Eph 4:13-15

"13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"

"13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"

Ephesians 4 Is one of the most powerful passages in scripture as it is written by Paul late in his ministry (A prison Epistle) and has some of the most mature instruction on faith to the church. My belief is that Paul foresaw what the eventual outcome of the church would be (the denominationalism of our day) and that this passage is directed to us in this generation more than any other.

14 that we should no longer be children,

1 Corinthians 13:11-13 KJV
11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

1 John 3:1-3 KJV
1) Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3) And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

Much Love!

This is what I have been preaching for a long time now....and it is happening.

People should always be aware of false doctrine. We have thousands of churches and they can't all be right so the vast majority are wrong. Christ should always be the head of our church. And he guides us thru the Holy Spirit and scripture towards truth.

Philippians 3:13-16 KJV
13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15) Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16) Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Much love!

Responding in Love will always be right.

Eph 4:13-15

"13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"

That is a very positive passage Cassy, although yet a long way off, it is a prophecy that will not go unfulfilled.

I can assure you, the part about being carried about with every wind of doctrine, is here now. It is even on this board.
