Jesus Christ is "Our Vehicle to the Divine?" The Episcopal Church is in Big Trouble

Here's a test for you. You think you attend a Christian church?

1. Is the Bible preached as the authoritative inerrant Word of God? (2 Tim 3:16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness")
   
2. Is Jesus heralded as "the way the truth and the life" (John 14:6)
3. Is Jesus preached as Savior and Lord?
4. Is Christ presented as the only way of salvation? (Acts 4:12, " Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.")
5. Is Hell presented as a real place? And Heaven?
   
6. Is there a persuasive call for men to repent and believe the Gospel? 2 Corinthians 5:11, " Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men"
7. Have you ever heard the word "repent" in a sermon? Cf Acts 17:22-31 - "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent"

If your answers are "no" to the above, you are getting bland lifeless preaching!

Here's a warning to consider: I John 4:1-3, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world."
