Bidding God Speed

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
The Bible appears to be relating not bidding God’s Speed to the call to come out of Babylon. Those who bring a different gospel do so in tribulation. As the believers are separated from those tares, they are NOT bidding the Church God’s Speed (partaking of their evil deeds)
