Rom 11:1 reads , Be // GINNMAI is a verb in the Greek PRESENT TENSE , in the MIDDLE or PASSIVE VOICE , in the IMPERATIVE MOOD which means a command to BE !

#2 YE FOLLOWERS // MIMETES , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , and in the PLUARL , meaning to all be followers of Paul .

#3 OF ME // MOU , is a PERSONAL POSSESSIVE PRONOUN , in the GENITIVE CASE , in the SIGNULAR

#4 EVEN AS I ALSO // KAGO , is a PERSONAL POSSESSIVE PRONOUN , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , IN THE SINGULAR

#5 AM , OF Christ // CHRISTOS , in the GENTIVE CASE , also in the SINGULAR .

The reason we follow Paul is because , He is the only one that cuts thru the RED TAPE OF . the following that teach the following ;

#1 OSAS

#2 The Law of Moses has set aside in Acts 28:25-29

# 3 That we are SAVED by Grace in Eph 2:8 and NOT // OU is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE which no one can NOTTTTTTTTTTTT ever be saved by WORKS

# 4 HERE a big one , that the LAW OF MOSES has been set aside , 2 Cor 3:13-15

#5 And that WATER BAPTISM is not required at ALL , Eph 4:5

# And that Paul NEVER , WATER BAPTIZED , anyone as 1 Cor 1:15 reads LEST // ME is a DISJUNCAIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE , anyone should say that I HAD BAPTIZED FOR MY NAME .

And verse 17 , For Christ did NOT // OU and other DISJUNCAIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE , means , did NOT ever send me BAPTIZE , but to PREACH the GOSPEL

And this is just a small example for us to FOLLOW , Paul , who is the APOSTLE to the GENTILES

Paul insists that we not be "his disciples" such that we ignore scripture and just follow Paul.

1 Cor 1:
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one would say you were baptized in my name!

1 Cor 3:
3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?


Watering, Working, Warning​

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.


21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.​

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Col 3:10-11

The Holy Spirit is to be out Teacher and our Guide. We do not need man to teach us.

AND 1 Cor 11:1 reads , Be ye followers of ME ( means follow Paul ) even as I also am of Christ !!

Do you says that 1 Cor 11:1 as nor written by the HOLY SPIRIT ?

And when anyone goes to church , Who teaches and preaches to , BUT a man , and is that WRONG ??

Depends on who is doing the preaching and if they have the Holy Spirit of God or not. All the more you need the Holy Spirit of God working in your to help you to preach and teach the Bible. I have taken 4 teacher training classes at an accredited Bible college.

They joke and say we are to be fruit inspectors. Galatians 5:21 I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control.

Cause and effect.
There are many beliefs out their ?

#1 Saved by the OLD COVAENANT

# 2 Saved by the NEW COVENANT

# 3 Saved by GRACE

# 4 Saved by WORKS

#5 Saved by WATER BAPTISM //'

# 6 SAVED , because they can speak in tongues

So , your thinking about Rom 10:9 and 10 ?
That is a difficult one because in some countries to confess Jesus can get you killed.
Then we are told that Peter denied Jesus three times.
Even in Matthew 16:18 "Jesus told peter upon this rock i build my church"

God watches over every word we say so we have to be very careful with our words.

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

The Bible tells us to listen to The Church

Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

1Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Mat 18:17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

No Greek needed.

What or where is the church? We do read about 7 churches in the book of Revelations. So there were seven churches at the time of John.

But the Greek for CHURCH is what ??

# 1 VINE'S GREEK DICTIONARY says the Greek word for EKKLESIA is NOT CHURCH , and I agree , WHY ?

# 2 EK means from OUT OF !!

# 3 KLESIA means a CALLING

# 4 That means A CALLED OUT ASSEMBLY .

And there is not Greek word for RAPTURE !

No Greek word for PURGATORY , either

No Greek word for POPE

Is there a difference between the "church" and the Bride of Christ?
There sure is !!

The Bride of Christ is Israel and red 2 Cor 11:2 .

We that are saved by GRACE are PLACED // BAPTIZED into one BODY , Gal 3:27 and Gal 3:28 says we ARE // ESTE , is a Greek word in the PRESENT TENSE , means that you are always IN CHRIST and also in the Indicative Mood a, it means that you better BELIEVE IT >

And in 1 Cor 12:15- 17 says that WE are Christ's FOOT , his Ears , his EYES , his SENSE of Hearing and his sense of SMELLLING .

I say that we are CHRIST !!
