Are We To Change The World?
False Teaching:
“The Church must grow past the ‘Gospel of Salvation’ message and understand that it is only when we begin to implement the principles of the ‘Gospel of the kingdom’ that we will really begin to see change in lives and cities and nations. The Church has no understanding of this realm. . . The Church must grow up. . . . "
Dale Neill, president of ICCC, the International Christian Chamber of Commerce
Truth:
"My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight...''
John 18:36
No. The “great commission" is:
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
Mark 16:15
And when it is not received we are not to use coercion
"And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet."
Matthew 10:14
AND ...we are to beware of false prophets
"Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many...
But he who endures to the end shall be saved...
This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Matthew 24:14
We were not told to “take” the world. We were told only to preach the Gospel.
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15
Also, we were told most will not believe:
“ ...narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:14
and the very next verse says:
v15: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”
These “Dominionists” are the epitome of false prophets.
