"Where in the bible do we see believing followers of Christ going to the men of governments who exercise authority one over the other to take from your neighbor so you can have benefits for free? Would the followers of Christ be found coveting their neighbor's goods through the benefactors who exercise authority one over the other? Those who think they are already saved but still engaged and dependent upon the covetous practices of having one purse must be under a strong delusion.

Already saved

Someone in the Home Church movement asked "Ask your traditional friends this question. Where in the bible did a pastor preach a sermon in a church to a group of Christians who were already saved?"

There is something very vain and even dangerous about assuming that you are already saved which is why there are so many warnings in the Bible about being deceived and a strong delusion. We know that many will think they are saved and true believers but Christ will say get ye from me you workers of iniquity. We know that such lies[1] will become accepted that the whole world[2], even the very elect.[3] Are you already saved or just deceived?

Christ came and the apostles preached that we might be saved.[4]

There are many parables about people who count themselves saved and followers but were locked out,[5] sent away and even tied up and kicked out[6] because they had no inheritance in the kingdom though they thought they did,

It might be better if we ask ourselves more challenging questions which may get to the heart and soul[7] of the Gospel of the kingdom, "Where in the bible do we see believing followers of Christ going to the men of governments who exercise authority one over the other to take from your neighbor so you can have benefits for free?

Didn't Jesus forbid us to do that?"

Luke 22. 25. "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."

I think the small intimate group of ten families which Christ commanded and found in home Church groups is a good idea but if they are not following the way that Christ said for us to be and the early Christian community followed I am not sure we can say we are followers and believers of Christ.

I agree the large institutional churches are missing the true repentance mission of the gospel but home churches seem to be missing it too. This is why I think it would be better if we ask ourselves the hard questions about what Christ and the apostles were saying and what the early Church and the Christian community were doing. The modern Christians seem to be ignoring the truth about the what should be obvious.

People would have to be in a hypnotic state to believe that Christ wanted them to pray at a modern Church building but if they actually need anything they should go to "men who exercise authority one over the other"?
Jesus was so clear[8] that His disciples were instructed to not be that way.
While the Testaments are also clear that you may legally apply for a multitude of benefits through a socialist state, but not without consequences. Dependence upon "legal charity" will make you "merchandise", "curse children" and bring again the captivity of Egypt. This is undoubtedly why both the Testaments tells us not to covet.
Those gifts, gratuities, and benefits are the wages of unrighteousness which destroy liberty and degenerate the people into perfect savages because they are the dainties and deceitful meats of rulers provided through the covetous practices of the world which "makes the word of God to none effect".
But the modern Christian does that every day to get free schooling for their children, and social security for their parents and a myriad of other public benefits imagining they are not "workers of iniquity".
How is that the daily ministration of the early Church, the table of the LORD which is not a snare? How is fhat seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness? The Christian conflict with Rome was with the welfare system of the Imperial Cult of Rome and the public religion of the world and others like Herod and the Pharisees which was again "making the word of God to none effect".
We are to live by faith, hope, and charity which is love according to The Way of Christ and not the force, fear, and fealty which was the the ways of the world.
If Modern Christians, Jews, and Muslims would repent and seek to see the truth of their own history they could recover from the strong delusion of public religion. They think they understand the teachings in the Bible but have been doing the opposite of what doctrine of Jesus, Moses, and Abraham were telling their followers to do for over a century

Delusions and deceivers

We see in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

What is this strong delusion?
What lie do people believe is true but is not?
And why does God cause it to be sent to the people?

The word we see as "strong" in the text is energeia[9] most often translated "working" or "effectual working".

The word "delusion" is from the Greek word plane [10] from the Greek word πλάνος or planos[11] meaning a wondering or misleading impostor or deceiver.

From the beginning women and men were deceived but that deception was a poor excuse because they knew better.

It was their willing blindness, their choice of darkness rather than the light, and denial of responsibility that compounded their sin of greed and covetousness. They even hid from God which caused them to flee.

Traditional values

Traditional Christian values would be the values of the early Church not those we see in the modern Church who may already believe a lie and are under a strong delusion.

Today, there are thousands of denominations filled with Modern Christians who are all are sure they "believe" and imagine that they are right in their doctrines and not deceived.

They think they are saved based on an interpretation of the Bible. They think they believe in Jesus just like the Pharisees thought they believed in Moses and God.

Titus tells us that people will profess that they know God,[12] but they will actually do so contrary to the will of God the Father that they will call evil good while they indulge in covetous practices and become the workers of iniquity.

They will look to the Fathers of the earth for their daily bread contrary to the early Christian traditions. They will value the rewards of unrighteousness more than the righteousness of God. They will seek the dainties of rulers and men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority. The will eaten at their tables of rulers that are supposed to be for their welfare but are a snare and a trap.

Sit in darkness

Like the Pharisees they sit in darkness and have their own blind guides. Forever studying with a form of self-righteousness claiming godly faith[13] but loving the wages of unrighteousness choosing the darkness rather than the light.[14]

Many[15] modern Christians have become subject to a new cognitive dissonance and they cannot see that their mind and conscience has been defiled.[16]

Their willing blindness and seared conscience[17] an with their desire for the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices of the world. If they had received sound doctrine[18] they would not have consented to the One purse of socialism nor returned to the bondage of Egypt becoming human resources of the world.

Peter warns us that we will become merchandise and curse children. He uses the same word we see as delusion but it is translated error in:

2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error <4106>.

And in:

2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error <4106> of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

It is very clear that there is a real danger that through our own wantonness and desire for benefits of the world and what the Bible calls the Reward of unrighteousness to say nothing of the covetous practices that Peter warned us about. We sit in darkness again so that many have been deceived again becoming entangled in a yoke of bondage and have lost our liberty under God becoming human resources[19] cursing our children with debt.

God the Father and Jesus desires us to free. We are to be in the "world" and not of it. We are not to pray to the Fathers of the earth or the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. We are not to covet anything of our neighborwhich means your "fellow man" or "according to Christ, any other man irrespective of nation or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet".[20]


"Where in the bible do we see believing followers of Christ going to the men of governments who exercise authority one over the other to take from your neighbor so they can have benefits for free? Would the followers of Christ be found coveting their neighbor's goods through the benefactors who exercise authority one over the other as do the fathers of the earth? Those who think they are already saved but are still engaged and dependent upon the covetous practices of having one purse must be under a strong delusion.


In Jude 1[21] we see this word delusion again translated error in relation to the error of Balaam which is the same as the deeds of the Nicolaitan and Cain. These deeds and errors are the same covetous practices done by the Pharisees with their Corban which made the word of God to none effect and now done daily by millions of Modern Christians who may seem nice but are under the same iniquitous and strong delusion.

Jesus tells us that "many" will think they are Christians but will actually be Workers of Iniquity and not even know it.[22]

How do we know we are saved

The covetous practices of desiring to receive benefits from rulers at the expense of others through the exercising authority of governments or borrowing from future generations to provide those benefits curses your children with debt. This was all forbidden by Christ and warned against by the apostles and prophets. It is not only a violation of God's law against coveting your neighbor's goods it is, according to James and Peter, evidence you do not really believe in Jesus but are workers of iniquity. If you are not seeking the alternative to welfare benefits provided by force which is "pure religion" through the perfect law of liberty in the network of Charity and Love commanded by Christ you are not really a believer in Christ and appear to be under a strong delusion.

One common verse tells us that "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:"[23] But that one verse does not tell us if we are saved but only those who truly believeth that Jesus is the Christ. The Christ was the anointed, the highest son of David the king of the Kingdom of God at hand.

Jesus as the Christ and king was telling his disciples and us how we were to act and behave while seeking His kingdom and the righteousness of God. If we truly believe in Jesus as the Christ we will keep his commandments.[24]

It is very clear that there will be false Christs, images of Christ, Apostles and doctrines claiming to be of Christ but are not.[25]

So, to answer the question above "How do we know we believe in the real Jesus with real faith in Him?"

We simply have to ask are we keeping the commandments of Jesus?

Are we truly seeking, striving, and persevering to follow His teachings or doctrines?

It is clear by His own teachings that you can hear with our ears His words and yet still misunderstand the truth of them in our hearts.

Luke 8:12 "Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

We are warned not to be deceived into thinking that we do not have to be righteous or do righteously in our lives. It is therefore clearly seen that if we are sinning we are not of Christ. If our policy in this life is a sin or given to sin then we are not of Christ nor do we truly believe in Him.

1 John 3:7 "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

If we are truly Born again of God then we should not see sin and if we see sin that is evidence that we do not yet believe in spirit and truth and have need of repentance.

1 John 3:9 "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."

Whoever truly loves Christ Jesus would also love his brother and would not commit acts of unrighteousness against him or His brethren. We know by Christ's own words that what we do to the least of His brethren you do also to Christ, so if you love Christ you will love your His brethren and if you love not His brethren then you love not Christ.[26] So by your love or lack of love you will have evidence if you are saved not saved.

Some say there are two ways to know if you are saved.

1. We have placed our hopes for heaven entirely on Jesus according some doctrines quoting John where he says, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:13
2. You have a new nature. Saying that it is your life that best reflects your love for God. But what is that nature and what is the evidence of that nature so that we may know we are seeking true righteousness and doing the Father's will?

To say our hope is "entirely" resting on Jesus is a value judgment of the mind.

We know we should love the Lord with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.[27]

But do we know our own mind?[28]

Men are not always in their right Mind?[29]

If we are proud or vain we may not be saved in our right minds but only in our imagination saved.

Luke 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

Here we see the Greek word dianoia normally translated mind translated imagination[30]

This word mind is also translated from the Greek nous[31]

Depending on the mind to know if you are saved is like eating of the tree of knowledge to guide your walk with God.

Being saved is just returning to that which we were meant to be.

God is spirit and made us in His image.

In the beginning there was spirit which shaped all for life.[32] It moved upon the waters and Man is mostly water.

God gave us the breath of His life [33]

All life and law come from the Spirit. Until the Spirit is saved the body and the soul cannot be saved.

Can anyone tell you that you are saved?

Does anyone, especially you, have the right to make that judgement?

Do we have the ability to make that mental perception with something as fragile as our Mind?[34]

What would be the evidence that our minds see clearly the truth of Christ?[35]

What would be the evidence that we are deceived about our faith?

It is written that we do not know what God hath prepared for them that love him. But God reveals unto us by his Spirit... For what man knoweth except by spirit? For salvation is of God and no man knoweth the things of God except Gods Spirit.[36]

We may seek to serve and in the hope of His purging so that His sacrifice be not void in us. Our hope is that His spirit gathers in us that we may be saved.[37]

We should not glory in the thought of our salvation for our own pride may leaven our walk.[38]

We must allow ourselves to be purged of the leaven of pride.[39]

Christ did very little testimony of himself but let his works testify of him.[40]

So why do we need to say we are saved?

Say rather I seek salvation for that is His first command seek the doing of righteousness in service one to another. Are we saved by the testimony of our own mouths?

We should be careful not to err is a gift from above from the Father of lights. It is by His own will that we be his creation. We should be swift to hear and slow to wrath for that we not be the righteousness of God. So we should be setting aside all filthiness and naughtiness so that we may receive with meekness that which is able to save your souls. We are told to be doers of the word for if not we are deceiving our own selves. For if any be a forgetful hearer and not a doer of the work he shall not be blessed. And if not blessed then not saved.[41]

While we seek salvation and its blessings we know we err and seek to be converted and even perfected in the truth.[42]

Then the Father will breathe his life into us again.[43]

Our salvation is His spirit in union with our own by our submission to His will.[44]

How do we know we believe or anything if we depend upon our minds?

Can you answer these questions in the context of their use in history and the Bible?

Some Questions

More Questions

To find the answers, we must seek and strive to do what Jesus said the way He said to do it... Including attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

    Luke 22:25-26 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
