‘Real’ Christian Churches in US Forced to Go Underground Soon?

By Eryn Sun – “Christian churches in America will soon be forced to go underground if they want to stay true to their beliefs and to God, a conservative broadcast commentator warned.

Longstreet, a 30-year veteran of the broadcasting business, recently explained his opinion on the Right Side News, first clarifying that only ‘real’ Christian churches will have to do as he predicted.

‘In the past three decades, or so, many of the mainline Christian churches have slipped away from their foundation on the Holy Scriptures and adopted more and more secular tenets and leftist, politically correct, philosophy until they have become only a shadow of the true followers of Christ,’ he penned on Tuesday.

‘In my opinion, those denominations can no longer claim to be ‘Christian’ churches simply because – they are not.’

A few years ago, the U.S. Army veteran had left his own denomination for the same reasons, seeing that it had chosen to forsake the tenets of the Bible and the Good News of the Gospel.

Though he admitted that he was in no way a ‘better Christian than any other follower of Christ,’ he believed that many of the mainline denominations in America today were nothing more than social clubs with franchises nationwide.

‘Their pastors ‘preach’ feel good ‘sermonettes’ about the environment and things like ‘social justice.’ In my opinion, that is not the mission of a church that purports to follow Christ. In fact, Christ, Himself, spelled out the mission of the church in what we refer to as The Great Commission.’

The Great Commission stated in Matthew 28:18-20 reads: ‘Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’

That commission from Christ is the sole reason why the church exists today, Longstreet stressed.” Read more.

    Probably would be the best thing that could happen to the Church in America.
