet, or rather you think they are to be your servants, then you probably are not qualified nor deserving of the title, to serve as Christ's ambassador. Many intentionally and even unintentionally exalt themselves by taking credit for work that Christ alone has done. One who exalts themselves above Christ and discredits the character of Christ by speaking in Christ's stead, and yet disgraces Christ through their actions is likely to find themselves a tool in the hand of an anti-Christ spirit. These types minister so that they will in return be ministered too, leaning on cobwebs and reeds, these are building a Corporate-kingdom of worldly respect, by appearance, and worldly assets, a monument to themselves of wood, hay and stubble, and they have went out of the Holy City of God as a stranger to the widows, the fatherless, the poor, the hungry and unredeemed, being blind to the Truth of Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom, and having neglected God's progeny and heritage they may find at the conclusion of their days that they have missed the Kingdom of God and their calling all together.

Lets all pray together for more of Christ and his kingdom and less of man and his follies.
