Don’t Go Beyond What is Written – Part 2 – 10-21-25

~ Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it. 1 Corthianians 12:27

Do NOT be deceived today, and many are in fact deceived already, but corporate church membership is NOT biblical. And that is something that is key for us to understand today. We give lip service to the word of God by displaying our actions of becoming “church members” to a worldly church that is NOT the True church of God. The True church is born again believers, that are spread throughout the whole world. We are not to be members of a man-made church. For ALL who are in Christ are members of the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it if you are in Christ Jesus.

Stop believing satan’s lie of being a member of a “church;” that is NOT biblical. Because most, almost ALL teach the main foundational lie of ongoing forgiveness by God. And if you are hooked into the “church membership” idea, you will not likely move on and seek Truth, or teach TRUTH yourself, if you “feel” like you are the member of that false church. Many will even justify staying there, because they will say no one else is teaching TRUTH. Well, start a Bible study yourself. Even if it is you and your wife. Because if you and your wife are both TRUE born again believers, then you are the church right there. You are fellowshipping together. And if you want to invite others, at the leading of the Holy Spirit, do so. Teach TRUTH. We have lots of bible study books available that teach TRUTH directly from the word of God.

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “And so what else do we add? What’s another obvious one that we add? Church membership. It seems to me that does not the Bible say that when you come to Christ, you become a part of the body of Christ, right? A member of the Body of Christ. Well, if you’re born again and you’re a member of the Body of Christ, what do you need to be a member here for? And so what is it? Adding to it. That’s why we don’t have a membership here, but it’s also why some people flake in and out about every six months. Because I could put you on guilt trips and really lay it on you if you’re not here, it’s good to see you again, Brother, you’ve aged you. Church memberships not biblical. You’re already a member of Body of Christ.” ~ Bob George

Bob George 0:29
What I do know is that decision goes into the hands of a perfectly loving and a perfectly just God, and I believe, unless something’s wrong with our thinking, we can trust Him for that decision, but it’s not given. So because we’ve got to have all the answers, somebody said, Well, let’s baptize them. Let’s sprinkle them, because we’ll drown them if we dunk them. So let’s sprinkle them. And that’ll assure that will assure that there’s of their salvation. No, it doesn’t. No one’s saved by getting baptized. No one’s getting saved by getting sprinkled outside of that. You ought to just bring in a big hose and just douse the whole group in here and say, That’s it. You’re all in you. But because they want answers, they come up with beyond what is written.

What about today, where you see you never saw that before, but in these last years, how about slaying people in the Spirit. Do you find that in the Bible? Is there anything in the Bible? It tells to me that the Spirit came to give life, not knock the daylights out of you. And isn’t it amazing how those people that get slain in the Spirit always get slain and fall into the arms of people with the gift of catching if you ever noticed that, even when one lady wig was falling off and she was going back, but she caught it before she passed out? Folks, this is nonsense. There is nothing in the Scripture about going over and blowing on somebody, or hitting them in the head, or just You’re so powerful you just slay them in the Spirit. Anything about that? What is that? Adding to what’s written. And that’s where your following comes in. I follow Benny because he slays you in the Spirit. Well, you’re going to follow him to hell, because if you believe that does something for you, there must be something wrong with your mind, because you don’t know the Scripture. It’s not there, not there. That’s why he’s saying, don’t add, don’t go beyond what is written.

What else? Well, new prophecy. I’m a prophet. Did you guys know that I’m a prophet? Now, you see, if you believe that there should be a mass exodus, in my opinion, out this door. But you know, you get some people say, Yeah, that’s right, that’s right. No, no, no, no. Is when this Canon was closed, when the perfect came. That means nothing else to be added. Remember, Book of Revelation says you added this book, you’re under a curse? When this book was finished, God’s prophecy ended. There is nothing more that God wants us to know about himself than is here. There is nothing more that God wants us to know about end times than what is here. There is no need for someone to come up to me and say, God told me to tell you. I say, Hold on a minute, brother. If God wants to talk to me, he’ll talk to me. He doesn’t need to talk to you to talk to me. But I cannot tell you the number of people who walk around and will come up to you. I’ve had it happen. One guy came up almost lost his life. Put his hand on my head. God told me, I said, Get your hands off of my head. He didn’t tell you anything. If God wants to tell me something, he’ll tell me. Any you people have out there have over two kids? How many of you have over two kids? How many of you want to want one kid to know something? You go to the other kid and tell tell him to tell him, No, you go to him direct, don’t you? But we have people who think that, what is that adding to that’s putting yourself in a position that I know something that you don’t have guys I don’t know, one earthly thing that you don’t know, or at least are not capable of getting a hold of, not a thing. I don’t have a special knowledge, and neither does any other pastor or these so called ministries.

And so what else do we add? What’s another obvious one that we add? Church membership. It seems to me that does not the Bible say that when you come to Christ, you become a part of the body of Christ, right? A member of the Body of Christ. Well, if you’re born again and you’re a member of the Body of Christ, what do you need to be a member here for? And so what is it? Adding to it. That’s why we don’t have a membership here, but it’s also why some people flake in and out about every six months. Because I could put you on guilt trips and really lay it on you if you’re not here, it’s good to see you again, Brother, you’ve aged you. Church memberships not biblical. You’re already a member of Body of Christ.

We come accountability groups, friends. I want to tell you something. If I can’t be accountable to God, why do you think I’m going to be accountable to you? Quiet Time sounds good, but you know what happens when you preach quiet time? Well, it’s in did you have yours today? You did? Well, I can’t outdo you on that one. What time did you have it? Six? I had mine at five. Pride began to start comparing yourself, that I’m more holy than you are. All of this stuff sounds good. Lot of stuff sounds good. Living by principle sounds good, but it says it doesn’t do one earthly thing to cure sensual indulgence.

How about asking God to give you what he’s already given you, is that adding to what’s written? Yes, it is. You see, my friends, if we’re supposed to walk by faith, and the Bible tells us that without faith, it’s what? Impossible to please God. Now, folks, that doesn’t mean it just, it just kind of doesn’t please him a little bit. It says it is impossible to please God if you’re not walking by faith in God and what He came to accomplish for you, impossible. So when I am asking God to give me what he says, I’ve already given you is that faith? Are you all thinking? Is that faith? No. Are you born again? How do you know you’re born again? Because you’re one of the elect that’s also adding, how do you know you’re born again? Well, because there was a time in history when I became aware of the fact that I was a sinner, and I became aware that there’s a consequence to sin called death, spiritual death, and if I’m dead, I need life. And Jesus came along and said, I came that you might have what? Life. And I recognize I’m dead spiritually, and I need life. And Jesus said, I am the life. And I accepted him into my heart as my Lord and Savior. I thanked him for his forgiveness, and I asked him to come and give me what I didn’t have spiritual life. I had physical life that I got from mom and dad, but I didn’t have spiritual life. That’s why it says you must be born of the water that’s physical birth and the spirit that’s spiritual birth, two births. Now if you’re born again, would it be faith for me to be praying to God, Oh Lord, please give me eternal life? I mean, you want eternal life, don’t you, but you got eternal life. He who has a son has what life? What kind of life did he give you? Eternal. So would it be faith for me to be saying to God, Lord, please give me eternal life? Would it? No guys think this through, because if you’re confused, something is wrong. That isn’t confusing. If you’ve got it, you don’t get it. If you don’t get it, it’s because maybe you don’t got it. Would it be faith to say, Lord, please redeem me? No, why? I’m already redeemed in him, I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Is it faith to ask God to forgive you? No, you sin well, then what do you do when you sin? Well, if it’s not what I do when I sin, it’s what did he do when I sinned. And if I know what he did, then I know what I’m supposed to do, but because I don’t know what he did, then I make up my own as to what I do. Some say, you go to a priest. Some people know you don’t have to do that. You can go direct. Some people say, like Martin Luther, you climb up and down on your knees, on the concrete, on the stairway. You agonize. Jesus. Said, you say, thank you. Faith says, Thank you. I know what he did with my sin. You were born forgiven. You don’t get forgiven. You were born forgiven. God was. In Christ, reconciling, what? How many people? The whole world unto Himself, not counting their sins against him. Is that true or isn’t it? Is it true or isn’t it, guys? It’s true, and if it is true, how do you respond to that? Please do. No. Thank you Lord, thank You Lord.

And so these are just a few ways that we go beyond what is written. And he says, Don’t do that. It says, When you don’t go beyond, then you will not take pride in one man over another. So what causes you to take pride in one man over another? Adding to what is written, coming up with your own ideas? Don’t do it for who makes you different than anyone else. What do you have that you did not receive and if you didn’t receive it, why do you boast as though you did not and if you did receive it, excuse me, why do you boast as though you did not? So he’s saying, What Are you bragging about? If you don’t add to what’s written, then what you know is what’s written, and what you know is what’s written, and what you know is what’s written, and what you know is what’s written. That’s why we got unity. We both know what’s written, and we both have the Spirit of God living in us to reveal what it means. That’s why there’s a unity here. Already you have all you want.

Already you become rich. Now, folks, he’s dealing here with the Corinth church. This was probably the most carnal, sinful church that was ever on the face of the earth. Everything under the sun was taking place in Corinth. You can go there today and still see. You had women walking in the street with signs on their ankles saying, follow me. Guess where they were going. You had temple prostitution. You had open baths. You had every kind of sin under the sun. And what did God do? Sent Paul right into the midst of that city and said, Go preach the gospel. But he said, You guys have become rich. You know, probably was a rich city too, you guys, have you become more knowledgeable than us as apostles, you become kings and that without us, you didn’t need us. You didn’t think you needed anybody, self sufficient sinners. How I wish that you had really become kings, so that we might become kings with you. You’ve just become so much better, better than us.

Now, folks, these are the men whom God hand picked. They weren’t people who went to cemetery. They were people that God hand picked. They were not the eloquent of the world. They were not the highfalutin of the world. They were common fishermen. They were just normal people. That’s why Paul said when I came to you, I didn’t come to you with lofty words and brilliant ideas, because I wanted your faith to stand in Him, not in us. But he said, here now the tail seems to be wagging the dog. You seem to have grown smarter and more knowledgeable than those who brought the message to you. You seem to have lost respect, as he said, of regarding the people who brought this message to you as those entrusted with the things of God, God given.

And look what he says. It seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession. It was kind of like with prisoners, where they had put them in these cages and wheeled them in at the back of the procession for everybody to make fun and throw rocks at and and to make fun of them. And he says, it seems to me that that’s where you’ve put us, at the back of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena, we’ve been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ. We are weak, but you’re strong. You are honored, but we’re dishonored. To this very hour, we go hungry and thirsty. We are in rags. We are brutally treated. We are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless. When we are persecuted, we endure it. When we are slandered, we answer kindly. And up to this moment, we have become by them, the scum of the earth, the refuge of the world.

The next time one of our staff asks for a raise, this is the passage that I’m going to give to you.

Now, guys, I want us to turn over for a moment to the sixth chapter of First Timothy, because Paul talks about, in a moment that I’m going to send you, Timothy, I want you to turn over to the sixth chapter beginning in verse three. Y’all have got it. Y’all got it. Okay, if anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited, understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy and strife and malicious talk evil suspicions and constant friction between men of a corrupt mind who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

The prosperity gospel. Is it biblical? Does this sound like men who are the recipients of the prosperity gospel? Name it and claim it, blab it and grab it. God wants everybody to be rich. What happened to the apostles? They were made a spectacle. Fools. You’re wise. We’re not, we’re weak, you’re strong, you’re honored. We’re dishonored. To this very day, we go hungry. Does that sound like a prosperity gospel to you? We’re in rags. Does that sound like a prosperity gospel to you? Although I am somewhat amazed when you go into the store and you see these blue jeans that have holes in them, and they’re supposed to be new, dumb and dumber. We’re brutally treated. Does that sound like prosperity? We’re homeless. How about that? Is that it a homeless, rich person, we’re cursed, we’re persecuted, we’re slandered with the scum of the earth, the refuge of the world. What in the world are people? How can people read that and teach a prosperity gospel that is prevalent, totally prevalent in certain segments of Christendom today. Is it not? Think and Grow Rich. It doesn’t sound to me like they must not have been doing much thinking. It says that people who teach that, because this is not realistic, this is not real, are people who have been robbed of the truth. That’s why I don’t listen to them. They have nothing to say to me. I don’t care, even if what they’re saying may be truth, a little bit that they might teach truth in order to suck you in. I don’t listen to them. I turn them off. Why? Because I know something about them that if you don’t know what the scripture is, you don’t know about them. Here’s what you know about them from the Scripture. They’ve been robbed of the truth, and they teach that godliness is a means to financial gain. If you’re obedient to God, He’ll bless you financially. Really? Boy, these apostles must have been some rebellious dudes, wouldn’t they must have really been some rebels, disobedient guys. That’s why God made them apostles. That’s why God handpicked them, was because they were so disobedient. Sound like prosperity gospel to you? I don’t think so. I don’t think so.

Now, that’s why he says there that I’m not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children, that is just one example, my friends, of what is going on in Christianity and with television. Every time you turn on television, you got someone teaching blab it and grab it, and people follow them by the 1000s and dump millions of dollars into their coffer so that they can teach more error. My friends, don’t let someone add to this book, prosperity gospel is not here that’s made up, man made stuff, and the only ones that are prospering by it are the ones teaching it. Okay?

He says, even though you have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ, Jesus, I became your father through the gospel, and therefore I urge you to imitate me. For this reason, I’m sending you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord, and He will remind you of my way of life in Christ which agrees with what I teach everywhere, in every church, some of you have become so arrogant as if I were not coming to you, but I will come to you very soon. He said, if the Lord is willing. Now, guys, what is it that causes man to be so blase in regard to following the teachings of Christ? I think, quite frankly, it starts with kids not listening to the teaching of their parents. I think that’s where it starts. I think it starts with the natural inclination that young people have. They get to a certain age, and all of a sudden they’re the smartest things in the world. You know, you’ve heard that, and you’ve all experienced that. We’re all old enough, most of us in this room, to experience that of how when we were teenagers, we thought our parents were idiots. And it’s amazing how smart dad came became when I got older. He must have studied or something because he got smarter. Do you all relate to that? The truth of that, but we have that tendency. And I ask sometimes, do you ever just listen? Look at the mistakes you make with kids as kids by just plain being rebellious.

I remember when I was a kid, before I was 16, and I didn’t know how to drive, my dad was a lawyer, and brother, he was down to, I mean, it was down to the law. And I’m not even going to teach you how to drive until you’re 16, so there isn’t going to be any of this. Me in the car with you at 15. I’m going to get in the car with you when you’re 16, because that’s what the law says. And so I hadn’t had no driving instructions at all. Didn’t know how to drive a car at all, and I remember one night, my mom and dad had been picked up with some friends and went over to some other friend’s house, drove over with them to play cards, and a bunch of my buddies, at least three of them, came over, and we were playing cards and stuff in the basement of our of our house, and it just started raining, cats and dogs. It was just a big, big storm, just really raining. And it got late, and my buddies had to go home, and so here I was, and I thought, well, I’ll just drive you home. Now I didn’t know how to drive. Shows you how brilliant we are. I didn’t know how to drive at all, but I got in the car because it was there and mom and dad wasn’t. They had told me, Don’t, don’t ever try to drive until you’re old enough, and I’ll teach you. Did I listen? No, I’m going to take you home. I’m going to be a big dog. Going to take you home. Take my buddies home.
