YOU CALL YOURSELF CHRISTIAN! REALLY! ARE YOU GENUINE OR SPURIOUS?

Mt. 10:32 “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”

“Confess me,” that is, acknowledging personally that you belongs to Jesus Christ, not any other way. It is pointless to preach about the message you had doubts about. You must belong to Jesus Christ in full aspects, not attributing your fellowship to Roman Catholic, Protestants, or any other religion. It is surprising, as well as shameful to hear someone admitting he was born Adventist, or a Catholic. Did Catholic or Adventist, knew him from his mother’s womb? The truth of the matter is that heaven is for Jesus Christ, and His disciples, called Christians. None Christians will ever set their feet there.

Catholics belong to the Pope. Adventists belong to Ellen Gould White. Jehovah witnesses belong to William Miller. Christian scientists belong to Mary Baker Eddy. Mormons belong to Joseph Smith. Methodists belong to John Wesley. Lutherans belong to Martin Luther. Anglicans belong to Queen Elizabeth, and the Royal Family. Muslims belong to Mohammad, through Allah who is Satan. Buddhists belong to Gautama Buddha. The list goes on and on, to cover Evangelicals, Charismatics, Pentecostals, and so on. These are the ways human beings are domesticated in the corrupt worship, their minds pathetically poisoned, and completely enslaved in religious madness, until they die, if they had not have their eyes opened by the Holy Ghost.

Confession of Jesus Christ here involves commitment to Him as the One and only Lord and Saviour, and the resulting acknowledgement of Him by life, from the heart, which the lip loudly testifies. In reality, secret discipleship is a practical impossibility, even though the Church of Jesus Christ is invisible, being none among denominations, but fully functional, for Christ is alive forever.

Jesus Christ constantly called for an open confession of Himself by His followers, known as the genuine Christians. Christians must be willing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and with all that these terms apply. That confession must be “before men,” clearly indicates that it is publicly done. You must tell publicly that you don’t belong to Roman Catholic, Protestants, Islam, and neither any other religion, no matter the insults or oppositions you will get. This denial of religions, ministries, is the clear acknowledgement of belonging to Jesus Christ, which our Saviour, will alternatively confess in respect to His followers, before our Father which is in heaven. This true Christian faith is a vital necessity.

To confess, rendered Hebrew yadhah; Greek homologeo, is used of abiding in the faith, and walking according to the truth. That faith is Jesus Christ, and not denominations or religions. That truth is Jesus Christ, and not religious or political figures. To confess is openly to acknowledge the truth in anything, as in the existence and authority of God, and accept that man is guilty of sin, and nothing he could do by himself whether religious or political to get himself out of the spiritual quagmire. Occasionally it means to concede or allow (Jn. 1:20; Acts 24:14; Heb. 11:13). 1 Jn. 4:15, states: “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” The idea is that of confessing Christ out of a state of oneness with Him. “Abide in me and I in you…” (Jn. 15:4), basically revealed confessing Jesus Christ. It implies identification of the confessor with the Confessed, and thus takes confession out of the category of mere formal or verbal acknowledgement. The true confessor of Christ, that is, a genuine Christian, is one whose faith rests in Jesus Christ.

Thus, to confess, takes the following order: First, the person must surrender himself to Jesus Christ. He must be a willing slave. Second, the person must be ready to believe in Jesus Christ. He must be free from religious or denominational attachment. Third, the person must publicly profess to be solely the property of Jesus Christ. Fourth, the person must be thankful to Jesus Christ for saving his soul which was lost in the kingdom of darkness, and Fifth, the person must promise to walk a Christian walk in his entire life on earth. But there are consequences to those who feel that the Christ they hear, claimed to have, must be added to other traditions, leaders, or doctrines, or religious establishments.

Mt. 10:33, states: “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”

The Greek aorist tense, referred not to a single, abrupt denial, but to an entire lifelong resistance to Jesus Christ which shall never cease. Therefore, it is not a single act of denial which makes one unworthy of being disciple, but a refusal to confess Christ as the sole Owner of him at all, that eliminates one from being a true Christian.

To deny, Greek arneomai, meant: First, is to disown Jesus Christ. To say you don’t recognize Him as the Saviour of lost souls. Second, is to reject God for polytheism, prescribing to all faiths, thinking that all worshippers belong to God, thus going to heaven; and Third, to repudiate Jesus Christ in the face of the Gospel you claimed to be proclaiming or after getting the better knowledge of the Scriptures. You personally betrayed Jesus Christ at the expense of loving the world. Heb. 10:26-27, states: “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which will devour the adversaries.”

Anyone who will confess being a Catholic, Adventist, Pentecostal, Muslim, and any other ministry, denomination, or religion, had publicly denied of himself to be a follower of Jesus Christ. This person will be denied by Jesus Christ before our Father which is in heaven. To deny Jesus Christ is to refuse His salvation, to think you can worship by proxy, and to prevent Him from accessing your life. This is the conversation the Gospel saboteurs used to attack the genuine Christians: “How can you be a Christian without having any denominational fellowship?” then the person laughs! This person is a fool big time. Jesus Christ will tell him right straight in his face “I never knew you.”

Catholics are not Christians. Adventists are not Christians. Pentecostals are not Christians. Mormons are not Christians. Jehovah witnesses are not Christians. Any person attached to religions or denomination, is not a Christian whatsoever. In all, these are people who had denied Jesus Christ. The glory of Jesus Christ, cannot be shared with the Pope, not with Ellen Gould White, not with Joseph Smith, not with William Miller, not with Mohammad, not with David Edward Owuor of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness in Kenya, and not with any other person, be religious figure. When you call yourself “reverend” when reverence meant worship, who is God to you, when you’ve taken His place? David, the son of Jesse spoke of God in this wise: “He sent redemption unto his people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever, holy and reverend is His name,” Psalm 111:9. To say you are reverend so, and so, is plainly declaring that you’re god before them. Anyone who confesses Jesus Christ, along with any person of religious or political figure in the world, had in the real sense publicly denied Him. That person will be denied by the very Christ, and will find himself shamefully in hell. You call your pastor “his holiness,” when in the real sense he is a sinner, being immoral, and engaging in all manners of fraud! You call your bishop “reverend,” when you know he does not match God who created him, and is not a deity to be worshiped! You call Pope your “father,” when God is only the Father in heaven! You engage in demonic tongues, crocodile tears, and demonic miracles, to prove your salvation, when you know truly you are still in the kingdom of darkness, not saved! You preached the Bible, along with the messages written on books by religious leaders, knowing very well that these books contain satanic messages! How horrible is your situation! You should be ashamed of yourself. The people you deceive, is not the same as Jesus Christ, whom you think you will deceive, and bypass in the next world. The Son of God will reject you. Thereafter there will be shame, and torments in the everlasting fire in hell.

To conclude the message, here is the recapitulation: FALSE CONFESSION EXPOSED. “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,” 1 Jn. 2:4. WARNING AGAINST FALSE CONFESSION. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord , Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven,” Mt. 7:21. CONFESSION IS COMPULSORY FOR SALVATION. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation," Rom. 10:9-10.
