The Church that Jesus Christ died for is inclusive and not exclusive.

Some have made the Church exclusive here in China and sad to say as some have made it the rest of the world too. I have seen a Church which had people at the gate and they would only allow members in and they would lock the gate. All this happening in a free country like Australia and now I see it here too.

Q1/ We should judge people to see if they can come to our Church. (True or false)

Q2/ For God so loved the world He sent His Son. (True or false)

What are people doing to their First Love, He came because He loved the world and He died for all mankind not for just a few? We have to go into the entire world.

Matthew 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (MKJV)

Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen. (MKJV)

The few that are mentioned above are those who make their own decision to do two things;

One to become a believer and it is only a few that will be saved from the entire world.

Q3/ Not everyone will be saved. (True or false)

Then out of this number we come to point two, that is out of the entire believer only a few will become servants who will pay the price to serve.

I don’t know who will be saved that’s up to God and the person.

I don’t know who will become a servant that is up to the believer and the leading of God. Of course God does anoint the leader to see a servant but that not too hard they want to help you.

Q4/ We are not God and therefore we can’t judge anyone. (True or false)

Q5/ We don’t know who will be saved. (True or false)

Q6/ Fear should stop the Church from allowing people in. (True or false)

 Luke 10:2 Then He said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send forth laborers into His harvest. (MKJV)

Q7/ Who are the few Laborers here? It’s those who are about the Fathers business. (True or false)

Jesus said we shouldn’t hinder the little ones to come to Him and He also said that He will call all men to Him when He was lifted up. The little ones are not just children, but also those who have not been born-again.

We all needed to hear the Word so that the seed was planted and then it could grow in our heart until we were saved. The figures show that it takes about 30 seeds of the word of God for the average person to come to Jesus.

Q8/ If we come to Jesus like a little Child will He accept us. (Yes or No)

Q9/ The seed needs time to grow in a person heart. (True or false)

One of my students from our fellowship went to Beijing to work or study I’m not sure. She wanted to go to a fellowship so she found out where one was and she went there by herself. She went in just like she would at our fellowships and was pushed out the door by the brethren.

The Body Christ needs to be inclusive because we are not God and we are to demonstrate the Love of Jesus to each other and to this lost and dying world. I deeply sadden and incensed when I hear of such things where people are rejected.

Q10/ We have been rejected by God. (True or false)

Q11/ We should reject people because they look different. (True or false)

An exclusive Church is not a Church it is a club for people who don’t fit anywhere else. We need to throw away the bonds of fear and welcome new people.

The local Church is a group of born-again believers coming together in the name of Jesus in a particular local or region or home regularly with the unsaved who have been invited.

Q12/ The born-again believer are only a club. (True or false)

Q13/ Fear can stop people from being good servants of God. (True or false)

We all come from different backgrounds with a wide range of differences. Some from different religious groups, some are prostitutes, some educated, some poor, the rich the depraved, the broken in spirit, the blind, the physiological impaired and those who are lost.

Q14/ If you are a Christian you were never a sinner. (True or false)

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.   (KJV)

Q15/ The Spirit of the Lord empowers us to do the work of the ministry. (True or false)

The local church has a particularly vision for the people in a there local. It is the vehicle that God uses for the regeneration process, which takes place in every believer. That is to say as we deal with issues in our Christian life we can call upon our brothers and sisters to help us in our development in Christ.

Q16/ The local Church is in the area to help people who live there. (True or false)

1Corinthians 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness. 24 But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. 26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are; 29 so that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 31 so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord." (MKJV)

Q17/ We are and have been the things that are not. (True or false)

Q18/ We should remember our beginnings of our Christian life. (True or false)

Q19/ Because we are not we can glory in the Lord. (True or false)

The inclusive Church of Jesus is a place of healing for all, because it is the few that find salvation that need the healing and are healed.

Q20/ We should not judge others because we are all a work in process. (True or false)

Sin is a spiritual decease and all have caught the pandemic aliment and the only one who can heal is Jesus.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,(MKJV)

This lesson is about the incorporation of the unsaved into the Church therefore it is a Church of inclusion and not exclusion of people. However there is an area of exclusion in the Church and that is in the area of doctrine. We are not inclusive of the teaching of the world or other religions.
