I know people who are Roman Catholic, and who are Eastern Orthodox, they are committed and devoted. Their wives look like Apostolic Pentecostals, and they are committed to prayer, fasting, and living a sanctified life.
Through it all they have a doctrine which is incredibly flawed.
Those flaws will not allow them to pass go and collect the 100.00 .

These individuals I have mentioned have done all the above, but they lack the truth. They need to leave the false and come into His marvelous light.
It's just that simple.

God knows this and will keep calling them to move forward. It's man who fails to proceed to the next step, not God. He calls all to come and dine, to learn of Him, and to obey
Mat 5:48.

You can pray your brains out and if you never obey to proceed forward you will never grow to maturity. If the minister never points the way and says go further the convert falls into a ditch.

Sweet love of God, then I suggest you ditch the bike and sunglasses and start seeking some.

Sounds like double speak to me. How about teaching the people the Word and compell them to seek and search.

The one in the scriptures, and by the way Oneness means a plural working as a single unit. Let's keep it One God.
