Conservative churches dito sa amin na nagsasabing colorum / illegitimate / kulto raw kami kasi ay wala raw authority na nag-send at nag-ordain sa akin, hindi raw po ako nag-seminary at wala kaming covering ng real church?

Q - Tito I'm the pastor of a small independent church that I started dito sa province. Una po informal Bible study lang ito tapos lumago. Wala pong tumulong sa amin at ako ay nag self-study ng Bible pero educated naman po ako with a secular college degree kay may tools and skills naman akong mag-aral.
Ang problem po, may mga conservative churches dito sa amin na nagsasabing colorum / illegitimate / kulto raw kami kasi ay wala raw authority na nag-send at nag-ordain sa akin, hindi raw po ako nag-seminary at wala kaming covering ng real church? Sila raw ang exclusive holder and guardian of spiritual authority based on their much-emphasized claims which I think is a myth supported by questionable fragments of fantastic "history" (daw).

"You will know them by their fruits," sabi ni Jesus.
Kung Jesus-like ang fruits nyo, eh di church kayo ni Jesus.
John 1:12 (NIV)
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
*
Anak kayo ng Diyos kahit hindi yang namimintas ang midwife!
Yung namimintas sa inyo, ang ibig sabihin lang nila ay
HINDI SILA ang ang "authority" na nag-ordain, nag-train at nag-cover sa inyo, therefore kulto kayo. Kasi akala at gusto nila,
EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE ng congregation nila ang gawain ng Diyos.
Jesus says in
Matthew 18:20 (CEV)
"Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you."
*
Whenever and as long as you gather in the Jesus' name to know and worship God through Jesus,
IT IS JESUS WHO CALLS, AUTHORIZES, ORDAINS AND COVERS YOU.
Kahit noon pa, some people like to give to themselves EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE and authority but Jesus would have none of that.
Luke 9:49-50 (NIV)
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is NOT one of us.”
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Huwag kang makinig sa mga hindi na nga tutmutulong sa gawain nyo ay naninira pa.
GOD BLESS YOU EVEN MORE!
