• 1)  The local churches are preparing the people for the coming of the Tribulation and the antichrist leading the one world religion. II Corinthians 11:1+ - that is exactly what Paul was afraid of - another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel deceiving people!
• 2)  The local churches today are following Jewish teachings / becoming fables if taught today - Titus 1:14
• 3)  The local churches today are becoming part of the synagogue of Satan - Revelation 3:9
• 4)  The local church is becoming nothing more than part of a vain empty religion today - they have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof - and are full of lost people instead of truly saved folks, of whom are starving because an influx of salvation messages only - as false as many of them are, too!  II Timothy 3:1-9; James 1:27
• 5)  The local church has become designed around the wrong dispensational design and is subverting souls all across America as well as the world, including most of the mission fields. Acts 2:41-47; II Corinthians 11:1-4, 13-15; Acts 15:24; II Timothy 2:14; Titus 1:11.
• Remember, the Great Commission emphasis began on the Mission Field and came into America through the Baptist Church's Mission Programs through the missionary William Carey - father of modern missions.
• Mission fields needed miracles, wonders, etc.
• They got them - against Scriptures, though!
• They brought the 'success' back to America!
• And now all of America subscribes to the Great Commission!
• Even those preachers and pastors who preached against it just a few years ago!
• All for 'gain,' because to them, gain is godliness!

• Universal Church - it does exist!
• Invisible church if you want to call it that...
• They make a mess of trying to define it and go against it - even just trying to explain what it is...
• Catholic?
• No - but isn't the way the devil operates is to have a false copy of what God has for real?
• The Catholic church is based around the pope - the universal true church is based around Jesus Christ!
• Ephesians 5:23-32
• The Local Church - Scripturally rightly divided!
• Ephesians 4:11-16
• II Timothy 4:32-5
• I Timothy 4:1,2
• I Timothy 3:14,15
• The Home Church
• Should just be the same as a local - just a different building...
• National Movement is a false teaching church direction - has only led to the emerging church.
• Just outside leaders coming into your home... no fatherly control, etc.
• The Emerging Church Movement
• This is a trend to transform traditional biblical churches into a new emerging model and they are employing many tactics toward that end.
• "God has been birthing in the hearts of Christians all over the world to break out of their existing molds and find better ways to be the Church in our unique settings."
• One tactic is to create doubts and to bring about a re-thinking process, but they don’t lead the individual back to the Bible for the answers.
• Another tactic is to get churches to see themselves through the eyes of the world and to encourage them to adapt to this viewpoint.
• Another tactic that the emerging church uses to bring change is to promote contradictory doctrinal positions.
• Totally of the devil to get the 'church' to follow another Jesus to Revelation 6, not 19.

• The obvious divisions that has created so many denominations! I Corinthians 1:10,11
• The obvious divisions that are created by so many different bibles!
• The influence and power of fleshy music that has overtaken the truth, etc.
• The local bible church thinking it is the bride of Christ - each on its own.
• They are to follow the pattern of the universal church!  (I don't mean the catholic church, either) Ephesians 5
• Paul is to be the pattern for the local church! Ephesians 4:11-16
• Paul's ways are to be taught in every church! I Corinthians 4:17
• Did not start in Matthew 16:16-19 with Peter!  Christ is the head!
• Paul preached kingdom of God, not kingdom of heaven.
• The gates of hell have, are and continue to prevail against the local assemblies, but not the true body of Christ!
• We are to avoid genealogy stuff - apostolic succession whether Catholic or Baptist, "Trail of Blood," etc. Just can't get yourself to 'quit' THAT church.
• The false design of the local church - Acts 2:42-47
• The false use of today's 'worship' in the local church - Acts 19:22-30
• They reacted to Paul today like they did in his days!
• Acts 19:18-21
• Acts 13:50
• Acts 14:2
• Women are out of order
• Daniel 11:37; Acts 13:50; I Timothy 2:12; etc.
• There is a huge Jewish flavoring taking place within the churches
• temples
• Johns water baptisms
• signs such as wonders, healings, etc.
• pastors having popish type authority over the people
• church claims of being holy and untouchable
• required attendance
• fleshy music as a main element of the service
• following apostles doctrine
• following Peter - apostle to the circumcision
• Disciples Lord's Supper
• big on genealogy and church fathers
• Peter James and John in the sailboat
• following the Gospels and Great Commission along with Hebrews to Jude as the books that are used!
• We are warned about following Jewish fables! Titus 1:14
• We are warned about people who say they are Jews being part of the Synagogue of Satan - Revelation 3:9
• Part of the falling away - II Thessalonians 2:1-3

• False Teachers
• Ministers of Righteousness
• The Preaching another Jesus
• The Preaching another gospel
• The Preaching another Spirit
• Extortioners in the pulpits
• Evil men and seducers, deceiving and being deceived - and are waxing worse and worse!

• good words and fair speeches - Romans 16:18
• vain words - Ephesians 5:6
• adults are just 'children' in the churches today - Ephesians 4:14
• wrong righteousness - their own instead of God's own!  II Corinthians 11:130-15
• world philosophies - Colossians 2:8
• enticing words of man's wisdom - I Corinthians 2:4,5
• wisdom of words - I Corinthians 1:17
• lots of reasoning - Luke 24:15,16
• pleasures - II Timothy 3:3
• extortion tactics - Gospel and Tribulation consequences for doing wrong.
• church-face type eyeservice and menpleasers, etc. - Ephesians 6:6
• Baptist and Great Commission designed emphasis and manipulating
• Music as much of a power as in Daniel 3
• Women out of order I Timothy 2:12
• Pastoral final authority - Hebrews 13:17
• Attendance requirements - Hebrews 10:25
• as we near tribulation, we hear more great words of swelling and vanity - II Peter 2:18,19 & Jude 16

Of course, fist try the grace, mercy, longsuffering, etc.; then say something; then say something harder; then admonish; rebuke, etc.
But if those don't work, then you must DO something!  GET OUT!  Find or start a Paul following group of folks that are willing to rightly divide a KJB and put together an Ephesians 4:11-16 bunch of folks.
