Hybrids and Saints
Hybrid: The word "hybrid" has a number of different biomedical meanings. In genetics, a hybrid is the result of a cross between two genetically dissimilar parents. The offspring of unlike parents. If the parents are sufficiently dissimilar, the hybrid may be sterile (for example, in the crossing of horse and donkey to produce a mule).
"The Holy Spirit cautioned New Testament believers about being unequally yoked with unbelievers, about trying to mix darkness with light, good with evil, Christ with Belial, faith with doubt, right with wrong, hot with cold, God with mammon and obedience with disobedience. Christ’s constant warning was for His people to remain pure and undiluted from the world. No hybrids are wanted or needed in the Church [family] of Jesus Christ.
Paul cautioned the Church in Ephesians 5:27 that Christ wanted to “present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish”. That is pretty emphatic! God is NOT in the Hybrid business. The message is simple: The Church WILL be pure, or it will be left behind. There is no such mongrel in God’s Kingdom as a Hybrid Saint. From Christ’s perspective you are either a Saint or you are a sinner. The two cannot be mixed.
It sounds so humble to say that we are sinners saved by grace. However, if we are saved, then we are NO LONGER SINNERS. We may sin occasionally, but we have been made Saints by the blood of Christ (Col.1:12). We are not half-breeds or mutants. We CANNOT be both Saint and Sinner. God does not make Hybrids; you are either one or the other. God does not create spiritual mules. Saints may sin, but sinners are not saints.
When the first century Jewish converts wanted to restore some of the Mosaic ordinances to their newfound Christian faith, God summarily condemned their practice. The book of Hebrews is all about them trying to mutate their Christian faith. In fact, their attempt to mix Christianity and Judaism is THE ONLY SIN referred to in this book.
God stated emphatically that genetic engineering would NEVER happen in the Kingdom of Heaven because the blood of bulls and goats can never be mixed with the Blood of Christ in order to affect salvation. God does not countenance mongrel blood as a way of being born into His family. There is no Hybrid Calvary where the blood of an animal and the blood of Jesus mingle.
Notice what is stated in Hebrews 10:26, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins...” The Scripture is very plain: if you say that the blood of Jesus is not sufficient to save you from your sins, and it must be aided by the blood of an animal or some other ritual, then there is nothing left that has the power to save you. If Christ’s blood is not powerful enough, then diluting it with ceremony and ritual only lessens its power to be your only effective saving agent.
This desire to create a hybrid blood was the sin of the Hebrew converts in the first century of Christianity. God forbade a reversion to Judaism for these new converts. If Judaism could have saved them, then they did not need Christ. If a bull’s blood was sufficient to save, then Calvary was a waste of time and effort on the part of the Redeemer.
God has consistently resisted every attempt to dilute the purity of His people. He cast the devil and his angelic defectors out of heaven, He moved Abraham out of the Ur of the Chaldees, He got Lot out of Sodom, He led the Israelites out of Egypt, He chased the giants out of Canaan, and He will take His bride out of this world. Remember, we will be pure or we will be left.
God’s people must be holy, even as He is holy. We must not “intermarry” with the things of this world and force God to adopt a hybrid into His family. There are NO MULES, MONGRELS nor HYBRIDS in God’s family. All of God’s children are “thoroughbreds”! Let’s keep it that way by not sleeping with the enemy."

Now the world says, I can be both a Sheep and a Goat. I can follow both Christ and Satan. Or I can follow Christ and Budda (or any number of other gods) The world is full of Hybrid Christians, (I dont have a pure devotion to Christ, but I am a christian...sound familiar?) In essence there is no such thing.
There is no Christ + "____" = Christian
Accept Christ alone, or reject Christ completely. God will not share His glory with another.
Again:
God is NOT in the Hybrid business. The message is simple: The Church WILL be pure, or it will be left behind. There is no such mongrel in God’s Kingdom as a Hybrid Saint.
Mat 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Mat 25:33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Mat 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
