It seems that many people are not coming to grips with the serious error of the entire church growth movement that has run the gamut from Purpose Driven to Emergent. Jesus said, "I will build My Church", so we know that this Church is not built by man nor organized by man. Man is not the author or the creator of it. The Church that Jesus is building is "from above." It is something that originates in the Spirit and by the Spirit. "Church" is simply that which Jesus is building upon the foundation of Himself. It consists of those to whom God has chosen to reveal His Son. This revelation of who we are in Christ and who Christ is in us is the key. Without this firm foundation we cannot know, understand or experience being part of the Church. Our religious head knowledge is of virtually no significance, or the repeating of the so-called "Sinner's Prayer" means nothing apart from the revelation of Jesus Christ. Those structures not built upon the Foundation of Jesus Christ will fall of their own accord (I Corinthians 3:12-15). In the last days the Spirit of Antichrist will dominate and rule the world system, attempting to blot out the true Church. Outwardly speaking it appears to be succeeding. However, we can have confidence that the Church that Jesus is building cannot be overcome by the gates of hell. George Cancilla
