Religious Officials Cannot Merely Memorize Scriptures – Must Have a Heavenly Thought Thesis. In the current context, every pastor, cleric, or person holding the title of official in the Church must face a serious question: “Is he preaching the true religion – or is it just a form of hidden heresy?”
The danger of heresy lies not in external organizations, but in the heart of religion, in those who lack the ideology of God, even though they wear robes, degrees, or noble titles.
Today, it is unacceptable for a religious official to simply memorize a few scriptures in seminary, then step up to teach as if he were sanctified by the Spirit. A truly called person must have a “thought thesis” – a clear system of thought, coming from God, expressed through a living experience with the Spirit.
We need to be aware that every denomination, tradition, or religious movement is in danger of becoming a cult if it is not guided by the true thought from God. Cults can hide under the guise of tradition, denomination, or even popularity. And once a religious leader cannot express a living theology, his presence is no different from a “long-tasseled cassock” – a pious appearance, an empty interior.
The ideology of human-god-god is the basis for distinguishing those who truly live by the Spirit, and those who are just playing a role in the religious theater. Therefore, if a person cannot clearly present theology – that is, the lifeblood from the Spirit – it is a worrying sign and should be avoided.
A true religious leader must have fire from heaven, thoughts from the holy spirit, not just memorized lessons.
