Hi B4U
First I'd like to say "Totally well said, CovLass" and can I just add another thought.
Quote
He wanted us to be at church all the time and influenced by other believers than at home or any where else where we could be influenced by unbelievers.
What kind of Christianity do you practice, B4U? Souls are not saved by closeting yourself inside four walls whether a church or a house - souls are ONLY saved by actively MIXING with 'unbelievers'. This is what the Bible tells us so I don't know where you get your beliefs from.
You cannot grow in the holy spirit unless you use your talents to help those around you and show them the grace of God working in your own life. 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself'. This means all of humanity and not just your family and next door neighbours. God didn't command the disciples to stay closeted in the upper room - he sent them out across many cities and countries to SPREAD the word of God.
It seems to me that your apostle Mike is looking for full control of his 'flock' and that's when you know corruption has already set in. This man is treating you like a puppet and teaching you in a completely un-Biblical way and you are happy to give up your own identity and your need for a personal relationship with God, for a charlattan control freak?
My advice is, read the Bible for yourself and do some research and learn the TRUE word of God instead of following a human being who quite obviously has a very warped idea of what the Bible teaches.
Much love and hugs
God bless
