BOOK 69 BOOK REVIEW

After reading this Book, I came to lean and understand that, the faith of the blood of the cross of Jesus Christ on the cross only was created as a result of the Nicene Creed that was enacted by the Roman empire under the reign of the Emperor Constantine in AD 381 in trying to resolve the theological confusion and controversies the Church faced at that time concerning the essence of Jesus Christ and the divinity of the Holy spirit. And also to enable all the Churches through out the entire Roman empire to stand under the same faith, and it was not for them to believe the true faith testified to by the Bible. Instead, they utilized the creation of the Nicene Creed to bind together the pagans who came from various religions and cultures, and served different gods where they came from, under a single system of faith which was not a doctrine based on the sacrificial system that God established in the Old Testament time. And instead, they created a new religion called the Roman Catholic church in this World. And through that religion, they established a foundation upon which they could enjoy their own power, wealth and glory.In doing so, they changed the Old Testament sacrificial system that God had instituted for the removal of mankind's sins, and reigned over many people, while the Nicene Creed and their seven sacraments created by the Catholics had no connection what soever to the truth testified to by the Bible, that is, the gospel of the water and the spirit in which our Lord and savior Jesus Christ took upon Himself and washed away the sin of the world by being baptized by John the Baptist in River Jordan. They created a faith of the the blood of the cross and resurrection only, a faith which is completely unrelated to the biblical truth, and as a result, they could only remain in a religious state of life where they could not receive the washing away of sin from God.They removed and silenced the ministry of truth in which our Lord Jesus Christ had the sin of the world transferred upon Him and washed it away when He was baptized by John the Baptist in River Jordan. By doing so, they seized and controlled People's souls and placed it in the name of the gospel.Therefore, themselves and their followers remain guilt and sinners because, they left the starting point for mankind's salvation, which is the baptism of Jesus Christ by John on which mankind's sins were transferred upon Jesus, and believe only in the blood of the cross, which is the panishment for the sins Jesus took through His baptism by John in River Jordan.For this reason, their creation of a new religion was not for the purpose of preaching the gospel of truth, but was nothing more than a means to fulfill their own canal desires and authority. Now, as a result of this wrong path they took, it has even become more and more difficult for them and their followers to meet our Lord Jesus Christ and find their salvation.This Nicene Creed which they have made only tell us who our Lord Jesus Christ is, and it is silent on how our Lord took on the sin of the world. It lamentably failed to explain the core structure of mankind's salvation, and instead, it left a vacuum. And because of this vacuum, the gospel drifted in another direction of the blood of the cross only, an understanding of atonement without the single, connected and complete flow of salvation.As a result of this, repetitive repentance, and consciousness of incomplete salvation came and occupied that vacuum and the center faith. They forgot that, in this type of faith, there's no remission of sin, and not even in being zealous, prayers and fasting nor certain experiences which they preach and believe in.They do not realize that the remission of sin comes only when one believes in the already completed and fulfilled Word of God; the gospel of the water and the spirit, through Jesus baptism by John the Baptist in River Jordan, His blood and resurrection, and imidiately receives the indwelling of the Holy spirit from God. And then, the believer starts to have the fellowship with God, and the communion of the Holy spirit.Like this, receiving the indwelling of the Holy spirit is not a gradual journey which takes place with the flamwork of man made sacraments, and it's not by laying on of hands, confirmation nor any other ways as this false preachers practice and preach, But it's through believing the gospel of the water and the spirit fulfilled by our Lord Jesus Christ through His baptism by John, the blood of the cross and His resurrection. And if one believes in this truth, imidiately receives the indwelling of the Holy spirit from God as a gift as Acts 2:38 says.Therefore, this gospel of truth, the gospel of the water and the spirit preaches by the true servant of God Rev Paul C Jong and the true Church of God, is the only true gospel of the remission of sin because, it is a connected and complete single flow of salvation which starts with the starting point of Jesus baptism by John for transfer of sin from mankind to Jesus, His death on the cross to pay the price for the sins and His resurrection as the completion of our salvation, and the new life He has given us. Therefore , for us who believe is this gospel of truth, we have now been given the true heart, for we have the full assurance of faith even as we draw near to God our Father, as Hebrews 10:22 says because, our bodies has been washed with pure water, which is the baptism of Jesus, and our hearts has been sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ, unlike the half gospel of the blood of Jesus and His resurrection only, which is disjointed and can not remitte people's sins for it lacks the starting point of salvation; the transfer of sins which is the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan which washes away all people's sins.They forget that just as the sins of the children of Israel were being remitted away in a connected and complete single flow of events, even on the day of atonement, where two unblemished sacrificial animals were brought before the Lord, one is the escape goat and the other a burnt offering, the laying on of hands of the high priest on the sacrificial animals to transfer the sins of the Israelites and the release of escape goat into the wilderness and also the burning of the burnt offering as Leviticus 16 : 20-22 says. In the same way, the salvation which we have received in this New Testament time, is in a connected and complete single flow of events, where our God has given us Jesus Christ as someone without sin as the Lamb of God, as John 1:29 says, Hi baptism by John the Baptist in River Jordan, Matthew 3:13-17 and the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ and crusifying Him on the cross, is the same and one with the Old Testament sacrificial system.Only that, one is the shadow and the other is a substance as Hebrews 10:1 says.The unblemished sacrificial animal and Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is the same and one. The laying on of hands of the high priest on the unblemished sacrificial animal and the baptism of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God by John the Baptist, is one and the same. And the shedding of the blood of the unblemished sacrificial animal and the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is one and the same. And also, the burning of the unblemished sacrificial animal on the alter of burnt offering, and the crusifying of Jesus Christ on the cross is one and the same.Therefore, all mankind must abandone the shadow and believe in the substance that is, this beautiful gospel of salvation; the gospel of the water and the spirit preaches by the servant of God, of this last days for the remission of their sins once and for all because, we can even see for ourselves that, this gospel is the gospel of truth testified to by both the Old and New Testaments.Therefore, looking at the two types of gospels above, we can see that the Nicene Creed type of faith, of the blood of the cross only has no power at all to remitte people's sins because, it lacks the link to the salvation; the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan, and only has the blood of the cross only, and it can not be connected to the Old Testament time In their case.Therefore, their sins hasn't been yet transferred upon Jesus Christ and as a result, they are still sinners and they will remain sinners not until they realize that their faith is fault, come out of the Nicene Creed and believe in this true gospel of the water and the spirit preaches by Rev Paul C Jong and the true Church of God, the gospel in which we believe us also believe in, for the remission of their sins, become children of God and enter into the kingdom of God and live eternally together with us. If they do so, their consciences will be washed clean just like we are, and also their identity will be changed from that of sinners to that of the righteous just like us. And this will become the reality of their salvation just as it is to us, only if they turn around truthfully with their hearts.This gospel of the water and the spirit we believe in is that, the sins of the mankind was passed over to the Lamb of God as John 1:29 says, through the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan, Matthew 3:13-17 and the paying of it's price on the cross by shedding of His blood, dying on the cross and His resurrection.Our Lord Jesus Christ did not just die and shed His blood on the cross only, nor was He only Baptist to give us the complete and true salvation, but He came and did both; the water of His baptism to receive the transference of our sin and the blood of the cross to pay the price for the sins just as the apostle John is testifying here in 1 John 5:6-8.Therefore, when we believe in our Lord Jesus Christ who came with both, the water and the blood like this, we will realize that, our repentance do not come as a condition to obtain our salvation but as a fruit of life acknowled within the already received salvation.Therefore, when we believe in this beautiful gospel and become born again, we come to have inside us the fruit of faith, boldness, assurance, freedom and gratitude because, we no longer believe in the faith of the Nicene Creed, the blood and His resurrection only, but we are the believers of the gospel of the water and the spirit, the baptism and the blood of Jesus as one, connected and complete single flow of salvation testified to by the Bible.Having been saved like this, we no longer drive ourselves to obtain the removal of our sins as we used to do by offering repetitive repentance prayers when we had the faith of the blood of the cross only, but we just come to stand before our God as the ones whose sins has already been removed by the event that took place when our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist in River Jordan. Therefore, we are without sin because, all our sins were transferred to Jesus Christ the Lamb of God through this water of River Jordan and He paid the full price of sin by shedding of His blood on cross and made us sinless.The gospel of the blood of the cross only can not remitte people's sins nor give any one the assurance of being free from sin and hell fire because, it lacks the core of salvation, which is, the transfer of sin upon Jesus Christ. Therefore, unless these believers of the faith of the Nicene Creed of the blood of the cross only realize and return to the beginning of salvation, to the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan and believe in both events, the baptism and the blood of the cross, they can not and will not find the true remission of sin. And therefore, they will remain sinners, guilt and always trying to remove their sins on their own by offering repetitive repentance prayers which can not clean their hearts and make them free from sin.This people do not know that, they are being tracked down to hell by their false preachers of the blood of the cross only, who deliberately abandoned the event which took place before the event of shedding of blood. They are blind guides who try to lead their fellow blind followers.And also they do not know that, the remission of sin can only be obtained through believing in the complete and connected single flow of events, the method of salvation our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled together with John the Baptist in River Jordan of transfer of sin through the baptism.Therefore, our faith and the faith of the disciples of Jesus Christ, and that of the early Church saints must be the same just as written in Matthew 3:13-17, 1 Peter 3:21, 1 John 5:6-8.For this reason, if your faith, the faith of the disciples of Jesus Chrit and that of the early Church saints are not in agreement, but you call yourself a Christian, then you must know that you believe in the wrong faith of the Nicene Creed preached by the false preachers.You must return to the beginning, the baptism of Jesus for transfer of your sins upon Jesus Christ and His blood on the cross for the payment of your sins.This is the gospel of the water and the spirit which even our Lord Jesus Christ Himself preached to Nicodemus in John 3:1-5, and this gospel is more than enough to save us all, and all mankind from sin.Even if some of the false gospel preachers like Martin Luther managed to restore the authority of the Bible and proclaimed the truth that, salvation is not achieved by human works, but by faith and grace after they ran away from the Roman Catholic's faith, but even them just remained within the gospel of the Nicene Creed of the blood of the cross only. They did not believe nor preach this gospel of salvation, the gospel of the water and the spirit. And instead, they only proclaimed Jesus' cross and abandoned the gospel of the water and the spirit and only ended up establishing their own man made gospel which is incomplete, the gospel of the blood of the cross only and turned away from the gospel of salvation, just as the apostle Paul is saying in Galatians 1:6-9. Forgetting that there's no any other gospel apart from the gospel of the water and the spirit, this reformer without realizing, entangled themselves into the same web of believing in the blood of the cross only which came up as a result of the Nicene Creed created by the Roman empiror Constantine who only wanted the Roman citizens to be united under the same religion and not to fight one another, but live together as one community.And they had no interest at all in the gospel of the water and the spirit, Instead, their goal was to have a religion system which can protect their political compromise and their needs for power over the essence of being born again. Like this, they made Christians Los their freedom to believe in the pure gospel of the water and the spirit, and made them bound to an institution called Catholic religion which is alined with political power.Therefore, because of their belief in this wrong faith, they ended up remaining christian sinners for they only believe in the result, taking on of sin on the cross while leaving out the the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan.As a result of the creation of this wrong faith of the Nicene Creed and the blood of the cross only, the complete link of the gospel of the water and the spirit, the baptism of Jesus, the cross and His resurrection as a complete and connected single flow of faith was brocken. Hence they adopted this doctrine system of the cross and resurrection only, which is not a complete gospel.No wonder the believers of this kind of faith remain in repetitive prayers of repentance which can not set them free from sin. Making it even more surprising, even all the protestants has joined the Catholicsm and proclaim the same incomplete gospel of the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection only leaving out His baptism. Therefore, they all remain Christian sinners who are committing the sin of disregarding the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ by not believing in this gospel of truth, the gospel of the water and the spirit. And they will not escape hell if they will not turn around and believe in the truth of His baptism, the blood and His resurrection as a connected and complete single flow of faith that grants salvation from sin.Therefore, this false preachers of the blood of the cross only and their followers even today end up living as fools who believe in Jesus as their savior, yet have not had their sins washed away by believing in both, the baptism of Jesus and His blood as one. Instead, they only proclaim half of the gospel of the blood and resurrection only leaving out the baptism of Jesus in which John the Baptist transferred the sin of the world upon Jesus on River Jordan. Since the gospel is precisely the events of Jesus Christ being baptized to bear our sins, dying on the cross and rising again from the dead as the Bible testies to like this,for the believers of the Nicene Creed to be saved, they must abandone their half gospel of the cross only and return to the truth of the biblical gospel of truth of the baptism of Jesus by John as the transfer of mankind's sin, His death on the cross as the payment for the weges of sin and His resurrection in order for them to be saved from sin.This false preachers even miss lead their followers that, they are the ones who has the power to forgive people's sins and that, through their institution can they receive the indwelling of the Holy spirit by declaration or through confirmation and experience. They forget that, the power to remitte people's sins has been given to true servants of God who preach the gospel truth of water and the spirit just as it was given to the apostles and are the ones who has the power to remitte people's sins through preaching of this beautiful gospel of salvation. And when one believes in the gospel of the water and the spirit which we preach, imidiately receives the indwelling of the Holy spirit as a gift from God. Acts 2:38. And not in the false gospel of the blood only of the Nicene Creed, can people receive salvation, nor through declaration neither authority of the Church can they receive the indwelling of the spirit.Therefore, only us the believers of the true gospel, the baptism of Jesus Christ and His blood on the cross has the power to remitte people's sins through preaching of this beautiful gospel of the water and the spirit. And when one believes in this gospel of salvation, the gospel of the water and the spirit that we preach, imidiately receives the indwelling of the Holy spirit, and leads one to a real and practical faith that proclaims the gospel of the water and the spirit and lives in the Holy spirit. It can not be achieved trough the man made faith like that of the Nicene Creed or anything else, but it's when one believes in the already completed Word of the gospel of the water and the spirit by our Lord Jesus Christ through His baptism, His blood and resurrection.For us who has already received the blessing of being born again, becoming children of God and entering into the kingdom of God through believing in this beautiful gospel of the water and the spirit, we have the true rest from sin, unshakeable assured of our salvation and eternal life. And we no longer have any consciousness of sin because, we believe in the connected and complete single flow of salvation, the gospel of the water and the spirit the Bible testifies to. And therefore, for us repentance is just a language that flows from within a relationship with God, and faith is our resting place.Therefore, just as we have been transformed by our Lord through our faith in this wonderful gospel, which is the gospel of the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in River Jordan, the blood of the cross and His resurrection from the dead, even those who still believe in the half gospel of the Nicene Creed, the blood of the cross only, can also be transformed and become sinless only if they realize and acknowledge that their faith of the Nicene Creed is wrong for it lacks the baptism of Jesus by John for transference of their sins, turn to the gospel of the water and the spirit, and believe in this beautiful gospel with their hearts like we did, and they can also be saved from sin. They must abandone their false gospel and accept only the gospel of the baptism of Jesus, His blood on the cross and His resurrection for their remission of sin and become sinless, children of God and enter into the kingdom of God, and live with us as one family with God our Father. I really thank God for saving me from all my sins through my faith in this connected and complete single flow of faith, the gospel of the water and the spirit.Amen!!Eliot Bwalya, Zambia

REVIEW TITLED; REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS AND BE SAFE, DRAWN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT(JOHN3:5)

REVIEW TITLED; REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS AND BE SAFE, DRAWN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT(JOHN3:5).Greetings to you all in Christ Jesus the only LORD and Savior. Honour and adoration be rendered to Wisdom (The New Life Mission) now and forever more Amen. I share my short review titled REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS AND BE SAFE taken from our newly released Ebook 78 by Rev Paul C Jong. I hope you will all be blessed by the Grace of God. Hallelujah!Through this book, I have learned that, one can never have a complete and pure Joy to rejoice in the Lord if he does not believe in the already completed salvation comprised of both the baptism of Jesus Christ, His death of the Cross and His resurrection. Why so? Because true Joy upon all mankind can only be obtained through the free gift of salvation that God the Father has brought to all mankind through His only begotten Son Jesus so as whoever believes in the name of Jesus which carries His works of His baptism( where He took away all the sins of the world), His death of the Cross(Where He paid for all the wages of sins) and His resurrection(through which newness of life is given to all who believes in this truth) is able to obtain true Joy. Hallelujah! Joy comes upon ones heart because a certain good work has been done upon that heart. For every human heart is born without any pure Joy, but rather, it is corrupted and darkened with sins leading it to hell. Thus God Himself being the true Joy, He had ensured that all sin is erased from every mankind from our fore parents Adam until the last Man to be born on this earth. He has done so only through one Way, one Truth and one Life known as Jesus(Mathews1:21), that is why it is important to believe in this name by knowing what work is contained in the name JESUS. Amen!However, the problem is that, many are still trying to invent there own ways of attaining this true Joy and thought to themselves that they are rejoicing in the Lord through such ways of doing much religious works as taught by the false pastors who only insist them to offer repetitive repentance prayers as the means of been washed from sin, to zealously offer and perform duties of offering material possessions and fasting tirelessly to try to please God as well as holding onto the cross of Jesus on their mouths without its effectiveness in their heart. Yet! All these sacrifices are not in the genuine obedience to God. Neither can such sacrifices produce an eternal joy. Why so? Because it is only fleshly. That is why it is said in Philippians 3, to rejoice in Christ Jesus, and to have no confidence in the flesh. Amen! It is when a heart has been completely erased from all it’s sins then can it obtained joy, for Joy is the fruit of the Holy Spirit who comes to dwell in every heart that believes in both the baptism, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ thus making one to continuously rejoice in the Lord for such excellent work done by LORD alone.Nevertheless, this book has taught me that, a person is only assured safety by holding on to the gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit and daily rejoicing knowing that no more sin is left in the heart of one who has believed in the glorious works of Jesus of both His baptism, death and resurrection, Have the Spirit of God in their hearts, and are able to Worship God Joyfully in truth of water and Spirit, such a heart lives to joyfully rejoice in the Lord for the work the Lord has done. As confirmed in Philippians 3 “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe, Hallelujah! May God bless His Church Coworker Nazir, Zambia

Already Completed Salvation - Romans

Hello, This is a review of the book entitled - Already Completed Salvation - Romans by Rev. Paul C. Jong. As the title suggests, this book draws on the fact that salvation is already complete, yet despite this, so many people are still suffering because of sin and are seeking the assurance of salvation despite holding onto their faith in Jesus. Although there are churches filled with people who have lived a religious life for a long time, they have not fully experienced the power of the already completed gospel of the water and the Spirit. Therefore the commentary in this book seeks to delve into the reason as to why, despite the fact that salvation is already completed, there are those who remain outside of the righteousness of God and it seeks to bring them within the ark of God`s salvation once and for all.This book, "Already Completed Salvation", explores the Apostle Paul`s letters to the believers in Rome. He writes to them as one whose life was transformed by Christ, encouraging the believers to imitate him as one who serves the Lord having been called for that purpose. Throughout the book of Romans, Paul intended to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit to those who were beset by their own righteousness whether Jew or Greek, and to bring them into the righteousness of God proclaiming that the gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for all who believe, and that by no other means, neither by works or repentance prayers are we saved. The author closely follows the teachings of the Apostle Paul, showing us how his words are directly linked to the salvation promised in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament by the baptism of Jesus where He bore our sins His body, His blood on the cross where He atoned for our sins and His resurrection where He gave us the assurance of eternal life (1 John 5:6-8). Like the Apostle Paul, the author implores the reader to abandon their own righteousness and to return to the biblical truth set out in the book of Romans which bears witness to the water, blood and Spirit of Jesus Christ which is the only truth by which one can be delivered from sin and the judgement of God.Further solidifying the already completed salvation, the author reminds us, that the fact that Jesus practically came into this world is the evidence proving that God saved us, not just in words only, but by actually becoming a part of human history and fulfilling the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. The truth of who Jesus was, being God Himself and also coming as the seed of David, and what He accomplished through His baptism, death and resurrection was enough to tear down the legalistic righteousness of the law held by the Jewish nation and the righteousness of philosophy espoused by the Gentiles in Rome, therefore Paul sought earnestly to deliver this good news to the Romans and it is also for our spiritual edification today. That Paul's missionary journey led him to preach to both Jews and Gentiles, serves as reminder that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation for all people despite our differences in religion or nationality. Paul declared to the Romans that all have sinned and all fall short of the glory of God, and this is true for us also in this age. The already completed salvation preached by the Apostle Paul in Romans is as essential for us today as it was for those in Jesus time. One of the core messages in the epistle to the Romans is that our righteousness is counted for nothing because the righteousness of God had been fulfilled by the baptism of Jesus by which He took on the sin of the world and made our salvation complete with His own blood and resurrection from the dead.Furthermore, this book contains a message for believers who have moved from being under the Law to now being in Christ. It teaches how they are to live by walking in the Spirit and enjoying the freedom that comes from living under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, free from condemnation and bound to the service of the proclamation of the Gospel, just like the Apostle Paul. At the heart of this book is the author`s admonishment for sinners to cast off their own righteousness and summit themselves fully to the righteousness of God and His already completed salvation. "Thanks to this work, sinners no longer have to cling to their sins and repeat painful repentance, but can leave behind the sins that have already been borne, judged and finished by Jesus, and stand confidently as righteous people." For those who love God and seek to be justified according to His Word, this book is a must read for all such people. And for those bound by religious tradition and theology, it serves as a loving guide back to the promised salvation now completed through the baptism and blood of the Lord. Praise be to our God!

My Review on the book of 1 Corinthians seen from the perspective of the Gospel of water and The Spirit

The book of Corinthians is a letter written by the apostle Paul to the saints in Corinth.Through the book we are able to see the problems that arose inside the church at Corinth.Paul before addressing the errors of the saints first reminded them of the grace of the water and the spirit that the saints had received from God.This was because the truth of water and the Spirit was the means by which all conflicts could be resolved.Divisions had arisen in Corinth due to sectarianism.The centre of the faith of the saints in Corinth had shifted from our Lord Jesus Christ to the apostles. Because of this disputes were bound to arise that’s why the apostle Paul quickly restored the position of man to just an instrument used by God to fulfil His will.When man takes precedence over God conflicts are bound to arise inside the church.Man’s word cannot and should not have power more than God’s word of the water and the Spirit.Its God who Has saved us by getting baptised to carry our sins and received judgement on our behalf therefore all the Glory should be given solely to God.God servants are supposed to lead people to The Lord Jesus Christ not to themselves.God’s servants don’t exist to rule people but to guide the flock to live according to The Lords will.those who have become God’s servants must not try to lead the church with their own thoughts or assertions, but must minister within the scope of God’s word written in the Bible. When the purpose of the servants of God changes man takes and gives glory to another man.The Head of the church of God is Jesus Christ therefore the direction and The standard of God’s church is the Word of God and the preaching of the Gospel of the water and the spirit, the centre of the church must never shift from the Gospel of the water and the spirit.Also spiritual fathers must know how to resolve the conflicts that arise inside the Church of God.Instead of picking sides they must look for the root source of the conflict they must search to see if there is wrong knowledge in the hearts of the saints or the saints have not clearly understood the Gospel of the water and the spirit.The saints need to join their hearts with the spiritual father’s heart.The spiritual father is someone who lays all his life to the wellbeing of the soulsThe spiritual fathers don’t exit to rein upon the saints but they are stewards who looks over the saints souls.Through the book I have learnt that when man takes precedence over God conflicts are bound to arise inside the Church.Paul also rebukes the Corinthians saints for not treating sin as sin.The church had treated sin lightly through Pauls rebuke we come to see that the church is not an institution that fails to recognise sin and at the same time it does not exist to Judge people.When the saints commit sin the attitude of acknowledging sin as sin is needed and also firmly holding onto the salvation of God of the Water and The Spirit fulfilled by God.The saints are warned against mingling with those who have committed fornication with the world ( those who living pursuing the fleshly desires)Since the saints body is the temple of the Living God they should live to glorify God in both there spirits and bodies.Once we believe in the salvation of water and The spirit should not flow in the same direction as before.We must not seek to maintain our old habits as they are but we must live setting the direction of our thoughts and life within faith through God gospel.The work of discarding this old habits is not archived but human will alone but it’s accomplished within a purposeful life of propagating the gospel word of the water and the Spirit.Its God who allows us to be able to discern what is right and what is wrong and the Holy Spirit leads us to live for the spread of the Gospel of the water and the Spirit.God warns that even if one is born again if he lives following the desires of the flesh it will end with loss of the spiritual faith.Also the book taught about the freedom that we have received and how we should manage our freedom.A saint is not one who uses uses freedom just to serve himself but is someone who is ready to lay down all his rights for the sake of other souls.It means that a believer cannot live however he wants but must live seeking the benefits of other souls.We must be able to exercise self-restrain.We must consider the salvation of other souls important more our own rights of faith This is not saying to return to the law again.When freedom of faith is used as self indulgence it causes the neighbour’s soul to be lost.Its not about if “ I can do this or can I not” but its asking ourselves how the actions we take will impact our neighbours souls.People who don’t know the gospel word of the water and the spirit tries to cover themselves with their own good deeds. Therefore they judge the a believing person through what they eat and what they do.Our life of faith should not just stay at knowledge, we should not judge other people with the fact that we know the gospel of the water and the Spirit.neither should we try to elevate our selves.Pastor Paul c jong says that our standard of faith has now changed it is not “is this possible..?” But “does this save another persons soul..?Faith requires knowledge but if that knowledge is used incorrectly, it makes that person arrogant.Love that protects another persons faith is more important than asserting one’s own freedom or knowledge.Those who have been born again must live for the spreading of the gospel I have to think of the profit of the propagation of the gospel before my own profit.I need to lay down myself centeredness I learnt that I should not be obsessed by my own honor or recognition.We must lay down our rights for the propagation of the gospel.The ultimate purpose for our lives is the faith living for God.I learnt from the book that just because something is permitted does not mean its all helpful or it all builds others up.Also I learnt that seeking the benefit of people does not mean acting to cater to peoples feelings rather the benefit that the bible speaks of is spiritual life and the good direction of life instead of human satisfaction Also pastor Jong teaches that its very right for us to take the cases of people who failed on the path of faith as a mirror to gain lessons and follow the Lord.He also warns against pride and a self centred heart that ultimately bring About stumbling on the path of faith.The path the bible wants us to walk is not a path of pride but the path of humility.Pastor Jong also teaches about the real essence of the Holy communion viewed from the perspective of the Gospel of the water and the spirit.God is the designer of salvation, Jesus Christ is the one who completed salvation through the sacrifice of the water and the Spirit and we believers are those who received that salvation therefore when we hold the holy communion we should do so in remembrance of the bread and wine which are the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus who bore our sins on His body through His baptism shed blood to pay the price of life for our sins and then rose on the third day.Communion must behold with this faith in the heart.Also the members of the church must unite as many members of the one Body.The fact that saints have various gifts is prove that the community of faith is not built by one person but is built when saints with diverse gifts join together.The gifts don’t exist for saints to brag about them but to build one another.Pastor C.Jong teaches that the gifts should not become the centre of the church but the gifts should be exercised through Love in the water and the spirit.Each gift a Person has is precious and needed in the church. No one should that his/her gift is superior or inferior compared to others.Also the book teaches that its the right path for the saints to act as calyx for the Gospel of the water and the spirit.It’s right before God to offer our material possession for the spread of the Gospel of Water and the Spirit.Also I learnt about the faith of resurrection that we all must have.Just as Jesus resurrected we will also be resurrected and we will receive new bodies.For us to be able to endure and keep our faith even in difficulties we must have the faith that we will enter the millennial kingdom and later the everlasting kingdom of the new heavens and the new earth.HALLELUJAH!!!Bright Kwaku, Kenya

The Grace of God is sufficient for everyone (My review 2 Corinthian)

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2.Sometimes it feels like a dream being part of God's people who are propagating the true gospel of water and the Spirit to the ends of the world. Before believing in the gospel of water and the Spirit I lived my life believing Jesus saved mankind by dying on the Cross. At first my heart greatly rejoiced learning about my salvation, everything was making sense, but down the road something I did not expect began to happen. My heart started growing faint, my faith began to have a question mark, because the sin which I was told Jesus died for it on the Cross started resurfacing until I was drained and gave up my salvation. I thought it was beyond my reach, for it seemed impossible and shameful to me to claim Jesus died for my sins yet my heart was swimming in an ocean of sin no matter how much I tried to avoid it.Then after some time past I met a different gospel, totally different from what almost all the Christian believers I met preached. The book of Rev Paul C Jong introduced me to the baptism of Jesus as the most fitting way in which Jesus shouldered the sin of the world according to the scripture, then he died on the Cross for the remission of our sins, in three days time resurrected for our salvation and the Spirit bears witness to it. I didn't pay much attention to it for I made up my mind that Church and salvation wasn't my destination.But after going through the word again, it sunk in my heart. I couldn't help but admit that it was indeed the truth unlike anything I have ever heard. Of course, I was a bit scared that maybe it was just one of those same teaching which gives an exciting feeling like I previously believed the gospel centering only the Cross and thought even with this faith it will end up the same for me. Today my heart is rejoicing knowing that I don't have sin because Jesus took it in his baptism and paid for it on the Cross, but maybe one day I will wake up and again find my heart swimming in an ocean of sin.But to my surprise, the more I heard and dwell in the gospel of water and the Spirit, the more assured my heart became that I have no sin. Sometimes I could deliberately try to look for sin inside my heart but the response I was getting was like the women who went to look for Jesus in the tomb were he was buried only to find the tomb open and empty. While they were trying to figure out whether his body as been stolen, the angels appeared and told them why are you looking for the living among the dead he as already resurrected. Just as death could no longer hold Jesus, also my heart can no longer hold sin because the baptism of Jesus keep on telling me you won't find any sin inside your heart for I took it all and paid for it with my blood. I can not help but rejoice and give praise to the Almighty God for my salvation.After reading the sermons on second Corinthian by Pastor Paul Jong, my heart keep on rejoicing for I am living a blessed life hearing words most people wish to hear but because they are blinded by the gods of this age they fail to recognize the truth even if it is presented before their eyes with scriptural evidence. Apostle Paul therefore exhorted not just the Corinthian Church but us as well on salvation that we should not “receive the word of God in vain.” To live a life for oneself and not propagating the beautiful gospel is receiving the word of God in vain.Paul reminded the Corinthian brethren that “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians 5:15.” Here Apostle Paul was telling the born again the importance of living a life that propagate the gospel. Apostle Paul wrote “And he(Jesus) died for all” meaning when preaching the gospel one should not show partiality by preaching only to those he/she likes and not preach to those they dislike but preach to all people regardless of the color, nation or tribe for this is God's will. Apostle Paul continued by saying “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 2 Corinthians 5:16.”While ministering in God's Church it is not a secret that will face many challenges and difficulties because the devil stands as the enemy of the gospel who opposes it to the end, but we give thanks to our Lord for he has overcome the world. After Jesus got baptized as the first work for salvation and an indication for the beginning of his public ministry, the devil tried to oppose him in the wilderness. Matthew chapter 4 tells us how Jesus was led in the wilderness were he faced temptation. With this incident, Jesus was not showing us how to handle temptation but he was proclaiming our victory that himself has overcome it for us.At first, the devil tried tempting him using his flesh when he was hungry saying turn the stone into bread, meaning the devil will do all it takes to use our flesh to cause us to stumble, but Jesus declared man shall not live by bread alone but by the word that comes from God. Apostle Paul was struck in his flesh with a thorn. Instead of insisting to be made well as if his life depends on the well being of his flesh, he said “But he said to me ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-20.” The bible does not encourage us to neglect our bodies when we are sick nor starve ourselves when we have food to prove a point, rather it teaches us that we live not because our bodies are healthy and we don't lack but because of the word of God.Second, the devil took Jesus to the highest building and said to him jump, God as promised to send angels so that no harm should come to you. With this scene, Jesus was telling us have redeemed and made you free from sin but do not use your freedom to make others stumble. Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian Church “We know that ‘We all possess knowledge.’ But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 1 Corinthians 8:1.” There came a time the saints in the Corinthian Church developed a stubborn heart in the name of freedom/knowledge, but Paul exhorted the brethren “You my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. Galatians 5:13.” Also in 1 Corinthians 9 he wrote “Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible,” “I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”Jesus did not come on earth to excise his power but to save sinners. In like manner, servants of God are equipped with every knowledge, power and freedom of God's kingdom not to condemn each other nor develop a stubborn heart because they feel they have the right to something, but to show love on one another to an extent of even refraining oneself from an act which is not wrong to do but if it benefits others if you don't do it.Third, the devil asked Jesus to worship him in exchange for material gains, this means prioritizing human needs over Gods will. The Corinthian Church started dividing among itself by selecting who they follow, some Apollos, some Cepheus, and still others Paul, but that act does not come from spiritual minded people but a carnally mind one which puts human interest first. So Paul wrote “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10.” We should not put human interest first or try to please people when serving God, it only stand as an opposition to the will of God.In summary, the second book of Corinthian has taught me the true meaning of living as God's minister. Paul did not hide is weaknesses rather he embraced them in Gods grace which works sufficiently in his weak body. Paul did not use his knowledge to excise power among the brethren but chose to build the Church in the love of God. Lastly, Paul did not seek human approval for his Apostleship by pleasing people in a fleshly way but followed only God's will and put it as of first priority.Beloved Paul Jong and John Shin, bear with my writing for my heart joyfully and swim in the grace of God which came by water and blood. I know I have so much to write to you but my writing can not be enough to express how happy I have come to live in this gospel. I thank God for allowing the book of 1 and 2 Corinthian seen from the perspective of the gospel of water and the Spirit to be written to us. I have read it and will be reading it again for the profound word written in it can not be fully grasped overnight. May God keep on giving you strength and prosper you for the benefit of the Church and propagating the gospel. Am so excited to start reading the next book Galatians then later on Romans, my greetings to all the brethren and faithful servants of God in South Korea.New Life Gospel Vision Church ZambiaChris Mulonga, Zambia
