Only a mind can ascend spiritual worlds, which is trained to discern lies from truths. In this article we will learn which key points are essential in a holy form of Christianity. This is not necessarily a matter of 'good vs. bad religion' but what scripture demands from us and how Satan finds doors to distract believers with a good heart from the actual core message of the gospel.
Most important is that Satan is mostly not recognizable as what he really is when you scrutinize his outcomes on a surface level. Scripture tells us that he will actually appear as an angel of light, whom people will worship and who will lead the masses away from the gospel of God. First we must ask ourselves, is my religion or spiritual community accepting the Eucharist, and is it actually there for every believer to take? When we don't take from the Eucharist, we're principally not Christians, and we're not part of the new covenant for the forgiveness of sins. Through the Eucharist we become part of the body of Christ. Wine symbolizes the blood of the Messiah, while bread symbolizes his body. And I know that for some religions they're the actual blood and body, while for others they're more representative, but this is a theological matter on its own.
Second, baptism as well is a very important point. While some religions insist on being baptized by the trinitarian formula, more liberal communities do it very often in the name of Jesus alone, but what is important is that baptism expresses a spiritual new birth. Being born again of water and of Spirit is a prerequisite for entering the kingdom of God (John 3:5).
We must also scrutinize if our church or community is making us have a bad conscience about different kinds of foods and drinks. This is an important key point for realizing if the institution is really following the biblical God or not because scripture again and again makes it clear that no foods or drinks can make us impure any longer. The Messiah declared all foods as clean (Mark 7:19). Also, the Apostle Paul went so far as to state that every religion that will make people have a bad conscience about certain foods in the end times will be under the influence of demonic spirits. While drunkenness in the Bible is often condemned, wine as well is regarded as a helpful medicine, as in 1 Timothy 5:23. It is a kabbalistic concept that wine will let the sinners fall while the righteous ones will nourish their souls with it. This concept is also hidden in the Hebrew word for vine (yayin) itself, but this as well would need its own article to explain.
The next point is, am I part of the first resurrection in my religion or faith? Satan often twists the Bible to make us believe that there would be more classes of believers, where the first ones would resurrect at the beginning of the messianic age, while the latter ones at the end, while the book of Revelation makes it very clear that those with faith will resurrect first, while those without will be judged according to their deeds after the second resurrection (Revelation 20:4-6).
All in all, we must also consider if eternal life is regarded more as a gift or as something that must be earned. Although merit and salvation by grace don't necessarily exclude each other, it's important that eternal life must be seen mostly as a gift. If we were to think that eternity could be earned by deeds alone, the Messiah would have died for nothing (Galatians 2:21).
