My grandson picked me up this Sunday we went to seek a new church to attend. They had a guest speaker. That gentleman was spot on when reading scripture and explaining what it meant. My grandson says he found a new home! He was excited when he said it. So was I The lord knew that I needed some scripture. I read the bible twice daily This gentleman talked about you have to surrender daily. I read that somewhere.
You duck the flames here, Sis. Keep searching for a Church that preaches the truth of the scriptures. Protect your son at all cause. Sending you love from London🙏
I thought I had truly found my church for life last year until one day, everyone started praying in tongues. It was my first experience with that, and it scared the shizzle out of me because it didn't feel or sound right. So I haven't been back since. But after going to different churches since then, I dont feel the same warmth and love I felt at that charismatic church (before the tongues thing happened). Please pray for me as I search for truth. 😔
I wish you the very best on finding a Bible led church. Regarding Tongues, I don't speak or understand it. I do believe there's some red flags, if nearly everyone in the church is "speaking it." Be careful and wise, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you.
please read 1 Corinthians chapter 12-14 in conjunction. it gives clear outlines about tongues and the use of tongues. i personally have been led to study more about the Holy Spirit and baptism of the Holy Spirit and these scriptures have been a great help and comfort to me in understanding the gifts of the Spirit, including tongues! I think a lot of people get discouraged or uncomfortable because it can feel like those with the gift of tongues are holier than thou or that there is something personally wrong with themselves if they haven’t been given the gift of tongues. but i feel like if you read these chapters altogether and pay close attention to the words used, you’ll see that tongues are real, tongues are something all believers can aspire to have, there are seemingly some benefits to tongues, but ultimately tongues are a gift of the Holy Spirit’s discretion just like wisdom, knowledge, faith, etc and is not necessarily given to every believer and is not a marker of salvation.
Find a non denomination church or a church that reads the word. Don't look for fancy lights or concert themed sermons no look for a word led church research them look in to them that's how I found mine and I prayed really hard for guidance ❤
Corey, you have said multiple times in the past that you will shut down your channel whenever you feel like doing it and that wont bother you, but I just think it is not of God to take away sound doctrine (and a sound teacher like yourself) off of youtube. There's a great need for channels like this one to exist and this video shows it! Thank you for what you're doing for the Lord brother.
@@robertparsons313 Pray that the Lord leads you to a Bible believing church who preaches the word correctly. If it were not possible to find such a set of believers, the Lord would never tell us not to forsake the assembling together: Hebrews 10:23-25 [23] Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; [24] and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, [25] not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Be well and be at peace
the master’s seminary church which is connected to john macarthur’s seminary school is a better place to start for a potentially/more likely Biblically sound church
At the church we attend, the pastor said he would shoot someone if he saw them burning the flag. When the congregation registered shock, he doubled down. Last week he taught the ‘little gods doctrine.’ As a joke he said how much better off we would be if it were three wise woman instead of three wise men. Not funny. This is an Independent Baptist Church. We spoke with a few of the congregants and they are willing to give the pastor a pass. Bad doctrine is slithering like a serpent through the churches. As of last week, we are in the process of looking for a new church.
She may not be the only one who sees the problem. People seem to think that there is safety in numbers. That's why a group of people will sit in a mess.

I had a pastor who would say that we should pray for God to reveal the scriptures to us, whenever we would ask questions about what he was preaching. Built a culture to make you afraid to ask anything.
Ma'am, you stick to your convictions. Ask your friends if they believe what is being said, and if they do, then pray for them because they are blind too. Protect your son. Don't allow him to be or remain confused. In all thy getting get understanding. Study to show yourself approved. Question everything and everyone. Thank God for your ❤️.
I recently had to leave the church I was attending because of a recent sermon as well. The topic title for that Sunday was "Mind Your Business" He went on rebuking everyone from the pulpit with scriptures backing up what he thinks saying... My home, my car, my lifestyle (know the waitress in the restaurant he attend regularly and his choice of cocktail is a Whisky Old Fashioned --he's a recovering drug addict as well ), my kids, my wife, my finances, my faith are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! It's between me and GOD do not question me! GOd will deal with me! I was like WHOAH!! Sin will thrive in his church following his example and I told him so on this sermon he posted online/YT channel . I was ignored!
AMEN TIFFANY! I love her! CHAT GPT??? Father, I thank you for Tiffany's wisdom and strength. I pray She finds a place to worship that honors you by sharing the truth of your word. Amen.
so I want to correct one minor thing that was stated here and overlooked. so at 2:03, she said the pastor in question said that "Moses fast was a dry fast"... that's actually correct... a dry fast means no food or water which the scriptures do point to. most churches and individuals who fast are fasting with water... wet vs dry
This was a great discussion that probably has happened to others posting here. The culture of the church I once attended was to have questions about the messages was to criticize the pastor. No one was encouraged to be bereans.
A few months ago, I attended a church because I haven't been since 2018 when God pulled me out of organized religion. But I went, and needless to say the watered down preaching turned me off because the man they had teaching was comparing LeBron James to Jesus Christ. I looked around to see if anyone heard what I had hear and all I can see was everyone telling him "that's good preaching". I was astonished, and felt the Lord say to me that this was going on in many churches. I know there are a handful of solid churches, but the overwhelming number of unbiblically sound churches is the reason why many don’t trust going to church anymore. This church was also advertising one of their plays aka "stage shows" another red flag. I haven't been back since. Now I teach and do Bible lessons from home, because the churches I've been to, don’t use single men over 40 with no children for leadership roles in church. More biased to the traditions of man than the commandments of God.
I’m having a hard time finding a church in my area that’s solid on the word of God, I wanted to attended one that I felt was it but now the pastor is no longer present no word on why and the father who is an elder is preaching the church is a planted church started around 2016 now they are in a school and working and praying towards a building, I’m praying that things get better but until then I am hungry and I thirst for the word of God I watching Grace Community Church online because I get what I need and the word of God as transformed me though I have Bible study I must have true doctrine taught to me, I feel guilty like I am sinning because I am watching church, if there was one that moved me here I would attend.
That's tricky. If they are saying that they are the only way that you can hear from God, then that is wrong. God speaks to us individually as well as we mature in Him.
The Lord sustained me for almost 2 weeks without water or food and He gave me energy to walk daily for many hours. So…yes Moses and Jesus could go without water or food for 40 days and 40 nights and be sustained and not need help to walk or function. We serve a God that can do the impossible for man, but nothings impossible for God. However, we should know this anyways because the word of God is truth that we can stand on.
Didn't Elijah do the same at one point? I mean, sure, an angel fed him first, but I seem to recall he went in the strength of that food for 40 days and nights.
It looks like we need to re grow the church from inside the home again. Not not a single mother household but ones with healthy Godly Marriages. With men being the head, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God parts to each the measure of faith. All is out of God (through Christ.) God parted to me a good measure of faith, a hunger to study the Scripture. Through my RUclips feed He parted (and still parts) to me a few great teachers, and a lot of bad ones. And He has parted to me the discernment to rightly divide the two. And of course I'm still learning. But He has never parted to me a desire to join a so-called church. He's already made me a member of the body of Christ and I occasionally fellowship with some fellow believers online, but I've never felt the need to join an institutional organization when I'm already a member of His living organism, His body.
Hi there, regarding fasting, did Joshua fast for 40 days? The only reason anyone leave the church their in, is they kick you out. If the Church is in error and you know the truth then it is up to you to tell the truth. If you do not keep on telling the truth. If you do not continue telling the truth you are sinning. Remember those people are perishing.
I m being bullied & harassed @ my church, I went 2 leadership but nothing has improved, praying about leaving, leadership acts like they r scared of the bullies 2 me, one of them is the pastor's cousin, I don't bother nobody @ my church & no one knows me @ my church, it's sad, I see why alot of people don't want 2 come 2 church, one of the bullies i heard has been a problem @ this church 4 a long time & the leadership knows about it
ill say this if theres a calvary chapel in your town check them out , they teach verse by verse, chapter by chapter sound doctrine we left a church that was good but they only taught topical books and i learned more in a year at Calvary than 7 years at my old church pray for these pastors who don’t teach God words rightfully and pray for those who are knowingly teaching false doctrine God will Judge them severely for misleading his followers
@@vitinlacend6402 I have studied with 3 different Calvary Chapel pastors and they do I good job at going through the Bible. When pastor from Ontario said he spoke in tongues in one of his videos, I stopped watching and studying with them. David Guzik has the Enduring word online and I still refer to it sometimes. I’m just very cautious about any church that Goes against the word. Even if it’s a small thing.
@@0417valleygirl that depends on the pastor my pastor in philly teaches sound doctrine thus far plus i study at home i never trust man 100 percent i ask the Holy spirit to guide me have a blessed day ps i don’t like ever calvary pastor i don’t trust greg laurie at all thats just me
I left a church because a woman pastor replaced our pastor who relocated - she & her daughter were also in clergy robes leading the congregation in communion & it just looked & felt out of order.
James 5:19-20 NIV [19] My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, [20] remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Cory I asked my Pastor about a Joel Olsteen video speaking on life and death are in the power of the tongue and speaking things that are not as though they were and he said I was was trying to trap him lol. Should I stay at this church?
I have went from church 2 church and have not found 1 or even one close to preaching truth and I just personally don’t fit in with none I’ve went to after traveling from church 2 church for many years .
This is bad. My church is worse. I spoke to my pastor (he was the interim pastor at the time, because the main pastor had left the church to go on missions) about theology and doctrine because I heard him teaching false doctrine in line with what catholicism teaches, so I confronted him about it. I was hopeful in the Lord that he would understand and change. He did not and he doubled down on heresy and even blasphemy during that conversation, saying that he believed that his god fails. It was terrible. I told the main pastor about all of this, given that he was going to ordain him to main pastor in October 2024. So I felt an urgency to tell him about all of this before that occurred. I told the main pastor about all of this, he told me that he would talk to him and take it into consideration. I didnt hear from him until i saw him at the ordination and he didnt say a word about it. He ends up ordaining him as main pastor with full knowledge of all of this. After all of this was done I found out that the main pastor had bad mouthed me to his interim pastor saying that I was an extremist because I was a calvinist. It was pretty terrible. The ordained interim pastor is the main pastor today and his sermons are awful. They are worldly, carnal and centered on man and he doesn't even understand. The more i hear him preach I can see that he doesnt have the Spirit in him. I havent left this church yet because im praying for him and those that listen to him and im also the treasurer at the moment. If I left this church now there isnt any other church I could go to in my city because they are all worse than this one. Its a weird situation. But may the Lord's will be done.
We are the church and I hope Corey addresses this people believe they have to go to church and be under a pastor nowadays but Jesus crucifixion did away with those practices or the more formal aspects of church or the faith. We can worship as the church as long as there are two or three he will be in the midst. We aren't to neglect fellowship meaning coming together to esteem in another and encourage one another feed the needy etc we can do that without ties to religion, denominations, false doctrine etc
1. The Church Is the Body of Christ Ephesians 1:22-23: "And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Paul defines the church as the body of Christ-a spiritual assembly of believers under Christ’s authority, not a physical structure. Colossians 1:18: "And He is the head of the body, the church." Again, this emphasizes the church as a spiritual entity, with Christ as the head. 2. Believers, Not Buildings, Are the Temple of God 1 Corinthians 3:16: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" Paul teaches that God dwells in His people, not in a physical building. Acts 17:24: "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man." Paul clearly states that God’s presence is not confined to a physical structure, emphasizing the spiritual nature of worship. 3. Gathering Anywhere in His Name Matthew 18:20: "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Jesus confirms that worship and fellowship are not about location but about gathering in His name with sincerity. Romans 16:5: "Greet also the church that meets at their house." Early Christians often met in homes for worship, demonstrating that the church is about the community of believers, not a formal building. 4. Churches Today vs. Biblical Intent The New Testament calls believers to: Preach the Gospel: Mark 16:15-"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Care for the needy: James 1:27-"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress." Stand for righteousness: Ephesians 5:11-"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them." However, some modern churches may prioritize finances, political alliances, or social acceptance over fulfilling these commands. This reflects Revelation 3:16: "Because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth." 5. Historical Examples of Worship Outside Temples Israel in Egypt: For 400 years, the Israelites had no temple but maintained their identity as God’s people. After their exodus, God instituted the tabernacle as a temporary worship space in the wilderness (Exodus 25:8). Early Christians: During persecution, Christians worshiped in secret (homes, catacombs), emphasizing faith and fellowship over formal structures. 6. The Church Challenges the World The church, as intended by Christ, is not meant to align with the world but to transform it. Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Christ and His disciples spoke boldly against corruption and injustice, even when it meant persecution (e.g., John 2:13-16-Jesus cleanses the temple). Conclusion The church is fundamentally a spiritual assembly of believers who are united under Christ, regardless of location. While physical churches can serve as places for gathering, worship, and community, they are not the essence of the church as described in the New Testament. The true church is called to: Preach the Gospel Care for the needy Stand for righteousness Modern institutions may fall short of this calling, and believers must discern and uphold the biblical vision of the church.@@CoCo8102.
@ Its easy to take God's Word out of context when you read it through a lens of false teachings. You forgot about these verses: Ephesians 4: 11-12 Acts 6:1-6, 14: 23, 20: 17, 28 Romans 12: 6-8 1 Corinthians 12: 7-11, 28 1 Timothy 3: 1-7, 3: 8-13 Titus 1: 5-9 Obviously, the Lord Jesus is the head of His body and no, not a physical place, but He Himself says that He has appointed these positions in His body and has appointed those whom He wills to those positions. Not everyone is called to be a pastor or deacon. And in regards to the church being wrapped up in the things of the world, yeah I see that and Im against it, but thats not the subject of our conversation. I knew a man who held your same belief, where they would come together in houses and worship the Lord (which isn't a bad thing or against God's Word) but he certainly had a rebeIIious and arr0gant spirit. He had either been kicked out of churches in this city or brought about division within the churches that he attended and this is why he started to meet with others in his home and other people's houses. Ironically, he ended up starting up his own church in a physical place and his theology to this day is horrible and he preaches a new, inconsistent doctrine every week that goes against what he preached the last week. So you may "feel" like the Lord is calling you to meet as a church in a home, but if it doesn't line up with what His Word says then its not His will. So I dont believe that what you hold to is what the Lord is saying in His Word, so I will not do that and also for the very fact that we've already done that and the Lord guided us to shut it down. Reconsider your beliefs based on the totality of God's Word, not just the isolated verses you heard someone use to support his own beliefs. God bless you.
I am not saying there isn't a need for fellowship some have conflated the two and definitely not trying to draw people away from Christ exactly the opposite I'm trying to put things back in proper context . I am not attacking the church I am offering context to people experiencing church hurt by saying it's not how Jesus intended the church to operate. Instead of abandoning the church, you can focus on returning to the principles Jesus taught is all I was pointing out and that people are turned off by the idea of church because of how it has been misrepresented and misrepresenting Christians/the faith and the word of God. I wouldn't want to start my own anything I'd just rather see a return to what the church should be doing which is doing the will of the father while worshiping in spirit and truth. And as you said yes God gave the body a structure and organization but it's not tied to institutions. Church today is making commerce of the people and it's exactly what Jesus warned against false teachers preachers and those preaching another gospel I don't believe I am doing that @@CoCo8102.
I have switched churches for years for different reasons but all having to do with disagreement about doctrine. Paul wrote (paraphrasing) that because he knew that the word about having a division was true, then there must also be heresies. If we don't make that connection, and also understand that this is just like in the days of Judges where every man did what was right in his own eyes, and understand how we all can not be right, you will know that supermajority of pastors are heretics, heretics are not the minority. Even Corey has several heresies and unlawful contentions against God's commandments and judgments. Bet he contend against men wearing skirts, but does not contend against women wearing pants. He is using partial judgment.
I believe Jesus drank water during His fast. #1 "Afterwards he hungered" not thirsted. #2 The devil tempted him with food not water. Jesus was 100% man and the human body can go weeks without food not without water. In a long fast the body will need/crave water before food yet the devil temped him with food. The pastor should not have taught something without being able to give an answer. IMO
If the Pastor of a church "modifies or adds" The Word, promotes a different morality, and/or a tolerance of actions which are clearly contrary to The Word, promotes a different Gospel, which excludes the main "requirements", etc. and the "Pastor" will not change his stance, and if the Elders, Deacons and others in this (so called) "church" stand with the "Pastor" (or some or part of the above) - it's "Adios".
I have a situation where the pastor messages my son as well. I would prefer he message me first, before contacting him, he’s a minor. When he wants to invite him to do things, he messages him asking him and I usually let him go, but he should be asking me, not my son.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Here is your answer Corey and followers. By the way this is 1 Corinthians 12.
I understand,what you are dealing with people I go 2 church with ,love john macarthur and use his commentary at bible study ,I bring up something he said Is blantily false and show them he's wrong , they don't even disagree with him
Our new Pastor's theology is off. I've heard him say a few things that aren't in the Bible and last week he was talking about making vision boards. I can't take him seriously. Is anyone else's Pastor insisting that Jesus drank juice and not wine? He gives a whole speech about this every communion. I never heard this before he came.
What ever happened to perseverance of the saints, and being salt and a light in where the Lord places you. These bad churches need faithful believers. Not all are called to that. But if you are I encourage others to stay. I am guilty of leaving churches as well in the past. My Pastor doesn't always preach scripture properly, but I know from discernment He needs a loving rebuke and correction. Pastors don't always get it right. Correct them and worst case bring it to the elders to remove Him not for causing problems but so he could be reconciled to God. This video is not a easy one to answer.
Hey Tiffany I'm just gonna remind you that Moses was with the Lord for forty days. And during that time Moses neither ate or drank because he was in his presence. His presence sustains us. Exodus 34:28-35. Fasting weakens the flesh but and the spirit is sustained by its will. In our weakness, gods strength is perfected. We fast to pray. Our prayers reach God when we dont have the distractions of this world holding us down. Fasting is like putting yourself through a trial to prove genuious of your faith. Tiffany, look for a new pastor.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 tells us that in the last days there will a great falling away. Any preacher that does not study prophecy and teach on it at some time is a false teacher, because Paul in the short time that he spent in Thessalonica taught about the second coming and sexual immorality.
The scripture does not explicitly say Jesus did not or did drink water. So it's all assumption. It is possible He did not drink because with Moses he was able to live without water but It states He ate nothing. So we know the fast was he ate nothing. So, the pastor was better off saying "we may assume Jesus did not drink water but the text only says He did not eat" that way your not teaching on assumption. Eaith way He should have heard her out better and been willing to study and make corrections. Why would you block her for having a legitimate concern? We all have to be humble and say what the word says and leave the rest to not knowing.
Not that she is wrong or lying, but there are always 2 sides, we have no idea if this is true or if she misunderstood here pastor. sounds like she want to be here sons pastor.
I believe she just doesn’t want her son to be mislead. I went through many false teachings myself and I’m kind of in a similar situation myself. We still attend church there, because I compare what he’s saying to the Bible. I know we won’t always agree on every single thing, but I’m just afraid of being misled and my son who’s still learning as well 😎🙏
@MajorasThoughts tongues is a major part of most Charistmatic church but always these rules Pray for God to guide you Read study.

Don't allow him to be or remain confused. In all thy getting get understanding. Study to show yourself approved. Question everything and everyone.
Thank God for your ❤️.
Exodus 34:28-35 says Moses was with the Lord 40 days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water!!!
This is alot..... God bless
I recently had to leave the church I was attending because of a recent sermon as well.
The topic title for that Sunday was "Mind Your Business" He went on rebuking everyone from the pulpit with scriptures backing up what he thinks saying...
My home, my car, my lifestyle (know the waitress in the restaurant he attend regularly and his choice of cocktail is a Whisky Old Fashioned --he's a recovering drug addict as well ), my kids, my wife, my finances, my faith are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! It's between me and GOD do not question me! GOd will deal with me!
I was like WHOAH!! Sin will thrive in his church following his example and I told him so on this sermon he posted online/YT channel . I was ignored!
AMEN TIFFANY! I love her! CHAT GPT??? Father, I thank you for Tiffany's wisdom and strength. I pray She finds a place to worship that honors you by sharing the truth of your word. Amen.
High five Tiffany!
I go to a church now that tell the members if you give and pay your tithe God will bless you
so I want to correct one minor thing that was stated here and overlooked. so at 2:03, she said the pastor in question said that "Moses fast was a dry fast"... that's actually correct... a dry fast means no food or water which the scriptures do point to. most churches and individuals who fast are fasting with water... wet vs dry
This was a great discussion that probably has happened to others posting here. The culture of the church I once attended was to have questions about the messages was to criticize the pastor. No one was encouraged to be bereans.
A few months ago, I attended a church because I haven't been since 2018 when God pulled me out of organized religion. But I went, and needless to say the watered down preaching turned me off because the man they had teaching was comparing LeBron James to Jesus Christ. I looked around to see if anyone heard what I had hear and all I can see was everyone telling him "that's good preaching". I was astonished, and felt the Lord say to me that this was going on in many churches. I know there are a handful of solid churches, but the overwhelming number of unbiblically sound churches is the reason why many don’t trust going to church anymore. This church was also advertising one of their plays aka "stage shows" another red flag. I haven't been back since. Now I teach and do Bible lessons from home, because the churches I've been to, don’t use single men over 40 with no children for leadership roles in church. More biased to the traditions of man than the commandments of God.
Thank you Tiffany for standing on Kingdom Business 💪🏾
No matter how wicked the place is, they still call it a church. It is wondrous how deceived people are.
I’m having a hard time finding a church in my area that’s solid on the word of God, I wanted to attended one that I felt was it but now the pastor is no longer present no word on why and the father who is an elder is preaching the church is a planted church started around 2016 now they are in a school and working and praying towards a building, I’m praying that things get better but until then I am hungry and I thirst for the word of God I watching Grace Community Church online because I get what I need and the word of God as transformed me though I have Bible study I must have true doctrine taught to me, I feel guilty like I am sinning because I am watching church, if there was one that moved me here I would attend.
Hi,I want your opinion on this statement made in the pulpit, 'listen to your pastor he or she is the one who is anointed "
That's tricky. If they are saying that they are the only way that you can hear from God, then that is wrong. God speaks to us individually as well as we mature in Him.
The Lord sustained me for almost 2 weeks without water or food and He gave me energy to walk daily for many hours. So…yes Moses and Jesus could go without water or food for 40 days and 40 nights and be sustained and not need help to walk or function. We serve a God that can do the impossible for man, but nothings impossible for God. However, we should know this anyways because the word of God is truth that we can stand on.
Didn't Elijah do the same at one point? I mean, sure, an angel fed him first, but I seem to recall he went in the strength of that food for 40 days and nights.
It looks like we need to re grow the church from inside the home again. Not not a single mother household but ones with healthy Godly Marriages. With men being the head, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Amen.
Can you please talk about preacher protecting predators (larry reid)
God parts to each the measure of faith. All is out of God (through Christ.) God parted to me a good measure of faith, a hunger to study the Scripture. Through my RUclips feed He parted (and still parts) to me a few great teachers, and a lot of bad ones. And He has parted to me the discernment to rightly divide the two. And of course I'm still learning.
But He has never parted to me a desire to join a so-called church. He's already made me a member of the body of Christ and I occasionally fellowship with some fellow believers online, but I've never felt the need to join an institutional organization when I'm already a member of His living organism, His body.
Great talk ❤
This was good 👍🏾
Hi there, regarding fasting, did Joshua fast for 40 days? The only reason anyone leave the church their in, is they kick you out. If the Church is in error and you know the truth then it is up to you to tell the truth. If you do not keep on telling the truth. If you do not continue telling the truth you are sinning. Remember those people are perishing.
I m being bullied & harassed @ my church, I went 2 leadership but nothing has improved, praying about leaving, leadership acts like they r scared of the bullies 2 me, one of them is the pastor's cousin, I don't bother nobody @ my church & no one knows me @ my church, it's sad, I see why alot of people don't want 2 come 2 church, one of the bullies i heard has been a problem @ this church 4 a long time & the leadership knows about it
ill say this if theres a calvary chapel in your town check them out , they teach verse by verse, chapter by chapter sound doctrine we left a church that was good but they only taught topical books and i learned more in a year at Calvary than 7 years at my old church pray for these pastors who don’t teach God words rightfully and pray for those who are knowingly teaching false doctrine God will Judge them severely for misleading his followers
Yes they do pretty good job until they get to their doctrine on speaking in tongues 🤦🏽♀️
@ explain????
@@vitinlacend6402 I have studied with 3 different Calvary Chapel pastors and they do I good job at going through the Bible. When pastor from Ontario said he spoke in tongues in one of his videos, I stopped watching and studying with them. David Guzik has the Enduring word online and I still refer to it sometimes. I’m just very cautious about any church that Goes against the word. Even if it’s a small thing.
@@0417valleygirl that depends on the pastor my pastor in philly teaches sound doctrine thus far plus i study at home i never trust man 100 percent i ask the Holy spirit to guide me have a blessed day ps i don’t like ever calvary pastor i don’t trust greg laurie at all thats just me
I left a church because a woman pastor replaced our pastor who relocated - she & her daughter were also in clergy robes leading the congregation in communion & it just looked & felt out of order.
James 5:19-20 NIV
[19] My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, [20] remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
No one mentioned Matthew 24:15, 1stPeter 4:17, or 2ndThesalonions 2:2-12.
Glad she left.
GOD bless ❤
Cory I asked my Pastor about a Joel Olsteen video speaking on life and death are in the power of the tongue and speaking things that are not as though they were and he said I was was trying to trap him lol. Should I stay at this church?
I have went from church 2 church and have not found 1 or even one close to preaching truth and I just personally don’t fit in with none I’ve went to after traveling from church 2 church for many years .
I can definitely relate. 🙏
Get up and leave if they start the “giving” part of the service. Never go back.
Selfish!!
This is bad. My church is worse. I spoke to my pastor (he was the interim pastor at the time, because the main pastor had left the church to go on missions) about theology and doctrine because I heard him teaching false doctrine in line with what catholicism teaches, so I confronted him about it. I was hopeful in the Lord that he would understand and change. He did not and he doubled down on heresy and even blasphemy during that conversation, saying that he believed that his god fails. It was terrible. I told the main pastor about all of this, given that he was going to ordain him to main pastor in October 2024. So I felt an urgency to tell him about all of this before that occurred. I told the main pastor about all of this, he told me that he would talk to him and take it into consideration. I didnt hear from him until i saw him at the ordination and he didnt say a word about it. He ends up ordaining him as main pastor with full knowledge of all of this. After all of this was done I found out that the main pastor had bad mouthed me to his interim pastor saying that I was an extremist because I was a calvinist. It was pretty terrible. The ordained interim pastor is the main pastor today and his sermons are awful. They are worldly, carnal and centered on man and he doesn't even understand. The more i hear him preach I can see that he doesnt have the Spirit in him. I havent left this church yet because im praying for him and those that listen to him and im also the treasurer at the moment. If I left this church now there isnt any other church I could go to in my city because they are all worse than this one. Its a weird situation. But may the Lord's will be done.
We are the church and I hope Corey addresses this people believe they have to go to church and be under a pastor nowadays but Jesus crucifixion did away with those practices or the more formal aspects of church or the faith. We can worship as the church as long as there are two or three he will be in the midst. We aren't to neglect fellowship meaning coming together to esteem in another and encourage one another feed the needy etc we can do that without ties to religion, denominations, false doctrine etc
@PleasuremanRx could you prove what you've commented with what God's Word says please.
1. The Church Is the Body of Christ
Ephesians 1:22-23:
"And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all."
Paul defines the church as the body of Christ-a spiritual assembly of believers under Christ’s authority, not a physical structure.
Colossians 1:18:
"And He is the head of the body, the church."
Again, this emphasizes the church as a spiritual entity, with Christ as the head.
2. Believers, Not Buildings, Are the Temple of God
1 Corinthians 3:16:
"Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"
Paul teaches that God dwells in His people, not in a physical building.
Acts 17:24:
"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man."
Paul clearly states that God’s presence is not confined to a physical structure, emphasizing the spiritual nature of worship.
3. Gathering Anywhere in His Name
Matthew 18:20:
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
Jesus confirms that worship and fellowship are not about location but about gathering in His name with sincerity.
Romans 16:5:
"Greet also the church that meets at their house."
Early Christians often met in homes for worship, demonstrating that the church is about the community of believers, not a formal building.
4. Churches Today vs. Biblical Intent
The New Testament calls believers to:
Preach the Gospel: Mark 16:15-"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
Care for the needy: James 1:27-"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
Stand for righteousness: Ephesians 5:11-"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them."
However, some modern churches may prioritize finances, political alliances, or social acceptance over fulfilling these commands.
This reflects Revelation 3:16: "Because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
5. Historical Examples of Worship Outside Temples
Israel in Egypt:
For 400 years, the Israelites had no temple but maintained their identity as God’s people.
After their exodus, God instituted the tabernacle as a temporary worship space in the wilderness (Exodus 25:8).
Early Christians:
During persecution, Christians worshiped in secret (homes, catacombs), emphasizing faith and fellowship over formal structures.
6. The Church Challenges the World
The church, as intended by Christ, is not meant to align with the world but to transform it.
Romans 12:2:
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Christ and His disciples spoke boldly against corruption and injustice, even when it meant persecution (e.g., John 2:13-16-Jesus cleanses the temple).
Conclusion
The church is fundamentally a spiritual assembly of believers who are united under Christ, regardless of location. While physical churches can serve as places for gathering, worship, and community, they are not the essence of the church as described in the New Testament.
The true church is called to:
Preach the Gospel
Care for the needy
Stand for righteousness
Modern institutions may fall short of this calling, and believers must discern and uphold the biblical vision of the church.@@CoCo8102.
@ Its easy to take God's Word out of context when you read it through a lens of false teachings. You forgot about these verses:
Ephesians 4: 11-12
Acts 6:1-6, 14: 23, 20: 17, 28
Romans 12: 6-8
1 Corinthians 12: 7-11, 28
1 Timothy 3: 1-7, 3: 8-13
Titus 1: 5-9
Obviously, the Lord Jesus is the head of His body and no, not a physical place, but He Himself says that He has appointed these positions in His body and has appointed those whom He wills to those positions. Not everyone is called to be a pastor or deacon. And in regards to the church being wrapped up in the things of the world, yeah I see that and Im against it, but thats not the subject of our conversation.
I knew a man who held your same belief, where they would come together in houses and worship the Lord (which isn't a bad thing or against God's Word) but he certainly had a rebeIIious and arr0gant spirit. He had either been kicked out of churches in this city or brought about division within the churches that he attended and this is why he started to meet with others in his home and other people's houses. Ironically, he ended up starting up his own church in a physical place and his theology to this day is horrible and he preaches a new, inconsistent doctrine every week that goes against what he preached the last week. So you may "feel" like the Lord is calling you to meet as a church in a home, but if it doesn't line up with what His Word says then its not His will. So I dont believe that what you hold to is what the Lord is saying in His Word, so I will not do that and also for the very fact that we've already done that and the Lord guided us to shut it down. Reconsider your beliefs based on the totality of God's Word, not just the isolated verses you heard someone use to support his own beliefs. God bless you.
I am not saying there isn't a need for fellowship some have conflated the two and definitely not trying to draw people away from Christ exactly the opposite I'm trying to put things back in proper context . I am not attacking the church I am offering context to people experiencing church hurt by saying it's not how Jesus intended the church to operate.
Instead of abandoning the church, you can focus on returning to the principles Jesus taught is all I was pointing out and that people are turned off by the idea of church because of how it has been misrepresented and misrepresenting Christians/the faith and the word of God. I wouldn't want to start my own anything I'd just rather see a return to what the church should be doing which is doing the will of the father while worshiping in spirit and truth. And as you said yes God gave the body a structure and organization but it's not tied to institutions. Church today is making commerce of the people and it's exactly what Jesus warned against false teachers preachers and those preaching another gospel I don't believe I am doing that @@CoCo8102.
I have switched churches for years for different reasons but all having to do with disagreement about doctrine. Paul wrote (paraphrasing) that because he knew that the word about having a division was true, then there must also be heresies.
If we don't make that connection, and also understand that this is just like in the days of Judges where every man did what was right in his own eyes, and understand how we all can not be right, you will know that supermajority of pastors are heretics, heretics are not the minority. Even Corey has several heresies and unlawful contentions against God's commandments and judgments. Bet he contend against men wearing skirts, but does not contend against women wearing pants. He is using partial judgment.
I believe Jesus drank water during His fast. #1 "Afterwards he hungered" not thirsted. #2 The devil tempted him with food not water. Jesus was 100% man and the human body can go weeks without food not without water. In a long fast the body will need/crave water before food yet the devil temped him with food. The pastor should not have taught something without being able to give an answer. IMO
If the Pastor of a church "modifies or adds" The Word, promotes a different morality, and/or a tolerance of actions which are clearly contrary to The Word,
promotes a different Gospel, which excludes the main "requirements", etc. and the "Pastor" will not change his stance, and if the Elders, Deacons and
others in this (so called) "church" stand with the "Pastor" (or some or part of the above) - it's "Adios".
Asking questions to gain understanding is not slander. I believe this so-called pastor texting Ms. Tiffany's son seems manipulative and strange.
I have a situation where the pastor messages my son as well. I would prefer he message me first, before contacting him, he’s a minor. When he wants to invite him to do things, he messages him asking him and I usually let him go, but he should be asking me, not my son.
@ I agree; he should ask you first. That is not respectful to you as the parent.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
Here is your answer Corey and followers. By the way this is 1 Corinthians 12.
Matthew 5:11
John 3:36 He who believes in the son has everlasting life and he who does not believe the son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
I understand,what you are dealing with people I go 2 church with ,love john macarthur and use his commentary at bible study ,I bring up something he said Is blantily false and show them he's wrong , they don't even disagree with him
Many will not go against anything he says and it’s almost like he’s above reproach, but that’s just my opinion 🙏
Our new Pastor's theology is off. I've heard him say a few things that aren't in the Bible and last week he was talking about making vision boards. I can't take him seriously. Is anyone else's Pastor insisting that Jesus drank juice and not wine? He gives a whole speech about this every communion. I never heard this before he came.
I left my church because my pastor puts the church on the back burner and that he strays away from the Bible
What ever happened to perseverance of the saints, and being salt and a light in where the Lord places you. These bad churches need faithful believers. Not all are called to that. But if you are I encourage others to stay. I am guilty of leaving churches as well in the past. My Pastor doesn't always preach scripture properly, but I know from discernment He needs a loving rebuke and correction. Pastors don't always get it right. Correct them and worst case bring it to the elders to remove Him not for causing problems but so he could be reconciled to God. This video is not a easy one to answer.
Amen well said here 😎
Amen
Left my church after I saw they are trump cultists and made him their god
Hello
Most churches at least tacitly approved the genocide in Gaza.
Hey Tiffany I'm just gonna remind you that Moses was with the Lord for forty days. And during that time Moses neither ate or drank because he was in his presence. His presence sustains us.
Exodus 34:28-35.
Fasting weakens the flesh but and the spirit is sustained by its will. In our weakness, gods strength is perfected. We fast to pray. Our prayers reach God when we dont have the distractions of this world holding us down.
Fasting is like putting yourself through a trial to prove genuious of your faith.
Tiffany, look for a new pastor.
Something's wrong when a man tries to subvert the authority of a parent over their household and children
Tell home boy stay in his lane.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 tells us that in the last days there will a great falling away. Any preacher that does not study prophecy and teach on it at some time is a false teacher, because Paul in the short time that he spent in Thessalonica taught about the second coming and sexual immorality.
This tho !
The scripture does not explicitly say Jesus did not or did drink water. So it's all assumption. It is possible He did not drink because with Moses he was able to live without water but It states He ate nothing. So we know the fast was he ate nothing. So, the pastor was better off saying "we may assume Jesus did not drink water but the text only says He did not eat" that way your not teaching on assumption. Eaith way He should have heard her out better and been willing to study and make corrections. Why would you block her for having a legitimate concern? We all have to be humble and say what the word says and leave the rest to not knowing.
CANNED SERMONS!
When they support the secular Nation State of Israel
Not that she is wrong or lying, but there are always 2 sides, we have no idea if this is true or if she misunderstood here pastor. sounds like she want to be here sons pastor.
I believe she just doesn’t want her son to be mislead. I went through many false teachings myself and I’m kind of in a similar situation myself. We still attend church there, because I compare what he’s saying to the Bible. I know we won’t always agree on every single thing, but I’m just afraid of being misled and my son who’s still learning as well 😎🙏
She wants her son to know the truth of the gospel. Any parent would and should…………
@MajorasThoughts tongues is a major part of most Charistmatic church but always these rules
Pray for God to guide you
Read study. Good King James Version of the Holy Bible
Yes the church should full of the believers in Christ
But please know who Christ is by reading and studying
Most cities have Calvary Chapel those follow Christ
I be praying for you !
