| ARGUMENT- You are not suppose to call names of people out in public like that. You are suppose to go to them in private first right? How can you do that and call yourselves Christians? |
RESPONSE - Our church is plagued with fear to expose the truth. When it’s the truth that the word says makes you free! We at EX Ministries may call out a few names of Christians that do things contrary to the teaching of Jesus in the church and people think we are judging them. But the information we give it is on the internet, in magazines, and other forms of media, yet for some reason, when we repeat it, people call that judging and are ready to cut our throats! We are only bringing clarity to things that are said and done that are contrary to the Word! Isn't that our job? People act like it's OUR FAULT that some of the people we use as examples are doing the things they do against the truth. We receive vicious threats and profane emails everyday from people defending various "Gospel" artists or ministers because of things that they themselves are doing that do not line up with scripture. We are living in a sad day when people will fight to protect their favorite singers rather than stand up for the truth of the Word of God. And whatever happened to that thing we used to have as saints of God called DISCERNMENT? I guess so many are caught up in sin until they don't want anyone discerning them so they cancel that ability as a saint. Check the bible people! Stating the truth is what Jesus taught us to do. Paul called out people publicly for what they did. Some to their face (Peter in Galatians 2:14) and some he called out when they were not present to warn people of their contrary deeds (Hymenaeus and Alexander in 1Timothy 1:20). Now, had their contrary deeds been done privately, then I’m sure Paul would have dealt with them privately. But when it’s done openly, it requires open rebuke according to the word.So don’t get disturbed when you hear that someone is doing something they shouldn’t. We are the body of Christ and we are to keep each other lifted up when we fall. We are to keep the lines of the Kingdom of God visible according to the word and we are to keep guard that the enemy cannot infiltrate. Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. That means that we must close off all doors or openings that the enemy seeks to enter into the church. Make sure you keep a good understanding about the word and know that we do not judge the world, but we have people that God has called to judge his people. Pastor, prophets, etc, are here to state truth and judge situations that require it in the church of God. PROOF - Understand the bible! Understand that people are going for TV, radio, movies etc. and they are seeking fame. But when you are famous and you error on that level, then you must be corrected on that level. This is so that all that followed your error will be properly warned and can receive the truth of the matter. You see, many are making music, recording media (dvd/cd) and once this stuff is out, it's out! You can't take it back and you cannot right all the wrong because so many people were affected by the error. So, this is why the scripture tells us to confront before all in certain instances because all need to know the truth of the matter. Don't get caught up in the hype. Many do not teach this because they are afraid of exposure. It doesn't seem right to our modern day belief system because we live in a time where we don't like to expose the truth. We live in a time where people would rather be quiet and just allow the devil run free without any warning. But if you are a true reader and believer of the Word, you know that EX Ministries method of exposing truth is biblical and sound. Only those that do not read and understand the Word have a problem with it. SCRIPTURE - 1Tim. 5:20 Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful of sinning. |
