3. The Church is the Church
Matthew 18:15-17 Please understand this principle, so many do not.
Matthew 28:18-20 Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth. The use of the word “kingdom” in Matthew 13:41, is used in a universal sense.
It is a grave error to twist Matthew 13:38,41, into some kind of foundation for a false application that would prohibit the exposure of sin among members of the church! 2 Peter 2:1-3; 3:15-16; 1 Corinthians 5:13

4. Why do Christians Superimpose “Christian traits” on Worldly People?
Ephesians 5:11
Thinking the best of People regardless of what they do?
Hiding other’s faults, even when they don’t repent?
Be longsuffering no matter what, even if they have rejected God’s word?
Be Merciful – “Even if God doesn’t seem to be?”
Following the 3 F’s!
Don’t Fight, Don’t Flee, Just Flow!
Just go along to get along?

5. Are There Christians in Every Church?
Does every church belong to Christ regardless of what they call themselves or practice? John 14:6; Luke 6:46; Acts 4:12
“Does it really matter what you believe as long as you believe in Jesus?” “just preach the Man, and not the Plan!” Mark 8:38

6. Does it really matter what you believe as long as you believe in God?
James 2:18
Is there anything that anyone could do to be lost? 2 John 9-11; Matt.7:21-23; Eph.5:11
Bruce, of the Jewish Faith had a question for those who called themselves Christians?
