I appreciate you brother. You are literally a gift to the body of Christ, especially in South Africa.
True, along with Pastor Mosa Sono❤
Im blessed. Thank you. God bless you
In the next video...do Address the significance of "Water Baptism in the Journey of Salvation" Both Scripturally and practicably.
I actually did in most part. Check out my videos on Water baptisms and baptism of the Holy Spirit on this channel.
@@giftmaseko3411 Great... I'm still consuming content from your old videos...I will surely get to it then. Shalom!
Jesus Christ is coming back let us spread the gospel all over. Bring light to where the is darkness and every one must hear the good news in broken world. Hallelujah! Amen
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
This video is so helpful, it will help one to choose which Church to go for especially when they move to a different country or continent. You don't wanna find yourself in a church that is against scripture and Christ. Thank you pastor Gift, to God be the glory.
You thin so, it doesn't start with going to church. Believe in Jesus John 3:16 BE BORN Again,. 🙏
Good day Sir, in the context of 1 Peter 1:15-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”.....Since you say it is impossible to do completely good, kindly explain this part.
We agree on the primary things and praise God for that
It's incomplete
Thank you God bless
“Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”
John 3:5
It’s much much more than just a public proclamation,none of us will see the kingdom of God without it,and it is through baptism that we receive God’s gift the Holy Spirit,Acts2:38
Shalom ✝️🙏🏿
With that said you would wonder if it doesn't save and doesn't condemn you why break away from each other over something like that, if your messiah did it why fight to differently Christianity is a religion of tares all denominations are an effect of divide and conquer . Yes they all agree on 1 thing lawlessness, they have said the law is done away with it only to turn around and make their own.
I was taught at Sunday school why and how our church (Methodist) came to be and as I grew older I always wondered why John Wesley was so important to the methodists... I was still looking for why he is held in such high regard and this video kind of cleared that up... Thank you very much for this abuti Gift, Ntate Modimo a hlohonolofatse mesebetsi ya hao.
I find what we know as church to be more about human tradition than loving. They can sometimes be stumbling block for some people.
thank you so much for sharing this type of knowledge , i now understand better...
Glad it was helpful!
So informative 👏 siyabonga.
as a methodist i would like to say it is scriptural that a man can be saved to the uttermost referencing in Psalms 18: 25 "to the blameless you show yourself blameless'' just as Job who was blameless and upright
Alihamb' ivangeli Ngcamane Maseko
A very informative video❤
Glad you think so!
Good job sir
I like how you mentioned whats primary and not primary very important sir
Great clip, very informative as well. I'm definitely more Arminian leaning in my theology though and don't subscribe to the Calvinistic world view. I think scriptures such as 1Tim 2:4 and John 3:16 amongst others make it very clear that God desires ALL men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth and that Christ died for ALL men and not just a select few.
None of the options you listed perfectly describe the UAAC. It's most accurately described as African Independent/Indigenous Churches (AIC) or Zionist Christian churches. These categories are specifically for churches that originated in Africa and often blend Christian beliefs with local African traditions. While some AICs might share some similarities with certain denominations on your list (like Pentecostal churches in their emphasis on the Holy Spirit), they are not directly affiliated with or considered part of those denominations. The UAAC is its own distinct branch of Christianity.
They all use Bible but don't make disciples 😢😢😢 instead they maintain congregation 😢
If we belong to any denomination that compromises on the teachings meant to nurture our "soul salvation," it undermines the very purpose of spiritual growth. Wouldn't you agree? While any teaching might seem good on the surface, it is vital to grow in the knowledge of truth and grace in the right manner. If teachings are diluted or altered to fit structures or traditions, is that truly acceptable?
It is crucial to stand firmly for what is scripturally sound so that we not only influence the world but also grow in Christ. Falling into complacency by adhering only to the basics can be dangerous. Even the world and those who deceive may believe in or teach the basics. The real question is: What are we growing into?
Yes, division among believers is not ideal, but it often arises due to critical reasons that can not be ignored. Being clear and steadfast in what aligns with scripture is essential for authentic spiritual growth and influence.
This would've been a little much better if you had made a video separate from the one already existing then referenced the video. Maybe later explain those that are dominant in the country and those not mentioned and where they stand.
Like the zionist, African traditional churches etc. As well as the thin line between Charismatic and Pentecostal seeing that they're growing in the land
Great video
It's easy for churches to write constitution of the church, then use it to manage the administration of the church but God is Spirit and they that worship Him shall do it in spirit and in truth
Nice video. I thought you'll talk about the Catholic Church. You seemed to mention the Catholic priest right in the Presbyterian segment.😢
The thing is that they end up not emphasising“Essential” things!
Can you also look into Christians that worship on the Sabbath and those that worship on Sunday cause in the early churches they worshiped solely on the sabbath only, the Sunday thing came with the Roman church and thats how the scripture was changed.
Am also very interested in the sabbath topic.
Why are all this Churches don't acknowledge Jesus Christ, who brought Salvation by Jesus when individual humans believe in Christ Jesus John 3:16. If not born again the Baptism, Communion and all those activities is incomplete. Sad😢😢😢😢 that we rather say yes to attend Churshes based on their mission but not do the main thing? Jesus is the Chief Shepherd and is Him who will come back and take his Bride Church (Those who believed in Him) not DENOMINSTIONS
Regarding baptisim please read chapter 3 John the discusion between Jesus and Nicodimas
Haibo not the Adventist church not being included because it's unclear whether we believe in the essentials ot not. We actually do and have quite a lot in common with those mentioned.
What does the sda church about i see a lot about it
May i also just ask why is the day of worship not one of the co-values of christianity when it seems to be mention even on the ten Commandments?
W redeamed zoomer and W Gift!
They agree great, 💯 Further to that do they believe, John 3:16 repent and accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord? 🤔 Born Again) Saved by grace... Then fellowship (go to church) 😮
Pls so which one is the church that CHRIST said He will build nd the gates of hell shall not prevail against it because this church is supposed to be one in all things according to 1 CORINTHIANS 1:10 nd JOHN 17:2o-21
Truth of God. What about them? Gino Jennings church. They hold a radically different view from most Christian denominations. Can you do a video on them?
And I have this question, why is baptism always encouraged in the Bible and yet some people see it as a 'by the way' type of thing?
Thank you.
Greetings brother Tlhogi, it's not Jennings church but God's... Jesus Christ. TOG - Gino Jennings.
@sibusisomabaso5309 you know what I mean.
John 3 v 1 -21. -Baptism.
The apostles, the priests and the kings in the kingdom of God, the heirs of salvation were not christians. Not God, not themselves were named Christians. But the people of Antioch named them that and even now majority call themselves Christians but by their fruits they are known not to follow Christ. Read Acts 11:26
When someone say something e.g" baptism " is "JUST" a , shows a sense of belittling and lack of knowledge of about that.
Baptism is more important and it goes hand in glove with Salvation.. Jesus himself said " He who believes and is baptised shall be saved" Mark 16: 15-17.
Paul said baptism also saves us 1 Peter 3:21.
Baptism is a burial of the old man with Jesus. Romans 6: 4-5. Anyway thanks for trying your best. You will get there.
Let me help you my brother... there's no denomination in the Bible... there's only one church according to the bible... if we can look at what God says rather than what people say...we will find the truth and the bible is truth...so people should find the...ONE TRUE CHURCH GOD TALKS ABOUT.
Paul and James had different theology around jesus
Amen and amen
@prophetofanu8933 that's your opinion and it's based on nothing and clearly you don't read much of the Bible because you just LIED...😳 And lastly people can have different views of someone doesn't mean they are wrong...it's just their perspective on the matter and how the holy spirit helped them to tell the gospel...even the synoptic Gospels don't all record things the same way and according to you there's a problem with that? 😂😂😂
AMEN
The church father's are responsible for what all these unbiblical Christian denominations agree on and the same church father's contradicted the scripture in some cases while defining the so called Christian values.
If Calvanism is true, then there is no free will. In John 17, all whom the Father gave the Son were not lost but 1, and that is Judas.
I stand to be corrected by the way
WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN AND FOLLOW CHRIST. AND MOVE FROM AMASIKO, MY BROTHER WE NEED TO LEAVE OUR SINFULL WAYS. READ GALATIANS 5 NO SINNER GOES TO HEAVEN..
You were completely wrong. When Nicene creed was created, these churches were not exist, except Catholic and orthodox church(both were in communion though during that time).
please research the history.
Clearly you did get the point of this video. This was not a church history focused video. Watch again!
We are in South Africa where most belong to the indigenous denominations. Otherwise great video
Baptistism symbolises that born again Christian has died and now Christ lived in you.
Google truth of God my brother and listen how Apostle jennings will educate you about the church God is coming for
One faith
One Lord
One baptism
Baptism is commanded in the scriptures and you can't be saved without being baptized
Show one instance where one was saved without being baptized
The thief on the cross
There's no such thing as Christianity we formed that ourselves and called it a religion while condemning other religions saying they're not true which is causes wars and racism etc.
While the bible says we are children of god which is the title gave us if and only if we expect Jesus as our lord and personal savor.
Acts11:26
and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
Not man made at all,it was in Antioch that our fellow believers started being called CHRISTIANS,they were called Christians because they were behaving like Christ!!! Even though they thought they got rid of Christ through death,suddenly a whole lot of mini Christs were popping up everywhere…then tada 🎉 Christians!! ❤️✝️
im a proud Christian regardless how the enemy is trampling in the mud the body of Christ and putting the Lords name in shame.
I belong to the party of the Nazarite ✝️🙏🏿❤️🩸👑⚔️
@ntombikayisetemba2277 I hear you but "we were called" christians based of the lifestyle we lived and our believe in Christ. It's still no the title God gave us maybe I'm wrong. I'm so glad to meet my fellow brother in Christ. Jesus loves us all✝️🙏😭🔥
Maybe you're right
@@ntombikayisetemba2277Our Messiah wasn't a Christian, the apostles were not Christians they were followers of the way, the bible says they were first called Christians in Antioch, Antioch was a city filled with many religions you can say pagan city, they were called by that name by pagans to be specific they never called themselves that why should we ? After all the church fathers of founders of this religion were pagans using Greek philosophy to figure out the Hebrew God. Our fathers is calling us put of this lawlessness religion that endorses pagan beliefs like trinity, Christmas which is spoken against in Jeremiah 10.
@@babyrich9797 you are right Christianity was formed by men and not even the men the Messiah left in charge or his people but by the pagans that joined the faith and took over it with their own agendas and it keeps exposing itself with every chance Christians try to wash it clean.
The history of this religion was founded by the removal persecution of the Yahudim or Jews that also believed in the Messiah from having any influence on it then followed the philosophical debates about their faith their God and their Messiah and the changing of their names followed by introduction of pagan beliefs to appease and win the hearts of their people before it was packed and shipped all over the world. It's a religion of tares.
Also, what would you make of this. Don't you think it suggests that the Eucharist is not just symbolic.
1 Corinthians 11:27-30
[27]Therefore anyone who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily is answerable for the body and blood of the Lord.
[28]Everyone is to examine himself and only then eat of the bread or drink from the cup;
[29]because a person who eats and drinks without recognising the body is eating and drinking his own condemnation.
[30]That is why many of you are weak and ill and a good number have died.
Hi. Thank you for another amazing video. I believe the emphasis on the Holy Spirit is not to put it above G*d Himself or Jesus Christ, it is in fact the acknowledgement of the method that G*d uses to relay His will to us.
Is the story about Jesus or Horus? I bet the bible was copied from Egyptian mythology.
🙏😔🙏😌✍️😀🌍🤝Wena you must just come to Reformed theology, we are naturally born as Arminian but once saved you are reformed.
On baptists, there's the liberal and the reformed. The liberal baptist is more Pentecostals all Arminian.
On the Lord's supper, it differs with catholicism transubstantiation "literal body" Lutheran speak of the presence of the Lord spiritually.
We can all agree that the Anglican who are in their diverseness (evangelical, social, African theology, reforms) it gave birth to Pentecostals, from Anglicanism came Methodist/Episcopal or Wesleyan. Wesleyan believed in perfectionism, the holiness movement which "Our 🇿🇦Enigma" always proposes. Pentecostals will say the 2nd blessing or faulty holy spirit baptism were you can be gifted ( Pentecostals is classical, charismatics and prophetical). I don't think I will settle for just anything my diet is very particular 😊
Guys do not be deceived, theology and philosophy will get you to hell. Jesus is coming this guy is very dangerous dont rely on him but on scriptures.
Colossians 2:8.
