Christians Together : Will the church be all-conquering before Jesus comes back?

I'm surprised no one has commented on this. It reminds me of the remark that while many Church Councils and Presbyteries have seen fit to call "heresy" over people who have magnified the love of God (eg McLeod Campbell), never a word has been said over all the excesses of damnation preaching down the ages (eg Jonathan Edwards).

Can anyone think of Church discipline being exercised because of over doing it on the wrath of God, or is it only possible to over do it on the love of God ??

These theories are in large part founded on either a refusal or inability to study and understand the word of God. They exclude certain passages of New Testament scripture because they just don't fit the Kingdom Now teaching. They exclude specific passages of scripture that explain in detail the rapture of the church. They exclude specific passages of the scripture that plainly describe the return of Christ to the earth with His saints, firstly to sit onthe throne of David in Jerusalem and to take up universal dominion on this earth for one thousand years. Christ is not yet on the throne. Scripture does not support this teaching. He is seated at the right hand of His God and Father. His kingdom is yet to come. He reigns now in the heart of every born again believer who is faithful to the word of God. We must base our theology, our doctrine and our practise as Christians on God's word, not on the ministry of post-Apostolic teachers, no matter how gifted.

A hearty amen, well put John. :-)
