If you had to leave a church because heresy was being tolerated and received a spiritual and emotional "beat down" for telling the truth, you have experienced persecution for the sake of Christ.
Matthew 26:26-28 "…26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well. 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.…"
When we attempt to bring Scripture to a discussion and it is met with angst and even rage, we know we are dealing with devils who are controlling the hearts of those who rage and those who accept the rage.
Luke 11:43-44 "…43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
The person being used of the devil will claim those speaking truth are the devils. They will say the opposite often of what God says in His Word. They use intimidation, mocking, and rudeness to control those who do not accept their false gospel.
When a group of people, the "mob" allows themselves to say and do anything they like but then work to silence those who speak the truth, you have encountered a narcissistic mob.
The clues are often there before the rage happens. The lack of "love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness and self-control" is clearly evident but we reserve our judgment until the Lord shows us without a doubt their hearts through their rejection of truth.
Whenever there is a pact of silence to keep the peace, the pact of silence is only for the authentic born-again believers, everyone else who goes along with the wicked person is allowed to say anything they want without challenge.
Get away from a group like this because they will not change or listen, nor do they have empathy for those they have attacked. It is a denial of Jesus Christ when the group tolerates and even embraces the false doctrine while attacking the truth.
All that happens in an apostate group is that they dominate and silence the truth-tellers with their intimidation, shunning and rudeness. There is nothing to be done, no more talking, no more efforts will make a difference with those who love their lies. What happens is that the truth-tellers are silenced always and the demons are allowed to take over, there is no way to influence them, but they will keep us from speaking and expressing the truth of the bible, causing others who come in to think we agree with the mob.
Our personal witness is very important, we cannot allow others to believe we agree with false doctrine and lies of demons.
As long as we remain with those who do not value the Word of God by their lives or their witnesses, but only through what they say, diminishes our own Christian witness.
If a person "says" they believe all the things you believe but their lifestyle attitude denies Christ then we must remove ourselves. It is better to be alone with Christ than in group that claims Christianity but denies it in their attitudes and lifestyles.
