What are the Criteria Prevalent in Gods Ordained Church

In each of the different ages, since Jesus inauguration of His church, different demands were placed upon the various churches. Political and socio-economical pressures were always factors influencing the conduct, order and doctrine of the one true church of God. His church has never been rich or popular, unlike the great organisations man has built. Jesus never did instruct His followers to build great cathedrals, seminars and monasteries; yet man built them anyway. A typical trait of man is to believe that God needs his help. The very opposite is in fact the case. For example; Man has always deemed it his responsibility to interpret Gods Word. Man would venture, without authority, into the deep secrets, the mysteries and prophecies in his attempt to master the understanding of Gods Bible. God is His own interpreter! He interprets His own Word be it the Spoken prophecy of His prophets or the written Word of the Bible which God inspired many different men, most of whom never met one another, nor had most ever read any of the writings of the others but yet, they wrote as the Holy Spirit, God, gave them inspiration and always without contradiction. What is your absolute and ultimate? Your church? Your pastor? The Lord Jesus died for all mans sins. Each and every man or woman

has been given the same opportunity to receive salvation. What we do with that opportunity is up to us. God provides a way of redemption and deliverence from sin, and man must seek it and apply it. Let me quickly add, here and now, that God never did place the power of redemption or salvation in the hands of any single man, except Jesus; nor did He place it in the power of any organisation. What does God ask of you? He never ever has used an organised church for any reason and based upon His record, He never will. God is sovereign and interprets and manifests according to His good pleasure and whatever He does or does not do, is and will always, be according to His Bible. The Bible is THE ultimate and absolute a genuine Christian. If your church is your all in all and absolute I hope that by the time you have read this pamphlet your heart has been changed to focus upon the creator of heaven and earth for He, Jesus, holds your destiny in His hands, and the only thing that can influence that fact is your own free will. Jesus will never over-ride your free will because the destiny of your soul hangs in the balance. Hell try to influence you but never force you. You are a triune being which comprises of a body, a spirit, and a soul. Your soul, which is you, the spiritual being, that is in the image of your body, and dwells in your body, has only two senses, faith and unbelief, It must make the decision to believe or disbelieve Gods Word based upon the input from your spirit which has five

senses which include; conscience, reason, memory, thought and affection. These five senses are the channels of communication to the body which also has five senses with which to contact the physical realm; sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. What is Gods Church The question that God is asking all mankind is, Do you believe Gods revealed Word for your hour, or not? If you believe it then you will live according to it. God is always looking to see you manifest it in your life. Why? Because He has determined that in this, the last church age, He has revealed all of His secrets and mysteries to His Elected Bride and She, being one with Him, and in nature, reflecting His image, She will manifest all the promises and the works, in fact, greater works shall She do, in a demonstration never seen before; just prior to His coming. His church is not made with hands. She, is a many membered body of sincere believers; who will not compromise on Gods Word; no matter what the circumstances. She cannot; because She has a Word seed, the Gene of god, planted deep in Her soul and as much as God cannot deny His Word, nor can His bride. The promise of a prophet sent to this last age They are one in Spirit and power and in one accord, (agreement and harmony) in faith of doctrine. The very life that was in Jesus is in His Bride. No-one can join this church. All the members were predestinated

before the foundations of the world. It was them who God saw overcome unto the end and wrote their names in the Lambs Book of Life. This elected Bride are baptized into the mystical body by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and adopted, (placed in position) once God is satisfied that the individuals tuition, by the Holy Ghost, is complete. What does the Bride of God believe in this age? The church is led by the Holy Ghost; Who has appointed prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors and apostles for the perfection, of the Bride. She expects to hear from God through the foolishness of preaching inspired sermons after the pastor has waited upon the Lord for a message to His church. It is expedient that we call and wait upon the Holy Ghost to minister the Word in due season since only He knows the position and the needs of the body. Gods revelation is a continuously outpouring message, and the light for our day and it is absolutely vital that we identify His Message of the hour and continue walking in the light by the grace and mercy of God. God promised in His Word, (Malachi 4; 5&6 and Matt. 17; 10, 11 and Luke 17; 30 and Rev. 3; 14-22 and Rev. 10; 1-7) that He would send us the spirit of Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord and that He would restore the faith, (which was perverted by the Roman Catholic papal system) back to the original teaching of Paul and the disciples. The church of God therefore believes, as did the original church, that if an angel comes from

the presence of God and teaches anything different than that which was originally delivered by the disciples, and vindicated by Paul who was tutored by the Holy Ghost Himself in Arabia for three years after his dramatic conversion, and for fourteen years prior to meeting any of the disciples, that angel should be accursed. The Bride of God also believes that man should not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. She believes that there is one God and He is a Holy Spirit and that the fullness of that Spirit dwelled in Jesus from the time that He was baptized until just prior to His crucifixion and that after He was wounded for our transgressions and by His stripes are we healed, and was crucified in our place, as a sacrifice, to purchase our redemption. He went to hell and claimed the keys of death, and hell from Satan and rose in victory to the right hand of power in heaven. All power that was and is, is given to Jesus; through whom all things were created that is created. We know that there is no other name under heaven and earth whereby man can be saved. We believe that God is no respecter of persons and should anyone add to or take one Word from the Bible, God will take their name out of the Book of life. There is no confusion, errors, or contradictions regards the Bible God means what He says. He tells it like it is and demands obedience to it. He has taken the trouble to reveal His Word through His ordained prophet of this age and vindicated it and now

He seeks them who will receive it. He knows who will and who will not. He wait now only for the last one to be adopted into His Brides Body before coming to fetch Her. Theres nothing we can do to justify being saved. It is a finished work. All Jesus asks is that we believe all the promises and ask, in Jesus name, for the things we need. How much easier could God have made it? There are no more complicated theories, isms, creeds, dogmas or symbols. If you cannot understand the Word of God it could be due to the fact that you are studying the wrong Bible. The only English Bible that will ever make sense, and was approved and ordained by God, is the Authorised King James version. The revised version is perverted too. If you are reading the authorised KJV and still experience confusion then it is time for you to approach it through the eyes of the Holy Ghost inspired prophet of the day. Satans masterpiece All has been revealed by Gods Prophet William Marrion Branham. It is light in the evening time. The Dark Ages are over. Dont believe the lie that it was an apple that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden. It was plain, simple adultery with the Serpent. Apples do not make babies nor do they make you realise that you are naked. The Serpents son was Cain and Adams son was Able. All life comes from God so it isnt strange that Eve exclaimed that she has got a child from God. That didnt make God the father. It just confirms that she did something that produced children.

Look at the nature of Cain compared to Able. His nature was of the serpent, easily perverted by Satan, who inspired the Serpent to beguile Eve, the type of Gods church. Satan has never changed his tactics. He still uses woman, the weaker vessel, to corrupt mankind. Today, his masterpiece is the naked woman. He has perverted woman to such a degree that man is sick to death of it and has resorted to same sex relationships and so has the woman. Adam knew it and so do we. The Baptism in the titles of Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is a perversion. So is baby sprinkling. Nobody in the Bible was ever baptized like that. Every record of a baptism was done with complete submersion and in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Holy Ghost inspired revelation to Peter; who possessed the keys to the Kingdom of God. Whatever Peter loosed or bound on earth, God loosed or bound in Heaven. Paul baptized the same way and instructed them, who were baptized incorrectly, to be re-baptized in Christian baptism. May I offer a few quotes from Gods prophet regarding what he believed to be the criterion prevalent in Gods church. Jesus said the same thing in John 6:45. Being ONE WITH THE WORD proves whether you are of God and Spirit-filled. No other criterion. Not long ago a man said to me that the Roman Catholic church had to be the true church as it had been true to what it believed over all the years,

and kept on growing and not changing. That isn't so at all. Any church with the government behind it, and with its own creed which isn't the Word at all, and with no manifested ministry to cause the devil to get aroused, could surely carry on. That was not a criterion. But when you think of that little group whose members were sawn asunder, fed to lions, persecuted and driven from pillar to post and yet stayed true to the Word--now definitely that would have to be God. How they survived their battle of faith and carried on still: THAT is the miracle. "I know thy works." If a man fears that he might not please God, then let him fulfill the Word. If a man wonders if he will hear those words, "Well done, good and faithful servant," let him fulfill the Word of God in his life, and assuredly he will hear those words of praise. The Word of truth was the criterion then; it is the criterion now. There isn't another standard; there isn't another plumb line. As the world is going to be judged by one Christ Jesus, even so it is going to be judged by the Word. If a man wants to know how he is making out, let him do as James suggested: "Look into the mirror of God's Word." Many have forsaken the Christian faith because of the inadequacies and inconsistencies of the formal churches.
