Are Nicolaitans with us today?

 Are Nicolaitans with us today?

Who are the Nicolaitans, which is somewhat explains in the Book of Revelation.  Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, the sect of the Nicolaitans was derive from Nicolas the deacon according to both Irenaeus and Epiphanius.   He was a Greek, received circumcision to become a proselyte.  Nicolaitans believe salvation was by grace or mercy only, but did not have to follow the Commands (Law) of our Lord Jesus.  The only way we can show our love for God is to obey His commands in our lives.  James  said “there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe” and “faith without works is dead” and  “a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

If any church, organization and a Christian profession organization teaches that the Law is done away with, is following the teaching of the Nicolaitans.  Yes, the Apostle Paul told us “grace you have been saved through faith”  and “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good work” and “we should walk in them.”

It is a shame that the Bema Seat is not taught in these churches about the rewards of a Christian.

Rev 2:6 NKJV  But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 

Rev 2:15 NKJV  Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 

Act 6:5 NKJV  And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 

Jas 2:19 NKJV  You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 

Jas 2:20 NKJV  But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 

Jas 2:24 NKJV  You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 

Eph 2:8-10 NKJV  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  (9)  not of works, lest anyone should boast.  (10)  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
