| | ::That's true! And '''you''' can never replace the Word of the Lord made flesh, who said to Simon, ''You are Peter (Rock) and on this Rock I will build my Church, and '''the gates of hell shall not prevail against it'''. Whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. As the Father has sent Me so I send you. And we have seen and testified that the Father sent His Son as the Savior of the World. The Church is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the pillar and foundation of truth, built upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles, and the Church is the Body of Christ, Who is '''with us always''', even to the end of the world. And it is through the Church that the manifold mystery of God might be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavens, the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. And He sent on us the Holy Spirit to be with us '''for ever''', even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, and He shall lead you into all truth. All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth, and whosoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives Me receives Him Who sent me, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God. Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur the judgment of God. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch over your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Go and make disciples of all nations, (1) '''baptizing''' them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (2) '''teaching''' them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Even now there are many antichrists who have come. '''They went out from us''', but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'' Moses said, "''A Prophet like me shall the Lord raise up, and whosoever will not hear the words that He shall speak in My name, I will demand it of him.''" --[[User:IndependentSkeptic|IndependentSkeptic]] ([[User talk:IndependentSkeptic|talk]]) 03:15, 11 July 2020 (EDT) | | ::That's true!

| | With regard to World Evangelism, as explained in the [[Great Commission]] article, there is a good chance for a billion-soul-harvest in the next decade, although there are many divisions Satan is bringing in trying to stop it. So many think Christianity will grow from 2.5 billion strong to only about 3 billion strong by 2030. But I think there is a good chance Christendom can reach perhaps 3.5 billion by 2030 and hopefully 4 Billion by 2033. Those are great targets and may seem difficult to some, but [[Internet evangelism|Internet Evangelism]] now and in the next decade opens up nearly unlimited possibilities for the Gospel to reach every where in the world if only Christians are united and work together. I continue to pray and work for Christianity to reach those targets, as the Bible says a large number of servants is the glory of the King. I've already, by the Grace of God, helped lead former non-Christians, like one of my good friends a former Muslim, to the Lord Jesus and to Holy Baptism on Twitter. There are huge opportunities for the Gospel today. Realizing and taking advantage of those opportunities requires Christians to learn to work together and also to stop the petty bickering.
