TRUE DISCIPLES

TRUE DISCIPLES
1.Jesus did not say, "make believers "
A person may have some sort of belief but never become a disciple
2. Jesus does not say "make worshippers " People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples .
ALL DISCIPLES BELIEVE AND WORSHIP, BUT NOT ALL BELIEVERS AND WORSHIPPERS ARE DISCIPLES.

🙏🏻 Jesus commands "make disciples " That term, as commonly used at that time means, train learners who are committed to following their teachers instruction and example
Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you "

Some refer to Matt 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission .It may seem more difficult to fulfill,  but it is essential for spiritual health as you grow up in your salvation
Hearing and obeying Christ is the air true disciples breath
To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple

When a person at any point in time fails to follow what Christ laid down in the Great Commission, disobeys Christ.

Now to you those who call yourselves Christians (disciples) who have not been baptized in to Christ are not Christians

Those who say the sinners  prayer after believing aren't disciples

Those who are continuing in man-made churches and teachings are not Christians

Just as as the natural birth makes a person legitimate member of the family, so the spiritual birth of water and the spirit (John3:3-6)
Makes one a legitimate member of the spiritual family, God's church

Reconsider Matt 28:18-20

You can still be a Christian
Hear the Gospel   Rom 10:17 1st cor 15:2-5
Believe the gospel John 3:16, 20:30,31
Repent Luke 13:3,24:46,47
Confess Christ Rom10:9,10, Acts 8:7
Be baptized Acts 2:38 22:16 Mark 16:15,16 1st Peter 3:21 Gal 3:27
