Too bad you didn’t Verify…Perhaps because it doesn’t apply to you…nor for you to understand.
Yes. Men Are the Church.
1 Cor 3:
[17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the
temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Yes. The Gospel was preached IN synagogues, long before “a group of men calling themselves “catholic” hijacked Christs Church,” building their church on “Peter and Mary”, unbeknownst to them.
Acts 13:
[13] Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
[14] But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
[15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers
of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
[16] Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
John 15:2
2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away;
Does that sound to you like a born again believer is saved forever??
Jesus wouldn't agree with you.
You are severely limited in Understanding… and make yourself look foolish, by name calling and snarking accusing rather than searching the Scriptures to Verify.
Straight off, I know by the Precise Language that verse is Expressly Speaking of a born again man.
What I know, And you do not, IS:
Every born again man, CAN receive Rewards “IF” they Glorify God Before other men…( ie. Produce fruits)…
“iF” a man Does Not, glorify God Before Other men…God takes away, does not Give Rewards He would have Given.
That verse has Nothing to do with Losing Salvation.
1 Cor 3:
[9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building.
[10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
[11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
[12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
[13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
[14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
[15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
[16]
Know ye not that ye/( the born again) are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
