Dear Friends,
As an obedient Church of God, we believe and we keep God’s
Law according to God’s Spirit leading us. We have been convinced
and convicted by God’s Spirit to obey God’s Law. We
have now received understanding that it is a law of love and we
understand this from the Spirit. We understand that we are under
grace, because we cannot yet obey and accomplish the Law perfectly
as imperfect human beings.
We have a commission to publish the Good News and teach this Law
in obedience to God. We do this with all of our God-given talents.
We have published many papers on the Internet that explain plainly
God’s will, His Plan and His Law. According to the Internet
statistics, many people are accessing these papers and downloading
them in large numbers in all languages. We suppose that they do
read them or eventually will read them.
Large numbers are studying the papers but it takes a while for
them to get to the point of commitment to God and the Church. We
must always be clear in asking new contacts how they view their
obedience to the Law. We must always stress the necessity for all
people who would join us to read the Statement
of Beliefs A1 and study the Scriptures to determine in their
mind if the Faith described in this paper corresponds to the original
true Faith.
We cannot convince anyone. We believe the Spirit convinces. In
such a case, we believe that only the elect will accept this original
Faith because the Spirit will lead them to obey God in all things.
Unbelievers cannot understand or agree with our position that we
will not accept, even as a visitor in our Feasts or Sabbaths meetings,
anyone who does not believe in the One True God and His Son He created,
Yahoshua, called Jesus Christ. We will not accept into our ranks
or baptise people who do not accept the Statement
of Beliefs A1.
An attitude of obedience is from the Spirit of God only, but a
spirit of disobedience is from the first rebel himself, Satan.
We do not have the time or the energy to teach people and convince
on an individual basis if they do not want to take the time to read
and search the Scriptures themselves. Some people don’t need
to study as much, maybe because they may naturally accept God’s
Law from the Spirit. However, most people need to unlearn the worldly
Babylonian religion taught by the Trinitarian church and her daughters,
and replace those false doctrines with the truth. Only God can do
this with His Spirit, before and after baptism.
We are, and we will be, called an heretical sect because we are
a small Church that teaches the biblical truth, contrary to the
mainstream religions. In his propaganda, the enemy has used cases
of aberrant and dangerous sects and other strange beliefs as examples
or proofs that all small churches are deceived and deceiving others,
and hence they are dangerous. This type of opinion has been an excuse
for the enemy through his minions to destroy as many true believers
as it could during the history of humanity in genocide such as the
Inquisitions, the Holocaust under Hitler, and many more movements
which appear under other pretences and circumstances. The god of
this world has the authority and the intention of getting rid of
all such small churches, in the hope of getting the true one. The
demons know who the elect are. Satan uses human activities to compile
lists of the elect for attack and has done so over the ages, by
various means. His system is gearing up to find all true believers
and anyone who looks like one. We saw in the Scriptures that he
killed many innocent children in an effort to kill Moses and Messiah,
but did not succeed. Over the ages, he has been able to induce men
to do this in the name of God.
They killed our Messiah and his followers for those exact reasons.
He taught against the mainstream religions that had corrupted the
Bible. He established a small sect, his Body, to do a great work
on this planet. Even today, Messiah’s Body is a small Church
that is still called a sect.
We are not alone to believe in God and claim that we follow the
truth and God’s Law. It might be supposed that all groups
and churches believe and claim the same. What is the difference
then? Who can prove us wrong? The difference is in God’s view.
He knows who is keeping His Law and who is not. He knows the heart
and the minds and no one can hide anything.
God is using everyone to accomplish His Plan. Even Satan is used
to make the lesson very clear to all humanity and the angelic Host
that disobedience to God’s Law is as deadly as poison.
Every one of His Creatures has a place in His Plan of Salvation
because He does not wish anyone to perish, but that every man should
be saved.
Our part now in God’s Plan is according to His election.
We don’t know where we will be tomorrow, but God knows everything
and He makes anything happen for His purpose. Nothing is at random
for God but everything is done in the order in which He planned
it in past eternity.
We should not boast in anything we do for God, but we can rejoice
greatly that we can take part in God’s Plan and see it being
accomplished before our eyes.
May our Good Father Eloah, our Creator and Saviour, and the Creator
and Saviour of Jesus Christ, Yahoshua, continue to strengthen His
Church to do His will.
