ANTICHRIST OR CHRIST WITHIN THE SPIRIT OF MAN? |
|
Free Church: The Apostolic Church is completely free-standing and have none communion with the ecumenical churches. Neither has it none communion with the other worldy-minded sects and church-communions because the Word of God is declaring regarding them: "You false, unfaithful creatures! Have you never learned that love of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be the world's friend makes himself God's enemy." James 4:4. The message of the Apostolic Church is a spiritually message entirely according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Prophetic Word of God. The history confirms that Jesus Christ founded the Apostolic Church in 33 on Pentecost-day. The Church that Jesus Christ himself has created through His achievement on Golgotha, is not built of stone or wood. Stephen who spoke of the spiritual temple of Christ, was stoned to death by the chief priests and the scribes, because he was preaching: "the Most High does not live in houses made by men." Acts 7:48, 59. |

The same ignorance and spiritual blindness which the chief priests and the scribes were possessed of, the same ignorance and spiritual blindness is still existing in these days after 2000 years. In conflict with the message of the Holy Spirit, many religious and confessing christians are declaring the churches and the chapel of today, which are built of stone and wood, being the houses of God. |

The same error of the devil with disobedience and refractoriness towards the Word of God had also slipped into the congregation in Corinth and Paul writes in his letter to the Corinthians: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Cor. 3:16. The devil has at all times done his utmost to make men deny the spiritual tempel of Jesus Christ because it has to do with SANCTIFICATION. Many people have asked me the difference between churches made of stone and wood and the spiritual tempel of Christ? The word of God answers: "But Solomon built Him an house." Acts 7:47. That is, the church that Solomon was building for God was inside decorated with finest Gold and Silver and the hole temple was shining of these earthly valuable jewelry. But these valuable jewelry made by finest Gold and Silver were an example and a symbol of how the sanctified spirit within men should be adorned in the New Testament. The saved and the sanctified ones were to be adorned with the eternal Love of God, The Purity, The Righteousness, The Gratitude, The Humbleness, The Grace, The Mercy, The Peace, The Joy of God, and so on. In The Apostolic Church Jesus Christ and The Holy Word of God is the most superior, the most valuable and finest. The Bible teaches that in The Apostolic Church the sanctified ones will shine as lights of heaven in this world full of darkness. The membership of The Apostolic Church is according to the word of God combined with SALVATION and SANCTIFICATION, where the sanctified are able to declare towards each other and towards their heavenly Father, just like Paul was able to declare: "The life I now live is not my life, but the life which Christ lives in me."Gal. 2:20. The Holy Church, which Jesus Christ founded within the spirit of the sanctified men in the year 33 on Pentecost-day was meant to be a pure and holy church according to the Gospel of Christ. And the word of God says concerning the holy temple within the spirit of the sanctified men: "For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth and rejects despiseth and rejects not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit." 1 Thess. 4:7-8. The entire Gospel of Christ involves the fact that Jesus Christ is living within the spirit of men by faith. Paul writes to the ephesians: "That Christ may dwell in your spirit by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love." Eph. 3:17. Many members of the ecumenical churches are declaring, in conflict with the Holy Word of God, that you may participate in ecumenicalism even though they witness how the worldly find its way into different churches and how it is spreading out. And in the Name of Jesus they are blessing homos and Lesbians and are declaring that this is the work of God, when in fact it's the works of the devil. Rom 1:21-28, 32. And so say the Holy Word of God: "The man who sins is a child of the devil, for the devil has been a sinner from the first; and the Son of God appeared for the very purpose of undoing the devil's work." 1 John 3:8-9. The history tells us that the largest tragedy that ever occured in the christian assemblage was not persecution from worldly people but treachery from the lukewarm christians of the church and false friends. A backsliding from the truth is never a sudden divergence. No, one small compromise leads to another. One small unimportant divergence from the truth and it will get you on the wrong road concerning the truth, and this in turn leads to a labyrinth of false prejudices notions that take us away from God. One small lie and one small incorrect thought no matter how small, never harmonizes with the truth but it belongs to the devil and antichrist. The Spirit of Truth teach us concerning the Temple of the New Testament, that the word of God explains it with these word of Jesus Christ: "It is accomplished!", it means: the sacrificial service of the Old Testament was over. The priests would no more officiate in an worldly temple because Jesus Christ now became a priest in the new time of reformation in the spirit of the sanctified man. The Levitical priesthood was over. John 19:30. The Christian sanctuary service is a holy spiritual principal point in the christian teaching. The word of God plainly teach us that Jesus Christ is the chief priest in the spirit of the sanctified man. He is an eternal true servant of the spiritual sanctuary, which our heavenly Father has made through Jesus Christ and not through any human being. Hebr. 8:1-2. In several Bibletexts you see how God and Christ were supposed to live in the spirit of man by faith.To the Corinthians Paul writes: "Surely you know that you are God's temple, where the Spirit of God dwells." 1 Cor. 3:16. Paul also witness in his letter to the Galatians of Jesus Christ as a chief priest of the spiritual temple: "The life I now live is not my life, but the life which Christ lives in me." Gal. 2:20. In this spiritual temple, which is the spirit of the sanctified man, Jesus Christ is working through the spiritually varieties of gifts. He is working trough The Spirit of Love, Truth, Purity, Righteousness, Humbleness, Gratitude, Gentleness, Prayer, Faith, Peace and Joy and so on. The Bible also says that if any human being, for example a priest, a preacher or a confessing christian is mixing the worldly and the ungodly and rejects the Truth and trample under foot the holy Gospel of Jesus Christ and the holy Work of Jesus Christ on Golgotha, that man is of antichrist according to the holy Word of God. She is not from God but she show through her talk and her deeds that she is from the devil. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ Himself is behind The Apostolic Church, that He founded in 33 on Pentecost-day . This church is His own holy creation. It is also mentioned in the Bible as THE BRIDE of Christ. To mention some of the members of this church : Peter, James, John, Paul and so on. It means that those who are sanctified through Jesus Christ during different periods of time in the past, belong to the same spiritual church as the apostles, because Christ has only one BRIDE. There are many who through all times have been searching for the spiritual temple of Jesus Christ but they have not understand these word of Jesus: "...the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21. They have not understand these word of God: "Surely you know that you are God's temple, where the Spirit of God dwells." 1 Cor. 3:16. The history shows, that people in their spiritual blindness and selfishness instead have created new churches and religious movements and by doing so, the devil has succeed to create conflicts and variance between people in the name of God and Jesus Christ and they are still in conflict with each other regarding who is right or who is wrong. But our heavenly Father does not want anything higher for us who confess ourselfes as christians than our turning back to the Apostolic Church, that church which Jesus Christ founded in 33 on Pentecost-day. You who are reading this, listen to Jesus' prayer to the Father: "I pray, may they all be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, so also may they be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me. The glory which thou gavest me I have given to them, that they may be one, as we are one;" John 17:21-22. The devil has at all times tried to change the holy word of God. For example in the ecumenicalism they declare in contradiction to the word of God, that Jesus was praying that they may BECOME one. But it doesn't say in any Bibletext, that they may BECOME one, but they may BE one. Because the ecumenical churches have misrepresent the Bibletext, mentioned above, they have at the same time admitted that they have no fellowship with the HOLY SPIRIT and with GOD and with JESUS CHRIST in their preaching and their work, since they mean that Jesus is praying that they may BECOME something which they ARE NOT NOW, that is: to BE ONE with God and Jesus Christ. The Bible expresses this truth, concerning the spiritual work, with this testimony of Jesus: "...for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5. Those who have the Spirit of Truth alive within their spirit know without any hesitation, that the prayer of Jesus was not a prayer for the lukewarm churches of antichrist, sects and religious communions where they in their unpurity and ungodliness declaim themselves being able to become one with Christ and at the same time they bless homos and Lesbians. No, the prayer of Jesus is only meant for the sanctified men in Christ. The word of God clearly says that light is inconsistent with darkness. 2 Cor. 6:14-18, 7:1. Many people in the religion and Christianity have in many ways tried to become something and that is why they never have been able to experience Jesus Christ living within their spirit. They have not and do not understand the word of God, that exhorts us to BECOME NOTHING in ourselves. When the teaching of the present lukewarm ecumenicalism is based on BECOMING SOMETHING and to become one with Jesus Christ, is this just like the darkness was asking to become one with the light. In a parable Jesus was talking of the death of the old human nature and he took a grain of wheat as an example and said: "In truth, in very truth I tell you, a grain of wheat remains a solitary grain unless it falls into the ground and dies; but if it dies, it bears a rich harvest." John 12:24. Jesus clearly enlightens us that the grain of wheat must become nothing before the new life may be born. Paul had received grace through the holy Spirit, to understand the valuable message of Jesus to be nothing in himself and he says: "The life I now live is not my life, but the life which Christ lives in me." Gal. 2:20. This Bibletext shows when the old human nature of Paul was dead and Paul had become nothing in himself, he was able to experience the Divine miracle to BE ONE with Jesus Christ and with our heavenly Father according to the high-priestly prayer of Jesus. John 17:21. If you belong to the ecumenical churches and confess yourself as a christian, are you able to find anything on this homepage, that is against the Holy word of God and against the Gospel of Jesus Christ? If so, I would like you to explain to me, with the word of God as the basis, before our heavenly Father and before Jesus Christ, what is false in this message. I am praying to our heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ that He might bless each one of you who is reading this message, that You might receive God's grace to understand the seriousness in this holy message before it is to late. I will also like to refer especially to the homepage: "The message of the Cross!" Click here! Greetings of peace Street-missionary Bror Espegren Go back to the first page. Click here. © copyright |
