1381 H. W. Armstrong taught Water baptism But TRUTH Gal 3.1 is baptism to be forgiven Ro 6 ALL POWERS who ERRED are spoiled made a SHEW openly Col 2.15
WRITTEN on 1st Day of 3rd Month
21st May 2025
ALL POWERS of MEN who SPOILED SALVATION OF CHRIST ARE SHOWN OPENLY, LORD TRIUMPHING over those powers, Col 2.15 PAUL taught GENTILES of MYSTERIES, Col 1;26,27
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Paul teaching to gentiles, 2 Tim 1:11 of the TRUTH as CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal 3;1
2Ti 1:11 -Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
taught nothing but Crist and Him crucified, 1 Co 2:2
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Truth is Christ Crucified, Gal 3:1
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Paul’s teachings were NOT TO ISRAEL, BUT TO GENTILES, 2 Ti 1;11, so H. W. Armstrong neither Gerald Flurry had LEARNED FROM NEW TESTAMENT
Paul's Ministry to the GENTILES
Made them KNOW “CHRIST IN US”
Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
· MINISTER TO GENTILES----2Ti 1:11 -Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Paul worked HARD and that WORK –worked in PAUL MIGHTILY---Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
· This MEANS—GENTILES NOW, ON DAY OF LORD, Eze. 30;3, WOULD LEARN ALL MYSTERIES
OF CHRIST to teach ISRAEL, for gentiles of Ships of Tarshish would PRESENT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL to the LORD, bringing them from far, Isa 60;9, while OTHER GENTILES BRING PRAISES TO HIM, Isa 60;6, 7.
Read of WRITINGS OF H. W. Armstrong IN THIS ARTICLE
From his booklet on “ALL ABOUT WATER BAPTISM’
And UNDERSTAND HOW THE CHURCH was TRANSFORMED
Into being Laodiceans
H. W. Armstrong DID NOT LEARN FROM NEW TESTAMENT
But from WORLDLY BOOKS, because LORD made that COUNSEL
For PAUL TAUGHT GENTILES, 2 Tim 1;11
2Ti 1:11 -Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles
H. W. Armstrong wrote--
Page 15 of BOOKLET on “All about Water baptism” of H. W. Armstrong mentions the word” Baptize” is not an English word. “It is a GREEK WORD”—New Testament was written in Greek Language—literarily in the Greek, the word is BAPTIZO, The definition of this word is “IMMERSE”. It means to plunge into put into dip—It does not man “to sprinkle” or “to pour”
The Greek word for “Sprinkle” is “rantidzgo” and to pour is CHEO in Greek.
The HOLY SPIRIT did not inspire the use of these words, BUT BAPTIZO, meaning “IMMERSE” “put into”
Comment HWA was criticizing the Christians being baptized as babes—“Sprinkle or ‘to pour’ water on forehead (as we had when we were babies!)
H. W. Armstrong further wrote referring to Jn 3:23—“there was much water there” (not a cupful to sprinkle) but—“MUCH WATER in a river!
· CONTINUE READING his quotes IN THIS ARTICLE, that MADE THE CHURCH LEADERS STILL remaining in SINS, Eze 22; 8-11, Eze. 33;25,26, Hos 4;13,14, Jer. 8;10, zec 8;10
· MINISTRY NOT UNDERSTANDING TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, JN 4’23,24
· Church having a work of their own
· THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF HEAD OF CHURCH, JESUS CHRIST!
· They DO NOT UNDERSTAND LORD’S DIRECTIONS through HOLY SPIRIT to receive SALVATION
When H. W. Armstrong made errors in baptizm unto John instead of baptizm unto CHRIST, Rom.6---
· He did NOT UNDERSTAND the PLAN of SALVATION through CRUCIFIED CHRIST, which is the TRUTH, Gal. 3; 1
· When God’s things are NOT UNDERSTOOD, the LEADERS would be as BEASTS, Ps 49;20
· H. W. Armstrong chose the ERROR of BAPTIZM unto WATER!
But Gerald Flurry wrote—
· That ALL SERVICE IN CHURCH would be DONE as H. W. Armstrong instructed!
· Remember Gerald Flurry went to courts to get all things of H. W. Armstrong!
· Going to courts AGAINST BRETHREN is A SIN, 1 Co 6; 1
Our work is grounded in what God taught through Mr. Armstrong and what He is teaching today. We are carrying on the traditions Mr. Armstrong established. We follow what he did, building on the understanding he had.
· SO PCG follows TEACHINGS and TRADITIONS of H. W. Armstrong did!—
· PCG work is BUILT UPON H. W. Armstrong!
PHILADELPHIA CHURCH OF GOD
Did NOT UNDERSTAND NEW TESTAMENT
As H. W. Armstrong did not know
NEW TESTAMENT
PCG was WARNED Col 2;8
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
· H. W. Armstrong had ruined Gerald Flurry and ministry of PHILADELPHIA CHRUCH OF GOD, NOT BEING ABLE TO TEACH CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal 3;1!
All these things are COUNSELED BY THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR, Isa 9;6
LORD needed to TEACH TRUE teachings and FALSE teachings as FALSE PROPHETS, FALSE CHRISTS are prophesied—1 Jn 2; 18
Warning Concerning Antichrists
1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
FALSE PROPHETS had GONE OUT from CHURCH OF GOD!
1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
· SO WE SHOULD ALL EXAMINE WHAT PEOPLE OF GOD teaches
· THEY SHOULD TEACH from WORD OF GOD!
· Then they would EXALT “EVERY WORD” as JESUS CHRIST had done, Lu 4.4, Mt 4;4 (then you would NOT DO AS DEVIL commands)
“All about water baptism”—by HW Amstrong taught of buried in water just as baptism of John but it is WRITTEN in Eze 13:14 Jesus Christ would break down the wall plastered with untempered mortar and uncover the FOUNDATION of water Baptism taught by HWA.
False Prophets Condemned
Eze 13:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Eze 13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Eze 13:4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Eze 13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Eze 13:6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
Eze 13:7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Eze 13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Eze 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
Eze 13:11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Eze 13:12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Eze 13:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
Eze 13:14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 13:15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
Eze 13:16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
WOMEN SEW PILLOWS to ALL ARMHOLES
Eze 13:18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
Wicked ARMS of WOMEN, Eze 13;18, would be BROKEN----Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
Son 1;13 makes us understand Eze 13;18 pillows
The women make
· SOLOMON delighted in his bride---Son 1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. ---that was HOW WOMEN MADE PILLOWS to ARM-HOLES Eze.13; 18---2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: -------2Pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
· JESUS CHRIST said John truly baptize Ac 1:5 John said “water baptism” was to make known JESUS CHRIST to Israel Jn 1:31
Therefore WCG, PCG absorbed baptism unto John, and LORD KNEW OF H. W. Armstrong teaching so!
THE PURPOSE IS GENTILES made known by PAUL believe the WORD OF GOD, and would TEACH TRUTHS from EVERY WORD of GOD,
Therefore those gentiles DID NOT LOOK to ALTAR of PHILADELPHIA CHURCH OF GOD , but LOOKED TO HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL who TEACHES THEM NOW, Isa 17;7
Isa 17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 17:8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
But PCG as ISRAEL are in DESOLATIONS, Isa 17; 9-11
Isa 17:9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
Isa 17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
Isa 17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
MAJOR PROBLEM for PCG
Learning from H. W. Armstrong
· Therefore, they WHO LEARNT and TAUGHT TO BE BAPTISED TO WATER and NOT baptized TO FLESH AND BLOOD of CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal 3.1 are STILL dead to sin, Ro 6:2.
HWA cheated through philosophy and not taught circumcision of CHRIST by baptism of His that removes sin, those WORDS are PHILOSOPHY AND DECEITFULNESS OF MEN, Col 2:8-13, TO BE ALIVE IN CHRIST through SACRIFICE as of a LAMB,
Let No One Disqualify You
(understand that men’s words had disqualified PCG as Laodiceans, Col 2;1-4)
Everlasting Covenant in Kingdom of God is counselled from Time of Creation—Mt 25:34
His counsels cannot be numbered—from the beginning of Ge 1 to Re 22 we see many counsels to be understood as parables, proverbs written
Ge 9. 4, 5 says of EATING LIFE BLOOD, which is DESTRUCTION of their OWN OFFSPRING, Prov 1; 10-19 ---and LORD’S BAPTISM ALONE would FORGIVE THAT SIN, when committing adultery, destroying LIFE BLOOD as in Eze. 22;8-11, Eze. 33;26.
· Only His disciples were given to understand others do not understand His teachings through parables 8:10, Mt 13:34,10-13, we see JESUS CHRIST had made disciples understand the parables related to Kingdom of GOD.
LORD seeks people who would find faith in CHRIST from those parables
· If a disciple do not value His teachings, His Truths, the given talents would be removed from him and given to the one who uses Talents-Mt 25:28-30.
So True servants would have faith to learn of EVERLASTING COVENANT, isa 59;21
Isa 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
· GENERATION after GENERTION would KEEP WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST FOREVER
· PHILADELPHIA CHURCH OF GOD is THE LAST GENERATION which was made Laodicean, Col 2;1-4, 8
· Thereafter LORD WOULD MAKE PCG LEADERS TO REPENT and ESTABLISH HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT, amidst them, SHAMING THEM, Eze 16;59-60
· They would be ACCEPTED IN EZEKIEL TEMPLE, Eze. 43; 18-27
GREAT CONFLICT amidst PCG as Laodiceans
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
ALL are to be Alive in Christ
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
· CHRIST JESUS the LORD came to DIE AS LAMB, 1 Pe 1;19-20, to be built up in him, VS 7
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
But H. W. Armstrong had taken the CHURCH
In another direction, and PCG became Laodiceans
Through H. W. Armstrong
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Their HEARTS to be CIRCUMCISED
BY BAPTISM UNTO CHRIST
Alive in Christ
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
· TO FORGIVE, PCG has to BELIEVE the WORDS OF LORD removing their defiled sins BY HIS CROSS, when they TAKE their CROSS (of sins) TO HIS CROSS, Mk 16;24, where HE WAS CRUCIFIED, then their SINS WOULD BE PARDONED, Ro 6; 6, 7
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS and FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST
Mat_16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mrk_8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mrk_10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Luk_9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
THEN ALL DEFILED SABBATHS and OTHER ORDINANCES
Would be REMOVED
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
ALL POWERS of MEN who SPOILED
ARE SHOWN OPENLY, LORD TRIUMPHING over those powers
That is what these writings DOES!!
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Therefore THESE WRITINGS are
CONDEMNING THE ERRORS OF TEACHINGS
OF PCG LEADERS, Col 2;15, who follow
H. W. Armstrong
Judgment and Redemption
To ENTER EVERLASTING COVENANT
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Isa 59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a
breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
Isa 59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Isa 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Isa 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Paul’s teaching to gentiles, 2 Tim 1:11
By the LORD’S baptism unto HIS death, Ro 6:1-23 all were to become NEW MEN (without sin, vs 6,7) Col 3 :4-14, mystery of CHRIST was taught to gentiles as CHRIST in you the hope of Glory, Col 1:25-27 a to be perfect in CHRIST, Col 1:28,29 (Salvation of GOD taught to gentiles, Ac 28:28)
· H. W. Armstrong erred taught another form of “Water Baptism” written in his booklet “All about water baptism”
· Wonderful counsels for EVERLASTING COVENANT which are given by Baptism unto HIS DEATH, Ro 6; 1-23, Gal 3;26-29, had been DESPISED BY TEACHING LIES by H. W. Armstrong to CHURCH OF GOD, Ro 1;25, which would give TEARS when a true believer comes to know the LIE and UNDERSTANDS the WONDERFUL COUNSELS of LORD to bring PEACE TO THE WORLD, by HIS DEATH.
H. W. Armstrong erred taught another form of “Water Baptism” written in his booklet “All about water baptism (PCG learning from H. W. Armstrong became Laodicean, Col 2:14,8)
The Major Error became sin TO THE church of GOD as ministry went on sinning without Repentance according to judgment, 1 Co 11:26-34.
Leaven increased Ro 6:19
Lusts of flesh increases—then sins like, Eze 22:8-11, Eze 33:26 were seen amidst ministry.
ABOMINATIONS of Jealousy in North OF Sanctuary, Eze 8:3 (Read Eze 8—it I the Elders that are abominable.
PCG Leader made H. W. Armstrong as “Father” and a god to honour H. W. Armstrong a dead man in LIVING CHURCH of CHRIST! Gerald Flurry made many institutions in the name of H. W. Armstrong!
It is ridiculous, blaspheme against GOD to whom church belongs
H. W. Armstrong could not even understand 14th day night for a True PASSOVER, Ex 12:1-6
H. W. Armstrong taught BAPTISM UNTO WATER when TRUTH is BAPTISM UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro 6
With men appointed to do different works The Wonderful Counsellor, Isa 9:6,7 had given different works to teach RIGHTEOUSNESS and wickedness, so at judgments we see all had been given minds to do Right and wrong
Ps 7:9, 37:17
Psa 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
By Baptism unto CHRIST becoming new men in CHRIST, Ro 6:3-7
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
The elect of GOD, to PUT ON bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering Col 3:12
· Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
ELECT are to put on LOVE (Charity) and let PEACE OF GOD to rule in your hearts, being in ONE BODY, Col 3:14,15,
Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Teaching one another in psalms and Spiritual songs with GRACE in your hearts, Col 3:15-16,
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Doing all things in the name of LORD JEUS, Col 3:17
Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
To receive inheritance—
He who does wrong will be REPAID, THERE is NO Partiality, Col 3:24,25
· That is FALSE CHRISTS are JUDGED
Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Husbands, wives, Fathers admonished, Col 3:18-23
Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
All predestined were counselled to have a True PASSOVER to judge themselves, 1 Co 11:23-26,
1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
· PASSOVER BLOOD AND BREAD comes from HIS BODY WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED, Ro 6;3-7
· SO one has to FIND PASSOVER BLOOD AND BREAD from CRUCIFIED CHRIST, WHICH IS TRUTH, Gal 3;1, to be FORGIVEN and for RECONCILIATION
· Such things are not in WATER as H. W. Armstrong wrote!! (Read in this article)
· IF YOU BURY IN HIS DEATH, you find HIS BLOOD AND FLESH (FLESH as HIS WORDS, because FLESH profiteth NOTHING, Jn 6;63)
All sinners who had not buried in baptism unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST to be forgiven, Ro 6:2-7 had NOT DISCERNED THE LORD’S BODY, 1Co 11:27-32
ALL BECAUSE THE TERRIBLE ERROR OF H. W. Armstrong introducing a DIFFERENT WATER BAPTISM which was followed by PCG, which became Laodiceans Col 2:1-4, because of philosophy and EMPTY DECEIT according to the basic principles of world and NOT according to CHRIST, Col 2: 8-13.
Col 2:1-4
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
· MYSTERIES are made KNOWN to GENTILES, Col 1; 26-29
· SO PCG having ENTICED by H. W. Armstrong BECAME Laodiceans
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
· H. W. Armstrong ENTICED PCG leaders TO HONOUR BAPTISM unto WATER enticing as we receive baptism unto JESUS CHRIST through WATER!
· When the TRUTH IS CRUCIFIED, Gal 3;1—
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
When you are buried in Baptism unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro 6:3-7 you are to put death the evil members such as formication, Col 3:4-7
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Col 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
· Lord had known sins of youth as fornication, but they are JUDGED LATER as VANITY—Ec 11;7-9---
Ecc 11:9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Ecc 11:10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
· Evil in FLESH are-- Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry
· SO SINS OF YOUTH are JUDGED! ---
· They were disobedient as they DID NOT FIND THE TRUTH (as CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal.3;1, to be FORGIVEN by CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro 6; 3-7)
(When not baptized to CRUCIFIED CHRIST, The wrath of GOD came upon sins of disobedience, Col 3:6 and not become New Men in Christ, Col 3:8-14
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Col 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
· CHARITY is LOVE
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
· PEACE AND LOVE is given by CHRIST –Col 1;20—
The Preeminence of Christ
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
· LEADERS in HIS CHURCH should UNDERSTAND that CHRIST has the PREEMINENCE—in ALL THINGS!
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
· SO ALL POWERS TO RECONCILE anyone or anything in the world, making PEACE through HIS BLOOD, Col 1;20, forgiveness and Redemption through HIS BLOOD, Eph 1;7---
· When all those things in Col 1;20, Eph 1;7, are RECEIVED from BLOOD OF CHRIST, from Ro 6; 3-7 (baptism unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST, ro 6;6, 7)
· THEN COULD any receive RECONCILIATION, PEACE, FORGIVENESS, REDEMPTION through baptism unto WATERY GRAVE??
Would WATER or CRUCIFIED CHRIST gives HIS BLOOD?
Would WATERY BAPTISM or BAPTISM unto DEATH OF CRUCIFIED CHRIST gives BLOOD OF CHRIST?
Look at SOME OTHER BLESSINGS from CRUCIFIED CHRIST?
Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
When GROUNDED in FAITH IN CRUCIFIED CHRIST
DO NOT MOVE AWAY from the GOSPEL

LORD had DONE A SHORT WORK to BRING HIS PEOPLE who were ENTICED BY H. W. Armstrong WHO WAS FOLLOWED BY Gerald Flurry in SEVENTY YEAR of INDIGNATION—
Zec_1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
· These SEVENTY YEARS (3 score and ten = 70) are the SEVENTY YEARS of H. W. Armstrong followed by Gerald Flurry, Isa 23;15, in the END Gerald Flurry AND PCG ---SINGS SONG OF HARLOT-- Isa 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
· TYRE is compared to H. W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry WHO PERFORMS MERCHANDISE WORKS, Eze 26, 27, 28 speaks of them, in the LAST END IT IS ABOUT Gerald Flurry who followed H. W. Armstrong,
· And TYRE is NO MORE now—read explanations in No. 1335, 1336 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
IN SHORT---TYRE was made as A CHERUB—they had marrige COVENANT, Eze. 16;8, but PCG became a HARLOT, Eze. 16;15-59, YET LORD CORRECTS her and ESTABLISHES EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60.
Ezk_28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezk_28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
The Lord's Everlasting Covenant
Would be made amidst PCG, comparing PCG to EPHRAIM
As JACOB’S blessing to JOSEPH, Ge 49;26, would
Come to EPHRAIM, Ge 48;20
Eze 16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Eze 16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
Eze 16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Eze 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
Eze 16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

WHY PARABLES?
Mat_13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (so parables are teaching mysteries of Kingdom of God in Heaven)
· MYSTERIES of King of heaven are made known to GENTILES NOW-- Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: -----Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
· If one knows MYSTERIES he would be GIVEN MORE MYSTERIES!!
Mat_13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
AND ALL HIS TEACHINGS ARE PARABLES---Mat_13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
LORD DOES A WORK TO BRING HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL BACK TO HIM
Lam_2:6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Ezk_22:24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

SHORT WORK OF LORD
First, we ought to think why the LORD does all those works IN HIS SHORT TORK--- Hab 1:5, Ro 9:28, Isa 28:21,
A MARVELLOUS WORK
Hab 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
SHORT WORK UPON EARTH
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
LORD is ANGRY in HIS SHORT ACT, in HIS WORK
Isa 28:21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
The WORK of WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR, Isa 9:6-10,
Does work with All HIS mighty Powers
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Judgment on Arrogance and Oppression
Isa 9:8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Isa 9:9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
Isa 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Isa 9:6-10 -HIS mighty powers exhibit the work of Wonderful Counsellor
So we see a Government of Peace is what the LORD counsels, order and establish with judgment and justice even forever, THE RIGHEOUS LORD TEACHES ALL HIS PEOPLE of HIS WORKS!
Isa 9:12
Isa 9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
But there is an oppressor for the LORD, THEY are CONFUSED, Isa 9;5.
Lord would use fire AGAINST him, Isa 9:4,5.
LORD FIGHTS the OPPRESSOR
Isa 9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
Isa 9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
When LORD sent word against Jacob, Ephraim is proud, Isa 9:8,9 they say they will rebuild when sycamores are cut down --they try to build with Cedars, Isa 9:10.
Isa 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
.So the LORD is angry is angry ,vs 12,
Isa 9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

Gen 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
(Blessings for Jacob is for Joseph, Ge 49:26, All these blessings for Ephraim, Ge 48:20

Isa 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Isa 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
CHRIST OUR LORD is waiting to forgive them
Isa 9:15-prophet teaching lies—CRUCIFIED CHRIST the Truth, Gal 3:1 is not preached to receive forgiveness and Redemption, Eph 1:7
Isa 9:16—Leaders of this people cause them to ERR
Who are the Leaders of PCG? Gerald Flurry strengthened by H. W. Armstrong, and ministry as Levi who are being PURIFIED, Mal 3;1-5!
H. W. Armstrong introduced ‘Water Baptism’ as immersing into water(just as JESUS CHRIST too received water baptism of John)
· H. W. Armstrong little Realized that JESUS CHRIST came in Judah which means just as other Jews were receiving baptism to JOHN, CHRIST too had to Prove that CHRIST WAS A Jew as an ISRAELITE who worships THE TRUE GOD, and JOHN had to TESTIFY that CHRIST is SON OF GOD!
· And CHRIST knew how HE WOULD RECEIVE the SIGN of DOVE to prove that HIS BAPTISM would grant HOLY SPIRIT, Act 2;38,39
Behold, the Lamb of God
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Joh 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Joh 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
H. W. Armstrong wrote a booklet “All about water baptism” ( a copy of which I have )—In that booklet we see how H. W. Armstrong had erred by his teachings of “Water Baptism” which John introduced—
· And people in world too baptise to water and think they are “BORN AGAIN”.
· But Almighty became man named ‘HIS CHRIST’(Re 11:15) whose death and Resurrection makes us BORN AGAIN in MEWNESS without SIN, through CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro 6. 6, 7.
· Therefore we are to be BURIED with HIM through baptism INTO HIS DEATH , Ro 6:1-8 for SALVATION,
· Water would NEVER GIVE SALVATION
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
—(Those verses teaches us how to be born again without Sin
Therefore H. W. Armstrong did not explain the True Baptism, in fact he taught ‘Cross’ is only a means of killing (which made me too to remove the Cross I had always on my neck which most people would have done)
THUS H. W. Armstrong DESPISED THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST counselled as LAMB before world began—1 Pe 1;19,20
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
THE WHOLE CHURCH OF GOD became dead to SIN because they DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE TRUE BAPTISM!
Water of sea , rivers, bath tubs (a member of PCG who was in this area was baptized in our bath tub!)—such waters would NEVER EVER give REDEMPTION to be PART of EVERLASTING COVENANT promised to Noah and Abraham.
Many Wonderful Counsels for EVERLASTING COVENANT had been despised which gives TEARS to the Eyes of a TRUE believer.
That is how Isa 9:16 fulfilled
Now look at Isa 9:17
Isa 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
No joy in young men—liars taught to err, vs 16 –
Isa 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
· The watchman the prophet did not watch abominations of Jerusalem, Eze 16:2, SO THE LEADER CAUSED them to err!
Eze 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
which were adulterous,
Read of Unclean works, Eze 22:1-14, which HAD BEEN ABOMINATIONS o JERUSALEM , Eze. 16.2—
Israel's Shedding of Blood
Eze 22:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
Eze 22:3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
Eze 22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Eze 22:5 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
Eze 22:6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
Eze 22:7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
Eze 22:8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
Eze 22:9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
Eze 22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Eze 22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Eze 22:12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Eze 22:14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Men going to neighbors wives, uncover Father’s nakedness, Eze 22:10,11 and in Watchman’s chapter, Eze 33-it is said that ministry among Watchman the prophet, are SINNING, Eze 33:33, 25,26—
Eze 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
they defile ONE ANOTHER’S WIVES SO THE WORD OF God questions—you lift up eyes ‘to idols’ should you then possess the Land” , Eze 33:25,26.
Eze 33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
Eze 33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
They look to IDOL, H. W. Armstrong -and therefore LORD HAD allowed their sins—just as Jer 8:10, Hos 4:13,14 to judge later, Ec 11:9,10
Eze 33:25,26, Ec 11:9-10, Jer 8:10, Hos 4:13,14.
So the LORD had been wanting to see their Repentance at Passover , keeping traditions, 1 Co 11:1-3, each one to have proclaimed LORD’S DEATH TILL HE COMES, 1 Co 11:23-26
· But they DID NOT LEARN THE MANY COUNSELS that GIVES LIGHT TO THE EVERLASTING COVENANT through A TRUE PASSOVER
But those guilty of the BODY and BLOOD of the LORD drinks Judgment to himself NOT discerning the LORD’S BODY, those who had NOT judged would be chastened, 1 Co 11:27-32.
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
We should understand to LEARN EVERY WORD to receive SALVATION!
1381 Philosophy and Commands of HWA through WATER BAPTISM became the LIE Ro 1.25 when CRUCIFIED CHRSIT is the TRUTH Gal 3.1
All about water baptism—by HW Amstrong taught of buried in water baptism of John but it is WRITTEN in Eze 13:14 Jesus Christ would break down the wall plastered with untampered mortar and uncover the FOUNDATION of water Baptism taught by HWA. JESUS CHRIST said John truly baptize Ac 1:5 John said water baptism was to make known JESUS CHRIST to Israel Jn 1:31
· Therefore, they WHO LEARNT TO BE BAPTISED TO WATER and NOT TO FLESH AND BLOOD of CRUCFIED CHRIST, Gal 3.1 are dead to sin, Ro 6:2.
NOW WE SEE ADULTEROUS SINS---
Eze. 33;26---Eze 33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
· Now when you look at that sin in Eze. 33;26—
Ye defile everyone his neighbour's wife----
Look at sins involved in that scripture---
· 1ST OF ALL, the sinners, both men and women HAD BROKEN MARRIAGE OATH taken before GOD at their own marriages!
· THAT PROVES of “NO FEAR of GOD’ in whose presence they MARRIED in CHURCH!
· Such abhorred, Ps 5;4-6 would be given to a harlot’s mouth-- Pro 22:14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
Psa 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Psa 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Psa 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
We are to UNDERSTAND—IT IS WORD OF GOD that was PROPHESIED that would BE FULFILLED!!
Prophecies had fulfilled
Their SINS such as fornication CANNNOT be REMOVED by BAPTISM unto “WATER” assuming that BLESSINGS of CHRIST would be received by WATER BAPTISM, that is the LIE which was taught in SEVENTY YEARS of DESOLATONS, Dan 9;2
ONLY BAPTISM UNTO DEATH OF CHRIST –FORGIVES SINS, Ro 6;6, 7
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
· They LIVE IN NEWNESS OF LIFE—Ro 6.3-5
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
Words of Baptism unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST
Makes you understand how the REPENTING person is
MADE TO LIVE because they were DEAD TO SIN
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
· So the baptismal words to be BURIED IN CRUCIFIED CHRIST saves you, and SALVATION is GRANTED by words RELATED to DEATH OF CHRIST!
And THAT SALVATION by BAPTISM unto JESUS CHRIST’S death TEACHES MANY COUNSELS how to PRESERVE LIFE in EVERLASTING COVENANT
· FOR CREATOR has the COVENANT with NOAH and ALL FLESH, Ge 9;1-17, and with ARAHAM, Ge 17; 5
· The 70 years of INDIGNATION---Zec_1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
Dan_9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
· PCG began when JERUSALEM was FULL OF ABOMINATIONS, Eze; 16;2, Eze 22;2-11
· PCG took over WCG which was full of ABOMINATIONS ---PCG was mindful of SINFUL LITERATURE of HWA (thinking that HWA was the REAL MAN as AMBASSODOR OF PEACE) and when WORD OF GOD CONDEMNS going to COURTS against BRETHREN, 1 Co 6;1-11
Lawsuits Against Believers
1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1Co 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1Co 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1Co 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1Co 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
PCG SINNED AGAINST WORD OF GOD commanding
NOT TO GO TO COURTS AGAINST BRETHREN!!
· THEREFORE from the BEGINNING the LEADERS did NOT KEEP COMMANDS OF GOD, but ACQUIRED TEACHINGS OF H. W. Armstrong to REMAIN IN SIN, BY teachings of H. W. Armstrong, NOT UNDERSTANDING BAPTISM UNTO DEATH OF CHRIST, Ro 6!!!
· PCG leaders ACQUIRED DESOLATIONS of JERUSALEM, which was THE ABOMINABLE WORK of HWA as HWA did not HONOUR BAPTISM of Ro 6, THAT GLORIFIES CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal 3;1—
· PHILOSOPHY of H. W. Armstrong, Col 2;8, gave the CHURCH COMMANDMENTS that are FULL OF ERROR which DESTROYED the TRUE SERVICE OF GOD
· HWA could not even UNDERSTAND 14TH day for PASSOVER, Ex. 12;1-6.
· THE SINS OF PEOPLE REMAINED in their BODIES!!---
· The ABOMINABLE sins that CAUSED their LUSTS increased, the CHURCH WAS DEFILED, SABBATHS were DEFILED, Eze 22;1-14
SEVENTY YEARS (1934 to 2004)
THROUGH BAMAH ABOMINATION, COVENANT was broken, Eze.44;7, PCG became a HARLOT, Eze. 16;15
Isa 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
Isa 23:16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
TYRE would be NO MORE---
No more prophet, Ps.74;9, failed Pharaoh, failed ASSYRIAN, Eze. 17, failed as a FOOL, Hos,9;7, fallen as cherub, Isa.14;12, who as CHERUB, also as THE KING OF TYRE, performing merchant work Eze. 28, is NO MORE forever, Eze.28;19 read in Nos. 1336 to 1346 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
LORD created King of TYRE, CHERUB in EDEN, Eze. 28, Pharaoh compared to ASSYRIAN and CEDAR, Eze. 31; 1-3, and they as NO MORE PROPHET and NO MORE WATCHMAN among ISRAEL are NO MORE FOREVER, read in No. 1347 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
HERE IS PROPHECY for PCG as
TYRE the HARLOT
Isa 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Here is SOME NEWS for
PCG as A HARLOT
Isa 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Deu 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Graven IMAGES to be BEATEN
TO PIECES!!
Mic_1:7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
LOOK AT HOW Gerald Flurry made the church as
A HARLOT, 1 Co 6: 16-20
Trusting in “the man H. W. Armstrong a creature”, as “god”
(That is the LIE, worshipping CREATURES, Rom.1;25)
A LIE should not be followed by TRUE CHURCH of GOD
1 Co 6; 19 -What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?---you are given HOLY SPIRIT through baptizm, unto CHRIST, wrote Peter, Acts.2; 38, 39.
· PCG or Gentiles who did HONOUR WATER BAPTISM taught by H. W. Armstrong DID NOT RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT!
17 --But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
· ACCORDING TO Jn 6;65 ---the SINNERS who did not receive Baptism UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST were NOT given to be BAPTISED UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST
· This is because LORD had to TEACH HIS WORDS to CUT TO THE HEARTS, to REMOVE HARD HEARTS!!
Look at HARD HEARTS---when people marry in CHURCH, they take OATHS before GOD OF WHOLE EARTH!!
· But LATER they COMMIT ADULTERY---MEANING they BREAK the OATHS taken before GOD, and PROVE THAT the people HAVE “NO FEAR OF GOD’ Ps 5---then in Hos 4; 13-14 says LORD KEEPS QUIET when the people and their children commit adultery--
Hos 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
· SPIRIT of whoredom is in PCG !
PCG sacrifices to INSTITUTIONS OF H. W. Armstrong
Because they GET FAMOUS!!
Hos 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
· Could we see WHAT GOD SEES of HIS PEOPLE!!
· And LORD KEEPS QUIET, NOT PUNISH then and there, Hos 4;14
Hos 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
· These people DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO REOMVE SIN BY BAPTISM UNTO DEATH OF CHRIST, Ro 6,
· H. W. Armstrong taught BAPTISM UNTO WATER!!
SO PCG LEADERS are IN SIN!!
EPHRAIM is IN SIN!!
THEY have to be CLEANSED BY CHRIST the HEAD OF CHURCH!!
Hos 4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
Hos 4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Hos 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
· EPHRAIM to receive POSTERITY, Ge 48;20, as JOSEPH’S BLESSINGS, Ge 49;22-26 are due to EPHRAIM , GE 48;20, in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60, by BLOOD OF SHEPHERD, Heb. 13;20
Hos 4:18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
Hos 4:19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
· LORD sent EAST WIND through Ships of Tarshish, Ps 48;7-14---and PCG is NOW ASHAMED as the gentiles make known THEIR SINS to them, Hos 4;19!
· If you joined to the LORD through baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6, YOU would be ONE SPIRIT---SPIRIT is HIS WORDS, JN 6;63, then you would FOLLOW WORDS of CHRIST our LORD, the HUSBAND OF CHURCH---to REMOVE SIN and to SERVE HIM WITHOUT SIN!!!
· By carrying on the traditions Mr. Armstrong established. following what he did, building on the understanding he had”—as written by Gerald Flurry ---made the church Laodiceans, Col 2;1-4, 8
· Philadelphia Church of God does NOT FOLLOW WORDS OF CHRIST our LORD, which is HOLY SPIRIT of the HUSBAND OF HIS CHURCH!
· Gerald Flurry speaks his own words(LIES) quoting scriptures of GOD.
SO Gerald Flurry made the church FOLLOW words of H. W. Armstrong –making him as their NEW husband---sodomy, Ro 1:25-28
· THEN PCG became a HARLOT, all curses for such are mentioned in Eze. 16; 15-59,
· H. W. Armstrong the NEW HUSBAND---PCG as HARLOT
1 Co 6: 15-- Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
1 Co 6: 18 --Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
· ALL in PCG, who believed and do as H. W. Armstrong said ---commit fornication ---- sinneth against his own body.
1 Co 6: 16 ---What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
· PLEASE understand these words carefully---
Just as a man becomes one with a harlot, TO BREAK his marriage vow with his wife---
· The CHURCH as HARLOT, committing fornication with words of H. W. Armstrong –
Had broken Covenant with CHRIST, the husband of church! –but LORD IS REDEEMER, Isa 54; 5
· PCG is hindering the NEW COVENANT for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, to enable HIS PEOPLE TO LIVE AS RAISED in NEWNESS of LIFE, free of SIN, Rom. 6; 3-7.
When H. W. Armstrong made errors in baptizm unto John instead of baptizm unto CHRIST, Rom.6---
· He did NOT UNDERSTAND the PLAN of SALVATION through CRUCIFIED CHRIST, which is the TRUTH, Gal. 3; 1
· When God’s things are NOT UNDERSTOOD, the LEADERS would be as BEASTS, Ps 49;20
1 Co 6: 14 -And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. (He raises and justifies, Rom. 4; 23-25)
Read also Rom. 4 explained in No. 1110 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Ps 49; 20-- Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
Following words are what Gerald Flurry wrote of
H. W. Armstrong
As A MAN in HONOUR—
In the following article--
Why Our College Is Named After Herbert W. Armstrong --By Gerald Flurry • Aug. 22, 2019
(Repeated in TRUMPET on Aug 13th 2022)
The Philadelphia Church of God sponsors a private liberal arts college. Why is our college named Herbert W. Armstrong College? We had many different names to choose from, and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right name.
Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century.
Gerald Flurry wrote-in the above article of his----“Plain Truth, was being produced in seven languages; global circulation peaked at 8.4 million. (By comparison, Time magazine’s circulation that year was 5.9 million”.)
· Comment---that was a description of a MAN IN HONOUR, but COULD NOT IDENTIFY why CHRIST died on HIS CROSS!
· H. W. Armstrong too never taught of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13; 20
· Gerald Flurry wrote that HE UNDERSTOOD book of Ezekiel more than H. W. Armstrong –
· It is true, for it is Gerald Flurry who knew of marriage COVENANT, Eze. 16; 8
· H. W. Armstrong as TYRE, Gerald Flurry continued his work and BECAME TO SING THE SONG OF HARLOT, Isa 23; 15!
Please note that the DAUGHTER of TYRE (someone in PCG) is to meet queen of Ophir, Ps 45; 9-12, queen of Ophir stands on RIGHT side of LORD, Ps 45; 9 Psa 45:9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir). 1Ki_10:11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
1Ki_22:48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold:
Servant of Ships of Tarshish became a STONE--
From Nos. 1259, 1260, 1268 –and From No. 1247—
Please understand, the QUEEN OF OPHIR, Ps.45;9, won the race in 1260 days, received a name, as a stone, Rev. 2;6,17, as we are given 1260 days, Rev. 11;1-4---and NOW I HAVE TO REMIND others of what works I had done to EXALT HIS GRACE---
· Therefore people who are still running require to UNDERSTAND from my earlier articles too--
Read in Nos. 1247, 1185, 1247, Be blameless at coming of LORD, 1 The 5.23 through knowledge of HIS DEATH Col 1.22 Holy Spirit as a guarantee seals us with SPIRIT 2 Co 5.5 ---LORD comes for Passover in Ezekiel temple. Eze.45:18-25, Passover to mountain of LORD Isa 30:29
· In that PASSOVER HE WOULD SAVOUR the FRUIT OF VINE, Lu. 22; 18, Mr. 14;25, Mt. 26; 29, therefore we are to RECEIVE CHRIST OUR PASSOVER, 1 Co 5.7, (Understanding HIS WORDS of HIS EVERLASTING LIFE) being BLAMELESS, and HAVING FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to APPEAR BEFORE HIM in KINGDOM OF GOD,
Mr 14:25 -Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Lu 22:18-For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
(Ophir is Tarshish, so was written in PCG TRUMPET MAGAZINE, ---Read In No. 1113 a Hebrew Ostracon provides proof of the enigmatic region of OPHIR , that article was written in Trumpet Dec. 2020 by Marianna Balaa
· She wrote Ophir is India or Sri Lanka
· I had read a book of SIR WILLIAM SMITH, he wrote in it, that OPHIR is NUWARA ELIYA, Sri Lanka---and amazingly I was conceived in my mother in Nuwara Eliya district.
When ships of Tarshish were broken by ALMIGHTY, Ps 48; 7-14, (OUR WORK AS A NEW WORK, BEGAN) –BUT ANDREW MILLER wrote Tarshish is Japan and TYRE is Germany through words of Gerald Flurry! Read in No. 1113, also in No. 1110 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Tyre is compared to PCG leader, Eze.28; 1-14.
LORD’S water, from HIS BIBLE comes as a river, it comes from Tarshish, Isa 23; 10 -Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.—
· So ALL MINISTERS and people are MISLED by MAN IN HONOUR as a BEAST--
Word of God describes H. W. Armstrong who was followed by Gerald Flurry –their ministry all joined them for a beast power
Ps 49; 20-- Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
· H. W. Armstrong is DEAD! –
· He had perished as A BEAST!!! --Deut. 27: 21 -Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
· CHURCH PHILADELPHIA CHRUCH OF GOD is CURSED, even Eze. 16 says ‘WOE’
PHILADELPHIA CHRUCH OF GOD should study how Eze. 16 had
Fulfilled in them
Eze 16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
Eze 16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
Eze 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Eze 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Eze 16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
Eze 16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
Eze 16:32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
Eze 16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
Gerald Flurry HAD HONOURED A BEAST, “lieth with any manner of beast”---made H. W. Armstrong as husband of PCG --- (and became A BEAST POWER to FIGHT THE LAMB, Rev. 17, but LAMB wins,served by saints, Rev. 17; 14!
· Peter wrote to be baptized unto JESUS CHRIST to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 2; 38, 39.
John wrote to be baptized unto JESUS CHRIST to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Jn. 1;33
But H. W. Armstrong ridiculed the CROSS, and commanded the baptism unto John!
· But law was until John, after that kingdom of God is to be PREACHED, Lu. 16; 16-- The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
KINGDOM OF GOD is through baptism unto CHRIST our LORD, Rev. 11; 15-- seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
· SO H. W. Armstrong chose the ERROR of BAPTIZM unto WATER!
But Gerald Flurry wrote—
· That ALL SERVICE IN CHURCH would be DONE as H. W. Armstrong instructed!
· Remember Gerald Flurry went to courts to get all things of H. W. Armstrong!
· Going to courts AGAINST BRETHREN is A SIN, 1 Co 6; 1
Our work is grounded in what God taught through Mr. Armstrong and what He is teaching today. We are carrying on the traditions Mr. Armstrong established. We follow what he did, building on the understanding he had.
· SO PCG follows TEACHINGS and TRADITIONS of H. W. Armstrong did!—
· PCG work is BUILT UPON H. W. Armstrong!
THROUGH BAMAH ABOMINATION PCG became a HARLOT
Isa 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
Isa 23:16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Isa 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Isa 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
AGAIN---
Here is SOME NEWS for
PCG as A HARLOT
Isa 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Deu 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
WICKED PEOPLE AS DOGS were AGAINST LORD’S SACRIFICE
Psa_22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
· We are to understand these prophecies for church, H. W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry ridiculed CROSS and LAMB
· It is CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST AS LAMB that SAVES HIS PEOPLE granting REDEMPTION AND FORGIVENESS, Eph 1;7
LEADERS COMPARED TO DOGS
Psa_68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
Isa_56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isa_56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Jer_15:3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
Mat_7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Php_3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Rev_22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Graven IMAGES to be BEATEN
TO PIECES!!
Mic_1:7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

No. 666 SEVENTY YEAR INDIGNATION AND HOW IT ENDS IN HIS MERCY
Judgment for UNREPENTANTS is worse than for SODOM, Mt 11: 20-24, Heb. 10: 26—31--FALSE TEACHERS’ PRIDE would be their DOWNFALL, Jude 7—16. These things are teachings for called out and taught in church of ALMIGHTY!
PCG named the building they built as “HWAC” (H.W.Armstrong College), and below those big letters, wrote that the building is “dedicated to God” in small letters----they USED TITHES OF ALMIGHTY TO DO SO--thus had given the SECOND PLACE FOR ALMIGHTY—
They thus brought NAME OF ALMIGHTY TO NOUGHT, Ex. 20: 7!
Ex. 20: 7- Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
Isa 52:5 --Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Jer 14:14 --Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
The MILLSTONE of church, Jer. 25: 9, 10, BECAME THE MILLSTONE OF H. W. Armstrong COLLEGE!!
· BRIDE AND BRIDE GROOM JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER, Jer.25;10!
Jer. 25: 10 -Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle
PROVE from this article that THE INDIGNATION of ALMIGHTY is upon HIS OWN CHURCH LEADERS, and NOT ON NATIONS OF THE WORLD---the end time rulers of CHURCH OF MESSIAH AMIDST CALLED OUT ISRAEL, Rom. 9: 4, 6 DID NOT SERVE HIM ACCORDING TO WORDS OF ALMIGHTY!
H. W. Armstrong chose baptizm of John, instead of baptizm unto death of MESSIAH, Rom. 6; 3—11, and PCG followed him---then amidst gentiles, Gentile Witness 1 (GW1) did not preach the baptizm of MESSIAH and neither exalted His cross, and men of Nineveh exalted teachings of GW1,
· ALL ERRED WORKS AGAINST MESSIAH AS LAMB ARE WICKEDNESS AGAINST MESSIAH THE HEAD OF CHURCH!!
Therefore, MESSIAH CHOSE HIS DAY TO TEACH HIS TRUTHS WHILE POURING HIS INDIGNATION AGAINST THE LEADERS OF HIS OWN CHURCH!
Gerald Flurry wrote—NOT TO EXALT MEN (Shown from his quotes, judgment according to Rev. 20; 12-14)—and he considers H. W. Armstrong as his father---and TAUGHT MEN IN CHURCH TO EXALT A man ABOVE MESSIAH—so the INDIGNATION OF ALMIGHTY IS UPON PCG ---
God family vision—page 24---para 2—Gerald Flurry wrote—NOT TO EXALT MEN--
Christ wants to be certain that we do not look to any man more than Him—that we will never exalt a man or ten men above Jesus Christ.
We are to love God, our husband, above the members in the church. It is vital that we understand this lesson.
Here is how Gerald Flurry exalted H. W. Armstrong ---
GOD FAMILY VISION –GERALD FLURRY—Page 87—para 4—
“As you study this, you will begin to understand that honoring Mr. Armstrong as our father is very closely tied to honoring God the Father.”
What does God say?------
Isa. 46: 5 -- To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
TP---page 74—para 3---“I am the only church of God leader who looks to H.W.Armstrong as our spiritual father.
Comment—Gerald Flurry had proved that fact through ‘HWAC” building!!
H.W. Armstrong is dead--ALMIGHTY knows men pass away and not come again, Ps.78: 39, 1 Chr17:11-14, days of man a shadow, Ecl 6:12, none has power over death, Ecl 8: 8, dust return to dust, spirit return to ALMIGHTY, Ecl 12:7, all die,3; 2, 19, dust to dust, 20.
· SPIRIT OF MAN (their SPOKEN words) return to ALMIGHTY (for Judgment), after death, Ecl 12:7--- dead to sin, Rom.6: 2) is now judged by his idle words- in day of judgment, Mt12:36. - it is appointed to men to die, then-- judgment, Heb.9: 27. Leaders are judged by their words, that is their Spirit, Rev. 20: 12-14 (The dead to sin, Rom. 6: 2, are thus judged by their spirit, that is their words!).
Following words added today for No 1381
· Dead to SIN receive FORGIVENESS by BAPTISM unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro, 6; 2-7 to WORSHIP RIGHTEOUS GOD who is WITHOUT SIN!!
· The WORDS to learn as HOLY SPIRIT is given by BAPTISM unto JESUS CHRIST, Ac 2;38, 39

Alive in Christ
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
· Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(END of ADDITIONS to No. 666)
Continued from No. 666--
ALMIGHTY and man do different things according to their words, the spirit in them- 1 Co 2: 11 -For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Paul wrote—
1 Co 2: 4 -And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:--SO Paul’s teachings show that we are to seek SPIRIT OF POWER OF ALMIGHTY! church leaders ought to SUBMIT TO HEAD OF CHURCH, MESSIAH, for commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for obedience to His faith, Rom.16: 26 (the called out now in captivity as of nations, Isa. 11: 12, Eze. 32: 9, are given this commandment for obedience to HIS FAITH---(MESSIAH the 1st born, Rom. 8: 29, HAD FAITH IN ALMIGHTY EVEN UNTO DEATH, Php 2: 8---that is HE HAD TAUGHT ALL MEN HIS BRETHREN TO HAVE FAITH IN WORDS OF ALMIGHTY TO DO THEM, lu 4: 4, Mt 4: 4).
5 -That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 --Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE NOT PERFECT TO WORSHIP ALMIGHTY IN THE COVENANT HE MADE WITH ABRAHAM, Acts 3: 25, 26---IT IS THE CALLED OUT who are taught of Urim and Thummim of High Priest of Melchisedec Order to eat Holy things, Ezr 2: 63, MESSIAH has taught to eat such, Heb. 10: 19-20, Lu 4: 4, Mt 4: 4, Jo 6: 51-58.
1 Co 2: 7 --But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: That mystery of High Priest of Melchisedec Order having Urim and Thummim who was obedient even to die on the cross, Php 2: 8, was taught among the Gentiles; to have Christ in you, the hope of glory, Col 1: 27: But Gerald Flurry taught to exalt H.W.Armstrong --TP---page 74—para 3---“I am the only church of God leader who looks to H.W.Armstrong as our spiritual father. God family vision—Page 87—para 4—
“honoring Mr. Armstrong as our father is very closely tied to honoring God the Father.”
1 Co 2: 8 -Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. ---Those princes are out of Jacob, who are given to the curse, Isa. 43: 28. Like the fathers, they too did not know why MESSIAH came, Father as redeemer, Isa. 63; 13—
THE WORLD WAS CREATED FOR HIS PURPOSE, NOT IN VAIN, Isa. 45: 18, and called out are for His glory, Isa. 43: 7, they are the chosen as first fruits for the ETERNAL COVENANT , Eze. 16: 60-63, Eze. 37: 21-28, for HIS GLORIOUS, SPOTLESS CHURCH, Eph.5; 27. HIS SACRIFICE WAS NESCESSARY FOR ATONEMENT, Eze. 16: 60-63, for HE DIED INSTEAD OF Isaac, Heb. 11: 17-19, for offering blood of the COVENANT , Mt 26: 28, FOR BLOOD OF BULLS CANNOT FORGIVE SINS committed under old Covenant, Heb 10:4, neither could that blood sanctify Holy things, Heb 9:13. But His blood forgives, Eph. 1: 7, and sanctifies, Heb. 12: 24, and makes JUST MEN PERFECT, Heb. 12: 23.
ONLY THE SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY TEACH HIS GLORIOUS THINGS
FOR HIS COVENANT, Ps. 25: 14, WITH MEN
1 Co 2: 9 -But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.10 -But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 -For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding, Job 32:8, blessed are such men, Ps. 32: 2, man of understanding has excellent spirit, man’s spirit search his own heart to shine as candle of ALMIGHTY, Pro. 20: 27
12 -Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.—these are blessings for called out to partake of HIS COVENANT!
13 -Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the HOLY SPIRIT teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. When Rev. 11: 8 says of spiritual Jerusalem as spiritual Egypt –we ought to know why a second exodus was counselled, Isa. 11; 9-12, and A SPIRITUAL PASSOVER is commanded, Eze. 45: 21-25, after Ezekiel temple Ordinances, Eze 43: 18-27. We ought to know that a spiritual Pharaoh had been created, to show POWERS OF MESSIAH, Rom. 9: 17. Pharaoh compared to Assyrian, Eze. 31: 1-3, PEOPLE IN CHURCH HAS TO KNOW WHAT ALMIGHTY REQUIRES FROM US, Assyrians would NOT KNOW!!!---SUCH LEADERS HAS TO BE WIPED OUT FROM LAND OF ALMIGHTY, Isa. 14; 25-26---LEADERS SHOULD KNOW SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY (His Words, Jo 6: 63), TO WORSHIP HIM!
14- But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (When spiritually blind, they cannot understand WORDS, THE SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY!).
15 -But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.—IF A MAN UNDERSTANDS HIS WORDS TO DO RIGHT THINGS IN CHURCH, he would NOT BE JUDGED!!---so in Malachi Purification, Mal 3: 1—5, MESSIAH teaches to SEARCH HIS SPIRIT to WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY which SPEAKS OF HIS TRUTHS---
That is worshipping Him in SPIRIT AND TRUTH, Jo 4: 23, 24.
16 -For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.---SO AS MYSTERY OF GENTILES, THEY WERE given WORDS OF MESSIAH TO KNOW HIM, Col 1: 27, gentiles who were cleansed by His blood, Eph. 2: 13, were given the PROMISE OF HOLY SPIRIT, Gal 3: 14---SO THOSE GENTILES WHO HAVE FAITH IN HIM, KNOW HIS WORDS TO DO THEM, Lu 4: 4, while SOME departed from faith, 1 Tim 4; 1-5, AND DO NOT KNOW TO WORSHIP ALMIGHTY WITH WORDS OF ALMIGHTY!
TRUE GENTILES KNOW that---MESSIAH as High Priest of Melchisedec Order, Heb.7:1-3, He teaches today, Heb1:2, He has Urim and Thummim as Ezra taught, Ezr.2: 63, He makes us eat from HOLIEST through His blood and body, Heb.10:19,20, by living words of ALMIGHTY, Lu4:4, Mt4:4, which is HIS BREAD, Jo 6; 51-58.
More scriptural prophecies about PCG leader and his followers are written in this article (No 666) WHICH SHOWS INDIGNATION OF ALMIGHTY IN HIS LAND, THE CHURCH.
Seventy years began with erred foundations in church of ALMIGHTY, amidst called out, Jo 6: 63, 64, they are not ALL ISRAEL, but chosen for SERVICE AND COVENANT, Rom. 9: 4, 6, read in No 659 in ---www.restoringcaptivity.com.

Jer 25:10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
Jer 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jer 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

PUT OFF BODY of SINS by CRUCIFIED CHRIST
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
· IS IT A SMALL THING to UNDERESTIMATE the ALMIGHTY POWERS OF CREATOR WHO COUNSELED HIMSELF AS LAMB of GOD to TAKE AWAY SIN of the WOLRD??
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
· Philosophy and Deceitful words of H. W. Armstrong is NOT AFTER CHRIST!

Alive in Christ is the COUNSEL OF CREATOR
And ROCK OF ISRAEL, 1 Co 10;4
Warning Against Idolatry
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Co 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1Co 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1Co 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1Co 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
1Co 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1Co 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
1Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
1Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1Co 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
Alive in Christ is the COUNSEL OF CREATOR
And ROCK OF ISRAEL, 1 Co 10;4, SO WALK IN HIM

“All about water baptism”—by HW Amstrong taught of buried in water just as baptism of John but it is WRITTEN in Eze 13:14 Jesus Christ would break down the wall plastered with untampered mortar and uncover the FOUNDATION of water Baptism taught by HWA.
· JESUS CHRIST said John truly baptize Ac 1:5 John said water baptism was to make known JESUS CHRIST to Israel Jn 1:31
· Therefore, they WHO LEARNT and TAUGHT TO BE BAPTISED TO WATER and NOT TO FLESH AND BLOOD of CRUFIED CHRIST, Gal 3.1 are dead to sin, Ro 6:2.
HWA cheated through philosophy and not taught circumcision of CHRIST by baptism of His that removes sin, those WORDS are PHILOSOPHY AND DECIETFULNESS OF MEN, Col 2:8-13, TO BE ALIVE IN CHRIST through SACIFICE as of a LAMB,
Alive in Christ
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Let No One Disqualify You
(understand that men’s words had disqualified
PCG as Laodiceans, Col 2;1-4)
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
· IT IS USELESS to worship being BAPTISED TO WATER
· ALL TRUE WORSHIPPING is THROUGH TEACHINGS of NEW TESTAMENT according to SPIRIT OF CHRIST!
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
People being foolish, never suspected leaders who
Had MADE CHURCH AS DISQUALIFIED!
Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
WE SHOULD HOLD THE HEAD
HEAD IS JESUS CHRIST
Col 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Col 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
· “DIED WITH CHRIST” is THE TRUE BAPTISM, to be FORGIVEN for all sins, Ro 6; 3-7, then you are RIGHTEOUS to WORSHIP HIM in HOLINESS, Ro 6; 6-23
Therefore DO NOT FOLLOW WORDS of MEN
But LEARN FROM BIBLE TO WORSHIP LORD according to
HIS WORDS, the SPIRIT
Col 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Col 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
· H. W. Armstrong taught ways as ‘WILL WORSHIP”
· People thought his teachings are TRUTH, and PCG followed H. W. Armstrong.
Everlasting Covenant on Kingdom of God is counselled from Time of Creation—Mt 25:34
His counsels cannot be numbered—from the beginning of Ge 1 to Re 22 we see many counsels to be understood as parables, proverbs written
· Only His disciples were given to understand others do not understand His teachings through parables 8:10, Mt 13:34,10-13, we see JESUS CHRIST had made disciples understand the parables related to Kingdom of GOD.
LORD seeks people who would find faith in CHRIST from those parables
· If a disciple do not value His teachings, His Truths, the given talents would be removed from him and given to the one who uses Talents-Mt 25:28-30.
So True servants would have faith to learn of Covenant
So one should understand that all of us—are counselled from our births even when formed in the womb of our mothers (example PCG leader as prophet, Jer. 1!
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
· These “NATIONS” are MEN, Ps 9;20—
· Those NATIONS were chosen to BE CLEANSED BY LAMB—when they receive BAPTISM UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Ro 6
· They GET WHITE CLOTHES, receiving SALVATION, Re 7;9-10
Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
· Then THOSE NATIONS WALK ABOUT ZION, Rev. 21;22-24
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Gerald Flurry was made a PROPHET TO MEN (LEADERS as NATIONS, Ps 9;20. They became BEASTS, Ps 49;20)
· We are to UNDERSTAND PARABLES!
PCG LEADER was REFUSING to SPEAK
He was not GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND, Isa 28; 13
Jer 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
· Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
· WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND—LORD does teach HIS TRUTH AND ERRORS of PEOPLE, when they DO NOT BE OBEDIENT TO HIM!
Jer 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jer 1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
PCG prophet as Gerald Flurry
Would be ROOTED OUT, then BUILD and PLANT
Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
· So prophecies would fulfill
PART 1
By words of HWA people were misled. John’s baptism would not put away sin, but Christ baptism is a circumcision made without hands
to put off body of sins of flesh by buried with Him in baptism, Col 2:11-14
Part 3
Words of HWA proves how he had turned PCG to be Laodiceans. Laodiceans
Have a great conflict not understanding Mystery of GOD both of Father and of CHRIST, Col 2:1-2, when gentiles were given to know Mysteries, Col 1:20-29
Through spirit we hope for Righteousness by faith in JESUS CHRIST, Gal 5:5-6 works of flesh and works of spirit.
Law is fulfilled in One word—even in this you shall love your neighbor as yourself, Gal 5:14, Little leaven leavens the whole lump, Gal 5:19
Excerpts from “ALL ABOUT WATER BAPTISM”
Written by H. W. Armstrong
H. W. Armstrong wrote in ---Page 15
” Baptize” is not an English word. It is a GREEK WORD—New Testament was written in Greek Language—literarily in the Greek, the word is BAPTIZO, The definition of this word is “IMMERSE”. It means to plunge into put into dip—It does not man “to sprinkle” or “to pour”
The Greek word for “Sprinkle” is rantidzgo and to pour is CHEO in Greek.
The HOLY SPIRIT did not inspire the use of these words, BUT BAPTIZO, meaning “IMMERSE” “put into”
Comment
H. W. Armstrong was criticizing the Christians being baptized as babes—“Sprinkle or ‘to pour’ water on forehead (comment---it is as we had when we were babies!)
Then he went on to baptism
HWA further said referring to Jn 3:23—“there was much water there” (not a cupful to sprinkle) but—“MUCH WATER in a river!
Joh 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Then HWA wrote (pg 15) -Jesus set us an example (page 10)—Jesus was immersed in water (he quoted Mt 3:13-17) H. W. Armstrong wrote disciples did baptize in His name, Jn 3:22,4:1-2 (H. W. Armstrong wrote in page 11—it is to act for Him—as if by power of attorney to act for Him.
It implies He has delegated that authority to us—And INDEED HE HAS! For we are commanded to do All things in the NAME OF CHRIST!
COMMENTS--
So that was how water baptism was taught to MISLEAD people of GOD—EACH BELIEVER has to TAKE HIS CROSS to be NAILED ON TO HIS CROSS—meaning to TAKE YOUR SINS to be CRUCIFIED,
Mat_16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mrk_8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mrk_10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Luk_9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
· COULD WE SEE---our SINS should be DAILY SHOWN to HIM, then LORD would HELP through HOLY SPIRIT to understand those SINS
· Those SINS cause different problems
· So we (in ministry) have TO HAVE A WIDE KNOWLEDGE OF SINS to explain to congregation!
That is how they would UNDERSTAND to be BURIED in Baptism—to be circumcised in hearts TO KNOW “old body of sins of flesh” THAT are to be Crucified by Christ, buried with Him by baptism, Col 2:11-14
· For EXAMPLE---CLEANNESS of BODIES to be known by Lev 15
· One may have NOT PURIFIED according to COMMANDS
Now we see—
Eze 22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
And Lev 15 says of the correction of that SIN—for CLEANNESS
Lev 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
Lev 15:20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
Lev 15:21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
Paul teaching to gentiles, 2 Tim 1:11 taught nothing but CHRIST and Him CRUCIFIED, 1 Co 2:2 for Truth is CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal 3:1
Baptism in the name of JESUS CHRST, to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Ac 2:38,39. JESUS CHRIST truly baptize with HOLY SPIRIT, Jn 1:33,34, He takes away sins of world, Jn 1:29. Hearts circumcised by baptism—Col 2:11-13.
According to teaching of H. W. Armstrong ---could hearts be CIRCUMCISED by IMMERSING in WATER?
Could the FOLLOWING COUNSELS BE DONE by Immersing WATER?
Would a MINISTER of PCG have
Power to do those COUNSELS?
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Worship in Covenant of Abraham, Ac 3:25,26
Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Act 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Therefore, faithful sons of Abraham produced by JESUS CHRIST, Gal 3:26-29
· AGAIN would MUCH WATER could FULFILL COUNSELS FOR COVENANT with ARAHAM ?
TRULY, could anyone PUT ON CHRIST
By BAPTISM in WATER OR is it through
BAPTISM UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST to be forgiven,
Ro 6;6, 7, would anyone know water forgiving us?
NO---IT IS HIS WORDS that TEACH HIS COUNSELS!
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
became True seed of Abraham in JESUS CHRIST, Gal 3:16
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
When Buried in baptism unto His death, you receive HOLY SPIRIT, Jn 1:33
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
· Would WATER GIVE US HOLY SPIRIT?
ALL FOLLOWING COUNSELS are
MADE KNOWN BY HIS FLESH, THE WORDS, Jn 6;63
Through name to become sons of GOD, Jn 1:12-13
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Forgiveness when confessed, 1 Jn 1:9
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
takes away sin Jn 1;29
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Abraham gives nations-Ge 17;5—
Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
CHRIST gives nations for His inheritance , Ps 29, therefore LORD to be worshipped as temple, Re 21:21,22
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
nations saved walk in the LIGHT of Lamb, Re 21:24-26
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
We are to KNOW WAYS OF LORD
To be in Kingdom of God
Almighty hates wickedness, Hab 1:13.
Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Therefore Righteous given through baptism, Ro 6:19,22
Rom 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
H. W. Armstrong taught burial in water to be baptized to CHRIST, But BURIAL is NOT A WATERY GRAVE—BUT BURIED in BAPTISM TO BE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST, Ro 6:6,7!
HOLY SPIRIT says to buried in baptism through being dead with Him, Ro 6:3, to become a new man without sin, Ro 6:3-7
· That is to BE REMOVED OF SIN to be MADE AS A NEW MAN!
H. W. Armstrong wrote in his booklet (page 11-last three paragraphs)—True Gospel of JESUS CHRIST is the message God sent to the world.
H. W. Armstrong WROTE--The Gospel to be preached was not the present day message About the person of Christ—but the message He brought and preached “The good news of the message He brought and preached “The good news of the Government of God! (JESUS devoted 3 and half years to teach this message to 12 apostles)
Comments---H. W. Armstrong does not KNOW ANYTHING PAUL AND DISCIPLES wrote of JESUS CHRIST preaching Kingdom of God!!
Here are some TEACHINGS OF Kingdom of God

Mrk_10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

H. W. Armstrong wrote—WHAT is necessary is believing to be saved?
“That which is preached—the Gospel! (Last 2 lines of page 11)
Paul peached nothing but CHRIST and HIM Crucified, 1 Co 2;2
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
H. W. Armstrong BEGAN a different GOSPEL
In the time of H. W. Armstrong -he did not preach about person of CHRIST!
HWA was NOT GIVEN TO TEACH OF CROSS OF CHRIST—BECAUSE it is GENTILES TIMES -----Gentiles that are given to teach “Mystery of CHRIST”, Mystery among gentiles—CHRIST IS IN YOU HOPE OF GLORY—Col 1:25-29
Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Paul minister to gentiles, 2 Tim 1;11,13,14, 2 Tim 2:1-8
2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
2 Tim 2:8—
2Ti 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
JESUS CHRIST as seed of David was raised from DEAD according to teachings of CHRIST by Paul and Paul suffered for teaching of CHRIST—
2 Tim 2:9-17
2Ti 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2Ti 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
A Worker Approved by God
2Ti 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
(The words of 2 Ti 2:8-17

Tells how the Truths of God (which is Him Crucified, Gal 3:1) would be counterfeited and such teaching would grow like cancer (2 Tim 2:17).
Therefore H. W. Armstrong ERRONEUOSLY taught of LORD’S BAPTISM, taught of John’s baptism
BECAUSE H. W. Armstrong’s WORDS WOULD BE SPOILED, Col 2;15
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Let No One Disqualify You
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:16—it is no use judging the defiled sabbaths, New moons (beginning of months, Nu 28:9-14) or festivals—because THE SUBSTANCE of CHRIST the Righteousness is given when sin is removed by Ro 6:3-7
· H. W. Armstrong did NOT KNOW SUBSTANCE OF CHRIST!
Words of HWA proves how he had turned PCG to be Laodiceans. Laodiceans
Have a great conflict not understanding Mystery of GOD both of Father and of CHRIST, Col 2:1-2, when gentiles were given to know Mysteries, Col 1:20-29
Col 2; 1-4---PROVES hearers of H. W. Armstrong became Laodiceans,
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
All about water baptism written by HWA in page 9—HWA wrote HOLY SPIRIT sent on Pentecost (Pentecost this year is on 23rd May 2025)
Heb 1 teaches LORD cannot look on wickedness, wicked are marked for correction, they were appointed to die once then judgment, Heb 9:27-28—
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
The APPOINTED MEN TO DIE ONCE, Heb. 9;27, were COUNTED AS DEAD TO SIN, Ro 6:2, then THEY WOULD BE JUDGED, Heb. 9;27.
Gerald Flurry followed H. W. Armstrong and H. W. Armstrong did not teach of SUBSTANCE OF CHRIST, SO PCG BECANE DEAD TO SIN!
HWA cheated through philosophy and not taught circumcision of CHRIST by baptism that removes sin, Col 2:8-13, TO BE ALIVE IN CHRIST through SACRIFICE as of a LAMB,
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
HWA taught the baptism of John which makes known JESUS CHRIST To Israel, Jn 1:31. Therefore Laodiceans, Col 2:1-4
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
who did not receive forgiveness are dead to sin, Ro 6:2,
Col 2:1-4,12,3, Ro 6:2
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
GOD’S PEOPLE
TO LEARN SUBSTANCE OF CHRIST
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Circumcision of CHRIST by baptism, Col 2:8-13 and words of HWA proves that PCG is Laodiceans who followed him, Col 2. Laodiceans are dead NOT RECEIVING forgiveness by baptism, Col 2:12,13, they were appointed to die once, then judged, Heb 9:27,28
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Gentiles would know Mystery hidden from generations, GOD’S counsel was to make known the riches of the Glory of Mystery among gentiles—“CHRIST in YOU”, Co 1:20-29, Col 21-4
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Paul's Ministry to the Church is through GENTILES
Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Laodiceans have a great conflict—not understanding Mystery of GOD both of father and of Christ(So PCG is Laodecian proves from words of HWA.
HWA booklet page 9—HWA wrote below words of HOLY SPIRIT which would be known by gentiles. But he taught of John’s baptism of water. Therefore philosophy of HWA had cheated, Col 2:8-15
Peter wrote—Repent and be baptized, Ac 2:38, Repent and believe , Ac 8:37
Baptism an ordinance symbolizing faith in Death, burial ,and Resurrection of CHRIST
H. W. Armstrong wrote----Then God promises to put within the repentant believer HIS SPIRIT—which means Love, Faith, understanding, Gentleness, Goodness, Power—The SPIRIT of a Sound mind—His very Life—TAUGHT through SPIRIT
Comment
ABOVE ARE PART of Gal 5; 22
please note—HWA had written Gal 5:22 differently when
the true scriptures as in Gal 5:22 is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
Promise is unto you….as many as LORD GOD shall call—Ac 2:38
Water of sea, rivers or bath tubs would not give HOLYNSPIRIT but HOLY SPIRIT is given when you are circumcised WITHOUT HANDS, when CHRIST puts off BODY of SINS of FLESH BY CIRCUMSCISION OF CHRIST. HWA had cheated through philosophy, Col 2:8-15,21-23
Through spirit we hope for Righteousness by faith in JESUS CHRIST, Gal 5:5-6
Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
works of flesh and works of spirit.—written in Gal 5; 19-22
Keep in Step with the Spirit
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Law is fulfilled in One word—even in this you shall love your neighbor as yourself, Gal 5:14, Little leaven leavens the whole lump, Ro 6;19
Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
When HOLY SPIRIT is not received such people work through flesh. They were given to Heb 9:27,28,
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
died to sin.
Works of flesh—Gal 5:19—Remember—Col 2:11-12 sins of flesh removed by baptism)
Vs 19 Adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, Lewdness-Jude 4 (turned grace to Lewdness)
Vs 20 Sorcery that made Ninevah desolate—
Sorcerers example of Ninevah—Neh 3:1,4-9
Woe to Nineveh
Nah 3:1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
Nah 3:4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Nah 3:5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Nah 3:6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
Nah 3:7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
Nah 3:8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
Nah 3:9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
Idolatry—1 Co 8:4-7
1Co 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
1Co 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
1Co 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
Hatred, jealousy, outburst of wrath, selfish, heresies, desertions (disagreements between people) all such sins of flesh are related to a brother committing sin through a neighbor’s wife—prov 6:26-29 (compared to a strange woman (a harlot) Prov 1—the brother who goes to neighbor’s wife as destroying his own offspring, Prov 1:10-19—This is Laws for neighbor, Ex 20:13-17 (vs 13 murder-we see babies, children are killed by adulterers men and women)
Lord made known NOT to EAT LIFE BLOOD for Covenant with Noah—Ge 9:4,5 men destroy their own Life blood by strange women, Prov 1:10-19
Pro 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Pro 1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Pro 1:12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
Pro 1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
Pro 1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
Pro 1:15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
Pro 1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Pro 1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Pro 1:18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
Pro 1:19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
Such who produce works of flesh-sins—do not inherit Kingdom of God—Gal 5:21
Who hindered you obeying the Truth? Gal 5:7-9
Gal 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Gal 5:8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Truth is CRUCIFIED CHRIST , Gal 3:1
HWA taught another Truth
Page 11” God to be preached was not the present day message ABOUT the person of CHRIST, but the message He brought and preached—The Good news of the Government of God.
Then what is it necessary to BELIEVE to be saved?
That which is preached—The gospel
HWA wrote Gospel commission—After His resurrection, Jesus gave them the FINAL GOSPEL COMMISSION as an obligatory ordinance for this gospel dispensation.
….preach gospel….He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved—Mk 16:15-16
Mk 16:15-16
Ac 2:38,39, Ro 6:2-7
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
The old man in believers are to put to death—fornication, uncleanliness, passion, evil desires, covetousness -such are idolatry (Col 3:5-9)
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Col 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Put on New man—according to image of Creator, Col 3:10-11.
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Therefore as new men when you raised with CHRIST, SEEK THOSE THINGS ARE ABOVE—So that when He comes you also will appear with Him in Glory—Col 3:1-5
Put On the New Self
Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
How could you put to death those Lewd sins—to be free of sin,
Ro 6:2-7—
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
that is baptism unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST—Crucified with Him means Die with Him on His Cross or be Crucified as the sinners who were crucified with Him on either side of JESUS CHRIS.
The sinner who repented of his sins and understood JESUS CHRIST AS having No SIN IN HIM-was in paradise with HIM—Lu 23:39-46
Luk 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luk 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
The Death of Jesus
Luk 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Luk 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Baptism unto Christ turned BY H. W. Armstrong INTO A WATERY GRAVE
All about water baptism—written by HWA
Page 16—Watery Grave—going down into the water pictures the death of CHRIST AND OF OLD SELF—PERSUASIVE WORDS of HWA deceived people of True baptism writing it as through water baptism
HWA wrote of meaning of Baptism. He wrote of Col 2:1-2, Ro 6:3-5 and made the True church to be Laodicean—Col 2:1-2
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Comments of HWA on Col 2:12, Ro 6:3-5
Comment of HWA TURNED “BURIED WITH HIM TO BAPTISM INTO HIS DEATH TO BE RAISED, Ro 6:4 TO A WATERY GRAVE Into which John Baptized
Comments —John the Baptist said to receive baptism of Christ, Jn 1:27-33, JOHN DID NOT SAY it is WATER—
But said john was NOT WORTHY TO UNLOOSE THE SHOE LATCHET EVEN!
Joh 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
Joh 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Behold, the Lamb of God
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Joh 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Joh 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Joh 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
JOHN said of FIRE OF LORD’S BAPTISM
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
The Lord Proclaims Judgment
And FIRE of HIS BAPTISM, Mt.3;12
Jer 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Jer 5:15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Jer 5:16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
Jer 5:17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
Jer 5:18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
Paul wrote to obey the TRUTH when CHRIST was CLEARLY portrayed among us as CRUCIFIED, Gal 3:1,
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
and we are to be baptized into HIS DEATH, Ro 6:3 when you had died to sin and cannot live any longer in sin, Ro 6:2, because the SINS will be done away when CRUCIFIED WITH HIM TO LIVE with HIM, Ro 6:5-8
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
(we should examine
Ro 6 word by word –Christ came to call sinners to repentance, Lu 5:32, HOLY SPIRIT is given to understand NEW WINE, Ac 2:38,39, Lu 5:37-38)
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
WE HAVE TO BE FREED FROM SINS OF OLD COVENANT
Luk 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
Luk 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
· It is JESUS CHRIST who forgives sins—Lu 7:46-48
Luk 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Luk 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Luk 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
· John or any man cannot forgive sins.
· His baptism of Ro 6 is needed to receive forgiveness
Counterfeit work of H. W. Armstrong
H. W. Armstrong WROTE---"There is the beautiful symbolism—the real meaning of baptism”
It pictures in symbol, the death, burial and resurrection of Christ
It pictures the Crucifixion of old self (Ro 6:6-7) or of sinning life, the burial of sinning self, coming out of WATERY GRAVE—resurrected to a new, righteous spirited life in CHRIST JESUS—Col 2:8
The philosophy and empty deceitfulness and persuasive words of H. W. Armstrong deceived his followers in WCG, PCG—to be Laodicean’s—Col 2:1-4
Col 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
H. W. Armstrong uses his OWN WORDS
Burial in water page 17 of Booklet of H. W. Armstrong
Burial in water pictures burial of CHRIST and of old self coming up out of water pictures CHRIST’S resurrected person walking henceforth “in NEWNESS OF IIFE”
Comment—Could we ask the questions in Eze 22:8-11
Would THOSE SINS be WASHED AWAY when baptize in WATER??
Eze 22:8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
Eze 22:9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
Eze 22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Eze 22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Adulterers through nakedness—in the church PCG-as Jerusalem Eze 16:2, 22:1 (requiring to be judged as the bloody city, Ez 22:12, the abominations in Jerusalem, Eze 16:2,22:2) Eze 33:25,26
Eze 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
Eze 22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
All above people had sinned through nakedness (Le 18)
All of them in present church, Jer 8:1-10
Jer 8:1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Jer 8:3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Sin and Treachery
Jer 8:4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
Jer 8:5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jer 8:6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
Jer 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Jer 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
Jer 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jer 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
(Lord gave wives to others, Jer 8:10) they all were BAPTIZED TO JOHN, BURYING in WATER
HAD they Received Newness of LIFE ?
H. W. Armstrong continued
Water baptism is the ordinance ordained of Christ by which we express faith in Christ as Savior—Acceptance of His death, burial, resurrection, repentance of old life and burial of it
It is a beautiful ordinance—full of meaning???
H. W. Armstrong is dead—PCG suffers as Laodicean’s, Col 2:1-2 philosophy of HWA was vainly puffed up, Co 2:18, but hold onto HEAD of CHURCH HESUS CHRIST—Col 2:19-23 (vs 23—HWA had wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, vs 23.
HWA wrote of Thief on Cross—page 18
Is baptism necessary—how about the thief on the Cross?
H. W. Armstrong continued---
The True explanation is that the thief on the cross was unable to be baptized—And since baptism is not the thing which saves us from death penalty, makes us righteous or imparts eternal life, he did not lose salvation because of circumstances out of his control. God makes allowances for such cases.
COMMENT----H. W. Armstrong PUTS ALL BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE given by PAUL to NOUGHT!!!
H. W. Armstrong continued---
BUT God commands water baptism—to this command—it is an act of disobedience which would impose the PENALTY OF SIN and cause of LOSS of SALVATION—
You need not worry about thief on the Cross—or one utterly unable to be baptized—this command is essential to salvation!
Conclusion
Eze 13:14—Lord breaks down the WALL PCG had plastered with untampered mortar, Eze 12:11 prophet going to captivity was a sign Eze 13
Eze 13:1 written of Prophets of Israel—written of PCG
Eze 13:1-14. Christ is True corner stone built with Tempered Mortar to become a stone on the wall—the disciples in New Jerusalem, Re 12:14 are tempered and plastered with the substance of Christ—hold fast to JESUS CHRIST—who would grow with increase that is from God, Col 2:17-23
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Col 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Col 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Col 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Therefore put to death your members such as fornication, uncleanliness—wrath of God come upon sons of disobedience, Col 3:1-11
Eze 12:8-15—
Eze 12:8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
Eze 12:9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
Eze 12:10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
Eze 12:11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
Eze 12:12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
Eze 12:13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Eze 12:14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Eze 12:15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
prophet and his ministry taken to Babylon in Land of Chaldea—then Lord raised up the gentiles as Chaldeans, Heb 1:4-10 Heb 1:9 says of East wind it is work of ships of Tarshish, (Ps 48:7-14)
Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Heb 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Heb 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Heb 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Heb 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
LORD SENT EAST WIND TO FAN AWAY SINS OF ISRAEL PCG
Psa 48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
Psa 48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
Psa 48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Psa 48:10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Psa 48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Ships of Tarshish had made known TO THE
NEXT GENERATION PCG , ABOUT LORD’S SALVATION in ZION, Ps 48;12-14
Psa 48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
Psa 48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Psa 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
WE should understand and believe how Jesus Christ suffered as a Lamb, Isa 53, how people mocked, Ps 22, but Lord served by poor gentiles as a generation, Ps 22:30-31
Psa 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
Psa 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
—so Israel was deceived by the deceitfulness of H. W. Armstrong to be baptized to a watery burial through his philosophy according to basic principles people could imagine, Co 2:8.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Elders of PCG to repent and Turnaway from all abominations—Eze 14:1-21 and Lord had made gentiles as the example to PCG by them PCG would be comforted, Eze 14:22-23
Eze 14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Eze 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
( These gentiles were given fir Life of Israel, Isa 43:3,4). According to Eze 14:22,23 we gentiles preach baptism unto death of JESUS CHRIST Ro 6, Gal 3:25-29 and understand salvation is through baptism unto death of JESUS CHRIST--
And understand salvation is through baptism unto death of JESUS CHRIST—Read the Trauma JESUS CHRIST went through HIS CRUSIFIXION in gospels and the thief on the Cross was saved to be in paradise because he knew he was a sinner while JESUS CHRIST is without sin, Lu 23:39-43
Understand—Would water baptism save from troubles people face?
What is it to be saved BY BAPTISM UNTO JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 6?
· Saved as from dead to sin by blood to serve Almighty-Heb 9:14
· Saved from principalities and powers
· Saved from commandment of men
· Saved from Satan, Mammon (all world deceived, Re 12:9)
· Saved to be a Son of Almighty, Gal 3:29
· Saved to be sons Abraham, Gal 3:29

GRACE comes to you THROUGH “TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH” 1 Pe. 1;7
To receive SALVATION of our SOULS
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1Pe 1:10 -Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the GRACE that should come unto you:
Those who DID NOT HONOUR WORDS OF SCRIPTURES to BE KEEPING SABBATH without SIN, are ABLE TO SEEK HELP from CRUCIFIED CHRIST by Rom. 6
Lu 3:6 -And all flesh shall see the salvation of Almighty.
Re 4:11 -Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Re 22:3 -And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Almighty and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
We are to overcome the world to be PART OF HEAVENLY CHURCH, REGISTERED IN HEAVEN, through SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, Heb. 12; 22-25.
All praise and thanksgiving be to the Saviour and Redeemer of ISRAEL AND ALL FLESH, THE HUSBAND AND REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, Isa 54: 5, TO THE ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY AND LAMB MESSIAH, 1 Jn. 5: 20, Amen and Amen.
