           Not all Belief is Genuine and leads to Eternal Life   
      
   For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,   
   that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have   
   everlasting life. John 3:16.   
      
   Yet, not all belief is genuine and leads to salvation. We can read   
   in John 8:31-34. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed   
   on him, if ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed;   
   And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.   
   They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in   
   bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?   
   Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever   
   committeth sin is the servant of sin." In the verses 35 - 59 we   
   can see how their belief was. Jesus said that the devil was their   
   father, and they said that Jesus had a devil.   
      
   When Jesus was riding into Jerusalem, the people shouted,   
   "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the   
   name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest! " Matt.21:9. But later   
   the same crowd who had honoured him, they shouted now,   
   "Let him be crucified." Matt. 27:20-25.   
      
   Sometimes we hear or read that so and so many people have been   
   saved on this or that place. Then we must put this question: How   
   many of these, who have come to believe in Jesus, have really   
   been born again? Don't forget the parable of the Sower, in Matt.   
   13:3-23. How many people are like the good ground, and how   
   many are like the stony places, and how many people let the   
   thorns choke God's word? The two latest mentioned categories   
   are certainly included when you count over how many saved.   
      
   How many of these, who have come to believe in Jesus, will be   
   captured of churches and denominations, and become ensnared in   
   their church traditions and denomination doctrines? The most usual   
   reason that Christians fall away from the Lord, is that they follow   
   false doctrines, which lead away from the sincere faithfulness to   
   the Lord. They have a fancy to doctrines of denominations and   
   church traditions, and these have been more important to them   
   than the Bible. They are religious backsliders that mean they are   
   Christians, but the churches are their idols.   
      
   Those new believers that become entangled in churches and   
   denominations, they are registered in something that they don't   
   know what it is. Instead of getting teaching about the Assembly   
   of God, it is pouted in their head that the church is the assembly   
   of God, and that they cannot be kept in the faith without the   
   church.   
      
   Knowledge about the Assembly of God is vital to new saved   
   Christians. In the churches and denominations they get no teaching   
   about the Assembly of God, and they get no knowledge about what   
   the churches and denominations are. The preachers do quite contrary   
   to God's word. Instead of teaching the new saved about the Assembly   
   of God, they are eager to get them as members in their own church,   
   their own denomination. Gal. 4:17.   
      
   The new saved Christians cannot decline the membership because they   
   know nothing about the Assembly of God. They trust in the pastor and   
   older members that they know how it must be. In that way the members   
   are keeping down in ignorance. They get no knowledge about the   
   Assembly of God, neither in what they are members.   
      
   Old preachers who have had meetings and were preaching for many years,   
   in such preachers the new saved trust. A new saved Christian sitting in a   
   meeting and listen to a sermon, he cannot know that the preacher on the   
   pulpit knows almost nothing about the Assembly of God. He himself is a   
   member in a religious association, which he thinks is an Assembly of God,   
   and he preaches this false doctrine.   
      
   The churches and denominations have censured away the truth of the   
   Assembly of God. When this truth becomes known, it will demolish all   
   churches, denominations and religious sects. They will lose the control   
   of their members.   
      
   In the churches and denominations is a continuing mystery-making about   
   the Assembly of God. There are thousands of pastors and preachers. They   
   appear as bible teachers and overseers, but not bother about to teach about   
   the Assembly of God. James 3:1.
