1521 JESUS CHRIST said we would be baptised with HOLY SPIRIT Ac 1.5 PCG is condemned for their baptismal Covenant through water baptism taught by H. W. Armstrong

11^th Oct 2026

5^th Day FEAST OF TABERNACLE as U.B days, Eze. 45.25

JESUS CHRIST said--Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 

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. 

All those who are following water baptism TO WORSHIP ALMIGHTY in SPIRIT and TRUTH are REQUIRED to BE BAPTISED TO CRUCIFIED CHRIST to be FORGIVEN AND TO RECEIVE NEWNESS of LIFE, Rom. 6;2-23!

Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 

READ Gerald Flurry’s writings of WATER BAPTISM written in No. 1520,

AND these WRITINGS are BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE to REPENT AND TO BE BAPTISED TO CRUCIFIED  CHRIST, Rom. 6, understanding THE SINNERS cannot be FREE from SIN through WATER and CANNOT RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT, Ac 2;38,39 from WATER, --- BUT BE BAPTIZED to CRUCIFIED JESUS CHRIST understanding WORDS of  Rom.  6, Col 2: 11-17, Gal 3;26-29, TO WORSHIP LORD ALMIGHTY in SPIRIT AND TRUTH, Jn. 4; 24, 25

Our work is grounded in what God taught through Mr. Armstrong and what He is teaching today

SIMEON had PROPHESIED FOR TODAY

When JESUS CHRIST was BORN

Luk 2:34  And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 

Luk 2:35  (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 

LORD says--ALL SOULS are HIS

AND SOUL sinneth shall DIE, therefore

CHRIST died to TAKE AWAY SINS, Heb.10;9-17.

Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 

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? 

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 6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

·      When Dead with CHRIST –WE LIVE without SIN

·      Then we are RIGHTEOUS to SERVE GOD ALMIGHTY

Rom 6:11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Rom 6:12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

GOD ALMIGHTY IS JESUS CHRIST, Heb. 7: 1-3

ABRAHAM was met by MELCHISEDEC

King of RIGHTEOUSNESS, King of PEACE

As ALMIGHTY GOD,

Gen 14:18  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 

Gen 14:19  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 

·       ALMIGHTY GOD met ABRAHAM

Gen 14:20  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 

Heb 7:2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 

HE is made like unto SON of GOD

As HIGH PRIEST FOREVER Heb. 7; 1-3

Heb 7:1  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Heb 7:2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 

Heb 7:3  Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 

So JESUS CHRIST is HIGH PRIEST of MELCHISEDEC ORDER FOREVER.

LORD says--ALL SOULS are HIS

AND SOUL sinneth shall DIE, therefore

CHRIST died to TAKE AWAY SINS, Heb.10;9-17.

Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 

Heb 10:9  Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 

·       LORD establishes 2^nd COVENANT by HIS SACRIFICE that SANCTIFIES all of us.

Heb 10:10  By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

Heb 10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 

Jer_31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jer_36:3  It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin

Gerald Flurry wrote in page 26 of Hosea booklet-(1^st edition)- Judah is not where Arafat was a leading terrorist in Middle East

“JUDAH WAS THE ONLY TRIBE OF ISRAEL LEFT TO DIRECT THE WORLD TO THE TRUE GOD. ----GOD’S TRUE CHURCH HAS THAT RESPONSIBILITY TODAY.  ”----

That is the relationship!

PCG IS RESPONSIBLE TODAY! -----BUT WHAT HAS JUDAH DONE?

Jer 17:1) The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

SIMEON PROPHESIED of JESUS CHRIST –he CAME by the SPIRIT into TEMPLE when JESUS CHRIST was brought as a BABY by His parents

SIMEON had PROPHESIED FOR TODAY

When JESUS CHRIST was BORN

Luk 2:34  And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 

Luk 2:35  (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 

·       Simeon said—his EYES have SEEN SALVATION –(read below)-

Luk 2:25  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 

Luk 2:27  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 

Luk 2:26  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 

Luk 2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 

Luk 2:29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 

Simeon seen SALVATION in baby JESUS

Luk 2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 

Luk 2:31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 

Luk 2:32  A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 

Luk 2:33  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 

Luk 2:34  And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 

Luk 2:35  (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 

H. W. Armstrong DID NOT TEACH

SECOND COVENANT through

SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST on HIS CROSS!

Which proves H. W. Armstrong

DID NOT UNDERSTAND

PASSOVER BLOOD of NEW COVENANT

Institution of the Lord's Supper

Mat 26:26  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 

Mat 26:27  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 

Mat 26:28  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 

Mat 26:29  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 

BY ONE OFFERING CHRIST OUR LORD

HAD PERFECTED FOREVER

THEM THAT are SANCTIFIED

FOR HIS NEW COVENANT

When He puts LAWS in HEARTS

Heb 10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 

Heb 10:11  And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 

Heb 10:12  But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 

Heb 10:13  From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 

Heb 10:14  For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 

Heb 10:15  Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 

Heb 10:16  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 

Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

That turned to be THE LIE, which is written in Rom.1;25-32, people sinned further upon WORD OF GOD.

·      IT HAD TURNED to be A DISASTER to GOD’S PEOPLE.

Therefore A Lament for the Princes of Israel

Eze 19:1  Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 

Eze 19:2  And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. 

·       Mother –H. W. Armstrong

Eze 19:3  And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men. 

·       Gerald Flurry learnt to catch prey—it devoured men (some disfellowshipped)

Eze 19:4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt. 

·      LORD MADE Gerald Flurry as PHARAOH, Rom.9;17

LORD SETS FIRE-IN EGYPT- Eze 30:8  And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 

Eze. 30;3—GENTILES TIMES –

TWO WITNESSES serve the LORD, Rev. 11;1-4

Eze 30:9  In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. 

Eze 30:10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 

Eze 30:11  He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. 

Eze 30:12  And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it. 

Eze 30:13  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 

(Princes of ISRAEL, Eze. 22; 1-11 had become Princes of SPIRITUAL Egypt!)

Eze 19:9  And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. 

·       Isa.14;4— Isa 14:4  That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!  (JERUSALEM IN ABOMINATIONS, Eze. 16;2)

Eze 19:11  And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. 

Eze 19:12  But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

Eze 19:13  And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. 

Eze 19:14  And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

THE NEED TODAY to BOW DOWN

TO CHRIST OUR LORD

And REPENT AND SEEK HIS FORGIVENESS

Understanding

THAT CRUCIFIED CHRIST

FORGIVES SINNERS

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? 

BAPTISM UNTO CRUCIFIED CHRIST paves the WAY to TAKE YOUR WORDS and TURN TO THE LORD who NAILED YOUR SINS on HIS CROSS—read in this article--

·       Hos_14:2  Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

BOOKLET on “All about Water baptism” of H. W. Armstrong made people of church to believe coming out of water pictures “CHRIST’S Resurrection and a New Life”—

·     Have these rulers read CRUCIFIXION of JESUS CHRIST?---READ Ps 22, Isa. 53, and books of apostles—

JESUS CHRIST SAID to them

Of The Promise of the Holy Spirit

Act 1:1  The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 

Act 1:2  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 

Act 1:3  To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 

Act 1:4  And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 

JESUS CHRIST said--Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 

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. 

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!

H. W. Armstrong wrote (“All about WATER BAPTISM” in page 17) coming out of water pictures CHRIST’S Resurrection and a New Life

READ Gerald Flurry’s writings of WATER BAPTISM in No. 1520, these WRITINGS are BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE to REPENT AND TO BE BAPTISED TO CRUCIFIED  CHRIST, Rom. 6, understanding THE SINNERS cannot be FREE from SIN through WATER and CANNOT RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT, Ac 2;38,39,  UNLESS BAPTIZED to JESUS CHRIST understanding WORDS of  Rom.  6, Col 2: 11-17, Gal 3;26-29, TO WORSHIP LORD ALMIGHTY in SPIRIT AND TRUTH, Jn. 4; 24, 25

Joh 4:23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 

Joh 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 

Joh 4:25  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 

Joh 4:26  Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 

·       THEN—NOT WORDS OF H. W. Armstrong

·       BUT WE ARE TO HEAR WORDS of JESUS CHRIST TO WORSHIP GOD in SPIRIT and IN TRUTH

AFTER JESUS CHRIST was BAPTIZED, DOVE shaped BIRD RESTING on HIM,  meant HOLY SPIRIT --Luk_4:1  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

·       Joh 1:32  And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 

Rev_21:6  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev_22:1  And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Rev_22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

LORD’S people are to be LIKE TREES

That absorbs WATER of LIFE

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 

Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

Psa 1:4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 

Psa 1:5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 

Psa 1:6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 

Jhn_3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

·      Isa_44:3  For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

1Jn_5:6  This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

1Jn_5:8  And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Jhn_7:39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

1Co_12:3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

·       Then PETER said how to RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT

PETER’S WORDS to be BAPTIZED to JESUS CHRIST TO

RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT

Act 2:36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

Act 2:37  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 

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. 

Act 2:40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 

Act 2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

In the Greek, the word is BAPTIZO, The definition  

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 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”

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!

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!—

Deu_6:5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Zec_14:3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle

Psa 9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 

Psa 9:19  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 

Psa 9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. 

1Co 14:1  Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 

1Co 14:22  Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 

1Co 14:8  For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? 

1Co 14:9  So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 

1Co 14:10  There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 

1Co 14:11  Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 

1Co 14:12  Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1Co 14:15  What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 

1Co 14:16  Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? 

1Co 14:17  For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 

1Co 14:19  Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 

1Co 14:20  Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 

1Co 14:21  In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 

1Co 14:22  Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 

The Way of Love

Is taught by CHRIST OUR LORD

1Co 13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

1Co 13:2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 

1Co 13:3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 

1Co 13:4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 

1Co 13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 

1Co 13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 

1Co 13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

1Co 13:8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

1Co 13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 

1Co 13:10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 

Read in No. 1177 quotes of H. W. Armstrong prove not understanding BURYING into baptism unto DEATH of CHRIST but LORD grants SALVATION to ISRAEL to inherit desolated heritages Isa 49.8 through faith of gentiles Gal.3.14, SERVING THE LORD, on DAY OF LORD, Eze. 30;3.  

Article No 1381 of 21^st May 2025 explained the errors and ENTICING WORDS of H. W. Armstrong from his writings in his booklet titled “All about water baptism”---he wrote All blessings of CHRIST comes from water. Some of the errors had been written in No 1381 but there  are so many explanations from biblical words prove that it is only the CRUCIFIED CHRIST by His baptizm saves us (nailing every ones Cross contain his/her sins against ordinances, Col 2:14) by circumcising our hearts, Col 2:11,13)

LORD grants us the ‘Resurrection’ to New Life without sin, by HIM CRUCIFIED, Ro 6:2-7

H. W. Armstrong wrote (in page 17) coming out of water pictures CHRIST’S Resurrection and a New Life—

But Ro 6:3-23—explains the RIGHTEOUS character of JESUS CHRIST given to believer THROUGH HAVING FAITH IN CRUCIFIED CHRIST to HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE, in EVERLASTING COVENANT!

It is only when you put on CHRIST by baptizm you could be a son of Abraham and Son of GOD—Gal 3:26-29  

LORD is ANGRY with SHEPHERDS

He had punished the GOATS

Zec 10:3  Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 

Zec 10:4  Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 

A Cornerstone in Zion

Isa 28:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 

TO BE BUILT UPON THE CORNER STONE,

NAIL came out of HIM, Zec. 10.4

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;

Zec_14:3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. Zec 10:4  Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 

Rev. 9; 7,9—Rev. 16.14,---Rev. 20; 8 (GOG and MAGOG, FOUGHT the LORD there Number as SAND of SEA—Sand of sea is the number of ISRAEL who represent ABRAHAM--

Those who were baptised to water are WITH SINS, therefore THEY FIGHT the LORD as SAND OF SEA--- ABRAHAM was blessed as SAND OF SEA, Gen 22;17, Israel as sand of the sea, Isa.10;22, Rom.9:27, Gog and Magog, devil fought GOD as “sand of sea” Rev 20:7,8, they in lake of fire, dead, judged, Rev.20;13.  Jer 33:22 –seed of DAVID and LEVI as sand of sea !

Read the BATTLE of LORD—

Jdg_5:31  So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might, And the land had rest forty years.

·      Those who SERVE LORD in HIS BATTLE are AS SUN

·      Those knowing EQUINOX of SUN knows that BATTLE OF LORD for HE FIGHTS SINNERS who are DECEIVED by DEVIL

·      And LORD would WIN HIS BATTLE.

·      AND ENTER HIS REST, Heb. 4

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_4:4  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_4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

In No. 1492 Fasting for BATTLE OF LORD David said Rulers to be just and ruling in fear of God 2 Sam 23.3 LORD sprang from JUDAH Heb. 7.4 and Lion of JUDAH makes kings and priests Rev. 5.10

Rev 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 

No.  1492--FAST OF FOURTH MONTH (Zec. 8.19)

26^th June 2026

We fasted for the LEVI of church to UNDERSTAND that LORD had TAKEN their SINS out of them ON HIS CROSS the CROSS OF LAMB JESUS CHRIST

·      FOR HE REQUIRES HIS CHURCH to be A VIRGIN

Levi—whom He redeems as First fruits, Rev. 14:4

Rev 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

·      Their sin of ADULTERY had been CRUCIFIED ON HIS CROSS, Rom. 6;6,7 (CRUCIFIED  with HIM)

He is Lion of Judah opened scroll and makes kings and priests to God. He makes virgins—Rev. 14:4—

·      We should understand mother of Obed is a virtuous woman, Ru 3:11.

Mother of JESUS CHRIST is a virgin, He was conceived of HOLY SPIRIT, Mt. 1:20

·      JESUS CHRIST was then BORN OF A VIRTUOS WOMAN, A VIRGIN, Mt. 1;20

So JESUS CHRIST has to definitely marry a virgin—therefore He creates NEW JERUSALEM as a virgin. The land as a virgin, Isa.  62:4-5—

SO LORD’S BATTLE is to create His church as A virgin and we fast for that cause

And LEVI of HIS CHURCH to UNDERSTAND and HONOUR the BAPTISM unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST, understanding HOW MUCH LORD loves HIS PEOPLE! 

Levi—whom He redeems as First fruits, Rev. 14:4

Rev 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

·      Their sin of ADULTERY had been CRUCIFIED ON HIS CROSS, Rom. 6;6,7 (CRUCIFIED  with HIM)

LORD JESUS CHRIST is Lion of Judah who opened scroll and makes kings and priests to God. He makes virgins—Rev. 14:4—we should understand mother of Obed (Great grandfather of David) is a virtuous woman, Ru 3:11.

Mother of JESUS CHRIST is a virgin, He was conceived of HOLY SPIRIT, Mt. 1:20

Mat 1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 

Mat 1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. 

So JESUS CHRIST as LAMB has to definitely marry a virgin, Rev. 19; 7, 8—therefore He creates NEW JERUSALEM as a virgin. The land as a virgin, Isa.62:4-5—

SO LORD’S BATTLE is to create His church as A virgin and we fasted for that cause on 26^th June 2026.

Zec 10:5  And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. 

·       WE FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE of LORD AND LORD is with us, TO ANSWER OUR REQUESTS.

·       For we KNOW HOW HE DIED for SINS of HIS PEOPLE, we were FORGIVEN by HIM, by HIS GRACE, Eph.2.5,6,  shed from HIS DEATH, Heb.  2;9--to make us know GOD of ISRAEL, through HIS BLOOD, Eph. 2; 11-13

Eph 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

Eph 2:6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

Eph 2:7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

One in Christ by His Blood by CRUCIFIED CHRIST

Eph 2:11  Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 

Eph 2:12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 

Eph 2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Understanding WORDS OF LORD by HIS SPIRIT we RECEIVED when WE WERE BAPTISED to CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Rom.  6; 3-23—we know ALL THOSE WORDS, THE SPIRIT of Rom. 6 is KEEPING us STRONG to SERVE HIM.

·       Judah is represented by POOR, Jer. 52;16 (others as Judah and some poor are in BABYLON, Jer. 52; 15)

·       So the poor in Ships of Tarshish FIGHT in the BATTLE SERVING LORD.

Zec 10:6  And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them. 

Zec 10:7  And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. 

Zec 10:8  I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. 

Zec 10:9  And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again. 

Zec 10:10  I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. 

Zec 10:11  And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. 

H. W. Armstrong from his writings in his booklet titled “All about water baptism”---he wrote All blessings of CHRIST in Rom.  6, comes from water. Some of the errors had been written in No 1381 but there  are so many explanations from biblical words prove that it is only the CRUCIFIED CHRIST by His baptizm saves us (nailing every ones Cross contain his/her sins against ordinances, Col 2:14) by circumcising our hearts, Col 2:11,13)

LORD grants us the ‘Resurrection’ to New Life without sin, by HIM CRUCIFIED, Ro 6:2-7

H. W. Armstrong wrote (in page 17) People coming out of water pictures CHRIST’S Resurrection and a New Life—

But Ro 6:3-23—explains the RIGHTEOUS character of JESUS CHRIST given to believer to be part of EVERLASTING LIFE, in EVERLASTING COVENANT!

It is only when you put on CHRIST by baptizm you could be a son of Abraham and Son of GOD for the LORD—Gal 3:26-29  

Here are some additional explanations

It is by baptism unto JESUS CHRIST you are given HOLY SPIRIT as Peter wrote to ISRAEL and gentiles of far, Ac 2:38,39. It is SPIRIT which gives life, Jn 6:63

Read below an analogy about Father and Son,

Heb.  1:1-3 tells us in last days GOD spoke to us by His Son as Creator of world who is express image of HIS person upholds ALL things by WORD of HIS POWER, ---

·       He Himself  purges our sins and salvation down at the RIGHT HAND of MOST HIGH Majesty , Heb1;1-13

Heb.1:13—says GOD would make your enemies His footstool which means followers of H. W. Armstrong who taught LIES and Gerald Flurry who ridiculed JESUS CHRIST as LAMB ----are ENEMIES of LORD who would BOW DOWN

Gerald Flurry ERRONEOUSLY wrote of CHRIST the LAMB (on 18/ 5/ 2013—Mt 24 transcript in Key of David) that JESUS CHRIST is “just qualified to open the seals; ----He did not open it there, SO THAT THE MEN WOULD UNDERSTAND”!!!!!!!-

THAT MEANS PCG LEADER could not SEE, READ bible-and  BELIEVE THAT- CHRIST,  as the Lamb opened seals of Revelations, Rev. 5; 9,  and started to PERFORM THEM as written in--Rev. 6: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12—7: 17, 8: 1---and that CHRIST would establish HIS KINGDOM, Rev. 11: 15, and NEW ARK, Rev. 11; 19!

?      Gerald Flurry thought MEN as H. W. Armstrong or Gerald Flurry could understand REVELATIONS!

In Royal Vision -PENTECOST 2007---Gerald Flurry wrote that he is god with capital “G”

Gerald Flurry became son of perdition, 2 The 4:3,4 such are enemies of JESUS CHRIST, the Ministry of them join the Leaders to be against JESUS CHRIST The TRUE GOD, 1 Jn 5:20

This is why word of GOD in Isa. 23:15 expresses of 70 years of H. W. Armstrong completed by Gerald Flurry making church TO BE HARLOT, both as “TYRE” the Merchant type Leaders would be “NO MORE” —Eze. 28:11-19

Eze. 28---Lamentation to TYRE-vs 11,12,  he was made as Cherub, vs 16, he would be NO MORE, vs 19

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.

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. 

Eze 28:11  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Eze 28:12  Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

·       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. 

Eze 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. 

Eze 28:19  All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. 

The daughter of Tyre has to meet servant of GOD in Ophir, Ps 45:9,12

Psa 45:9   Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 

Psa 45:12   And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 

Heb.1:4-13

Learn the POWERS JESUS CHRIST HAS --as A SON

(but JESUS CHRIST is the TRUE GOD, 1 Jn 5;20, who made HIMSELF as A SON, He 7;1-3, and as “HIS CHRIST” as seen in Rev, 11;19

Heb 1:4  Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 

Heb 1:5  For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 

Heb 1:6  And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 

Heb 1:7  And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 

Heb 1:8  But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 

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. 

Heb 1:10  And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: 

Heb 1:11  They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 

Heb 1:12  And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 

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?

At The Seventh Trumpet

PREDESTINED are to BE PREPARED

Rev 11:15  And the 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 for ever and ever. 

• GOD made HIMSELF as “HIS CHRIST”
• “HIS CHRIST” is JESUS CHRIST as THE SON of GOD, Heb. 7; 1-3

Act_4:26  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against His Christ.

Rev_11:15  And the 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 for ever and ever.

Rev_12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Rev 11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 

Rev 11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 

Rev 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 

Rev 11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. 

PART 2 of No.  1177—

Quotes from a booklet written by H. W. Armstrong on ‘ALL ABOUT WATER BAPTIZM” shows that he had not understood that all are to receive HOLY SPIRIT by being BURIED into baptizm unto DEATH of JESUS CHRIST

·      PCG failed because Gerald Flurry relied on words of H. W. Armstrong

Words of Gerald Flurry makes understand the FOLLOWERS of CHRIST our LORD to RELY ON EVERY WORD of JESUS CHRIST , Lu. 4; 4, Mt. 4;4, according to Deut.  8; 3—

Gerald Flurry wrote—of relying on H. W. Armstrong

“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.”

He wrote so in His article –

Why Our College Is Named After Herbert W. Armstrong --By Gerald Flurry • Aug. 22, 2019

(Repeated in TRUMPET on Aug 13^th 2022)

·      PCG having service of God, Rom.  9; 4-7, Eze. 16; 8, is shamed before they are established in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16; 59-60

Some quotes from “All about water Baptism

H W Armstrong’s booklet” which proves of the ERROR of choosing

Baptizm unto CHRIST as burying in water!

H. W. Armstrong wrote--

Is water baptism essential to salvation? What about the “thief on the cross? Was he saved without it?

What is the proper form or mode sprinkling, pouring or immersion?

Comments

Thief was immersed in a CROSS understanding that he was a sinner, Lu. 23; 39-43.

He was CRUCIFIED with CHRIST at the same time!

HE KNEW of himself as a SINNER—

And KNEW JESUS CHRIST as NOT A SINNER

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. 

·      He was CRUCIFIED at the same time as was JESUS CHRIST

·      We are to be baptized unto CHRIST by being CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, Rom.  6; 6, 7

Col 2:6 -As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

·      CHRIST came to save sinners,  And the thief accepted himself as a sinner

·      Then CHRIST said--Joh 17:24  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am

Therefore CHRIST said— Lu. 23; 43 -And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

·      When we gentiles received HOLY SPIRIT by baptizm, Acts. 2; 39, we come to UNDERSTAND HOLY SPIRIT, which is His words, Jn.  6; 63---therefore we understand WHY THIEF was in PARADISE with JESUS CHRIST!

H. W. Armstrong wrote—in page 6 “In vain do they worship me, said Jesus, “teaching for doctrines the commandment of men (Mark 7:6-9)

Comments

The FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES (HOLY SPIRIT, His words, Jn. 6; 63)

Given for baptized unto JESUS CHRIST , Acts. 2; 38

Would LEAD you to EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59;21

(Read them and prove)

Then, you understand that men’s teachings as Commandments

WOULD NOT PROFIT

For EVERLASTING COVENANT!

De 18:18-I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.-- 18:19  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

De 11:18 -Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

Prophecies in Deut. had taught THE VALUE IN HEARING GOD’S WORDS!

And NOT Commandments of men, for men’s words would NEVER TEACH GOD’S WILL of EVERLASTING COVENANT.

Ps 141:6 -When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

·      Mt. 13; 5-7 teaches that men as JUDGES who SERVE in STONY places would not GROW to serve the LORD!

Pr 2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Pr 4:20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

Pr 7:1  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Isa 51:16  And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

·      ZION  would be built by WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST , as HOLY SPIRIT

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 forever.

H. W. Armstrong wrote in—page 7 –Jn 3:3,6, Gen 2:7, 3:19, 1 Co 15:47-49 –To be born of God we must, first now in this life, receive the impregnating LIFE—the HOLY SPIRIT  ---from God. 

·      As written HOLY SPIRIT is ONLY given to those who LEARN WORDS OF Rom. 6: 2-23, TO BE BAPTIZED unto HIS DEATH to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 2; 38,39.

“HWA wrote—page 9—“REPENT”! shouted the inspired Peter in great power “  Acts 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 SPIRIT.

Baptism is an ordinance symbolizing FAITH in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

·      (HE referred to WATER BAPTISM)

Comment—believers are to UNDERSTAND WHY HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN AS A GIFT—

·      For NO MAN would understand why GOD OF WHOLE EARTH counseled LAMB before world began, to manifest in LAST TIMES, 1 Pe 1; 19-20

·      And 2 Pe 1; 19-20 making understand that CHRIST would be FORMED IN HEARTS as  ‘DAY STAR”, if you INTERPRET prophecies through SCRIPTURES--

1 Pe 1; 19-But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 -Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

2 Pe 1;19-We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 -Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

·      In our gentile work amidst ships of Tarshish, Ps 48; 7, we do so, and UNDERSTAND HOLY SPIRIT through HIS WORDS, Jn. 6; 63---

·      That is we INTERPRET HOLY SPIRIT through WORDS OF CHRIST our LORD, from BIBLE---

·      We will never go wrong, as HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL is teachings us, Isa 17; 7.

·      We do not read PCG books, but the ONE BOOK of the GOOD SHEPHERD, FEARING GOD to keep Commandments, Ec 12; 11-13.

“H. W. Armstrong wrote--“page 10---

MEANING OF “In the Name of Jesus Christ”

Here is a most important truth His disciples did the baptizing in HIS NAME—that is in His stead—they did it for Him by His authority—and that as considered just the same as of Jesus had actually done it Himself!

COMMENT—

We have to understand ALL TRUTHS about HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT, HIS GRACE as HIS DEATH that QUALIFIES to be PART OF COVENANT –which you find all over the BIBLE—

Even in Gen 9; 4, 5 we see instructions about sin of brother —

Gen 9:5  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 

·       Here the BEAST is-- Psa 49:20  Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. 

GOD is HIS WISE COUNSELS judges ALL MEN whom

HE CALLED, Jn. 6;44, 45, THEY SHOULD BE WITHOUT SIN to WORSHIP HIM

HE WATCHES THEM, THEIR WORKS!

Ps 94:9-He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

Ex 4:11 -And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

Pr 20:12 -The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.

Ps 11:4 -The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

Ps 17:3-Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Ps 44:21-Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

We are to understand that HE IS PERFORMING the WORKS

OF HIS in Gen. 1; 3-5

HE IS DIVIDING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WICKEDNESS’

As DAY and NIGHT.

For HE REQUIRES ALL TO BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH

To receive HOLY SPIRIT to store in their hearts as TEMPLES, 1 Co 3; 16, 17

To be RIGHTEOUS to SERVE HIM in SECOND COVENANT,

As married to CHRIST, Rom.  7; 4

They are to Serve Him through HIS WORDS, as HOLY SPIRIT 

1 Co 3; 16 -Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17-If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

18 -Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

·      If you think you are WISE---forget your PRIDE, and learn WORD OF GOD to be SAVED!

Erred peoples’ work would be destroyed, but they would be saved, 1 Co 3; 15

Psalm 139 makes us understand

That we cannot hide from Him, He knows when NIGHT

Is given to men, Mic 3;6, and that HE SAVES them on DAY OF LORD 

Ps 139:2 -Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Ps 139:3-Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

Ps 139:4 -For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

Ps 139:12-Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

Receive HOLY SPIRIT to store in their hearts and DO NOT MAKE MEMBERS OF CHRIST as members of harlots—

We understand all these counsels through HIS WORDS,

THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT, that is the reason HE GIVES HOLY SPIRIT

Through BAPTIZM unto HIS NAME, Acts. 2; 38, 39

Which is Rom.  6: 3-23, Col 2; 11-13, Gal.  3; 26-29!

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.

16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

·      HARLOTS would destroy lives of PEOPLE, Prov. 5, 6, 7

·      Therefore HOLY SPIRIT the WORDS OF HIS explains and teaches those counsels to believers of baptizm, to avoid FRONCATION for fornication despise the NAME OF GOD, 1 Thes 4; 1-8!

17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

·      Believers join CHRIST our LORD through HIS SPIRIT, to become ONE SPIRIT!

1 Co 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,

10 -Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

·      ALL WICKEDNESSES found in men are to BE ERADICATED from HEARTS of believers TO BE RIGHTEOUS before GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, to worship HIM IN TRUTH and in SPIRIT, Jn.  4; 23, 24

·      TRUTH is CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal.  3;1 for granting BAPTIZM unto HIS DEATH, Rom.  6---and SPIRIT, which would be given through BAPTISM, Acts. 2: 38, 39

H. W. Armstrong  wrote-page 11—

Gospel commission, is in  Mk 16:15-16

Mrk.16; 15--And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

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 GOVERNMENT of God.

COMMENT—

H. W. Armstrong did NOT KNOW that JESUS CHRIST is GOD ALMIGHTY!

H. W. Armstrong had not understood that CHRIST our LORD came MADE as SON of GOD, Heb. 7; 1-3

·      That FATHER AND SON are ONE GOD!

·      HE came as ‘HIS CHRIST”-----that is as GOD’S CHRIST!

·      That is GOD THE CREATOR counseled HIMSELF to come as a man to MAKE HIS ONE OFFERING, for SECOND COVENANT, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14. 

Kings, rulers were against HIS CHRIST, Martha knew of HIS CHRIST, Jn.11: 19-27- I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Peter knew of HIS CHRIST, Jn.6: 69, Andrew believed Him as HIS CHRIST, Jn.1; 41, woman of Samaria knew so, Jn.4; 25, 26

Preach the gospel to every creature.

Gospel of GRACE of GOD,  Acts.20;24, ----is ---GOSPEL of CROSS, 1 Co 1; 17------it is gospel of Kingdom of God, Mt. 4;23 -------it is of gospel of PEACE, Eph.  6:15, -------the glorious gospel, 2 Co 4; 4, 1 Ti 1; 11, ------it is the EVERLASTING GOSPEL, Rev. 14; 6, -----it is Gospel of SALVATION, Eph.1; 13 –all those gospels are for EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59; 21

"The gospel of the grace of God" is given for EVERLASTING COVENANT, The SECOND COVENANT, Heb. 10:7-14, as He shed BLOOD OF NEW COVENANT, Mt. 26 28

·      BLOOD of NEW COVENANT is received at PASSOVER

·      IT IS THE BLOOD SHED on HIS CROSS,

·      But, CROSS of CHRIST was DESPISED BY H. W. Armstrong!

Acts. 20; 24--But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

The many blessings of GRACE OF GOD

Are proved through DEATH OF CHRIST on HIS CROSS

Gospel of Cross—is given through HIS CROSS, that is HIS DEATH!

1 Co 1;17-- For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

"The gospel of the kingdom"

Mt 4:23-- Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

·      We are to have FAITH to enter KINGDOM OF GOD, Rev. 11; 15, in the NEW ARK of TESTIMONY, Rev. 11; 19, through many witnesses of Cloud, those witnesses, Heb. 12; 1, 2,  are about HIS DEATH on CROSS, which is HIS GRACE shown to believers through HOLY SPIRIT!

"The gospel of Christ"

Ro 1:16-- For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

·      ALL FLESH would receive SALVATION through gospel of GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST through becoming SONS of GOD and sons of Abraham by PUTTING ON CHRIST through baptizm, Gal 3; 26-29

"The gospel of peace

·      Needed for GOVERNMENT of PEACE, Isa 9; 7, Eze 37;21-28

Eph 6:15-- 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

·      CHRIST our LORD said to KEEP EVERY WORD to be saved from devil--

17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

·      The WORD OF GOD, HIS SPIRIT, the HOLY SPIRIT helps us to be SAVED from devil –to be saved from synagogue of Satan!

18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

·      Pray with HOLY SPIRIT, understanding HIS SPIRIT the WORDS OF HIS!

"The glorious gospel of CHRIST," enables to enter GLORIOUS CHURCH, Eph.  5; 27

2Co 4:4 -- the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

PAUL preached the GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF GOD

Which fulfills in CHRIST (Father and Son is ONE GOD, Isa 9; 6)

1Ti 1:11-- According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 ¶  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;---PAUL was crucified with CHRIST, Gal.  2; 19-22

13  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

·      PAUL was a sinner, DID PERSECUTE CHURCH ignorantly!

14  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST when PAUL was crucified with Him, as in Rom.  6; 6, 7, was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

·      PAUL received GRACE Of GOD, just as gentiles received, Eph.  2; 5, 6---AND GRACE was given to PAUL and to gentiles, Eph.  2;5, 6, to SERVE AND PREACH CHRIST our LORD!

PAUL ADMITTED THAT HE WAS A GREAT SINNER---1 Ti 1: 15  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

·      PAUL obtained MERCY----which we SEE FROM THE WORDS PAUL wrote---PAUL wrote SPIRIT OF CHRIST –which is HIS WORDS, THE HOLY SPIRIT!

17  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen.

·      So PAUL was able to HONOUR and GLORIFY THE ONLY King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God

"The gospel of salvation" (Read a glimpse of Plan of Salvation in No. 1170)

Eph 1:13--In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that HOLY SPIRIT of promise,

·      HOLY SPIRIT is given after baptizm Acts. 2; 38, 39.

·      It is the GUARANTEE until REDEMPTION of purchased CHURCH, vs. 14--

14--Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

·      Then GLOROIUS CHURCH would be seen, with those who RECEIVE SALVATION!

"The everlasting gospel,"

Re 14:6--And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

When EVERLASTING GOSPEL is preached

Babylon would FALL, PCG as Babylon would fall!

Rev. 14; 7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.—PCG was as  harlot, Eze. 16; 15, so she went on doing her own works, NOT UNDERSTANDING EVERLASTING COVENANT which would be established during their time, Eze. 16; 60-63.

9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, PCG honours words of H. W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry ---men’s words would NEVER ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD with the NEW ARK, but GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST poured from HIS DEATH on the CROSS, and of HIS RESURRECTION would serve as GRACE to believers TO RECEIVE SALVATION in NEW ARK!—

·      so the ERRED MINISTRY of NIGHT OF Mic 3; 6 WOULD SUFFER as Babylon—those who trust THE LAMB as CHRIST pouring HIS SACRIFICE would receive the BLESSING of EVERLASTING GOSPEL, of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16; 60-63, Heb. 13; 20-21.

10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Men’s words would NEVER ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD with the NEW ARK, men cannot be honoured, since they are CREATURES, Rom.  1; 25, CREATOR IS TO BE WORSHIPED BY ALL IN EARTH, Rom.  1; 25----

Please read more in No. 1176 in www.restoringcaptivity.com

Gentiles who trusted THE LAMB as CHRIST pouring HIS SACRIFICE received POWER from HOLY SPIRIT to preach the BLESSING of EVERLASTING GOSPEL, of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16; 60-63, Heb. 13; 20-21.

“H. W. Armstrong wrote---in page 13—

But the  minister who plunges the new believer under the water performs the act in the name of—that is by authority of Jesus Christ. Why? Because Jesus said “ALL POWER”—and that includes all authority—“is given unto me in heaven and in earth” He has all authority! Either we do it by His authority or else we are doing it without any authority.

Comment

Paul wrote how he received baptism of Ro 6:6-7, in Gal 2:19-21.

H. W. Armstrong did not teach that righteousness comes from Grace of God which is death of CHRIST, Heb. 2; 9,  given as one offering for Second Covenant.

Heb. 2;9-- He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

·      Therefore we should RECEIVE HIS GRACE from HIS DEATH!

 If we died with Him—2 Tim 2:11-13, Co 1:16-27, it is buried unto His death—PAUL wrote --Ro 6:6, Gal 2:20

Gal.  2; 20-- I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Rom.  6; 6—CRUCIFIED with HIM, vs. 7—forgiven!

·      So we receive FORGIVENESS from being as BURIED WITH HIM, to receive CIRCUMCISED HEARTS, Col 2; 11-13, and CRUCIFIED with HIM, Rom.  6; 6!

COULD ANY ONE receive forgiveness and Righteousness through BURYING IN WATER???

·      NO---we have to be BURIED IN WORDS OF BAPTIZM UNTO DEATH OF CHRIST to understand the VERY MANY BLESSINGS we receive from HIS BAPTIZM for the purpose of SECOND COVENANT –That is why we receive BLOOD OF NEW COVENANT at PASSOVER, Mt. 26; 28!

When HOLY SPIRIT is given through baptism to Jesus Christ, Ac 2:38, HOLY SPIRIT teaches to preserve your body to be righteous as He is.

“H. W. Armstrong wrote—pg 15—

Immersion, sprinkling or Pouring?

·      Baptize mean immersion.

Comment

We are to be immersed or buried in teachings of Death and Resurrection and His Life to be Baptized.

John wrote of Jesus Christ’s baptism to receive HOLY SPIRIT.

HOLY SPIRIT is words, Jn.6; 63.

So we are to be buried in words of Jesus Christ as prophesied in Deut 8:3, and taught by JESUS CHRIST , Mt 4:4, Lk 4:4

“HWA wrote-page 16—The meaning of Baptism

Baptism is a BURIAL and a RISING FROM A GRAVE,

Notice Col 2:12. “Buried with him in baptism wherein also ye are risen with him from the dead. When one in plunged into the water he is in a watery grave. He would not live ten minutes unless brought up out of the water—unless RISEN from this watery grave. Therefore, a person immersed in water is in a literal grave.

 Then HWA quoted Ro 6:3-5

Through WATER BAPTISM—

There is the beautiful symbolism—the real meaning of baptism.---the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

It pictures in symbol the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

COMMENT—

H. W. Armstrong did not understand to be CRUCIFIED with HIM, Rom.6; 6!

·      It is the WORDS OF GOD as HOLY SPIRIT that teaches the TRUTHS of CRUCIFIED with CHRIST –

·      Blessings of His death and resurrection---forgives and justifies the sinner to be confirmed to the STANDARD of BRETHREN, Ro 8; 29, and SONS OF GOD, Gal.  3; 26-29, then only they could receive inheritance as SONS OF GOD and SONS OF Abraham, for Abraham INHERITS EARTH, Rom.  4; 13!

A watery grave wrote H. W. Armstrong

But it is a DUAL picture as all things in God”s Plan are Dual in operation.

 It also pictures the crucifixion of the old self (vs 6-7) or of the sinning life, the burial of this sinning self and the coming up out of this watery grave,symbolic of a CHANGED PERSON resurrected to a new, righteous, spiritual life in Christ Jesus .

Going down into the water pictures the death of Christ and of the old self

COMMENT –

A WATERY GRAVE cannot give blessings for EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59; 21!

“HWA wrote--“page 17—

Coming up out of the water pictures Christ’s RESURRECTION and a spiritually resurrected person walking henceforth “in newness of life”

Water baptism is the ordinance ordained of  Christ by which we express our FAITH in Christ as Savior—our acceptance of His death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our repentance of the old life and burial of it, rising to new and higher life henceforth. It is a beautiful ordinance full of meaning

Comments

He wrote of Ro 6:3-7, Col 2:12, Ac 2:38,39,

BUT TRUSTED in water of rivers, sea, bath tubs to receive BLESSINGS OF BAPTIZM OF CHRIST!!

Jer 7:8—you trust in lying words that cannot profit.

Jer 7: 9 -Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

10 -And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

11 -Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

In 70 year period H. W. Armstrong  and PCG denied cross Gerald Flurry denied the Lamb, became a HARLOT, Isa 23; 15, broken covenant, Eze. 44; 7

·      Did they bear fruits from OLD COVENANT through Lu. 16; 16 –law until prophets and John, then kingdom of God preached!

·      HAD THEY WALKED IN NEWNESS OF LIFE TO ENTER HOLIEST by flesh and blood, Heb. 10; 19-20, in kingdom of God?

4 -The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5 -Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.,

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

in the Greek, the word is BAPTIZO, The definition of this 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 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!

?       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.

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—

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

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

Preached by PAUL

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; 

MORE Quotes FROM No.  1381 

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

Paul teaching to gentiles, 2 Tim 1:11 of the TRUTH as CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal 3;1

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!

?      When God’s things are NOT UNDERSTOOD, the LEADERS would be as BEASTS, Ps 49;20

But Gerald Flurry wrote—

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.  

SO Gerald Flurry made the church FOLLOW words of H. W. Armstrong –making him as their NEW husband---sodomy, Ro 1:25-28

1 Co 5;1- 1Co 5:1  It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 

?       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)

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 13^th 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!

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. 

JESUS CHRIST said--Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.  

?     JESUS CHRIST said John truly baptize Ac 1:5 John said “water baptism” was to make known JESUS CHRIST to Israel Jn 1:31

WCG, PCG absorbed baptism unto John, and LORD KNEW OF H. W. Armstrong teaching so!

THE PURPOSE IS GENTILES to be made known by PAUL to 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 or wrong

(surely those who baptised to WATER would have THEIR SINS remaining or INCREASED—and LORD judged them AS SINNERS!

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? 

Hos_14:2  Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

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 PREMINENCE—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

Preached by PAUL

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; 

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. 

EVERLASTING COVENANT is through

GENERATION AFTER GENERATION, Isa 59;21

(ONLY LORD LIVES FOREVER)

By baptism we receive EVERLASING LIFE, Ro 6;19-23

And their NAMES WOULD BE WRITTEN IN BOOK OF LAMB, Re 21;27

Rev 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. 

?       CHRIST died as of A LAMB, counselled before world began, 1 Pe 1;19-20---and CRUCIFIED CHRIST, the TRUTH, Gal 3;1, AS CRUCIFIED LAMB of GOD, Jn 1;26-33, saves us to GIVE SALVATION when we RECEIVE BAPTISM unto HIS DEATH, and PARTAKE PASSOVER to Kingdom of God, Isa 30;29 --- Isa 30:29  Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. 

?       Could we see, the BAPTISM, Ro 6,  LEADS to a TRUE PASSOVER, Isa 30;29, when you HAD JUDGED yourself, or LORD HAD CHASTENED, 1 Co 11;26-34
