---Church. From the word ekklessia of which ek = “out of” and klessia is from kaleo meaning “calling”.

---The church are people who are individually called out of the world of sin and darkness to repentance and light.

---In Ephesians 4:1 Paul was saying that he asked all of them to walk worthy of the calling they have been called. Also the word kaleo = calling is used in the opening of the chapter.

---So if you find yourself right now in an Adventist church or not, you were called. But you do not have the right doctrine if you are in another church.

---Why? Because you cannot keep doctrines that Christ did not keep. Like Sunday as day of worship.

---You have to come into the unity of doctrine says Paul in Ephesians 4:13 “unity of faith” he says. You saw that?

---Unity of faith when someone is going to church on Sunday and another on Saturday? When someone is baptizing babies and another adults, like Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.

---You have to follow the Bible. Not a person like Luther or Calvin or Augustine, not a confession like the Heidelberg Confession or the Westminster Confession or the like.

---If a group of theologians made an error with the confession by calling the wrong day of the Lord the Lord’s day, then you should leave. When? Immediately.

---Yes, but my pastor will be very angry. No, you pastor should know better. If not, you may eventually be the one who make him think of joining you. It happened.

---Now each one who was called out of the world was cleansed by the Spirit of God and by water of immersion baptism like John and Jesus and then crafted into the right Root and Stem, Jesus Christ to bear fruit from now on.

---Paul used the metaphor of a body. Members are becoming functional parts of the body where Christ is the head.

---You cannot go back to the ways of the World. Why? You were called out. Do not go back. What if you did? Then come out again.

---Ask the Holy Spirit to help you and I can guarantee you, you will be called out completely. The things that got you wrong in the first place the Holy Spirit will reveal to you.

---A blind pastor came to Ienaka church in Tochigi where I was worshiping. He said that in Japan during Hamatsuri festival people are carrying gods. But in Christianity God is carrying us. What an insight for a blind man. Not so?

---So you need carrying? You just heard the answer. Ask God to carry you too.

---When? Right now.
