The word Nicola comes from two Greek words, "Nicola" means "conquest"; "Ras" means "lay believer". To put it simply, some people did something in the early church, and these things were to control laymen. If laymen are controlled, it must be done by some people in power. People are conquered by a certain way, and this way does not follow God's way at all. As Paul pointed out in 1 Cor. 14: 26, everyone can participate in the Ministry, but they want to take some "saints" as priests or clergy to lead the congregation. They want to imitate the pagan way.
A person's change is a trivial matter, and it is easy to deal with. Just as Brother Hai said, all the people prayed for him, he can change. But today, we must see that the worst thing is not how someone is, but the behavior of an individual's "Nicola Party". In fact, the behavior of an individual is not "Nicola Party". Anyone who constitutes a "party" is definitely not a person! It is already an organization or a small group, a small group. The reason why the "climate" has formed is that the behavior of the Nicola party has become a "lesson" of the Nicola party, and this lesson, which is not in line with God's will, has been legalized and accepted by the church! Rev. 2:15, there are also people in your place who have followed the lessons of the Nicola party.
The situation of the church in Ephesus is different from that of the church in Pergamo. Ephesus only had the behavior of the Nicola party, and when it came to Pergamo, it learned the lesson of the Nicola party. I don't know how long it will take for behavior to become a lesson. If you act and tell the truth, you can not only do it, but also produce a theory from the behavior, and further form a system to teach the church to stick to it. Before the lesson, when the lesson came, the behavior was already bad.
Therefore, personal behavior is easy to deal with, and the lesson and system of Nicola Party is that we should rely on the Lord to expose it, refute it and defeat it! Because such a victory is the victory of the whole church! It is pleasing to the Lord! Because the Lord hates the behavior of Nicola! We should take the heart of Christ as our heart and show sympathy with the Lord. However, you still have one thing to recommend, that is, you hate the behavior of the Nicola party, which I also hate. Please remember: the behavior of Nicola is not the behavior of one person! Balaam's behavior is a personal behavior, and Nicola's behavior is a class behavior! There is an essential difference between the two! )
People who are called "priests" are higher than laymen. They distinguish themselves from other congregations and call the people who make up the congregation "laymen". God will not give the church to those who are politically inclined and appointed by the regime. God didn't divide the congregation into grades, so that the congregation was led by a so-called holy priest system. What's more, in the word of God, it is not mentioned that priests or priests are mediators between gods, and God wants all people to love him and serve him together. Nicola party destroyed these lessons, and separated priests or clergy from laymen, and turned these leaders into rulers, not servants of all.
Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that the kings of the Gentiles rule over them, and the nobles exercise power over them.
"But it shall not be so among you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be a servant of your.
"whoever wish to be that leader will be the servant of your.
"Just as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others. And give his life as a ransom for many.
