Bible Study 2John Discussion

We discussed further on Bible Study 2John Exhortation for Leaders.

Good Leaders do the following:

1. Practice love one for another: TRUTH=WALK-IN-LOVE=COMMANDMENT
2. Continue in the Good Work, despite the challenging situations and people at times, to fully realize the potential and rewards that God has planned for us.
3. Know and Discern the False Doctrines - Doctrines that does not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh (more on this later).
4. Protect the Fellowship-Group (Cell Group, Home Group, Life Group) against deceivers who bring false doctrines to misled, divide and destroy the group. Keep them out of the group. There are also people who come to the group to cheat the members. Some come to sell their products. Don't let them make your group into a market place too.
5. Develop personal relationship through face to face meetings. Meet often and with members of other groups. (2 John 1:13)

What is meaning of Confessing Jesus has/coming In the Flesh?
The following key points are to be accepted:

1. Jesus is the WORD of Life in flesh. He was the Son of God, with the Father 1John 1:1, John1:14
2. Virgin Birth. Born of the Will of God and not of man. John 1:10-13
3. His death on the Cross. (John 19:30) When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
4. His resurrection. John 19:17-22. 1 Cor 15:12-20.
5. His coming again in the flesh. John 14:3, Acts 1:11.

Differentiate between Seekers and Deceivers
We are to preach and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. But we cannot be associated with the Deceivers that preach a different Gospel. ((Gal 1:8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.) We must keep them out of fellowship group. Otherwise,we are just bringing confusion and evil into our group. As leaders of the group, we must welcome new members or seekers, but at the same time, we must guard against the wolves that come in to destroy our members.
