                    The truth about the Assembly of God   
      
   Everywhere in Christians meetings, books, magazines and websites it   
   is a teaching that always lacks - Teaching about the Assembly of God.   
   Why is it so silent about this? Teaching about the Assembly of God   
   must belong to each preacher's duty. Now, before Jesus comes, the   
   truth about the Assembly of God must be preached.   
      
   The truth about the Assembly of God is so big and wide, so it is not   
   possible to explain it on a few pages, it needs a whole website. Many   
   bible words about the Assembly of God have become misinterpreted   
   and used on a wrong way in churches and denominations. What the   
   Bible teaches about the Assembly of God they have applied on   
   churches and free churches although the Bible does not mention a   
   word about churches. Therefore, if we use these bible words on a   
   correct way, then people do not realize what we mean, if we do not   
   also expose and rebuke the churches' translation errors and distortions.   
      
   The translation KJ3 is better in this reference. There it is written   
   assembly instead of church.   
      
   Both Pentecostal churches and Baptist churches are established in   
   conjunction with a powerful revival from God. But the establishment   
   of churches was not from God. Can you find a sole place in the Bible   
   where it says that they established an Assembly of God through to   
   organize an association movement?   
      
   Is it written anywhere in the Bible that they in a meeting made a   
   decision about membership in the Assembly of God, and gave   
   membership cards to the members? A free church or any pastor is not   
   needed to make decision about membership in the Assembly of God.   
   Heaven's God has made this decision a long time ago, already before   
   he created the world. Eph. 1:3-14.   
      
   A short time after the establishment of Pentecostal churches the revival   
   began to stagnate, and after some years the revival takes an end. Why   
   did the Pentecostal revival take an end? It was because they built their   
   activity on a false doctrine about the Assembly of God. For 90 years   
   the Pentecostal preachers have continued to preach and practise a false   
   doctrine about the Assembly of God, and the Baptist preachers yet   
   longer. And the truth of the baptism by the Holy Spirit they understand   
   only partly.   
      
   How did the free churches become founded? Was there any support in   
   the Bible for such an establishment of churches? Can you find a place   
   in the Bible where it says that they had several different assemblies of   
   God on the same location, with different ideas and rules for the   
   assembly?   
      
   The dividing of the Christians in many churches and denomination   
   has not been to any advantage for salvation of souls. On the contrary,   
   it has been to hinder for people to come to believe in Jesus. Of this we   
   must understand that this dividing is not a work of God. Has the God   
   of peace shattered the Assembly, the Body of Christ? No, this dividing   
   is a work of false doctrines and of evil spiritual powers.   
      
   Free church preachers and other members have yet not understood the   
   relation between the establishment of churches and retrogression of the   
   revival. It is through the churches' false doctrine of assembly that the   
   devil has been able to destroy the one the revival after the other.   
      
   In the powerful revival in the beginning on 1900s they made a fateful   
   mistake. They began to lay the foundation to a new church system,   
   and this caused that the revival took an end. Instead for establishing   
   their own assemblies, they ought to study what the Bible teaches about   
   the Assembly of God, and exposed all churches and denominations,   
   and preached the truth about the Assembly of God.   
      
   It says in Rev. 18:2 about the great Babylon that it has become a   
   dwelling place of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a   
   prison of every unclean bird. These evil and unclean spirits are also   
   in the free churches, for they belong to the great Babylon. These   
   spiritual powers did infiltrate the free churches' assemblies already   
   from the beginning when they were founded. The evil spiritual powers   
   not only infiltrated the free churches. They also helped to establish   
   these assemblies. They are founded and built up on a false doctrine   
   about the Assembly of God.   
      
   Churches and denominations use lie and half truths and do not want   
   that us Christians shall know the truth about the Assembly of God.   
   Year after year they are busy to preach and practise an incorrect   
   doctrine about the Assembly of God, and an incorrect doctrine about   
   the baptism in the Holy Spirit. When anyone becomes saved and   
   baptized, then he at once becomes involved as a member in a free   
   church, but he gets no information about in what he has been a member.   
   And if anyone wants withdrawal to move to another place, or want to   
   move to another church, then his name becomes not removed in the   
   member list before they received affirmation from the other church   
   that he is accepted as a member there. On this way the churches and   
   denominations have control so that no members can roam freely.   
      
   According to the doctrine of the free churches it is obviously that you   
   as a Christian shall belong to an assembly. But if they with the word   
   "assembly" mean a free church, then it is wrong, for the Bible mention   
   not a word about such assemblies. Being a member in a free church   
   is equally unbiblical as the so-called infant baptism.   
   The Assembly of God is the Body of Christ, and us that believe in   
   Jesus and are born again, we are limbs in this body. You do not need   
   to apply for membership in any free church for become a member in   
   the Assembly of God. And you cannot by people become chose to a   
   member in the Assembly of God.   
      
   There is no free church or pastor, or any priest in the Church that is   
   able to expel anyone from the Assembly of God. God has never given   
   such a power or authority to choose in, or expel anyone out of the   
   Assembly of God. Not even to any angel God has given such authority.   
   God Father has reserved this authority for himself. Thank God for that!   
   It is He that sets in the limbs in the Body of Christ. "But now God set   
   the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He willed."   
   1 Cor. 12:18. Jesus says in John 6:44, "No one is able to come to Me   
   if not the Father, the One having sent Me, draws him, and I will raise   
   him up in the last day."   
      
   The Father is also the Vinedresser. John 15:1-7. Rom. 11:17-22. It is   
   He that takes away the useless branches that do not bear fruit. In the   
   Assembly of God it is the Father himself that does both takes in and   
   expel members.   
      
   For also we all were baptized into one Spirit into one body, whether   
   Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, even all were given to drink   
   into one Spirit, 1 Cor. 12:13, 31, also those who do not speak in   
   tongues. It is when Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Spirit that we receive
