rereading of the New Testament with this as our mindset helps us to see clearly that the early thinking and lifestyle of Christians has changed in many countries of the world.The effects of humanism, secularism, materialism, and entertainment have brought doctrines of Satan to the Church,resulting in counterfeit churches accepting such doctrines as ordaining profane ministers who are living in sin and practicing sin, and other new doctrines such as the prosperity doctrines.Some churches and denominations are misusing the miracles of God for their purposes to obtain money. Other churches, denominations and many bible colleges in the world today deny that the miracles of God took place and they deny the power and miracles of God being applicable to our lives today. In some countries, witnessing for Christ has become an exercise of not offending the freedom of other faiths and keeping our mouths closed. If this is true of us then we truly have become the lukewarm Church that Jesus spoke about.He will spit us out of His mouth unless we repent.We must return to the principles and doctrines of the early Church as a way of life and as a living response to knowing the very person of God through the blood of Christ and indwelling Holy Spirit.from: http://gospelfellowships.net/principles-book/
