[2Th 2:3 KJV] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (Gr: Apostasia) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[1Ti 4:1-3 KJV] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
[2Ti 3:1-7 KJV] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
[2Ti 3:12-14 KJV] Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
This is great message of advice and encouragement to us grace gospel believers and right dividers.
It is such a tough task for us to work is such isolation without companionship as a body form different parts.
It is the same case with me. I now congregate with my family as a Grace Church. It is such a dangerous thing to keep congregating with the former churches that do not study the Bible rightly divided and they don’t care whether they understand it or not.
Only God stands with us.
Grace to you.
I am from Venezuela, associate pastor in a Baptist church. After some years of struggling with the truth of the right division, I finally accepted it. However the struggle has been great, with the senior pastor clinging to tradition. Some brethren are beginning to see the truth of the mystery, and even a few have accepted the truth. For them I have remained there for 2 difficult years, and this article lets me know that I am not alone. Turning points are coming up in my ministry, and probably many of the emotions I describe and know will assail me, my wife, and other grace brethren. Please pray for us.

Thank you for commenting, Reinaldo. I am definitely praying for you, your wife, and for those you have been able to share the truth of Right Division with. Your road is tougher than most… To be honest, I am surprised that a Baptist Pastor has allowed you to continue on staff within “his” church. Also surprised that he is allowing you to speak with members of the congregation on the topic of Right Division. Let’s thank the Lord Almighty that you have that ability, but push is going to come to shove. A difficult road ahead for sure. May God’s will be done and if that includes you starting your own Small Group, leading to pastoring your own church, then praises be to the Lord. He has you there for a reason!
Praying!
