We love truth around here even if it hurts, even if it is contrary to our opinions and traditions. As a result, some of what you read here may at first hurt your eyes and mind. We don’t do that intentionally. Light simply hurts minds and hearts that have lived in the darkness of ignorance, superstitions, traditions of men and propaganda too long. If you learn to love truth, the glorious light will come in and literally change the world all around you. Love, joy and peace to you…
Joh 5:29 …”and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment. ”
I know what that “judgement” is….it is the judgment: “I FORGIVE YOU!”
That is what He said to me…that is what He will say because He does NOT change.

The Power in what we believe ““ The Real Measure of Faith
Every mis-judgment leads to guilt, to a sentence, to condemnation.
An un-just conviction uses the law to enslave.
A correct judgment leads to conviction, but then, to freedom.
A just conviction has the power of the law behind it to set free.
The first is a conviction, is convinced in the power of guilt, the second is a conviction, is convinced in the power of innocence. The first uses the law to exalt self, is the fullfillment of the law in the hands of man. The second is the fullfillment of the law, the law in the hands of God.
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, faith is the CONVICTION of things not seen “¦for by it the elders obtained a good report.”
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to EVERY MAN the measure of faith.”
We have completely misused faith in the church ~ we believe, not in our ability, but in His flawless judgments, we believe in freedom ““ the potential of his perfect law FULLFILLED ““ to set free

Gee, what God is going to do in the future or what He does on the other side of the grave now, is a BIG question. And most people who try to answer that usually have to eat their own words. The Holy Spirit is not some kind of agency that has a use in one dispensation and not in another. God IS Spirit. I don’t think the Holy Spirit changes. However, God has a plan to bring all who died in Adam into Christ. And it seems He is using different dispensations, different ages to bring that about. And in each age or dispensation He seems to be featuring something that we should learn about. We live or have lived in an age in which we have received here on earth a “downpayment” of the Holy Spirit. We have received gifts of the Holy Spirit and gifts of men/women. And there is the issue of bearing the “fruit of the Spirit” and producing something that remains forever. There is the trial of our faith, something precious to God which I don’t fully understand. I am hungry for God and thirst for His righteousness. Will the body of Christ receive more of God’s power and authority in an age to come? I don’t know. But I do know that He is turning all things to the good for God is good. I think it’s more important to be about our Father’s business WHILE WE ARE HERE ON EARTH, than to spend a lot of time wondering what future ages hold. SEEK first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things will be added on to you. Peace, Gary
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit as convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment to come? If so, how does this relate to people being saved in the future…especially because that is the Holy Spirit’s role now in this age…what will be his role in the future, especially if people are not Holy Spirit born again, though being drawn but not accepting of that drawing? Is there a power greater in the future? Or, is the Holy Spirit’s job to only draw those whom God says to at this day and age?I’ve read that if Holy Spirit is unable to draw men now, no greater power can be enforced…what’s your view or understanding in this matter?
Just came across your sites. I am glad you are teaching that Jesus Christ is taking everyone to heaven.
