Not all Belief is Genuine and leads to Eternal Life
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. John 3:16.
Yet, not all belief is genuine and leads to salvation. We can read
in John 8:31-34. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed
on him, if ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin." In the verses 35 - 59 we
can see how their belief was. Jesus said that the devil was their
father, and they said that Jesus had a devil.
When Jesus was riding into Jerusalem, the people shouted,
"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest! " Matt.21:9. But later
the same crowd who had honoured him, they shouted now,
"Let him be crucified." Matt. 27:20-25.
Sometimes we hear or read that so and so many people have been
saved on this or that place. Then we must put this question: How
many of these, who have come to believe in Jesus, have really
been born again? Don't forget the parable of the Sower, in Matt.
13:3-23. How many people are like the good ground, and how
many are like the stony places, and how many people let the
thorns choke God's word? The two latest mentioned categories
are certainly included when you count over how many saved.
How many of these, who have come to believe in Jesus, will be
captured of churches and denominations, and become ensnared in
their church traditions and denomination doctrines? The most usual
reason that Christians fall away from the Lord, is that they follow
false doctrines, which lead away from the sincere faithfulness to
the Lord. They have a fancy to doctrines of denominations and
church traditions, and these have been more im****tant to them
than the Bible. They are religious backsliders that mean they are
Christians, but the churches are their idols.
Those new believers that become entangled in churches and
denominations, they are registered in something that they don't
know what it is. Instead of getting teaching about the Assembly
of God, it is pouted in their head that the church is the assembly
of God, and that they cannot be kept in the faith without the
church.
Knowledge about the Assembly of God is vital to new saved
Christians. In the churches and denominations they get no teaching
about the Assembly of God, and they get no knowledge about what
the churches and denominations are. The preachers do quite contrary
to God's word. Instead of teaching the new saved about the Assembly
of God, they are eager to get them as members in their own church,
their own denomination. Gal. 4:17.
The new saved Christians cannot decline the member****p because
they know nothing about the Assembly of God. They trust in the
pastor and older members that they know how it must be. In that
way the members are keeping down in ignorance. They get no
knowledge about the Assembly of God, neither in what they are
members.
Old preachers who have had meetings and were preaching for many
years, in such preachers the new saved trust. A new saved Christian
sitting in a meeting and listen to a sermon, he cannot know that the
preacher on the pulpit knows almost nothing about the Assembly of
God. He himself is a member in a religious association, which he
thinks is an Assembly of God, and he preaches this false doctrine.
The churches and denominations have censured away the truth of the
Assembly of God. When this truth becomes known, it will demolish
all churches, denominations and religious sects. They will lose the
control of their members.
In the churches and denominations is a continuing mystery-making
about the Assembly of God. There are thousands of pastors and
preachers. They appear as bible teachers and overseers, but not
bother about to teach about the Assembly of God. James 3:1.
