Bully Preaching is Not Gospel Preaching - Do You Rightly Divide the Word of Truth in Love

The World has sometimes thought of the approaches of certain Christians as bullying.  Many churches these days seem to believe it. I think they really believe that the actual gospel is mean. We've been told in God's Word that the World will think it's foolish. The World doesn't understand, and we can't make them understand. Understand? Tell them the gospel, once. That way, if they hear God's voice one day, they'll know what to do. That's the important thing, yet most Christians don't know why they're saved, biblically; it's been obscured, even though it's found in 2 distinct passages, and then the rest of the Bible fits around it, but it's been terribly obscured. Debates and fears and ignorance and confusion go against biblical teaching, too. So, why stay that way about the most important thing in the Universe?! It's understandable that those who know this truth would want to shout it to the World - that's just another evidence among so many others of its veracity. But when we don't tell it because we don't know it ourselves, we make up other reasons (like big, fake politeness, or timidity masquerading as meekness, etc.), and our behavior with the Worldlings gets way off kilter. Knowing salvation doctrine isn't hard, and it solves a lot of things that we've struggled with as a community for generations. The World can be bitter, and flesh does so easily twist perception, and so we shouldn't wonder too much that the Worldlings sometimes think of certain Christians' approaches as being petty, vengeful, bullying, etc., but we who know the truth can relax. We know that our Master is the One Who ..controls.. our salvation - He is our MASTER, after all, yes..? Proper understanding frees us from fear during the dark night of our souls, it shows us that we don't need to twist ourselves to befriend, or seem to befriend, the World, which is, after all, enmity with God (so why should we think that's the way?). We can get on with separation - holiness - and tell EACH OTHER about sin. We can do what GOD'S WORD says, and tell each other about our own sin, but only after we're all clear on who is and who isn't a Christian. We can become loving strength, like a painful back-brace that heals over time in a way nothing else will, shunning each other with tears that come from a real desire for our sibling in Christ, and we can lay off the World. God gives them His sunshine and His lovely things of the Earth while He can, because He loves them, and He desires that no one would be lost, but it just can't be. They can't help their sin; telling them about homosexuality, for instance, is like mocking the disabled. They would be offended to hear that, but we know the truth, and so we should pair our works with our faith and act like it.

Learn salvation doctrine. Let's all get together, firmly, on EXACTLY what we must believe and do to be saved, in accordance with God's Word and not our 1,001 different variations that leave bitter confusion in its wake and haughtiness dancing in the perceptions of the World and each other, too. It's vital, and it spreads out, once understood, into more areas of concern than first appear connected. It answers the debates...

According to 1 Corinthians 15:1-3a and Romans 10:14a, due to believing 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8, do what's emphasized 3 times in Romans 10:9-13 to be saved.
