Haqi...
Have you ever heard these "puritan" principles of the true faith.
1. God alone is the Lord of the Conscience and has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men!
2. The Word of God alone is the only Rule of Faith and Practice
3. Salvation by Grace alone.

RE>>Just who called up such people? <<
God calls them through the Church... they are made manifest by His Grace and truth.
1Tim 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Also:
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught,, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
They are not to be young in the faith or life.
They are to be living lives that are of example to others.
They are to be well taught and holding fast the truth.
Christ has set rulers in His Church but you spurn them. |
