WHY BEING A CHRISTIAN CANNOT BE CLAIMED, BUT ONLY DEMONSTRATED?

It has virtually become fashionable, for most of us to claim to be Christian. More so on the basis of ‘not only being a member’ of any professing to be a church of Jesus Christ or a church of God. But also on the basis of ‘our conforming to whatever that church’s prescribed’ regulations, programs or traditions, which the church teaches as God’s requirements.

However, most probably the Word church did not biblically exist, until Jesus Christ mentioned it after His then disciple Peter had responded to the question of ‘who Jesus Christ was’ per Matthew 16 verses 13-19;

“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah (or the Christ), the Son of the living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Verse 18 specifies that on this rock (of the revelation that Jesus was the Messiah Christ, the son of the living God), Jesus Christ was to build His church, which the gates of Hell will not overcome. Whilst in verse 20 Jesus confirms that, whoever has and pursues the fulfilment of this heavenly revelation ‘of Jesus being the Messiah or the Christ Son’ of the living God. That person will have the keys (or unhindered authority and power), to loose or bind anything in both heaven and earth. Which unhindered authority and power, enables the person ‘to access or restrain whatever one desires’ both on earth and in heaven.

Accordingly, both verses 18 and 19 confirm that Jesus Christ’s building His all gates of hell overcoming church, is His giving to ‘any Christhood or Messiaship of Jesus believing’ person, the unlimited power and authority ‘to access or restrain whatever the person desires’ both on earth and in heaven. This explains why all the Matthew to Revelation New Testament teachings, can be summarised as God’s bringing every willing person worldwide. Into the Oneness, of the Revelation 5 verses 5-12, Romans 8 verses 28-39 or Hebrews chapters 7 to 10 ‘Christhood or High Priesthood of Jesus Christ availed and demonstrated’ accessing of all power and authority in all heaven and earth. As led and taught by the indwelling Holy Spirit presence of God himself, which God sends to all the earth per Revelation 5 verse 6, in ‘the name of the all people redeeming and enthroning’ salvation faith of Jesus Christ. These scriptures highlight this redeeming enthronement, as the purchasing and making all people of the earth ‘to become their creation time God prior-planned earthly ruling and God serving’ kingdom and priesthood vessels. Whom nothing in all creation can restrain, from accessing and extending to all willing people worldwide. Whatever ‘their desired salvation or victory bringing’ Word of God’s boundless power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.

Throughout His earthly life mission and ministry, Jesus Christ taught the Matthew 28 verses 18-20 maturing and commissioning teachings, which demonstrated to all His disciples or to all His salvation faith believers, how ‘the building of Jesus Christ’s all gates of hell overcoming church’ was to be done. Through all the believers being discipled and commissioned ‘for also discipling and commissioning’ additional increasing people worldwide. By teaching them ‘to obey all things’ that Jesus Christ taught, as led taught by their Jesus Christ availed and baptised into ‘leading and teaching of the indwelling Holy Spirit’ presence of God.

Accordingly, the only purpose for any person to become a member of any bonafide church of Jesus Christ, is for one to receive the teachings of Jesus Christ. So that one grows, the Jeremiah 32 verses 32-41 or Ephesians 4 verses 12-13 ‘Jesus Christ demonstrated unity of faith and knowledge driven’ capacity. Which matures and commissions the person ‘within the Jesus Christ demonstrated three-year disciple crop harvest’ period, to not only pursue whatever one’s desired earthly life advancing dream, vision or aspiration. But to also extend to other increasing people, whatever one’s grown to or experienced Word of God’s boundless power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing. Any person who does not grow to this ‘unity of faith and knowledge driven or unity of heart and action driven’ deliverance, will remain as the Ephesians 4 verse 14 or 2 Timothy 3 verse 7 ‘always learning but never growing’ or ‘endlessly tossed back and forth’ mere religious or church child. Who claims the 2 Timothy 3 verses 5 form of Christian Faith godliness, which denies one ‘the power of Jesus Christ’s faith and knowledge driven and maturing and commissioning’ teachings. Due to the claimed godliness being based on ‘only one’s sustained attendance of and conformity’ to, the Colossians 2 verses 4, 8 and 16-23 ‘self-imposed worship and false humility driven,appearing wise and yet deceiving’ human made religious or church teaching schemes, regulations, programs or traditions. Which are mostly camouflaged by the Hebrews 5 verses 13 and 6 verses 1-2 ‘never maturing and never commissioning’ elementary salvation or milk only teachings.

All the disciples or followers of Jesus Christ demonstrated their not having remained, as ‘the always learning but never growing and tossed back and forth’ mere religious or church children. By their Matthew to Revelation teaching of increasing people worldwide, whatever their grown to or experienced teachings of Jesus Christ. It was only because of their teaching ‘their experienced teachings of Jesus’ to increasing people, that the Acts 11 verse 26 apostles ‘were first called Christians’ at Antioch. Therefore, being a Christian cannot be simply claimed, but can only be demonstrated. And the demonstration can only be through any person’s 1 Corinthians 12 verses 4-31 or Ephesians 4 verses 4-16 growing and extending to others, the ‘Jesus Christ availed and taught’ maturing and commissioning capacity, to access whatever one’s desired Word of God’s boundless power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.

It is accordingly most tragic, that most people are deceiving themselves. By merely claiming to be Christian, while they remain as ‘the always learning but never growing and tossed back and forth’ mere religious or church children.
