b. The spiritual Christians – they are always very few in any gathering, less than ten percent. Only Jesus can save, Church cannot save. If you are not growing in the Lord, you are actually going down. You must buck it up. Clean up because nothing defiled shall make it beyond the atmospheric heaven. The rapture is going to be a spiritual encounter. Only those who are tuned to the right frequency will hear the sound of the trumpet. So many people will still be holding on to the lower things of this world that they will not hear the sound of the trumpet.
2. Unbelievers.
Here also, there are two categories.
a. The first are the benign unbelievers.
These are the ones who can still give their lives to Christ when they hear the right message but they are unbelievers at heart. I have had series of encounters with them in the course of praying for people with long standing difficulties. Regardless of the number of years that they have been in the Church, many people are still very loaded. You can be an unbeliever in the Church for twenty years. Unfortunately, by that time, this group of unbelievers would have started holding Church offices because there are always responsibilities in the house of God. It is a very dangerous position. They are capable of doing anything including dipping their hands into the offering. There was a case of a “pastor” who was caught on CCTV camera stealing from the offering box. Initially he denied but when he saw the cctv clip, he confessed and blamed the devil for it. The truth is that he was never born again, he took the decision.
b. The worst set in the Church is the malignant unbelievers.
They are the satan’s crowd. They are agents of darkness who target the pastor in order to pull him down. Unfortunately, they are in every Church. So, it is not everyone you see in the Church that has Jesus inside of them. Some people in the Church do not even have the intention of going to heaven. The malignant unbelievers are agents of darkness who go to Church with a mission.
