Saint vs sinner

Saint... 

If you are a saint, you are not a sinner. 

If you are a sinner, you are not a saint. 

You either a saint or a sinner. 

There is no such thing as "saved sinner" who remain powerless against sin and continue living ungodly, unholy life, a life of unending repent-repeat cycles of disobedience. 

The Body of Christ aka Church of Christ aka Church of God is the Church of Saints and not of sinners. 

It's not a congregation of the ungodly, unholy, sinners but of the righteous and holy people of God.

Psalms 1:5 (KJV)  

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Christ is Holy holy holy. 

As Christ is holy so is His Body, His Church. 

His Body, His Church is composed of righteous and holy people, of the saints of God.

Romans 11:16 (KJV)  

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)  

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS.

The Lord Christ Jesus reign as King in His Kingdom, the Kingdom of God.

Being the King of peace, holiness and righteousness... 

Peace, holiness and righteousness therefore dominates and reign in the lives of every Kingdom citizens, of the saints, of the holy peculiar people of God.

Kingdom of God isn't a religion... 

Inside the Kingdom of Christ... 

Saints aka Kingdom citizens donot call themselves Catholics which means Catholic church.

Saints donot call themselves Wesleyans which means Wesleyan church. 

Saints donot call themselves Baptists which means Baptist church.

Saints donot call themselves Methodists, Presbyterians, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons etc etc. 

Just like Judaism religion where there was three prominent sects called Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducces...

Catholics, Wesleyans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians etc etc are all sects of the man made christianity religion.

The religious Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducces who were all blind and destitute of the truth becomes enemies of the Truth, enemies of the apostles and disciples of the Lord Christ Jesus.

Religious individuals who are only born of religion and denominations always resist the light of the truth and becomes enemies of the saints. 

They perfectly represent the "world" which lieth in wickedness and darkness who hated the saints, hated the born of God people.

1 John 3:9, 13 (KJV)

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

What religious people did to the King of Kings, to the Lord Christ Jesus is what they do the saints, to the citizens of the Kingdom of God.

John 15:18-20 (KJV)  

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also.

The Lord Christ Jesus is the light and His saints becomes the lights of the world that lieth in darkness. 

Saints are the light of the world. 

Matthew 5:14 (KJV)  

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 (KJV)  

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

As light exposed those who are in darkness... 

Religious people aka people who are only born of religion and denominations hated the saints of God because of the words of truth hath exposed their hypocrisy in professing to believe, to know and serve God while never ceasing from sin and living a life of unending repent-repeat cycles of disobedience.

They condemn themselves by rejecting, hating, persecuting those who are the lights.

John 3:19-21 (KJV)  

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Are you in the light, in Christ ❓

Or are you walking and living in darkness who never cease from stumbling in sin❓

John 11:9-10 (KJV)

If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

People who are only born of religion and denominations keep stumbling in darkness because they are only ever learning in letters but not in Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:7 (KJV)  

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

They are ever learning and memorizing scriptures to suit and defend their lifestyle of repent-repeat cycles of sin. 

They have theological concept of salvation aka head knowledge salvation but lack the experiential salvation. 

You cannot be a saint and a sinner simultaneously. 

Sinners cannot grow in holiness and righteousness. 

No one grows in holiness and righteousness without being transformed by the power of God into a saint, without being born in holiness and righteousness first and foremost.

The concept of a "saved sinner" who continues to live a life of sin is a contradiction in terms. 

It's a convenient fiction, heresy and comforting lie of the devil used to comfort those who want to cling to their sin while pretending to be in Christ. 

Be enlightened. 

Be a fellow citizen saints of God.

Awake to righteousness and sin not.

📣📣📣 NEWS PROPHECY UPDATE THE FORMING OF AN ABOMINABLE ALLIANCE ⚠️⏰‼️.

Daniel and Revelation need to be read together in order to understand end time prophecy more fully. They both compliment each other and speak of the same power (the Papacy) that would rise up and control the world. For instance, in order to understand who the beasts of Revelation 13 are, you need a knowledge of the 'kingdoms' of Daniel 7, and more specifically, the 'little horn power' which would arise from the fourth beast.

Now look at what Revelation 17 says:

Revelation 17:12-13 ...'And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.'

The ten toes correspond with the ten horns on the beast of Revelation 17. The beast is the Papal Church of Rome and the ten horns are the "kings" (kingdoms) which give their power to the Papacy in the last days. This is what God is showing us through the feet and toes on the image in Daniel 2 and the horns on the beast in Revelation 13 & 17. There will be a confederacy of ruling civil powers in the last days with the strength of iron, who will give their power to the Roman Catholic beast, which is symbolized by the mixing of iron and "dirty" clay.

Catholicism is that corrupt, apostate religion with which the kings of the earth have united within the past to form an abominable alliance. And in the last days we will also see Protestant churches that have become apostates unite with Rome and other religions in this global confederacy with the civil powers. A cry of unity is being spread all around the world today and that cry will get louder and louder until the Papal Church receives it's power from the "kings of the earth". Then we will see the enforcement of the mark of the beast.

Jesus said that His kingdom is NOT OF THIS WORLD (John 18:36). Therefore we are NOT to unite with the civil powers or any other kingdom of this world. God's true servants are to remain separate.

The Roman empire was the last world civil power to rule the world. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome were all world ruling empires. But God revealed in the feet of Nebuchadnezzar's image that there would never be another single civil power ruling the world. The feet show us that from the division of Rome the world would remain partly broken until the second coming. But what we will see, as Revelation 17 points out is the kings of the earth giving their civil power to a church, which will usher in another "dark ages" where "religious" laws (mark of the beast) will be enforced under penalty of death.

The good news is that this allegiance will only last a short time as Revelation 17 reveals. And there is only ONE KINGDOM that will last and that is the Kingdom of God, represented by the rock that comes down from heaven to smash all the worldly kingdoms to pieces. Then the saints will reign and live forever with our Lord Jesus Christ. Are you ready to enter that kingdom? Galatians 3:29 says ...'If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.' Do you have a daily relationship with Christ Jesus, the coming King? Do you love His character? Are you walking in His footsteps and by His grace obeying His teachings and commandments? If not, then you need to take heed of the warning Jesus gave in Luke 19:27 ...'But those Mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before Me.'

Bible prophecy is certain friends! What God has said, WILL be done. Please seek the truth and surrender your ALL to our Lord Jesus Christ. The final events of prophecy are fulfilling, and we MUST be ready in Christ. Time is running out! God is calling. Will you heed the call?

Please give your all to Jesus Christ today! (Mark 12:30)

📣📣📣 THE PAPAL CHURCH OF ROME BOAST FOR CHANGING THE WEEKLY SABBATH DAY TRUTH INFRONT OF YOUR FACE ⚠️⏰‼️

Daniel 7:25 ...'And he [the little horn] shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws.'

So the Roman Catholic Church would think to change "time" and the law of God. Did they ever do this? Yes. If you take a look at the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments, you will see that they have made changes to the commandments of God (think to change law). And the Roman Catholic Church boast that it is they who changed the weekly sabbath day from the 7th day to the 1st (think to change time), of which there is no Biblical authority for any such change. Take a look at the following quotes with regards to this sabbath "change".

- "Question. Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept?

Answer. Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her.- she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." (Doctrinal Catechism, Rev. Stephen Keenan (Kenedy, New York), p. 174).

- "Question. How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holy days?

Answer. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church.

Question. How prove you that?

Answer. Because by keeping Sunday they acknowledge the church's power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin." (The Douay Catechism, Abridgment of Christian Doctrine (Kenedy, New York), p. 58).

"As Pope Benedict says, Sunday is not just a suspension of ordinary activities, but a time when 'Christians discover the Eucharistic form that their lives are meant to have.' The way we celebrate Sunday will affect the way we live the remainder of the week and is a mark of Christian identity from generation to generation." (Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, Pastoral Letter, November 20, 2011 ).

So the Roman Catholic Church (little horn of Daniel 7) is guilty of changing the law of God. The very commandments that the saints of Revelation 14:12 are keeping which stops them from receiving the mark of the beast. And remember, the issue of the mark of the beast is all to do with worship and obedience. Will we worship and obey the beast and receive it's mark, or worship and obey God? Don't think that you will need to get down on your knees to worship the beast. All you will need to do is give allegiance to the beast and accept it's authority over God, and this would be deemed as worship.

So is the mark of the beast to do with Sunday worship? Yes, but not yet, as Sunday has not yet been enforced as a day of rest yet. But the Roman Catholic Church, along with many other churches and institutions, including trade unions, are now actively pushing for a Sunday law to be enforced as a national and international day of rest. And this is in direct opposition to the sabbath rest that God instituted during creation week. And this places the authority of the Roman Catholic Church above the authority of our Heavenly Father. Which of course is an abomination!

The 4th commandment concerning the seventh day sabbath is the ONLY commandment that tells us who it is we worship. It tells us that we worship the Creator of heaven and earth. It is the central commandment that connects God with mankind, and it contains the seal of God of which the end time saints receive. So anyone who accepts the Sunday law that is going to be enforced will be giving their allegiance and worship to the beast (Roman Catholic Church) instead of God. Then they will be marked (spiritually) with the mark of the beast, either in their forehead, or in their hand. The forehead represents the group of people who freely make their decision in their minds and give their loyalty to the beast, ie., professing Christians who accept the "authority" of the Roman Catholic Church. The hand represents the group of people who just go along with it because of economic pressure, and their actions are in accordance with the mark of the beast, ie., non believers. Which is why it says they get the mark in their foreheads OR their hand.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17 -->

WHAT CHRISTENDOM HAS MISSED  

In the verses below, Paul tells us our home is in Heaven (Israel's home is on the Earth). 

Paul tells us that we walk by FAITH, and not by sight (But, the Jews required a sign).  

Paul tells us we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. 

Paul brings up "terror of the Lord," and our consciences.  

Paul says we should not live for ourselves, but unto him which died for us, and rose again. 

THEN, Paul tells us NOT to follow Christ's Earthly ministry, because we are a NEW CREATURE. 

Please, read it for yourself, below.

Apostle Paul Writes To The 

Church The Body of Christ: 

2 Corinthians 5:1 (KJV) For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

17 Therefore if any man be IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

.

.

.

Yes, the 12 were IN Christ, but they weren't members of the New Creature, the Body of Christ. 

The 12 were members of the Nation of Israel. 

Paul was the FIRST member of the Church the Body of Christ (1Tim. 1:15-16 KJV.  

The Body of Christ and the Nation of Israel are the TWO DIFFERENT AGENCIES OF GOD. 

Nation of Israel =

God's EARTHLY people. 

Body of Christ = 

God's HEAVENLY people. 

In the book of Acts BOTH PROGRAMS were active at the same time, because God gradually DIMINISHED Israel's Prophecy-Law program, as He worked, through PAUL, to form and establish the Body of Christ's Mystery-Grace program. 

By the end of the book of Acts, Israel's program is completely shut down: it's temporarily PAUSED for God's purposes with the New Creature, the Church the Body of Christ, for this dispensation of GRACE. 

After we're raptured out of here, God will restart Israel's Prophecy-Law program and resume His dealings with the Jews and the world. And, it won't be pretty. 

Meanwhile, we'll be in Heaven, saved from the wrath to come. 

We're not part of Israel in any way, except for the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Lord and Saviour in BOTH programs! 

We the BODY OF CHRIST 

... have received God's word a different way.

... have a different gospel. 

... have a different doctrine. 

... have a different walk. 

... have a different ministry.

... have a different purpose. 

... have a different destination.

PAUL WRITES: 

Romans 12:5 (KJV) So we, being many, are one body IN Christ, and every one members one of another.  

1 Corinthians 12:27 (KJV) NOW YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, and members in particular. 

Colossians 1:24 (KJV) Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of CHRIST my flesh for his BODY's sake, which is THE CHURCH:

25 WHEREOF I AM MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE DISPENSATION OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO ME FOR YOU, to fulfil the word of God;

26 EVEN THE MYSTERY, which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 

Ephesians 3:1 (KJV) For this cause I PAUL, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 If ye have heard of THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD: 

3 How that by revelation HE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE MYSTERY; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4 WHEREBY, WHEN YE READ, YE MAY UNDERSTAND MY KNOWLEDGE IN THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST) 

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise IN Christ BY THE GOSPEL:

7 WHEREOF I WAS MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN UNTO ME by the effectual working of his power.

8 UNTO ME, who am less than the least of all saints, IS THIS GRACE GIVEN, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 TO THE INTENT THAT NOW UNTO THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS IN HEAVENLY PLACES MIGHT BE KNOWN BY THE CHURCH [ i.e. the New Creature, the Body of Christ ] THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD,

crowns

Five different types of crowns

1. Crown of Righteousness

2 Timothy 4:8: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

This is a crown for every person who loves the appearing of Jesus Christ like Timothy. A crown for those ready and waiting for Jesus Christ coming. Righteousness is only by faith.

Romans 3:24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:5: For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Philippians 3:9: And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

Crown of Righteousness is a crown for every righteous person through grace by faith.

Salvation is by grace alone through faith and every person in Jesus Christ is justified and righteous, and waiting for the final salvation when Jesus appears. The crown of righteousness is for every saved person.

2. Incorruptible crown

1 Corinthians 9:25: And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

Incorruptible crown is a crown for people who brought their body unto subjection, disciplined their body and had self-control.

1 Corinthians 9:24–25: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

1 Corinthians 9:26–27: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Paul uses the word ‘temperate’ meaning self – control and he explains that it is through keeping the body into subjection that you receive an incorruptible crown.

3. Crown of life

James 1:12: Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Revelation 2:10: Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Crown of life is a crown for people who have patiently endured trials, testing and persecution. It is for the people who bravely confront persecution for Jesus Christ even to the point of death.

4. Crown of glory

1 Peter 5:2–4: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.

Crown of glory is a crown for every person who feeds the flock; – the pastors, apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, ministers and every person carrying out the great commission.

It is a crown for the Peter's, Paul's, John's and every God’s servant preaching the Gospel to every creature. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15.

This is the crown I am fighting for, remaining strong in faith and preaching the gospel no matter what comes my way as I strongly guard my crown. My heart rejoices when I remember the great reward awaiting me in heaven; the crown of Glory.

5. Crown of Rejoicing

1 Thessalonians 2:19: For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

The Crown of rejoicing will be our crown where ‘God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away’ Revelation 21:4.

It is a crown for every saint; every saved person. Salvation is by grace alone through faith!

There are people who will have more than one type of crowns in heaven. Which is or which are your crowns?
