                 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge   
                                         Hosea 4:6   
      
   Yet, we may not rebuke anyone other so much or blame him, or   
   reproach your people that we should rebuke and blame the priest.   
   Hosea 4:4. (My translation from the Swedish Bible).   
      
   Why are God's people lacking knowledge? Those that would be   
   shepherds and teachers in the Assembly of God are self ensnared in   
   false doctrines. They believe that the free-churches are assemblies of God.   
      
   There are thousands of preachers and bible teachers, what are they doing?   
   They are busy year after year, and decades after decades, with preaching   
   and practice a false doctrine about the Assembly of God. What do they   
   do in the bible schools? Is it none there that can teach about the Assembly   
   of God, or about the baptism by the Holy Spirit?   
      
   Pentecostal preachers use to say, we preach all God's word, but they do   
   not. Why do they not preach the truth of the Assembly of God? Why do   
   they not teach the people about the churches and denominations and   
   elucidate this so that people can understand how it is? People do not even   
   know in what they are members.   
      
   In the Bible is much knowledge about the Assembly of God to fetch, but   
   that the Pentecostal preachers mention nothing about. For example, how   
   many members in the Pentecostal Movement are baptized by the Holy   
   Spirit? Answer: None knows. But if we ask, how many in the Assembly   
   of God are baptized in the Holy Spirit? Then we have the answer directly   
   in 1 Cor. 12:13. "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body..."   
   But it is not all that speak in tongues. Verse 30. This shows that the   
   Pentecostal churches are no assemblies of God.   
      
   If the Pentecostal preachers would preach the entire truth about the   
   Assembly of God, then it would destroy the Pentecostal Movement   
   totally, for it is not founded on God's word. The Pentecostal Movement,   
   and all other free-churches, are parts of the great Babylon, that the Lord   
   has exhorted his people to come out of. Rev. 18:4.   
      
   When the Pentecostal Revival came, it was most powerful and best in the   
   first the time before they began to "establish assemblies". These so-called   
   Pentecostal churches were the beginning to a new church system. They   
   enclosed the revival in this church system, and called the church system   
   the "Pentecostal Revival". The preaching lost its salinity and became   
   lukewarm and tolerant. The revival fire began to go out and it became   
   spiritual stagnation and retrogression. Yet, today the Christians have not   
   realized the connection between the revival's stagnation, and establishment   
   of denominations and church system.   
      
   Why did the revival's fire go out? It was because they stopped struggling   
   for the Bible's truths, and became tolerant for the false assembly doctrine   
   of the great harlot. They respected the denomination's assemblies as God's   
   assemblies. This shows that they in the foundation had the same assembly   
   doctrine as in the denominations. Tolerance for a false doctrine is to open   
   for wickedness spiritual powers so that they get influence on the activity.   
   Like as the Holy Spirit works according to God's word, so the evil spirits   
   work by their false doctrines. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,   
   but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the   
   darkness   
   of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Eph. 6:10-18.   
      
   The Pentecostal churches are founded on a false doctrine about the Assembly   
   of God, and the Holy Spirit cannot correct himself after a false doctrine,   
   and give his blessing to an activity that is built up on this false   
   doctrine.   
   If the revival preachers had studied what the Bible teaches about the   
   Assembly of God and corrected themselves according to the Bible's word,   
   then the revival had continued, and yet more people had become saved.   
   This church system that is called the Pentecostal Movement has caused   
   that many people gone eternally lost, entirely unnecessary.   
      
   In 2 Cor. 5:10 we can read, "For we must all appear before the judgment   
   seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body,   
   according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." Those that   
   have appeared as preachers and bible teacher and overseers must give an   
   answer before the Lord for how they have preached and taught in God's   
   word. How much solicitude about the Assembly of God have they shown?   
   How much of the false assembly doctrine of churches and the denominations   
   have they exposed? How many members have they helped to come free   
   from the denominations, the Pentecostal Movement and churches?   
      
   It is now high time for all pentecostal preachers and denomination preachers   
   and maranatha preachers to humble themselves before God's word, and   
   confess that they have had an incorrect doctrine about the Assembly of God   
   all the time, and an incorrect doctrine about the baptism in the Holy   
   Spirit.   
   They must correct their preaching so that it agrees with God's word.   
      
   They will get their wages of the Lord in the extent they have served him,   
   but that they have served a church or a denomination is none merit. This is   
   something that they must be ashamed for and feel shame for. They cannot   
   take the church or the denomination to heaven. Churches or denominations   
   can never convert and become saved, for they have none share in Jesus'   
   propitiatory sacrifice on the cross. When Jesus died on the cross, he   
   prepared a living way to God for people, but not for churches and organized   
   movements. Hebr. 10:19-22.   
      
   The Pentecostal Movement has named their churches the "Assembly of   
   God", but when we read the Bible we see that the Body of Christ is a   
   living organism. It is an essential difference between an organized church   
   system and an organism. "The Assembly of God" ought to stand for "the   
   Body of Christ". To come into the Body of Christ we must be born again.   
   A membership card in a Pentecostal church is no proof that the member   
   is saved.   
      
   Someone perhaps thinks that I write too much about the Pentecostal   
   Movement and about churches and denominations. But it is vital to all   
   God's people to get elucidate on this. When Jesus comes, then all God's   
   people must have come out of the great Babylon. Those that hate the   
   knowledge of the Assembly of God, they become left in churches and   
   the denominations, and they will get their share of the plagues of the   
   great harlot. Rev. 18:4.
