When they received His Baptism at Pentecost they were put out of that system of welfare that was making the word of God to none effect.
The people by necessity needed to immediately organize congregations through a Charitable network of servant ministers and elders in patterns of companies of tens in ranks of a hundred as Christ commanded. These free assemblies through the practice of Pure Religion by the way of fervent charity alone was unspotted by the world allowed the kingdom at hand appointed by Christ to become a system of social welfare through charity instead of force and would lead to a Christian conflict with Rome.

Who is a Christian like unto the early Christians?
Do we follow one of the many false Christs and false images of Christ that blind men[2] may preach?
Many people desire to believe they are Christians simply because they confess Jesus with their mouth. But we must always read Paul in the context of Paul.[3]
Our "confession is made unto salvation" if our heart actually "believeth unto righteousness".
But if we remain workers of iniquity and turn not away from the "wages of unrighteousness" is our faith real?
Is that faith real or are we under a strong delusion?
Paul preached Christ first so he must always be read in the context of Christ.[4]
Even Paul lists many people who will not inherit the kingdom based on their unrighteous actions.[5]
JESUS SAID
Since the church by definition must propagate the doctrine of Jesus as His Church. And by the same definition the Church was established and appoint by Jesus every church should take heed of His warnings.
Jesus clearly stated by the witness of the gospels that what you say is irrelevant when it is compared to what an individual actually does.[1]
He is clearly warning us that many will not only say they believe but will think they are believers but He will actually say "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity". [6]
They will think they know Him but will be under such a Strong delusion that they do not know or will refuse to admit they are actually work iniquity and are to depart from Him.
He goes on to point out that "whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man" and whoever doeth[6] them not is foolish.
This requirement to doeth the will of the Father and warning about those who doeth not the will of God is also seen in other parts of the Gospel of the Kingdom and in the epistles.[7]
Doctrine
The Doctrine of Jesus makes emphatically clear that people are being foolish if they think they can say they believe in Jesus while they are doing contrary to God's repeated doctrine about coveting in the Old[8] and New Testaments[9]
This essential Doctrine of Jesus is repeated again with great clarity and undeniable specificity in Luke.[10] Jesus is saying that without the rock of faith evident in Peter your faith is built on the ever-shifting sand subject to every wind of doctrine.
Jesus also told us parables about foolish virgins who squandered their oil.[11]
Luke 13:25 "When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:"
John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth... 39 ¶ And Jesus said, "For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
