Romans 2:28 "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
Many holiness believers in our days hides under the coverings and blankets of holiness to remove the public eyes from their atrocious activities. This they do with little or no effort at all because they are seen godly especially in their dressing and public presentations, to which many unsuspecting true godly believers has fallen victims when their true colours manifest in the secrets. I have always told people that true Christianity is the Christianity in secrets, when you are left alone without any prying eyes of mortal men. The Christian practice often displayed by majority of today's holiness believers is nothing but pure eyes service and deceit.
There's a particular denomination I won't mention here to drive home what people especially among the unbelievers holds as a yardstick for their refusal to accept JESUS Christ as their Lord and saviour, which unknowingly to these unbelievers is not an excuse before God why they chose not to serve God. Yes, serving God has nothing in attachment with another person's behavior or character but the behavior and character of a supposed believer in Christ goes a long way to either positively or negatively influence someone's decision for Christ hence we have to be very careful. What you do in secrets though it is hidden from man is visible before God, hence a story once said of a woman whom her husband's best friend was trying to commit adultery with. The man told the woman that the windows and doors has been locked, making it impossible for anyone to see them committing adultery. But the woman simply told the man: fine and good that you have locked the windows and doors and surely, no one will see us but, HAVE YOU ALSO CLOSED THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN THAT GOD MAY NOT SEE US? The adulterous man was speechless and left the woman alone. You see, this adulterous acts would have go on unnoticed by any man but the man in question was quick to judge himself and let the woman go. Have you judge yourself as a supposed holiness believer in Christ?
This denomination is a true holiness church by all standards as their leader don't compromised the scriptures at all both in inward and outward holiness. He is a true practitioner of holiness which speaks volumes in his church. However some unbelievers has termed this church the home and harbor for witches and wizards particularly as it may affects the persons they know naturally somewhere. I have heard conversations such as 'the witches and wizards pursued from our village is now a member of denomination XYZ'. Even though the people making this kind of statement are not believers in Christ but they in turn have concluded that becoming a Christian is a forbidden thing by reason of those whom they knew as witches and wizards that are now in the church. To them a witch can't be saved because of their ignorance to the saving grace of Jesus Christ which is made possible by his blood.
Yes, the bible says thou shalt not suffer a witch to live Exodus 22:18, but the same bible says "For whosoever (witches, wizards, prostitutes, armed robbers, homosexuals, lesbians, kidnappers, liars etc) shall call on the name of Lord shall be saved Romans 10:13. Meaning whosoever that GENUINELY repent of their sin no matter what he/she is right now, or was in the past and accepted the Lordship of Jesus Christ over him/herself shall be saved, no argument about this because the bible says for by grace are ye saved through faith Ephesians 2:8. Okay.

Now, is it possible for a supposed holiness believer in Christ Jesus to be a witch, wizard, thief, extortioner, backbiter (tatafo), masturbator, homosexual etc? The answer is capital YES. This is because you will easily be carried away and be deceived with their outward (public) appearance that looks like a true Christian not knowing that inwardly they are ravenous wolves Matthew 7:15, hence God will judge the intents of the heart with his sharp sword Hebrews 4:12, not the outward appearance that is full of lies and covered with deceit. Therefore holiness is not by covering the hair, nor by wearing a long skirt that covers to the foot, nor by not wearing necklace and earrings. Holiness is love and love is God 1 John 4:8. Holiness is a complete totality of submitting the body, soul and spirit to Lord 1 Thessalonians 5:23, without any attachment of satanic properties to your body because it is the Lord's 1 Corinthians 6:20, Romans 12:1-2.
Dear brother and sister who hides under holiness to defraud one another, have you repent?
You were given the duty to book hotels for visitors in your holiness conference but you liased with the hotel manager to falsify the receipt so that you can do kill and divide with the extra money, have you repented and confessed to your people?
You that inflated pure water price so that you can get the extra money for yourself during your holiness conferences, have you repented and confessed to your people?
You that budgeted 'sundry expenses' and refused to return the remaining unspent money back to those that sent you but ended up using it for your personal gain because it was termed sundry, have you repented and confessed in your holiness conference?
You woman that sees the opportunity to feed your family with the food meant for your holiness conference, have you repented and confessed in your holiness conference?

No matter how much we try to hide our sins and wickedness from man with our holiness appearance, God is seeing far more than we can imagined and our sins will definitely finds us out Numbers 32:23. Many of us do more wicked things than what the unbelievers could think, yet nobody knows about this because we keep on deceiving them with our outward holiness talk and appearance while in public.
So, let no one deceive you Matthew 24:4. Whatever a man sow, so shall he also reap Galatians 6:7.
