Have you ever wondered how the Church should be? Or perhaps, you have asked, Am I in the right church? Here are three scriptures to help us define it.
First: Acts 1:8 says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The Biblical church empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness.
Second: Acts 1:14 "They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." A 24/7 praying, constantly together church! Third: Acts 2:4 "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them." Holy Spirit Filled church and the evidence was speaking in other tongues".
Lastly: Acts 2:17“‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams. "
The Biblical Church was prophesied by scripture and foretold by the prophet Joel, and includes prophesy, vision, dreams, and an outpouring of God's Spirit.
In conclusion, The Biblical Church is not the modern, traditional, Orthodox, or any other denomination or doctrine, but one founded on the Word of God!
