family teaching #4: commitment
 

Jn4..23 "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
24 "GOD Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

 

Mat22..36 "Teacher, which the great commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 "This is first and great commandment.
39 "And second like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Jn8..51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.
 
Rom2..13 For not the hearers of the law just in the sight of GOD, but the doers of the law will be justified.
 
Gal3..24 Therefore the law was our tutor into Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

 
GOD is Spirit, but the current church seeks Him thru carnal forms, liturgy, ritual,
so it is impossible for them to find and worship Him in spirit and truth, as the lost pagans.
 
GOD the Spirit begins to shine the light or truth of the gospel in our heart when we begin
to take Him seriously, seek to obey His basic law Ex20, and strive to love all mankind.
 
GOD the Spirit baptizes us, as He baptised Christ Lk12:50, in His fire Mat3:11 Mk10:39 Zech13:9,
which is Rom6, as we "obey from the heart" v17, "into right" or just v7, 16, then under grace.
 
GOD then expects us to serve in the spirit, no longer the letter, by obeying the Spirit only,
to retain the Spirit Rom8:4-9,13, as many sanctified fall away and lost forever Heb6; 10.
 
GOD, from the beginning, gives us free will, to basically choose from the heart, to do good or evil,
at least to the best of our natural ability, until He empowers us to comply to Rom8 level.
 
GOD the Spirit must change our evil hearts, as we strive to obey, thru faith (see free will),
as His grace, love, power works in + thru obedience, never in disobedience, so most lost.
 
GOD the Spirit never forsakes obedient faith, but clearly departs deliberate or willful sinners,
hence Rom8:9 2Cor13:5 Mat25:1-12 Rev3:5, so very few truly abide in Him and endure forever.
 

Rom6..3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be of (His) resurrection,
6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been justified from sin.
16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?

17 But GOD be thanked that you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

 
Rom7..5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.
6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not the oldness of the letter.

GOD's parousia is manifesting or revealing or sharing His mysteries
to His 3part church Rev11:3,6 till the Spirit work is done Rev10:7.
 
GOD's parousia is clear to His true prophet level and a few anointed
living in obedient faith, so hear His truth 1Cor2 and share it all.
 
GOD's parousia works thru a few anointed partially, as only lukewarm,
but fully thru 1Jn3:6 prophets Ps25:14 Pr3:32 Amos3:7, free Rom6:22.
 
GOD's parousia rule is strictly thru the Moses level Acts20:24 1Cor9:27,
in mighty power
Rom8:36-39; 15:19 2Cor4:11-7:1 2Tim2:12 living in death.
 
GOD's parousia rule is mighty grace
Heb5:4 thru Rom4 (Jam2) into 5:2-5,
that a mere handful copy Rom8:29 1Jn2:13a,14a into Rev20:4,6 now.
 
GOD's parousia rule is the hope of glory for His major prophets Rev4:4,
so
Dan2:40; 12:3b 1Jn3:2 His true apostle level or His eagles or His image.
 
GOD's parousia rule continues as He separates
Amos9:8-15 Jn17:20-24,
then Rev13:7; 14:12,13; 11:7, literally leaving 2Thes2:7, then comes His wrath.
 
 
 
Rev19:10..
the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophesying,
meaning prophesying is GOD's living testimony or word Heb4:12.

Nov '98 Part 3
obedient faith, Rom1:5; 16:26
 
GOD's inerrant word from Gen to Rev repeats a simple theme: obedient faith or
believe + obey... an act, a deed, a fight, a work thru much tribulation and testing.
 
GOD's message thru Paul qualifies this theme: very clearly in Romans, giving examples,
and His standards by which we are judged, tho you are totally blind 2Cor4:3,4.
 
GOD declares His theme to begin and end Paul's major teaching letter, yet most believers
totally fail to comply, even teaching against His basic or core command, as satan.
 
GOD in Jn3:16 offers life to "whosoever believing" but very few have full,
active belief in His word, so most deny Him.
 
GOD in Gen to Rev says obey for blessing, life, love as Jn15:10 sets conditions
for His love, even as Christ obeyed to abide in the Father's love.
 
GOD clearly sets conditions to abide in Him, be "as Him" 1Jn2:6,
all others face His wrath Jn15:6 1Cor3:12-15(5:5) Mat10:28.

 
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as
I have kept the Father's commandments and abide in His love.
Jn15:10

Belief
 
GOD clearly says belief grows from simple facts about Him, to believing into Him,
to qualified believing in Him only. (the Greek proves His truth)
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Mk9:23,24 "I believe, help my unbelief"
when Jesus says "believe, all things...possible."
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Lk8:10-15: v.12 initial or facts;
v.13 part or into Him; v.14 part; v.15 full or abide in Him.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows thru satan's attacks; obedience to His word;
as Job, proves patient...so few truly believe.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows thru trials, is proved, is qualified
but satan teaches a simple belief secures soul salvation.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Heb10:39 "believe to soul salvation"
confirmed in Heb11:6 Jm2:19 1Pet1:9 so 100% contrary to satan.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Rom10 "believe in your heart..into righteousness"
but satan teaches mere mouth righteousness.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Rom10 as man's wicked heart must be purified
Jer Acts to satisfy His conditions for righteousness.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Rom10 as our evil heart can never believe
His pure, holy word, it must be Rom2:29 Col2:11.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Jn3:16; 6:40; 20:31 "may have life"
yet to Eph4:15 1Jn2:28 for true life is only in Him.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Jn6:27-29 "work to believe.. into life"
proved in "eat, drink to live" 6:51-58, many refuse 6:66.
 
GOD clearly says belief grows in Acts2: v.37 "heart pricked;" v.38 must repent;
v.42-47 loving sacrifice rarely seen today.

Faith
 
GOD clearly says faith grows from mouthing facts to anointed works
to overcoming work as Christ Jn19.
 
GOD clearly says initial faith grows to partial faith when Jn14:21 Acts1:8
1Cor12:7 Eph3:17a beginning to really hear Him Rom10:17.
 
GOD clearly says partial faith grows thru work to full faith
Acts6:5,8; 14:22; 15:9; 26:18 Rom3:25 1Jn1:7; 3:7 Col2:12 Jm2:17,22.
 
GOD clearly says full faith is overcoming faith Acts7:55-60 Rom1:17; 5:1
as 4:12-16 is His faith standard to qualify Rom9:26-10:13.
 
GOD's clear hard word proves "simple faith alone" is satan's teaching
as soul salvation is to proven, tested 1Pet1:7,9 ONLY.
 
GOD clearly says faith work in Phil2:12,17 proven in Heb6:1; 10:22-24,38; 11
Jm1:3,4,12 not dead work but obedient faith work.
 
GOD clearly says "works do not save" Eph2 Tit3, refers to His grace
not our merit, but faith is our only access Rom5:2.
 
GOD clearly says faith work in Jn8:39 when rebuking faithless Jn8:44; 20:27,29
for rejecting His truth and work, so lost!
 
GOD clearly says faith work in Jn14:10-13; 15:7-16 truly His work in
and thru believing, obedient to glorify Him so Rev2:27.
 
GOD clearly says "faith working by love" Gal5:6 to qualify justification,
righteousness 5:4,5(Rom3:30) in Christ(Rom3:26).
 
GOD clearly says faith work in "doers..justified..by faith" Rom2:13 Gal3 Jm1:22; 2
but satan teaches dead, empty, lost faith.

Abraham's faith example
 
 
GOD's initial call to Abram at 75 Gen12:4-6 Ps105 was obeyed in faith, a walk
mostly denied by the current Judas church, claiming to be of the same faith,
but refusing to consider Abram's faith act, deed, walk Rom4 Gal3 Jam2.
 
GOD's next test of Abram at 85 Gen15:6 was proved with a faith act Gen16:1-4,
fully believing He would supply a son Gen16:16, but the Lord waited 2x7 years
to fulfill His covenant in Gen17:9-14, at 99 Abram became Abraham the new man.
 
GOD's big test of Abraham in Gen22 came 2x7 years later, since Isaac was a
lad Gen22:5, fully accepted in the Lord's covenant Gen21:4, rather than Gal4:30,
enabling Abraham to grow into a true father level, a steward of His flock.
 
GOD in Paul qualifies true stewards of His flock, the apostle-father level,
true sufferers for Christ 1Cor4, true co-workers 2Cor4:11-7:1 with Christ,
100% contrary to most clergy, the aroma of death, peddling His word 2Cor2.
 
 
 
GOD, in Rom4, clearly demands we walk as Abraham to receive His promise,
qualified by many scriptures, eg Jn8:39,51 Job33 Jam1:4,12 1Tim6:11,12 Heb3:6,14; 5:9,
a simple (tho hard) work of obedient faith, 100% denied by mouth + most anointed.
 
GOD's faith example in Abraham is His standard, essentially rejected by most
of the church, choosing to believe in mere confession as their ticket to life,
but confession only copies the way of demons Mat8:29, in sin + death forever.
 
GOD's faith example in Abraham is the core soul saving message, obey thru
faith testing into full belief to attain life Jn3 into 5:24 Phil2:12
Heb10:36,39 1Pet1:7,9, so very few qualify into eternal life in Christ 1Jn3:24; 5:11,20.

Elders,
July '95 Part 1
GOD's grace rejected
 
GOD's dictated letters thru '93 and '94 detailed
Acts5:11 upon the Sardis church that some repent.
 
GOD confirmed many failed His call, so bound Mat18:18,
given over 1Cor3:15; 5:5 Mat10:28; 12:32 1Jn3:4,8.
 
GOD confirmed they refused, rejected His grace, as Esau
Rom9:13 Heb12:15-17, tho forewarned Jer23 Mat23.
 
GOD in flesh, Christ Jesus, was not the subject of Parliament
of World Religions, so against Jn14:6 Eph4:5 Phil2 1Tim3:16.
 
GOD, Is9:6, is our only authority in all truth,
yet Sardis teaches lies against GOD, His word, Spirit.
 
GOD as King rules obedient servants, subjects or willing sheep,
He cannot rule in sin Rom6:16,23; 7:5; 8:6,7,13; 11.
 
GOD's earthly Bible examples witnessed His love and power,
but very few ever match Moses and Paul Rom12:1.
 
GOD is Jn20:23 thru Moses and Paul level as 100% Spirit led
Rom8:14,29,37 "more than overcomers" if Rom8:36.
 
GOD's creation Ps1:5 Acts17:24-31 Rom1:16-2:16 must grow
into adoption Rom8:15-17 Gal3:25-27 1Pet1:9.
 
GOD alone circumcises in fire and water thru faith Jn1:13 till...
1Jn3:6,9(Rom6 Job Col2:11,12), most fail, so bound.
 
GOD's true, perfect, pure are never satisfied Phil3:8-15, in true
Jn6:53,63 1Pet4:13 2Pet1:4 Heb12:22,23 holy communion or fellowship.
 
GOD's promises only received by obedience to His voice,
copying Abraham and Jesus, till dead to sin forever.
