YOU WERE CALLED TO BE A DISCIPLE!

YOU WERE CALLED TO BE A DISCIPLE!

Of all the religions of the world today, none has as many divisions and denominations as Christianity (the Roman roots religion). When referring to Christianity, the name alone does not specify which of its many divisions is meant:

Eastern Orthodox, Episcopal, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh Day Adventist, Unification, Reformed, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Disciples of Christ, Christian Science, Church of God, Church of Scientology, Lutheran, Methodist, Pentecostal, Church of Christ, Unitarian, Mennonite, Anglican, and others, etc.

Although these churches share some similarities, such as a form of godliness, their differences are crucial in defining what truly characterizes followers of the Messiah. These differences include: the identity and deity of Yehoshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), Elohim's (God) plan of salvation, the existence of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), beliefs about Satan, the nature of the Trinity, adherence to the Torah, Elohim's (God) relationship with the Jewish people, the mission and destiny of the Ekklesia (church), and the identity of the true assembly of Yehoshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ).

This leads to the question:

Were you called to identify with a specific denomination, such as Baptist, Pentecostal, or Catholic?

NO, YOU WERE CALLED TO BE A DISCIPLE! Of what?

Christianity? NO . . . NO . . . NO

You should leave your ways in Greco-Roman Christianity and move on to follow the TRUTH of the Way of Yehoshua Hamashiach.
Rev 18:4  Then I heard another voice out of heaven say: "My people, come out of her! so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues,

Therefore, go and make DISCIPLES—meaning devoted followers and learners from all the nations, immersing them in the Name. . . Mat 28:19.

A person who is a disciple of the Way, Yehoshua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah), is not just a believer in Him; they are a person who has been transformed through the (Ruach HaKodesh), the Holy Spirit. The Ruach is believed to inspire and empower followers, and his or her lifestyle conforms to the teachings of the Torah. Messiah's halakhah. This includes accepting the whole council of God (Old and New Covenants), not just the comfortable parts or the word of YHVH you like. The term 'Ekklesia' refers to the assembly or gathering of believers. Answer your calling! Because you are being called back to the Hebraic Restoration of the Faith (Jude 1:3).

אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֗ה נָ֤תַן לִי֙ לְשׁ֣וֹן לִמּוּדִ֔ים לָדַ֛עַת לָע֥וּת אֶת־יָעֵ֖ף דָּבָ֑ר יָעִ֣יר ׀בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֗קֶר יָעִ֥יר לִי֙ אֹ֔זֶן לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ כַּלִּמּוּדִֽים׃

The Adonai YeHoVaH gave me a skilled tongue,

To know how to speak timely words to the weary.

Morning by morning,

He rouses,

He rouses my ear

To give heed like disciples. Isaiah 50:4
