IDENTIFYING THE WORK OF
DESPOILERS Progressing according to accurate knowledge of the Will of God toward true baptism is a wonderful opportunity that Jehovah, through His Son, has extended to all human spirits. But those anointed with Holy Spirit before their water baptism and who receive certain spiritual gifts of service through this anointing, are different from those not sealed at all by Holy Spirit. For anointed ones receive Spirit communications from God through their anointing. (Eph 1:13,14). After water baptism, early Christians were baptized with Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:5). This happened only to the first sons of the heavenly Kingdom of God under the "new covenant" by The Christ. (Heb 8:7-13). Chosen men of God since then have received Holy Spirit before water baptism. Water baptism symbolizes baptism into Christ's death and rising to walk in a "newness of life". (Acts 10:45-48. Rom 6:4). The all-important question that should now be considered by the "other sheep, which are not of this fold" is this: Who should they heed in connection with Kingdom developments administered by the Spirit of God? Anointed sons of God or unsealed men? (John 10:16). The answer is plain: Those who by their works prove they are anointed brothers in union with The Christ. (1 John 2:26-29). But if you come to realize that you have been listening to someone whose claim to be a spiritual "Jew" proves false, you must heed the warning of Revelation 3:9. If, however, you choose to listen to the liar, you have become enslaved by him, and God has let an operation of error go to you. (2 Thess 2:1-12). Indeed, you were both "baptized for the purpose of being dead ones". (1 Cor 15:28,29).
What does this all mean?
Firstly, that letters to recommend an unsealed man to a position of
'elder' are
a satanic deception and a means of self-recommendation. Further, that anointed
ones by their Spirit communications prove they are part of the "body"
of The Christ of 144,000 anointed brothers. (Eph 4:11-13). But to those who
indulge in apostasy by recommending others to positions of authority without the
spiritual qualifications to do so, I say this: "You have neither part nor
lot in this matter, for your heart is not straight in the sight of God." (Acts 8:9 Unsealed men who by stealth presumptuously ordain other men and thereby recommend themselves as appointees of others as well as themselves to carry out priestly duties without a prerogative of Holy Spirit from God to do so are liars. They are deliberately sinning against the Holy Spirit, for which there is no forgiveness. (Matt 12:31,32). All holy communications are from God by Spirit, some in visions of the night. They are certainly not by the divination of demons active within apostate enemies of God. To those who have prophesied falsely in His Name and have demonstrated their jealousy of faithful anointed sons of God by ostracizing and usurping them in the congregations, I say this: Through your injurious treatment of anointed brothers of The Christ you have demonstrated your jealousy to the Firstborn Son of God and have therefore not come to be known by God. (Matt 25:41-46). (Cont. on Page 777). 10/3/87. |
