Brethren, we have come to a very important turning point in our life of faith in the beautiful gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Indeed, Satan the devil is stirring through his servants to not only belittle the power of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, but also to destroy the work of saving souls. To do this, the servants of Satan the devil attack the servants established by God by negatively judging everything they do.
Some complain that the books containing the beautiful gospel are very big for the readers and it would be better to have a few pages, others insist that the Reverend Paul C. Jong must go to each country to establish the churches and servants of God and others say Reverend Paul C. Jong overemphasizes the gospel of the Baptism of Jesus and His Blood on the cross in each book and that it is best to expand on themes such as politics , science or world news as most heretical leaders who are not born again do in their books.
So the unsteady saints falter in their faith when they come to stir the field of their hearts. Failing to deny themselves, they find the life of faith in the gospel of water and spirit so confusing that they come to spiritual death.
Yes, Brethren, after receiving the remission of my sins, I wholeheartedly desired to serve the beautiful gospel. Unfortunately, I encountered a group of people who claimed to believe and preach the beautiful gospel. The leader of this group had made his own books in which he mixed the Baptism of Jesus and the gospel of the Blood of the cross. Unaware of the true identity of this group, I happily joined them. But as time passed, my faith deteriorated and became worse than that of non-believers. I refrain from citing here what kind of life we led in this group. But I can tell you that debauchery and cheating were our gods at that time. Likewise, the leader of this group frequently said: “Reverend Paul C. Jong does not understand the gospel of the water and the Spirit well, he should come to our country for training”. And it`s up to us to stupidly say: ``Amen``. At one point, I was so confused and I was so ashamed to say that I believe in Jesus who really came to save us from all our sins by the Water and the Blood. My shame was so unbearable that I thought to myself, "If believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit is leading such a life, it would be better to die. How can someone who has no sin can be so confusing and unstable?” And as I thought about it deeply, a thought came to mind to write a letter to The New Life Mission explaining what I was experiencing in this group. I received books 25 and 26 in response to my concern. Realizing that I was among the heretics and that I myself had become a heretic even though I believed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, I became so furious with this group. At that moment, I couldn`t bear such deception from them. I suffered so much sin in my heart before I encountered the beautiful gospel of the water and the Spirit, so it was inconceivable for me at this time to be deceived again. My separation from these people was so brutal. I wanted in this moment to defend my faith by my own carnal righteousness. When I think about it again I get chills. I believe that the Lord took on all of our human weaknesses through His Baptism and atoned for them on the Cross, including this brutal separation.
After separating from these people, I was able to unite with God`s church and preach the beautiful gospel to the best of the ability that God has provided for us. And then God was able to raise up faithful workers in His church to preach the beautiful gospel in my country. If we have been able to not only encounter the beautiful gospel and then succeed in preaching it to others, it is only because of the church of God which is The New Life Mission. And it comes from God Himself. It is not by a human being`s own will that this has been possible so far. Rev. Paul C. Jong testified that he had to give up writing the books after the release of the first book because of the unbearable difficulties, but today we are blessed with 66 books. Each of us can testify to unbearable difficulties because of the beautiful gospel, and each can also testify to the miracle of perseverance. So I am deeply hurt when I hear so many people complaining about what the Church of God is doing. I think a lot of those souls who will perish because of the words of such people when they have at least been able to encounter the beautiful gospel. Far from continuing to be disgusted, I put everything in the hands of our God and Savior Jesus Christ who will certainly judge believers and non-believers. May God bless and protect you all!
