I AM AN ANGLICAN BUT NOT AN ANGLICAN
Part 2
Well… let me shock you that God will not judge or reward us congregationally or doctrinally, it will be individualistic, bible says “…He is not unjust that he will forget the labor of YOUR love.” The great reason why there must be fellowship is to strengthen our faith through each other and build ourselves together [Prov.27:17], it is also to show love which is the essence of your faith and to test our faith through imperfect believers which is a very good intention. A line in Anglican’s apostles creed says “…we believe in the CATHOLIC church, the communion of saints...” catholic in this context does not mean Catholic Church as denomination, it means Unity, oneness, United, togetherness.
Now, when I declared that I’m not an Anglican, it doesn’t mean I disown Anglican already, no! it means my knowledge is not limited to Anglicanism, I am far beyond that, I’m now into Pentecostalism of Anglicanism, the only doctrine I know and bounded to is Jesus’ doctrine: what the bible says, teaches and directs me to do, why challenges beyond me do happen to me, why I must still praise God even during hard times, the level of my personal growth in spiritual things, and many more, considering these things I realized that I’m far beyond Anglican doctrine. I can fellowship in any other churches and still cope perfectly with their doctrine since I know how I build myself and grow spiritually in my personal relationship with God. I expect imperfect behavior from imperfect church members due to their ignorance, mediocrity or immaturity, myself inclusive, immature believers are prone to UnChristlike behaviors, all I have to do is effect a positive change in the place I fellowship.
The gathering of believers is what matter most and it’s the reason there is church, it’s the thing I love most in life, the way a church divide the word of truth is also very relevant, there are some that divide it to excuse themselves from some sins, my friend, try to let them see light even if they still disagree, besides, you don’t have to expect a very perfect division of the scriptures from anyone in any church, we learn from each other to groom ourselves and improve our spiritual growth collectively, no one is fully grown to maturity, we keep growing everyday depending on how we voraciously consume the word on any basis.
I have issue with every churches (Anglican Inclusive), they are too much engrossed with their church doctrines that most of them forget how to serve God correctly. I don’t move from one church to another just because I don’t like their doctrines, since we are imperfect believers, its normal to have flaws in doctrinal coordination, rather I stay in one church, participate actively, impact the church positively and fellowship with them in love and unity, I’ll fill in where I’m needed and utilize my gifts or talents to praise God and fellowship. Truth be told, there are some so called churches that teach and wrongly divide the word of truth (the bible), if they claim that you can’t do without sin, it will be so obvious that they see normality in sinning, if you try to address the truth and they keep refusing backing themselves up with the help of the leaders, my friend, I will advise you run away from such church because they really don’t know Jesus.
