Greetings brethren!
I want to share what I learnt in today's mass indoctrination.
The book of 1 John 5:16;If you see a believer commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray to God, who will give that person life. This applies to those whose sins do not lead to death. But there is sin which leads to death, and I do not say that you should pray to God about that.
If our brother in Christ commits sin which is not unto death. we are commanded to pray for him to be forgiven and be given life.
Our Bible condemned those praying for those that their sin is unto death. Some termed it being merciful.
You are not merciful that way, but disobedient to God.If a sin is unto death, it can no longer be forgiven.
When we see our brothers commiting sin we should do what the book of Titus 3:10 said"Give at least two warnings to those who cause divisions, and then have nothing more to do with them".
If you didn't heed to this warning of rejecting or removing the brother from your chuch, it will cause defilement to the church and every person in it.
So we should expel the brethren that committed sin that is unto death, to avoid defiling the church.
What are the sins that is unto death, they include;
According to the book of Matthew 12:32, it saysAnyone who says something against the Son of Man can be forgiven; but whoever says something against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven---now or ever.
Also the book of Mark 3:29, it says"But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin."
Some churches does not expel members that commited mortal sin, why?
It is because they are just after the holidays offering that the brethren gives.
The book of Acts 15:29 said"
eat no food that has been offered to idols; eat no blood; eat no animal that has been strangled; and keep yourselves from sexual immorality. You will do well if you take care not to do these things. With our best wishes."
Let's read Revelation 17:15 it says""The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth". This is an image of wrong religion.
You are not allowed to commit fornication with her, knowing that it is wrong. That's fornication against the holy Spirit.
Then 1 Corinthians 6:16 says "Or perhaps you don't know that the man who joins his
body to a prostitute becomes physically one with her? The scripture says quite plainly, "The two will become one body."
So being one with wrong religion is fornication against the holy Spirit.
We already have spouse. Our spouse is christ. Do not join other God's anymore, that is fornication.
Let's read II Corinthians11:2, "I am jealous for you, just as God is; you are like a pure virgin whom I have promised in marriage to one man only, Christ himself".
Let us not join the activities of wrong religion, because that is fornication.
Keep in mind that there is not one specific sin that is unforgivable, such as lying, stealing or murder, but rather a perpetual hardening of the heart and willfully sinning against God and man (1 Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:15).
if a person still desires forgiveness and confesses their sins, those sins will be forgiven and blotted out. As long as you are under conviction, which is the Holy Spirit’s job (John 16:8) and you want to be forgiven you are not guilty of the unforgivable sin.
Thank you
