I supported leadership in my local church and denomination for 37years thinking they were led by the Holy Spirit. They did not stand against false prophets and protect the sheep, couldn’t recognize the wolves in sheep’s clothing but treated me as the enemy. I met 3 times with pastor, showed him research on these false prophets, Scriptures, and his conclusion was I was a heresy hunter. My eyes were finally opened. I submitted to men I thought were led by the Lord, but found out I was following men led by their own ambitions.
I repented and continue to do so. I did not test everything as Scripture admonished me to, I Thess. 5:21. My litmus test is now Scripture alone, by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone.
Christians have to find out the glue that holds them together. They think it is Christ alone, but if they can no longer worship together, or fellowship or have their ministry will their life fall apart? Better to find that out on this side of heaven even if it turns your world upside down for a while, Christ and His Word will right the ship.
