Which fellowship of Christians we meet with should of course be guided by The Holy Spirit our Advocate, Teacher & Comforter.
Being in submission and fellowship one with another in the Body of Christ is the right & proper thing to do but we should always be careful of not giving to man that which is rightfully only God's.
Remember, we are a priesthood of believers with our one and Only High Priest being Jesus Christ.
Authoritarian sects & fellowships seem to be on the rise lately- most have originated in the East
but have their modern day interpretation in the U.S.A. These sects from America have large amounts of cash to advertise - these are the Money Preachers!
Jesus said we cannot serve God & Money too; wewill love one and hate the other. The prosperity preachers have made their choice- have we?
Some groups will try to force or manipulate you into their mould.
Some teach the commandments of men as if they were the Word of God!
Some use the 'sacrements' to hold their converts, only the 'Minister' or 'Priest' being qualified to administer the ' Holy' rite.
Some disqualify more than half the fellowship from ministering to the Body of Christ because they were born Women!
