I highlighted the section that is important.
You are correct, it's not your, nor my responsibility to declare who is and isn't a Christian. That is entirely up to the leader, Christ. I leave it there.
My point is that the National Council of Churches doesn't even believe that Jesus is what he claimed. This is why I consider the NCC a false representative. If they accepted what Jesus says about himself (in the only textual source we have about him), then I would consider their counsel. But, they don't believe what Jesus says about himself, therefore, they represent the beginning of what Jesus states in John 10.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
My perspective on the NCC is they represent the person who tried to climb in by another way because they deny what Jesus says about himself.
Thanks for your comment. You know my opinion. I am not going to sway anyone here at the GH. We all have our minds made up. I simply wished to clarify. I do appreciate you looking at John 10 and trying to work it out for yourself.
