Att tro och bekänna - Believe and confess

Luk. 12:8-12 (Folkbibeln)

"Jag säger er: Den som bekänner mig inför människorna, honom skall också Människosonen bekänna inför Guds änglar. Men den som förnekar mig inför människorna skall bli förnekad inför Guds änglar. Den som säger något mot Människosonen skall få förlåtelse. Men den som hädar den helige Ande skall inte få förlåtelse. När man ställer er till svars i synagogor och inför makthavare och myndigheter, så gör er inga bekymmer för hur ni skall försvara er eller vad ni skall säga. Ty den helige Ande skall i den stunden låta er veta vad ni skall säga."

“And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” (Luke 12:8-12 ESV)




China aid: "Vancouver Christians hold outdoor service to commemorate house church"
http://www.chinaaid.org/2016/12/vancouver-christians-hold-outdoor.html
"Christians in Vancouver held an outdoor morning prayer service on Dec. 10, commemorating the seventh year since a Beijing house church was forced to hold similar services in the snow.

After undergoing a government-enforced eviction from their church building in 2009 and suffering constant interference in subsequent attempts to rent another location, Shouwang Church began holding services in Haidian Park, Beijing, often in the bitter cold. Officials began detaining church members almost weekly, forcing the church to stop meeting. The church’s pastor, Jin Tianming, is currently under 24-hour surveillance."
