I am not convinced of scripture supporting 'apostolic succession'. Can someone present something other than the one misinterpreted verse of Matthew 16:18?

Elijah here. There is NOTHING in the Masters Word of such satanic stuff! It is just the opposite & you are quite right with 'their satanic spiritual dead hobby/horse' of the misinterpreted verse of Matt. 16:18.

Christ even divorced His very own Virgin church & shut the door of their probation! (not the individuals) See John 1:11, Matt, 25:10, Matt. 23:38, Rev. 2:5. Yet, He started the New Fold of Acts up with His same Virgin set of Doctrines and a 'remnant' who followed Him out of old Israel! Matt. 23:1-3 & Isaiah 5:1-9.

Anyway: Christ Himself Tel's you the EVIDENCE you ask for a couple chapters over from Matt. 16, in Matt. 18:15-18, and note the 'KEYS' are given 'by Christ' to His New Church to [b]BIND or REMOVE from the heavenly ZION'S Church by His OBEDIENT ones here on earth.[/b] (which is CONDITIONAL as is ALL THE ETERNAL GOSPEL CONDITIONS! Rev. 14:6) You can read Joshua 7 for this Truth. Verse 12 ibid.. tells US a Eternal Truth that 'I WILL NOT BE WITH YOU ANYMORE EXCEPT..' Achan was given several chances to come forward also.


[15] Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

[16] But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

[17] And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

[18] Verily I say unto you, [b]Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.[/b] (Forum: Did you get that??)

This seems self explanatory. The [OBEDIENT CHURCH] Love Christ [FIRST] and all the members. When one is ready for Baptism (Matt. 28:20) and the church finds that the party is SINCERE, they are added to the Earthly True Fold (church) as well as being recorded into the Lamb's Book of life in the Heavenly ZION FOLD.

OK: God does not play games with the CHURCH either! As pointed out in the above verses. The CHURCH IS CONDITIONALLY 'ETERNAL COVENANTED (Heb. 13:20) ACCEPTED. So when Christ speaks of 'BEING LOOSED IN HEAVEN', it applies to the whole Fold (church) as well. Here we see when any member goes against the Law of God (1 John 3:4) & will not repent, he is REQUIRED to be removed from the earthly church membership books & is also removed from the heavenly ZION CHURCH BOOKS. That is what the Eternal Gospel of Christ has SAID> these are His Words.

When one reads of this REQUIREMENT of Christ, remember that it is not the attempted 'mind reading' things that He is talking about, but OPEN UNREPENTED SEEN & DOCUMENTED SINS that is to be brought before the whole church body,
and has nothing to do with a Peter the one man pope garbage!!

When anyone sins the sin of OMISSION by not following these Gospel REQUIREMENTS for whatever the 'Lukewarm' reason might be? They too are held accountable for the sins as if they had done the thing them selves. THEY ARE A REV. 18:4 [PARTAKER]! As seen in the case of ALL of Israel with Achan' case.
