Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles(methodia)aka MO or method of operation of the devil.
An ominous sign of the times “collective salvation" Much more heinous to America then obamacare, suspension of drilling in the gulf, cap & trade, illegal immigration, the ground zero mosque,etc... is the attack on sound biblical doctrine by our POTUS and his army of minions. Nancy Pelosi speaking about the "word" Was this before or after you supported abortion Nancy?

Please keep in mind we first as Christians,then conservative, patriotic, Americans are not at war with any person or political party. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. Keep in mind also that when satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness he tried to twist the very word of God. satan quoted scripture to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself
Matt. 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written , He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up , lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Remember its the little foxes that spoil the vine. Thats why it's so important to study the word of God to show thyself approved unto God so that you may rightly divide the word of truth.
Collective salvation means “unless we are all saved, none of us will be saved” or “we as individuals must cooperate and sacrifice for the good of the whole.” Another way to state what collective salvation means is: “I can't be saved on my own. I have to do my part by cooperating with the group, even sacrificing, to ensure everyone else’s salvation. It is then that we’re all saved together.” Scripture, however, is clear that salvation is a process by which God saves individuals through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Each person must come to Christ individually, not collectively.
The doctrine of collective salvation is of the doctrine of devils and the Apostle Paul writes inGalatians 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.
Collective salvation is also similar to the ecumenical movement in that many mainline Protestant churches are willing to embrace Islam, Buddhism, Eastern mysticism religions, and the cults in order to achieve social and moral goals. Their thinking is that if enough godly people band together, they can win the war against godless paganism and evil in societies that have abandoned all sense of morality. The belief is that with all individuals cooperating and sacrificing for the common good, all societal ills will be eradicated. Adherents of ecumenism claim that the church is in a holy war to preserve Christian values that are intimately woven into the fabric of biblical teaching, and that we must desist in our disagreements over doctrine and join together to wage this war against a decaying world.
Advocates for ecumenism or collective salvation often use John 17 as their proof text. Their contention is that Jesus was praying for everyone to get along, not to fight amongst ourselves. But actually His prayer was for His disciples only—all those who would ever follow Him, to the exclusion of all others—that they would have a common bond, a oneness in God’s Spirit which was ultimately realized on the day of Pentecost (see Acts chapter 2). God produced this common bond among Christians when His Spirit came upon them and they were baptized with the Spirit into Christ’s body. Paul summed this up this way in 1 Corinthians 6:17 when he said: “He who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in the Spirit.”
The problem with the concept of collective salvation is that it is nowhere found in Scripture. One of the key components of collective salvation has to do with the deceptive thinking that the church must band together in a concerted effort to rid the world of all the immorality that permeates our society today. However, there is no instance in the New Testament of either Jesus or any of the apostles ever attempting to fix the problems of their society, including governments. What they did teach is that one’s salvation is through the gospel of Christ on an individual level, not collectively. Christ comes to the heart of the individual, knocking to gain entrance, and by the power and the moving of the Holy Spirit, we open the door of our hearts to Him (1 Corinthians 2:12-16; Revelation 3:20).
One of the most troubling aspects of the concept of collective salvation or ecumenism is its claim that our purpose is to fight a cultural war, that we’re some kind of human power base that can influence governments by voting in large blocs, or by lobbying, or creating institutions that can defend and endorse morality in our society. But Paul makes it clear that this is not the Christian’s role: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:12-13). Our Christian biblical mandate has nothing to do with any collective morality politically, organizationally, or religiously. Our mandate has everything to do with the Great Commission—calling others to individual salvation through Christ. That's as far as our biblical mandate goes.
As for our mandate as American's and as Patriots we must resist tyranny. We must unite and take back our country. "We the people" as Christians, as husbands, wives, mothers, fathers,sisters and brothers must take a stand. Not for Republicans. OR Democrats. But for whats right. We are to cling to that which is good and abhor that which is evil. And anyone that teaches that anyone other then Jesus Christ and faith in His shed blood will bring you salvation let him or her be called accursed!
NOW MORE THEN EVER I HEAR THE LORD SAY IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN I WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND
