Gospel Movie clip (2) - Is Accepting the Gospel of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ Apostasy?
In the Bible, Paul said, "I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel" (Galatians 1:6). The pastors and elders misinterpret these words of Paul, and condemn all people who accept the gospel of the second coming of Lord Jesus, saying that this would be apostasy and that it would be betraying the Lord. Some believers therefore miss the chance to welcome the Lord, because they have been deceived. It is evident that getting a clear understanding of the true meaning of this text is extremely important to our welcoming the return of the Lord. So what is the true meaning of this passage of Scripture? Is accepting the gospel of the second coming of Lord Jesus apostasy?
