Communion
Lastly, as a disciple, don't be alone; learn to fellowship with other disciples. (By this shall all men know you are my disciples, if you love one another.)
A Christian is one in whom God resides. How can you say you love God but you hate your brother? Anyone who turns you away, turns away the Lord Himself.
Matthew 10:13-15 (KJV)
"[13] And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. [14] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
[15] Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."
Learn to clothe and feed other Christians, show love and hospitality.
Your pastor has a program; your brethren are coming from other parts of the world, and instead of you hosting them as you would the Lord, you are charging large sums of money. What happened to washing one another's feet?
You speak ill of other Christians. The Lord would ask you, "Why did you spread lies about Me? Why did you persecute Me?"
We are the body of Christ. The Lord's earnest desire for the church is oneness and unity, and until that unity returns, the Lord would not return. Until we are filled with love, we cannot be raptured. The Lord's grace is for the imperfect, but it is the perfect that would be raptured. It is love that perfects all things; God is love. The true mark of every disciple is brotherly love.
