Without a doubt, "The TRUE Word of Faith Churches",
Although they aren't a denomination, They are people who accept the Biblical truths, The promises of God and do the works that Jesus said we would do.
The Apostle Paul was a word of faith Teacher, And Jesus was a faith Teacher, Who taught God's word,
So those who Teach the uncompromising word and faith, Do healings, miracles, Tongues, Prophecies And have the other gifts of the Spirit, Plus the fruits of the Spirit And do signs & wonders, Like the word of faith Churches do, Must be the closest to the Church that Jesus built.
They are the closest that I have seen.
Hey there, brother Alan,
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
What about those who do the will of their Father that are not in a "Word of Faith" church but are sprinkled amongst various churches worldwide?
These people that Christ is referring to would be "Stars", today! Don't you think?
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
I guess, we really just need to please the Lord and do His will and that will prove that we are abiding in Him (know Him).
It is important to know Him first and foremost, don't you think? How else do you have "oil in your lamp" if you are not abiding in Him? Abiding in Him proves you have the Holy Spirit. He that does not abide in Christ does not have the Holy Spirit.
2Jn_1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Aren't these the ones that truly represent the Lord, according to the OP?
1 Jn_5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
I hope the original poster comes back and gives us her comments on what has been posted.
