Who do you follow?

Church hopping

Q: I'm a youth worker at my church. In the last couple of months, two associate pastors left the church because the leadership was doing things that weren't right, non-biblical. Should I leave or stay? Daniel

A: You also mentioned that the senior leaders didn't respond properly when informed of serious sin in their midst.

How you can be led
by the Spirit of God

Ask the Lord to help you to write them a letter, with relevant Scriptures, explaining why you are considering leaving. Pray that the Lord grants them wisdom, and true repentance. Be sure to get confirmation from Him that you should leave, if they do not repent promptly and fully.

It isn't church-hopping, there's only one Church. Fellowships often go off, and believers are to follow Christ, not men. So, go where He leads you. Learn to depend upon Christ, not your fellowship, and you'll never be dismayed.

White hat cult?

Q: What is the cult that wear a white silk bonnet, and no pants for women. I see a lot of them in Indiana. Veronica

A: That's a new one on me, I don't know. There's lots of cults in America. It's what it was established for originally. Almost the entire nation now belongs to the Uncle Sam cult, and is doomed. Look how easily Satan led them into the snare of invading Iraq. We warned loudly beforehand that it was the antiChrist spirit they are following. Can any sensible person doubt it now? Lying phoney 'Christian' leaders coveting power and oil, a million dead, a worse failure than Vietnam.

Back to your white hat cult: There's some legalistic Christian fellowships that insist women wear hats, and prohibit them from wearing trousers, based on misunderstanding Scripture. That's all cleared up in The Woman Question.

Cart before the horse?

Q: I got baptized a year ago, accepting Jesus as my Saviour, however now I have a lot of doubts that make God and Jesus seem far away. I attend church, and my friends are so happy in Jesus. I cannot talk to my friends about this. I don't know what is going on with me. I would like to hear from you. Soni

A: Wrong order Soni, you must accept Jesus as Saviour, and then get baptised afterwards. Perhaps you are misled into believing that water baptism is when you are saved: No! You must be born again before you are baptised, or it is a useless ritual. Water baptism plays no part whatsoever in salvation. The cults object to this Gospel fact, so here's how to deal with questions cults ask about baptism. (See the bottom section).

If however, you were genuinely saved before you were baptised, and you are simply struggling in your walk, then here's a series of articles that will really help you, and others, stuck Between a Rock and a hard place.

In addition, some people become stagnant pools of water, instead of bubbling streams, because they don't let this good stuff out. That is why He said: Freely you have received, freely give. Mtt. 10:8. Remember why the Dead Sea is dead, and why the Sea of Galilee teems with life. If you don't know, ask.

Backslid

Q: I was born again, baptised in the Holy Spirit, and on fire for God. Sadly, now I am weak, I hardly pray in tongues as I do not have the power in my life anymore. What shall I do? Molly

A: Repent, ask Jesus to forgive you, and follow Him more closely. Here's how to become strong in the Lord.

How can I be sure?

Q: How can I be sure that I have really been born-again? Ben

A: When you have the Bible evidence of salvation, you have proof nobody can gainsay.
