My point is that this is a Kingdom... organizations are an invention of man and they hold absolutely no weight in God's sight. Organizations are the result of men worshiping their practice instead of practicing their worship. An organization will conform you into the image of itself, not Christ. Anything that identifies you outside of Christ alone is spiritually dangerous. God didn't call us to be good United Pentecostals or ALJC believers. God called us to be conformed into the very image and likeness of Christ and Christ alone.
One day these organizations will be buried in the dust of history...and the men who adore them will stand in judgment before the very one they were supposed to have adored.
Men form organizations to solidfy power, position, and wealth. To draw off disciples after themselves and thereby they also divide the body. Some are tyring to "fix" something by creating another broken system that someone else will try to "fix" with yet another broken system.
God has led me to just step out of the entire system to just speak and teach the Kingdom. I love it when I'm talking to a very "organizational/denominational" person in a coffee shop. Sometimes I'll tell them the truth about the Kingdom and they just stare at me. lol People are so conditioned to need a banner, a system, a position, a title, an association. There are no "organizations" in God's Kingdom. There is simply the Kingdom. Organizations are like mounds of human filth scattered across a narrow section of God's majestic country side.
