How interesting....well I will leave it at that. If Ekklesia cannot speak His Word on the forum then this is a huge flag that needs to be tested whether it is of God or not.
Try posting something true, from a true prophet, and see what happens .....

perhaps it will be permitted ? Perhaps it will be exposed as false ? Or proven TRUE ?

Remember ATHENS, in ACTS ?
This is very much like then and there.

Ekklesia is not permitted to post freely on this forum.
They are not permitted to speak freely in the churches, almost anywhere.
If there is a true prophet, simply quote something he said. We can test it.
Not heard of the Ekklesia before, but on looking it up , it refers to those being ‘ called out ‘ - in others words those called into his kingdom , true believers . Please explain, where , and why , you feel that true believers cannot speak out on the forum. Where in scripture does it state that Gods people cannot speak out , it’s true that in some places persecution may come, but it doesn’t state that Gods people should remain quiet and unheard.

Jesus spoke always truthfully, bluntly, mercifully, gently, harshly, directly as the Father directed.
He taught His permanent disciples, born again ones, Ekklesia, likewise, right ?

Are you referring to the apostles ?
Called out could apply to anyone who is born again - not just the apostles

Excellent scriptures and it fits right in with what He is doing in His Church...we are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies! The Holy Spirit is giving supernatural boldness to stand for His Truth and empowering us to be strong in faith and obedience to His Word.
As I was writing this I saw you at the gates of His Holy Temple as a gatekeeper...a watch guard keeping out trespassers and spies...and those disguised as Christians but were actually the false prophets, false witnesses, false preachers and teachers who were trying to enter in and bring their lies into the Holy Place and corrupt it.

consider 1 Corinthians 13:10-13 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. [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 (remain)faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

with 2 Corinthians 3:14-18 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. [17] Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. [18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

“Then that which is in part shall be done away”: ”cease” “passes away” “vanish”...which vail is done away with in Christ. now abideth (remain), these three Faith, Hope, Charity. As He said “you may abide in Me, and I in you.” See your point of “let all things be done for edification” and “for the perfecting of the Saints.” Strengthen that which remains. And “you are complete in Him”.

FYI:
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (nicknamed "LDS Christians") do follow strive to follow Christ.
Just like Calvinists, other Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox, Etc.
There's differing beliefs about doctrine, but everyone is striving to follow Christ and it is He who saves.

The door is narrow because there is only 1 way to enter....it isn't broad so as to allow for all different sizes (doctrines) to come through. That's my take on it anyway.
