Christian Worship is for Believers

God never told us to invite non-believers to our worship, they should not be there. We are to "go into the world" preaching and teaching and when the unsaved become saved then they will come in as believer and followers of Christ. If a non-believer happens to come, then probably he is open to the truth, but we should not be inviting unsaved friends who ultimately learn the Christian lingo, begin acting like Christians but are not born again, they have not been changed from the inside, so their acting on the outside does not remain. Therefore they corrupt the gathering with their worldly ideas and false persona. This is where the apostate church is today, it got that way because many people compromised the truth to placate the unbeliever.

The apostate church violated more scripture than it obeyed, in the process is it no longer a gathering of Christlike people indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but rather a social gathering that capitulates to the ungodly thinking of the unbelievers who are present. Now, it is likely we have more unsaved people in the "Christian" churches than we have saved ones. Therefore most gatherings, especially if they are large ones, will be accepting many wicked sins within their group.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 God warned us about these people and tells us to stay away from them.

"1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

Beware of false doctrine based on psychology that fosters guilt in us for not obeying their ideas, the ideas that negate the purposes of the Word of God.

Just recently I was chastised by a believer for asserting that we need to be bold and completely honest with the non-believer. The only phrase I heard, in a mild form of rage, was that "its all about love." When I asked the question, "what is love"?, the rage escalated and there was a refusal to answer. My guess is that most people who use cliches don't know the meaning of those cliches. These cliches sound good so they are embraced, that's all they have, meaning is not very important, only the right words to make us sound compassionate. Interesting too that the one raging at me didn't have that love he so adamantly declared, for me.

It is not very compassionate to make an unbeliever feel good about themselves, only to have them go into the fires of hell at the end of this life. Wouldn't it be more compassionate to tell the truth with urgency and watch them go to heaven later?

Every cliche in the book will be thrown at us from pretenders. When appearances are the goal, then anything that goes any deeper than superficiality will be summarily rejected. Anything that makes someone accountable or shows a need for brokenness over sin, will be rejected and attacked.

2 Timothy 4:4-5
"4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
