Wife and I have talked about ignoring the red flags several times. We were lenient and ignored some things because we REALLY believed the LC had the right way to have a church meeting and were right in not having a paid clergy with Nicolaitans lording over the flock. Turns out there are as many Nicolaitans in the LC as in other denominations, and in the LC they are under the authority of their LSM ministry rather than Christ and the Bible. Their practice of pillaging Egypt and hiding their LSM association from college students bothered me. Because I did not have a seared conscience the cognitive dissonance drove me to prayer and Bible reading where I could hear the Holy Spirit speak. Seeing the red flags was a gift from the Lord. Yielding to the Holy Spirit was my obedience to God and His word. Funny how the Spirit’s work in my conscience together with my obedience worked out God’s will in my life!
