Standing on the doorstep of apostasy!

Doorsteps, photo by Julia Perera on Unsplash

“‭Remember‭‭ therefore‭ from whence‭ thou art fallen‭‭, and‭ repent‭‭, and‭ do‭‭ the first‭ works‭; or else‭ I will come‭‭ unto thee‭ quickly‭, and‭ will remove‭‭ thy‭ candlestick‭ out of‭ his‭ place‭, except‭ thou repent‭‭,‭” Revelation 2:5.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

I believe I may respectfully and reverently paraphrase the Saviour’s words in this manner:

“If you do not face up to the fact that you have backslidden and departed from what you once believed and practiced and return to your former ways, I will swiftly cast you off for you are on the doorstep of apostasy.”

We should remember that these words are addressed by the Saviour to a church which before was spoken of by Paul the Apostle in these words.

‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Ephesians 2:12-22‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

“‭That‭ at‭ that‭ time‭ ye were‭‭ without‭ Christ‭, being aliens‭‭ from the commonwealth‭ of Israel‭, and‭ strangers‭ from the covenants‭ of promise‭, having‭‭ no‭ hope‭, and‭ without God‭ in‭ the world‭:‭ ‭but‭ now‭ in‭ Christ‭ Jesus‭ ye‭ who‭ sometimes‭ were‭‭ far off‭ are made‭‭ nigh‭ by‭ the blood‭ of Christ‭.‭ ‭For‭ he‭ is‭‭ our‭ peace‭, who‭ hath made‭‭ both‭ one‭, and‭ hath broken down‭‭ the middle wall‭ of partition‭ ‭between us‭;‭ ‭having abolished‭‭ in‭ his‭ flesh‭ the enmity‭, ‭even‭ the law‭ of commandments‭ ‭contained‭ in‭ ordinances‭; for to‭ make‭‭ in‭ himself‭ of twain‭ one‭‭ new‭ man‭, ‭so‭ making‭‭ peace‭;‭ ‭and‭ that he might reconcile‭‭ both‭ unto God‭ in‭ one‭ body‭ by‭ the cross‭, having slain‭‭ the enmity‭ thereby‭‭:‭ ‭and‭ came‭‭ and preached‭‭ peace‭ to you‭ which‭ were afar off‭, and‭ to them that were nigh‭.‭ ‭For‭ through‭ him‭ we‭‭ both‭ have‭‭ access‭ by‭ one‭ Spirit‭ unto‭ the Father‭.‭ ‭Now‭ therefore‭ ye are‭‭ no more‭ strangers‭ and‭ foreigners‭, but‭ fellowcitizens‭ with the saints‭, and‭ of the household‭ of God‭;‭ ‭and are built‭‭ upon‭ the foundation‭ of the apostles‭ and‭ prophets‭, Jesus‭ Christ‭ himself‭ being‭‭ the chief corner‭ ‭stone‭;‭ ‭in‭ whom‭ all‭ the building‭ fitly framed together‭‭ groweth‭‭ unto‭ an holy‭ temple‭ in‭ the Lord‭:‭ ‭in‭ whom‭ ye‭ also‭ are builded together‭‭ for‭ an habitation‭ of God‭ through‭ the Spirit‭.‭” ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

It was a church of those gathered out of the darkness and ignorance of idolatry, a people without God, without hope and afar off. But they experienced reconciliation with God through the blood of the Lord Jesus and were now resting upon the foundation of the Holy Scriptures and enjoyed Holy Ghost fellowship with God the Father and were His holy habitation.

But see where they are just some thirty years later! They had “fallen”, no longer engaging in their first zealous works of holiness.

I. THE SAVIOUR CALLS UPON THEM TO REMEMBER FROM WHENCE THEY HAD FALLEN.

In this seventy fifth year of our existence as a denomination, just how much REMEMBERING of the stand taken by our founders and the generation that followed, has truly taken place?

I would claim there has really been very little.

Historical data

Oh yes, the details of the actions in Crossgar back in 1951, of Dr Paisley and the elders in the Lissara congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, have been repeated in a number of gatherings. The details of how the Presbytery of Down refused to allow a Gospel mission, at which Dr Paisley was the invited evangelist, to take place in church property, have been rehearsed.

But just how much of the ‘spirit of separation’ that our founders possessed and lived out, exists today amongst us?

There is not that much, in truth, when Free Presbyterian ministers can share meetings with ministers within the apostate denominations and our Presbytery has sanctioned such an ‘undoing’ of that step taken in Crossgar seventy-five years ago!

We are in grave danger of repeating the folly of Judah for which the Lord chided them by His servant Jeremiah. Click to read more…
