Lone Ranger Christians
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Most of you already know I am a lone ranger servant of Jesus. I am a lone ranger because I want to be true to Jesus...Jesus says in the book of Revelation "come out of Babylon lest you share their guilt". I believe Jesus is talking about the organizations."
Satan would
love for Christians to be
disengaged--not attend services, not
participate in small groups, not
have an accountability partner.
It's important to be plugged in to
the community of believers.
"Re 18:4 Come out of her, my people.
God will call His own to disentangle
themselves from this evil system.
This may also be God’s calling the
elect to abandon the world system
and come to faith in the Savior. In
either case, the message is to
abandon the system before it is
destroyed (cf. 2 Cor. 6:17; 1 John
2:15). The judgment of God on that
society living in sinful, arrogant
self-indulgence can be avoided. Cf.
Isaiah’s and Jeremiah’s message to
their people to leave Babylon (Is.
48:20; Jer. 50:8; 51:6–9, 45)."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "All denominations, even non-denominational have false doctrines."
"True religion includes the way we live (James 1:27) but involves more than a set of rules or rituals. Without a relationship with Jesus Christ through faith, religion is insufficient for making us right with God..." Full text: True religion – What is it?
