The Changed Mind Results in Changed Behavior

When we hate our sin so much we can no longer stand to ever do that sin again, then we have repented. Our mind has been changed which resulted in a change of behavior.

Luke 15:10
"In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."



So Many People Cannot Wrap Their Mind Around the Truth

The system of "church attendance and governance" that we see today is not Biblical. There are no one man pastors described in the Bible. Also, The word "pastor" is not a title we call someone or a position, its a calling and several men in the gathering should have this calling. No one is over anyone else, they teach and lead by example, not by authority over others.

This is the hardest concept to get into the minds of others. Once the wrong teaching has been in the minds of people for many years, its impossible to get them to understand and accept the truth.
