教会对【圣灵的浸事件】偏向断章取义的理解（五）

Church inclines towards out of context interpretation of [the Event of the Holy Spirit Baptism] （5）

The Book: A Secret Hidden in the Book of John Chapter 14 for Over Two Thousand Years: The Purpose of the Holy Spirit Baptism

（第七章摘要）

整本书有九章，这是最後一个中文摘要，如果这五个重要的摘要不能使你看到隐藏在约翰福音14章的秘密的话，如果你还看不出教会对【圣灵的浸事件】是偏向断章取义的理解，多说就没有什么意思了。求神开通让更多人的心眼，能看到神要你们看到的。也请读者不要一直保持缄默，有错的地方请不吝赐教。我不是超人不能体会你们闷声不响到底是表示默默的赞同，还是无声的抗议！在主耶稣基督的圣名下，没有见不得光的事。为了追求理解真理的原本意义，更要走在正路上；我跌倒了你来拉，你跌倒了我来扶，这不就是主赐我们新的生命的重要意义之一吗？期望大家不要等到神让石头也开口时，才来附和响应，这会好像是慢了一小步了！

前文提要

五旬节圣灵的显现（不是降临），也间接的向使徒们证明【原来神的灵真的是充满万有的，无所不在的】（耶利米23：24，以弗所书1：23，诗篇139：7-12，箴言15：3）。如果【神是无所不在的】是我们的前提，那充满万有的神的灵何需再降临在一个祂已经存在的地方呢？從此以后使徒们的肉眼即使看不见神的灵，他们也会深信他们无时无刻地沉浸在神的灵里面。主耶稣对门徒承诺【与他们同在知道世界的末了（马太28：20）】在门徒心中就变得非常踏实的一件事。

五旬节圣灵赐给使徒们说方言的恩赐，当每一个人自己的口中说出方言的那一刹那，每一个人自己醒悟过来，原来【神充满万有的灵】不仅是沉浸着他们，【神的灵也同时在他们里头】，如果不是神的灵赐给他们说方言的恩赐，【小信的使徒们】（马太8：26；14：31；16：18；17：20；马可16：14；路加12：28）永远体会不出这道理。因此也可以说，说方言的恩赐，【显露】出神的灵在他们里面，也符合在【显现】的应许之中。

整个五旬节圣灵的浸的现象，符合主耶稣在约翰14章向门徒的豫言【还要到你们这里来（14：18），在门徒里面（14：20），向门徒显现（14：21）】。以此为大前提，那五旬节圣灵的浸就不是【神应许要把神的灵浇灌在凡有血气的人的身上的方法】，也不是【神的灵第一次降临】。因为神是自有永有（出埃及记3：14；启示录 1：8，11；22：13），神是无所不在的充满万有的（耶利米23：24，以弗所书1：23，诗篇139：7-12，箴言15：3）。虽然我们肉眼看不到圣灵，因着信我们知道神的灵无时无刻的充满着万有。有如空气的比喻，我们肉眼看不见空气，但当空气流动时，风的动力使我们感觉空气的存在。如有人向你说“没有风，就表示没有空气的存在”，你知道那是一个歪理。同理，如有人向你说“圣灵没有动工，就表示圣灵不存在”，这也是歪理。因此你也应该可以看出教会的理解完全不能符合神的这些特徵，也不能明白的解释为什么有些人有说方言的恩赐，有些人没有说方言的恩赐。如果神的灵已经住在我们里头，教会却继续叫信徒去求神的灵，那不是很可笑很滑稽的一件事吗？

我们更应该知道的是，【充满的意思不仅是指装满，也是指，“灌输, 使感染, 使充满”，或是“影响，感化，影响力，权势，势力，影响，有影响的人(或事物)”， 或是“供应，补给，贮备，提供，补充”】（文章：“圣灵“，”降临”，“充满，”和“说方言”的关系）。因此今天我们每一个人应该追求的是另一种层次的【充满】，诚心求慈爱的天父赐给我们一颗【顺服神的心】，能够接受住在我们里头的圣灵的【感化】【影响】【补充我们的不足】，【使我们能活出一个新生的样式】。或许这关联到灵里的重生吧！（文章：重生与得救 ）因此当我们跪下向神祷告时，如果只求神继续装满我们，而不是求神【赐给我们一颗顺服神的心】能顺服圣灵的感化，影响，和补充我们的不足，使我们有新生的样式，那不是很糊涂的一件事吗？想一想这一个前提【能装满宇宙万物的灵】，难道不能一次就把你这小小的身体装满吗？ 

教会错误的教导，可以解释为什么今天很多老信徒不仅活不出新生的样式，反而是呆在教会越久的信徒越退步，不是吗？你不是亲眼看到高层的林梁车等所结的果，看出他们都被属世君王政治权势装的满满的，做出不堪入目的作为，反而主耶稣传讲的命令在他们里面好像消失的无影无踪吗？所以观其果知其树，我们看到他们好像只剩下【口能继续讲论主的真理】，【心已经不能受圣灵的感动行出真理的样式来】【已经不能遵主为大了】【在行为上让外人看出他们不是主耶稣的门徒】，不是吗？这些老信徒不是缺少另一种层次的【充满】的一个明证吗？也可以说当一个人的心被【歪理】完全占据时，没有真理的光，其心是何等的黑暗啊！没有用真理（搞反曲解扭曲的真理--》是歪理）当作带子束腰，没有用公义当作护心镜遮胸，没有平安的福音，没有信德，不就挡不住魔鬼的攻击吗？（以弗所6：14-18）我只求怜悯人的神，让你们看到教会对【圣灵的浸事件】偏向断章取义的理解之下行成的歪理，就是为什么今天教会已经没有能力抵挡魔鬼的攻击的原因之一。期望你们能把真理扶正，使神的真理继续护卫教会的另一个一百年的路程。换句话说，你们看到信了，不会给我带来什么利益和好处；你们的不信，对我也丝毫无损。我扪心自问，神赐给我时间能力启示，我都照着做了，在神的圣名下我自己对自己的良心没有指责！只期望你们也如是！

以上面所说为前提，我们只剩下一个疑问，就是主耶稣的灵或神的灵或圣灵是在几时才住在信徒里头。

神“如何”和“在什么时候”把神的灵浇灌在凡有血气的人的身上？

重提我们所认识的神的特徵

【神是自有永有】（出埃及记3：14；启示录1：8，11；22：13）

【神是无所不在的充满万有的】（耶利米23：24，以弗所书1：23，诗篇139：7-12，箴言15：3）

【神是无所不知的】（诗篇33：13-15；139：1-4；147：4-5；以赛亚46：9-10；57：15；约伯37：16；箴言5：21；约翰一书19：20）

【神是无所不能的】（创世记1：1-10；约伯38；39；42：2；耶利米32：17，27；马太19：26；路加1：37；启示录19：6）

【保惠师】就是圣灵（约翰14：26，），圣灵是神的灵（诗篇51：10-11，帖撒罗尼迦前书4：8，约翰一书3：24，以弗所书4：30），也是基督的灵（罗马书8：9， 彼得前书1：11），也是神儿子的灵（加拉太书4：6）

主耶稣做父要做的事，说父要说的话（大前提）

耶稣对他们说，我实实在在的告诉你们，子凭着自己不能作什么，惟有看见父所作的，子才能作。父所作的事，子也照样作。（约翰5：19）

父怎样叫死人起来，使他们活着，子也照样随自己的意思使人活着。（约翰5：21）

因为父怎样在自己有生命，就赐给他儿子也照样在自己有生命。（约翰5：26）

我凭着自己不能作什么。我怎麽听见，就怎麽审判。（约翰5：30）

因为父交给我要我成就的事，就是我所作的事，（约翰5：36)

你们举起人子以后，必知道我是基督，并且知道我没有一件事，是凭着自己作的。我说这话，乃是照着父所教训我的。（约翰8：28）

我所说的，是在我父那里看见的。（约翰8：38）

只等真理的圣灵来了，他要引导你们明白（原文作进入）一切的真理。因为他不是凭自己说的，乃是把他所听见的都说出来。（约翰16：13）

如果研究以上的经节得到的理解是告诉我们『主耶稣所做的事都不是自己要做的，而是天父要做的事；主耶稣说的每一句话不是自己要说的话，而是天父要说的话』，读者应该可以同意，主耶稣说的话份量有多重，因为那是天父在说的。读者也应该可以同意，主耶稣做的工份量有多重，因为那是天父在做的。

如果这理解成为一个重要的前提，在这大前提之下，那么我们在四福音书里读到的主耶稣所说的每一句话都是天父在说的，主耶稣所做的每一件事都是天父在做的。这个重要的前提，将使我们在研读四福音书时产生出前所未有非常不一样的正确的理解，明白主耶稣所说所做的原因和真正的意义。

神改变神的计划

神在旧约时代只【选择性的赐神的灵给一些古圣徒先知】，並不是每一个信神的人都赐给。

但神可以改变神自己定下的计划吗？答案是肯定的：可以！有谁有能力教导神如何去做才顺自己的心意呢（约伯21：22）？答案是肯定的：不可以！

神第一次改变神的计划：以西结书36：22-29。这是神向以色列民说的话：神为了神的圣名，会把四散在列邦的以色列人收回，洁净他们，赐给他们新心，把神的灵放在他们里面。

神第二次改变神的计划：约珥书2：28-29。（2:28 以后，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说豫言。你们的老年人要作异梦。少年人要见异象。 2:29 在那些日子，我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女）。这次不仅是以色列人而已，一切凡有血气的人，神会把神的灵浇灌给他们。

以上两段经节里面没有足够的信息告诉我们神是如何实现神的承诺？会在什么时候被成就？在旧约圣经里也找不到有这样的记载，所以我们很肯定的知道，神的应许，神的承诺，在旧约时代还没有被成就。

主耶稣会告诉我们神的灵如何被浇灌在凡有血气的人的身上吗？

主耶稣有很多次向跟随他的门徒传讲关于『神的灵』的事情，你说门徒【能信】主耶稣所说的每一句话吗？门徒【能明白】主耶稣所说的每一句话吗？

事实告诉我们，使徒们不能完全相信也不能完全明白主耶稣（请参考：教会对【圣灵的浸事件】偏向断章取义的理解（三）里提到的门徒的【小信】，【不信】和【误解主耶稣】）。以此为前提，我们应该知道使徒们因对主耶稣的了解所作出的结论或评语，並不是每一句话都是对的。如果我们把使徒们所说的每一句话或评语都当成真理看待，那么我们会越读圣经越变的糊涂。同理，我们知道【信耶稣基督是得救的前提】，但我们却没有小心把我们听到的信息和主耶稣的吩咐对比，这也是非常愚拙的事。这不是神要把我们弄糊涂，而是我们自找糊涂，只能埋怨自己的无知！

（A）求

向耶稣向天父祈求圣灵

（约翰4：10）耶稣回答说，你若知道神的恩赐，和对你说给我水喝的是谁，你必早求他，他也必早给了你活水。

（路加11：9-13）9 我又告诉你们，你们祈求就给你们。寻梢就寻见。叩门就给你们开门。 10 因为凡祈求的就得着。寻梢的就寻见。叩门的就给他开门。 11 你们中间作父亲的，谁有儿子求饼，反给他石头呢。求鱼，反拿蛇当鱼给他呢。 12 求鸡蛋，反给他蝎子呢。 13 你们虽然不好，尚且知道拿好东西给儿女。何况天父，岂不更将圣灵给求他的人麽。

为什么要向神求？

不要把圣物给狗，也不要把你们的珍珠丢在猪前，恐怕他践踏了珍珠，转过来咬你们。（马太7：6）

不好拿儿女的饼，丢给狗吃。（马太15：23-28）

“求”重要的理解

第一点：主耶稣是指求圣灵，神的灵；主耶稣没有说是求【基督的灵】。神的灵是【自有永有的】【充满万有的】，所以无论主耶稣基督在世间或在天上，神的灵永远充满着万有！其实即使主耶稣说求基督的灵也並不会产生任何问题，因为我们知道基督的灵，就是圣灵，也是神的灵。基督的灵可以同时在基督身上並充满万有！阿门！

第二点：主耶稣並没有特别声明说，你们只可以在我得荣耀後或升天後才可以求圣灵。主耶稣特别强调说“你必早求他，他也必早给了你活水”，和“寻梢的就寻见。叩门的就给他开门”。

第三点：圣经里没有出现记载说，使徒们因深信主耶稣的话向神祈求圣灵得到圣灵的记录。使徒们的【小信和不信】，可以给我们一个非常合理的解释。使徒们因为【没有信主耶稣说的话】或【没有了解主耶稣的意思】所以听了主耶稣的话之后，这些话並不能在他们心中产生任何的作用。

打个比喻，我可以用千言万语跟你说话，但这一千个字一万个字好像只落在你的身上而已，没有进入你的心里面，你还是得不到我要向你传达的信息，这沟通是失败了，主耶稣跟使徒们的沟通（Logos）也失败了一样。

（B）我在你里面

（约翰6：53-56）53 耶稣说，我实实在在的告诉你们，你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。 54 吃我肉，喝我血的人就有永生。在末日我要叫他复活。 55 我的肉真是可吃的，我的血真是可喝的。 56 吃我肉喝我血的人，常在我里面，我也常在他里面。

第一次沟通失败，过了不久之后，主耶稣又向使徒们沟通，告诉他们主就是天上的粮，真的是可以吃的。主耶稣在6：56节说，“吃我肉喝我血的人在我里面，我在他里面”。（常字是翻译的人自己加进去的）所以当使徒们领了“圣餐”之后，照主耶稣所说，主耶稣就在使徒们里头。

“我在你里面”重要的理解

第一点：“我在他里面”是什么意思呢？是主耶稣整个身体进入使徒们的身体里面吗？不是的，这只能是指主耶稣的灵住在使徒们身体里面。如果你没有忘记主耶稣的灵就是圣灵的话，那主耶稣就可以站在门徒面前，同时圣灵也可以住在使徒们里面，是不是？

第二点：同样的，主耶稣並没有特别声明说在主耶稣得荣耀後或升天後，主耶稣才回来住在使徒们里面。

第三点：使徒们能完全相信和明白主耶稣说的话吗？答案是没有！主耶稣跟使徒们的另一个沟通又失败了。

（C)活水江河

（约翰7：37-39）37 节期的末日，就是最大之日，耶稣站着高声说，人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝。 38 信我的人，就如经上所说，从他复中要流出活水的江河来。 39 耶稣这话是指着信他之人，要受圣灵说的，那时还没有赐下圣灵来，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。

主耶稣说的：7：37，38

使徒约翰说的评语：7：39

“活水江河”重要的理解

第一点：这也是指求圣灵，神的灵是自有永有的充满万有的，所以只要信耶稣基督的，就会信主耶稣的吩咐，向天父求，吃主的肉喝主的血。主耶稣的话就是灵就是生命（约翰6：63），只要照主耶稣的话去做的，就有灵有生命。

第二点：同样的，主耶稣並没有特别声明说要等到主耶稣得荣耀後或升天後，这些人才可以来信耶稣才可以有活水的江河（圣灵）。

第三点：真耶稣教会因着信，强调要信使徒约翰这句话是神所默示的，完全忽略了一个重要的前提，就是使徒们跟從主耶稣三年里所表现的【小信】，【不信】和【时常误解主耶稣】。（I）如果约翰这句话被举证为【神所默示的】，是真理。那这句话将同时推翻【神的灵是自有永有的】和【神的灵无所不在的充满万有的】前提，一切我们对神的认识和理解将要重新整顿过。（II）如果求圣灵必须要等到主耶稣死後复活升天才可以求到，这么重要的信息，主耶稣一定会在传讲求圣灵的时候自己提出来。但從【（A) 求】到【（B) 我在你里面】和以后，我们看到主耶稣有两个机会澄清这信息，但主耶稣都没有提起。在人的眼中会把这失误称为“错失良机”，但主耶稣却永远也不会错失良机，如果这信息是天父要更我们沟通的信息，主耶稣一定不会忘记的。所以最可能的原因，这不是主耶稣的意思所以主耶稣没有必要澄清，这只是使徒约翰的一个错误的理解而已。

（D）约翰14章，主耶稣的豫言

主耶稣的豫言：【我去】【还要到你们这里来】，前几个分享已经举证过了。现在再看另一个使我们非常迷惑的经节。

（约翰16：7） 然而我将真情告诉你们。我去是与你们有益的。我若不去，保惠师就不到你们这里来。我若去，就差他来。

好吧，大家大慨会在心里笑着说，嘿，这是主耶稣亲自讲的话，Desert Rose应该相信了吧！

谢谢你们将我一军！当时写到这一章时，我也以为【神将了我一军】让我看个明白，叫我醒醒吧！不要犯糊涂了！外面的阳光充沛，暖风徐徐，绿草如茵，百花齐放，小鸟争鸣，算了吧，神不是为我们创造这么美好的景色，何必躲在小书房默默笔耕呢？享受享受一下自己的人生，何必为神的民忧心如焚呢？正在颓丧的时刻，心中默然祷告神，神啊！就是这样结束了吗？那些【信心强的，没有看到说方言的明证就信神的人】，就这样地被【那些小信的人，需要看到说方言明证才信的人】继续委屈下去吗？袮让我在五，六年里看到的，竟是虚无的幻觉吗？感觉上，信实的神默默的看着我，看我是否决定要站在阳光底下，或是站在從窗口斜射进来的阳光侧面，同样的阳光两样的结局！我没有动，我没有动，我屹立在电脑键盘前纹风不动！

神的话好像又在心中出现了，如果（约翰16：7）是整本圣经里唯一主耶稣基督讲解圣灵的事，那我以前的看见，全部只是个人的一个虚无的幻觉，海市蜃楼而已！那主耶稣在世上的一段时间，圣灵没有和主耶稣同在，没有充满地球的每一个角落！这信息完全推翻【神是自有永有的】，【神是无所不在的充满万有的】这些前提。但想想，或许人可以忽略掉【神是自有永有的】，【神是无所不在的充满万有的】，主耶稣却不会忘记自己的大能，是不是？

事实上（约翰16：7）並不是唯一的讲解圣灵的一句话，不是独立的一句话，这是主耶稣豫言【我去】【还要到你们这里来】（约翰14：28）之后说的。因此（约翰16：7）和（约翰14：28）是彼此有关联的。因为门徒的【小信，不信和误解】主耶稣所说的豫言一定要眼睁睁的成就在使徒们的眼前，使他们看到事情成就，就可以信！这豫言【我去】【还要到你们这里来】一定会遵照主耶稣豫言的次序发生，所以【我去】一定要先发生，然后【我要到你们这里来】才可以发生，不是吗？这也是为什么【五旬节圣灵的浸】是发生在【主耶稣升天後】的原因。

看了整幅图画，有了连贯性，一切意思都通了，是不是？

所以在（约翰16：7）主耶稣是在告诉使徒们，“事情还没有成就前，我豫言【我去】【还要到你们这里来】。所以【我去】是对你们有益的，因为以你们的【小信，不信和误解】，如果你们没有亲眼看到我的豫言如期发生，你们没有可能会信！（不要再缠着我）我早一点离开你们，你们肉眼就早一点看到【我来】（对你们有益的）。（也请记得，主耶稣只能用【人的言语】跟使徒们沟通）

哈利路亚，感谢神！在约翰福音14章隐藏了两千多年的奥秘，神让我看见了，我现在向你们见证了，你们信吗？

（E）你们受圣灵

（约翰20：21-22）21 耶稣又对他们说，愿你们平安。父怎样差遣了我，我也照样差遣你们。 22 说了这话，就向他们吹一口气，说，你们受圣灵。

懂的希腊文的学者说，使徒们当时就受圣灵，意思是圣灵已经住在使徒们里头。我们教会不十分懂希腊文的专家，说这是“未来式”的语句，所以使徒们当时还没有受圣灵。我想我们教会这样地坚持，不过是为了支持“五旬节圣灵第一次降临”的理论而已。因为支持这理论的人，並不在意这理论会把【神是自有永有的】【神是无所不在的充满万有的】这些前提都推的一干二净。

我的重点是教会的信心和使徒们在五旬节之前的信心一样，当时的使徒们也並【不信他们眼睛看不到的东西】，所以使徒们没有信主耶稣会像天父一样有这能力赐给他们【神的灵】。主耶稣以动作和言语向门徒沟通又失败了！

第七章的结论

（约翰20:25 那些门徒对他说，我们已经看见主了。多马却说，我非看见他手上的钉痕，用指头探入那钉痕，又用手探入他的肋旁，我总不信。）

使徒们信主耶稣基督，但他们也是【小信的，不信的，和误解主耶稣的】门徒，多马不能信别的使徒们的见证是一个明证！我只是期望你们看到这样的见证时能够【深信不疑】；期望你们不要进入使徒们之前的【小信】，而是进入使徒们之后的【深信不疑】！

主耶稣是【道成肉身的神】（约翰1：1，14），中文翻译为“道”，英文翻译为“Word，字”，原文是“Logos，是神的沟通”。【沟通】的意思，远远超过【字】的意思。重提以上的例子，打个比喻，我可以用千言万语跟你说话，但这一千个字一万个字如果只落在你的身上而已，没有进入你的心里面，你还是得不到我要向你传达的信息，这沟通是失败了。主耶稣要向我们沟通的，就是神要跟我们传讲的信息。或许出于人为的【搞反原意，曲解真相，扭曲事实】，或许是出自【撒旦的搅扰攻击】，把神要跟我们沟通的信息改变的暗昧不明。只要信主耶稣的人不能呼应主耶稣的呼召，遵主耶稣基督为王，而继续以属世君王（教会中央组织也是这王）为王，那撒旦就可以多一个在地狱火湖里陪伴他的人。

主耶稣向我们沟通，告诉我们神如何把神的灵浇灌在凡有血气的人的身上

五旬节圣灵的浸的发生，完全为了成就主耶稣在约翰福音14章的豫言，所以不是神要浇灌神的灵的一个方法。把以上五个赐圣灵有关的经节（A），（B），（C），（D），和（E）排在一起看，神要把神的灵浇灌在凡有血气的人的身上，主耶稣向我们沟通的最明确的方法是（A）求，和（B）我在你里面。两者的唯一分别点是（A）因为人的【小信】或许会觉得不十分肯定自己已经求到圣灵，但（B）却是地的确确的在领了圣餐的那一刻，主耶稣就住在我们里面了。这人能不能被神的灵感化，影响，补充他的不足，使他有另一个层次的【充满】，活出一个新生的样式，就要看他对神的信心有多大多深了。

打破【说方言恩赐】的迷思

但愿神让你们看了晓得，听了明白。能【晓得明白】神救恩的奥秘(哥林多前书1：18-31；2：1-16)，在属神的人的心中这奥秘已经不是一个秘密。（约翰4:22 你们所拜的，你们不知道。我们所拜的，我们知道。）如果我们拜的神是我们知道的，那还有什么奥秘可言！

我只能向你们勉励也勸你们小心提防，我们不可能完全理解高深莫测的神【显明的】和【还没有显明的】。一切神向我们【显明的】事已经够我们用一辈子的时间去揣摩去明白，不要轻易的被人拉去陷于【神还没有显明】的事上，那是我们承担不起的（约翰16：12）。知道主耶稣就是神救恩的奥秘，遵主为王谨守主吩咐的命令，在世上有【新生的生命】在天上【有永生】，这是神应许给每一个信他的人说的，阿门！

很遗憾的是，教会为了可以名正言顺的在真耶稣教会里把信徒【分门别类】，就【搞反曲解扭曲】使徒保罗在哥林多前书纠正圣徒对【说方言恩赐的误解】（使徒保罗分析哥林多圣徒“说方言”的问题）。教会不是宣告【信圣经是神所默示】的吗？为什么教会又不信【保罗说的，不可分门别类】呢？这不就是一个“玩弄辞藻的把戏”而已吗？口头对我们说【信圣经是神所默示】，骨子里却是不信的，这不是伪君子的作为吗？我相信你们有能力自己去明辨这是非！

所以期望神赐给你们智慧打破Dust兄所说的【教会组织】的迷思，也同时可以打破【说方言恩赐】的迷思。让我们可以一起迈向在磐石上建立主耶稣基督的集会，（这是主耶稣给我们的使命），一个遵主耶稣为王的集会，一个以主耶稣的吩咐（四福音书）为我们的教义的集会，我们可以承担的吩咐主耶稣已经交托给我们（约翰16：12），所以我们不再需要另立属于自己的教义给魔鬼留下【玩弄辞藻的地步】。

愿神继续荣耀神的名！阿门！

(A summary of chapter seven)

There are nine chapters in the book. This will be the last episode I will post here in Chinese-translation because I think that if you cannot see the secret hidden in the book of John chapter 14 in these five episodes, and if you cannot see that Church inclines towards out of context interpretation of [the Event of the Holy Spirit Baptism], then it is meaningless to say much about it anymore. I only pray to God that He would open your eyes to see what you are enabled to see. For my peace of mind, I would only request that the readers should not hold back and keeping silence. Please let me know if you see that my research is not complete because I had missed out certain important context. I am not super-being and I do not have the ability to inside you. Hence I am not able to know your deep-silence means “silence as agreeing” or you are silently protesting against my absurd analysis? Actually, you should realize that in the holy name of Lord Jesus Christ, there is nothing to hide from His light. Especially in pursuing the understanding of the original meaning of the original truth, we must stay on the right-path; therefore when you see that I am falling, please give me a hand to hold me up; likewise when I see that you are falling, I will pull you up. These would make the “new life” given to us by God when we believe in Christ whom He had sent more meaningful! I hope the readers would not hold your comment until God has made the stone open its mouth to talk which by the time it may be a little too late!

Recap from previous articles

During the Holy Spirit Baptism at the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit showed himself. It was a manifestation and it was not that the Holy Spirit had descended.  The incidence had indirectly proved to the apostles that [the Spirit of God was indeed omnipresence and filled all-in-all] (JER 23:24; EPH 1:23; Psalm 139:7-12; Proverb 15:3). If [God is omnipresence] is our premise, then, you should know that there is no reason for the Spirit of God who had filled all-in-all to descend to a place He had already existed.  You can see that from then onwards, even the apostles could not see the Spirit of God with their own eyes, but because of their strong faith they knew they were being immersed in the Spirit of God at all time. The promise of Lord Jesus [that He would be with them until the end time (MATT 28:20)] had become a real thing.

At the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit had given the gift of utterance to each of the apostles. At the moment when each of the apostles uttered an unknown tongues from each of the own mouth, they realized that they were not only immersed by the [omnipresent Spirit of God], the [Spirit of God was also inside them]. If God did not give the apostles the gift of utterance, [the apostles who were of little-faith] (MATT 8:26; 14:31; 16:18; 17:20; MARK 16:14; LUKE 12:28) would not be able to understand such truth. In other words, the manifestation of speaking with other tongues had shown to the apostles that the Spirit of God was in them which coincided with the promise of manifestation (in John 14).

The phenomena of the Holy Spirit Baptism at the Pentecost, had perfectly matched Lord Jesus’ predictions given in the book of John chapter 14 [I am coming to you (John 14:18), I in you (John 14:20), I manifest myself to him (John 14:21)]. With this understanding as our premise, then we know that the Holy Spirit Baptism at the Pentecost is not [the method God would use to pour His Spirit on to all flesh]. It is also not [the Spirit of God descending for the first time] because God is self-existing (EX 3:14, REV 1:8, 11; 22:13), God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all (JER 23:24; EPH 1:23; Psalm 139:7-12; Proverb 15:3). Although we cannot see the Holy Spirit with our naked eyes, but because of faith, we know that the Spirit of God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all. It is like the example of air. We cannot see the invisible-air. But when the air moves, the power of wind allows us to feel the existence of air. Therefore if there is someone who tries to tell you that “at the place where there is no wind, air is not in existence”, you immediately know that he is telling you a distorted-truth. With the same reasoning, if a person trying to tell you that “at the place where the Holy Spirit does not show His work, the Holy Spirit is not in existence”, you immediately know that it is another distorted-truth. Therefore you should be able to realize that our church’s understanding with respect to the Holy Spirit Baptism cannot fit the characteristics I had shown you. And such understanding cannot clearly explain the reason why some has the ability and some does not have the ability to speak-in-tongues. Think about it, if the Spirit of God is already inside us, yet the church is asking members to continue to ask God for the gift of Holy Spirit, isn’t it that this is an amusing and ridiculous act?

In fact, we should definitely know that [the word (FILLED) does not only mean “filling up”, it also has other meanings like “imbue, influence and supply”.（文章：“圣灵“，”降临”，“充满，”和“说方言”的关系 ）With this understanding as our premise then every one of us should have tried to pursue the next level of [being filled].  We should have asked our merciful heavenly Father to give us a new obedient heart, so that when the indwelling Holy Spirit tries to imbue, or influence or supply us with our lacking, we may have an obedient heart to accept the changes and to live a new-life. May be this is related to born-again in spirit! （文章：重生与得救 ）As such when we kneel down to pray, if we only ask God to fill-us-up, instead of asking God (to give us an obedient heart) so that we can be moved, influenced and being supplied with what we have been lacking to live a new-life, isn’t it a silly-act? Think about this premise, if [the Spirit who filled all-in-all], isn’t He will be able to fill your little body when He entered you? 

Church’s misleading teaching could explain the phenomenon we see in our church that the longer the believer staying in our church the more the believer becomes deteriorated spiritually, isn’t it? Don’t you see with your eyes from the fruits bore by the people in charge (the fruits from the Lin, Liang and CHE etc), they have been filled with the desire of king’s and political power and acted disgustingly. In the opposite, from their fruits we cannot see any signs of Lord Jesus’ commandments in them. Therefore we see that the only thing left in them is that [they could still lead the sermon with their mouth], but [their heart could not be moved to live with the manifestation of the truth in them]. Look like [they could not uphold the Lord] and looking at their behaviors, no one will say they are Lord’s disciples, isn’t it? These older believers are clear evidence that they are lacking the next level of [being filled]. In other words, we can see that whenever a person’s heart is being filled with distorted-truth, without the light from the truth, the darkness in him is so deep! Without using truth (distorted truth is not a truth anymore) girding his waist, without the righteousness as shield, without the gospel of peace, without the shield of faith, one cannot defend against Satan’s attack. (EPH 6:14-18) I pray to our merciful God that you are also able to see that under the Church’s inclination towards out of context interpretation of [the Event of the Holy Spirit Baptism] and the understanding of the truth is being distorted. This could explain why today our church could not defend ourselves from being attacked by Satan. I hope all of you can help to rectify the misunderstanding so that God’s truth will prevail and continue to protect our church in the journey of faith for the coming hundreds of years. In other words, I would say that whether you can see the truth and believe, it will not benefit me. Likewise, if you cannot see and cannot believe, it will not take anything away from me either. My conscience is cleared that whatever the time and ability and revelation that God has given me, I have tried my best to present the facts to you accordingly. Therefore in the holy name of God, I will not judge myself! I hope you can be likewise too!

With the above as our premise, there is only on question left, that is, did Lord Jesus tell us about when the Spirit of Christ or the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit will come into us?

“How” and “by what method” that God pour His Spirit onto all flesh?

Repeat what we know about God’s unique characteristics

God is self existing. (EX 3:14; REV 1:8, 11; 22:13)

God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all. (JER 23:24; EPH 1:23; Psalm 139:7-12, Proverb 15:3)

God is omniscience. (Psalm 33:13-15; 139:1-4; 147:4-5; ISA 46:9-10; 57:15; Job 37:16; Proverb 5:21; 1 John 1920)

God is omnipotence. (Gen 1:1-10; Job 38; 39; 42:2; JER 32:17; MATT 19:26; LUKE 137; REV 19:6)

The Counselor is the Holy Spirit (John 14:26). Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God (Psalm 51:10-11; 1-THESSA 4:8; 1-John 3:24; EPH 4:30). Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ (ROM 8:9; 1-PET 1:11). Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Son of God (GAL 4:6)

Lord Jesus does what the Father would want to do and says what the Father would want to say (A big and important premise)

John 5:119 Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 

John 5:21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,  

John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

John 5:36 But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish — the very works that I do — bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

John 8:28 Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

John 8:38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 

If the understanding we derive from researching the above verses is that [the work that Lord Jesus did was not his own work but was the work the heavenly Father would want to do; the words that Lord Jesus said was not his own words but the words that the heavenly Father would want to say], then you may be able to agree that whatever Lord Jesus had said was very significant because those were what the heavenly would say. Likewise, whatever Lord Jesus had done was very significant because those were the works the heavenly Father would do.

If this understanding is an important premise, then under this premise, what we have learned from the four books of Gospel, the words that Lord Jesus said and the works that Lord Jesus did were all what the heavenly Father would say and do. Sticking to this premise would allow us to have a different and yet correct understanding the reasons why Lord Jesus would say and do in the ways it were.

God had changed His plan

We understand that in the Old Testament time, God only selectively gave His Spirit to some selective few. Therefore not everybody received the gift of Holy Spirit.

However can God change His plan? The answer is a definite YES. Can anyone teach and advice God what to do in his own way? (Job 21:22) The answer is a definite NO!

God changed His plan for the first time: EZE 36:22-29. God told the Israelites that for the sake of His holy name, God will gather all the Israelites, cleanse them, give them new hearts and put His Spirit in them.

God changed His plan for the second time: Joel 2:28-29. (Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward. That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants. I will pour out My Spirit in those days). At this time, God will not only put His Spirit in all the Israelites, God will pour His Spirit onto all flesh.

However the above two passages does not contain enough information telling us how God’s promise will be fulfilled? It does not tell us when God will fulfill the promise? Going through the scripture in the Old Testament, we cannot identify the record of fulfillment. Therefore it tells us that God’s promise might have not been fulfilled yet.

Will Lord Jesus tell us how God will pour His Spirit on all flesh?

You can see that Lord Jesus had talked to his disciples about the gift of the Spirit of God in several different occasions. Would you say that the disciples believe every word that Lord Jesus had said to them? Would you think that the disciples understood every word that Lord Jesus had told them?

In reality, we know that the apostles could not believe or understand Lord Jesus (Pease refer to教会对【圣灵的浸事件】偏向断章取义的理解（三）] where it had mentioned about the disciples’ [little faith], [unbelief], and [misunderstood Lord Jesus]. With this as our premise, we should know that when the apostles drew any conclusion or making any comments, not all of those were correct. Therefore if we treat every single word the apostles concluded or commented like truth from God, then the more we study the Bible, the more confusion we get. Similarly, we know that [believe in Jesus Christ is the premise to be saved]. Yet it is a silly thing that we have done by not comparing what we have heard with Lord Jesus’ commandments. It is not God who would like to confuse us. It is we who ignorantly confuse ourselves. We are to be blame for our ignorance and not God.

(A) Asking

Asking for the Holy Spirit from Lord Jesus and from God

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

Luke 11:9-13 9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?  12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?  13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

Why asking from God?

Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. (Matt 7:6)

It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs. (Matt 15:23-28) 

Summary of important understanding from asking

(1) Lord Jesus was talking about asking for the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God; Lord Jesus did not tell his disciples to ask for his Spirit. Since we know the Spirit of God is [self-existing] [and filled all-in-all], therefore irrespective whether Lord Jesus was on earth or in heaven, the Spirit of God still filled all-in-all! In fact there was nothing wrong even if Lord Jesus tell his disciples to ask for His Spirit as the Spirit of Christ was also the Spirit of God. The Spirit of Christ could be in Jesus and filled all-in-all at the same time! Amen!

(2) There was no disclaimer from Lord Jesus that you could only ask for the Holy Spirit after Jesus was being glorified or ascended to heaven. Indeed, Lord Jesus had specially emphasized that “you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water” and “he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened”.

(3) Bible contains no record that the apostles had deeply believed Christ’s words and as such they had asked to receive the gift of Holy Spirit. This is a good proof which gives us a logical explanation on how much the apostles were of [little faith and unbelief].  The apostles [could not believe Christ’s words], or [they had misunderstood Christ’s intention]. Because of the unbelief and misunderstanding, the words of Christ had failed to communicate with them the intended messages and had no effect on the apostles.

(B) I in you

John 6:53-56 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.  54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.  56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

Lord Jesus’ first communication with the apostles had failed miserably. Later, Lord Jesus tried again to communicate with them. This time, Lord Jesus told them that he is the bread from heaven and truly can be eaten. In verse 6:56, Lord Jesus declared that “he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him”.

Summary of “I in him”

(1) What did “I in him” mean? Was it that Lord Jesus had entered his disciples physically? I don’t think so. It possibly meant to say that the Spirit of Christ was inside the disciples. If you have not forgotten that the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit, then it was possible that while Lord Jesus was standing in front of his disciples and at that same time the Spirit of Christ was inside the disciples, isn’t it?

(2) The same as in the asking, at this time Lord Jesus did not have a disclaimer saying that such thing would only happen only after he was being glorified or after his ascension.

(3) Did the apostles believe and understand what Lord Jesus had told them? The answer is no! The communication failed again.

(C) Living water

John 7:37-39 37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."  39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

This is what Lord Jesus had said: John 7:37, 38

This is what Apostle John had commented: John 7:39

Summary of “Living water”

(1) Similarly, in this passage, Lord Jesus was talking about receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit who was self-existing and filled all-in-all. Therefore whoever believed in Lord Jesus, he would believe Lord Jesus’ command. Therefore he would obey the commandments and asking for the gift from the heavenly Father and he would ask to eat Lord Jesus flesh and would ask to drink Lord Jesus’ blood. The word of Lord Jesus was spirit and was life (John 6:63). Therefore whoever did in accordance to Lord Jesus’ words would have the Spirit and would have the life.

(2) Similarly, Lord Jesus did not disclaim that this would only happen after he had been glorified or after his ascension and only at that time people could come to believe him and to receive the living water (the Holy Spirit).

(3) TJC believed with faith and emphasized that the comment from Apostles John was inspired by God and totally ignored the premise that the apostles whom had followed Lord Jesus for three years, they had believed Lord Jesus but at the same time they had shown that they were of [little faith], [they had unbelief] and [they often misunderstood Lord Jesus]. (I). Think about this, if we uphold Apostle John’s comment as [God inspired] and is a truth, then we also inadvertently overturn the premise that [the Spirit of God is self-existing and eternal] and [the Spirit of God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all]. Therefore our knowledge and understanding about God would be demolished and we have to start all over again to establish new knowledge about God. (II). If asking for the gift of the Holy Spirit could only be done after Lord Jesus’ resurrection and ascension to heaven, such critical information would be disclosed by Lord Jesus himself to his disciples. But from the passage [(A) Asking] to the passage [(B) I in you] and beyond, we see that at least Lord Jesus had two chances to put in his disclaimer but Lord Jesus had not done it. In human thinking, we would conclude that Lord Jesus had miserably missed his two chances. But this could not happen in Lord Jesus Christ that he had forgotten to tell the disciples what the heavenly Father would want him to communicate. Therefore a good possibility is that this was not the message Lord Jesus wanted to convey to his disciples. Therefore there was no reason for Lord Jesus to deliver such message. The comment was Apostle John’s own wrongful perception.

(D) John chapter 14, Lord Jesus’ prediction

Lord Jesus’ prediction: [I am going away] and [coming back to you], had been shared in the previous four articles. Let us read another verse which might have created ambiguity in our understanding of the event of the Holy Spirit Baptism.

(John 16:7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

Well, you may now laughing at me and say: “Now what Desert Rose? This verse was spoken by Lord Jesus Christ. You should have believed that the Holy Spirit would only descend after Lord Jesus had left this world.

Thank you very much for checkmating me! Actually when I wrote this particular chapter, I did think [God might have checkmated me] allowing me to realize what God really wanted and trying to awakening me from my dream! Desert Rose, don’t be silly anymore! The beautiful field outside your study room was soaked with warm sun and gentle breeze. The grass was green with flowers in full blossom and the little song-birds sung their sweet melodies in great harmony.  Let it be! God had created for us such wonderful scenery. Why should you hide in your study room? Go out and enjoy life! Why should you feel worry for God’s children instead? While I was very much dispirited, I instinctively prayed to God with my heart. Oh God, was this the final ending of the research? Would [those who had strong faith and who believed in YOU even without seeing the proof of speaking with other tongues] have to endure being ill-treated by [those who had little faith and who could only believe by seeing the gift of speaking with other tongues]?  YOU had led me in the past 5-6 years and now YOU were telling me all I had seen was just an illusion? Spiritually, I felt that our faithful God was staring at me solemnly. It was like God was watching me trying to see what I would have decided? Whether I would decide to be soaked by the warm sun in the green field or I would rather be shined with the sun light transfusing through the window glass? The same sunlight but two different end results! But I was freeze standing like a frozen ice figure in front of my computer!

The words from God appeared again in my heart. Then I think, if verse (John 16:7) is the only verse which Lord Jesus trying to communicate to us about the Holy Spirit, then what I thought I had seen was merely an illusion. It was a mirage! If this was true, then during the time when Lord Jesus was in this world, the Holy Spirit was not with Lord Jesus and did not fill all-in-all and throughout every corners of this earth! This message would totally overturn our premise of [God is self-existing and eternal]; [God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all]. Then I think it was impossible for Lord Jesus to forget such premise. We as human beings might forget what we could do but the Almighty God would not forget that He is self-existing and He has filled all-in-all, right?

In fact (John 16:7) was not the only verse Lord Jesus used to communicate with the disciples about the Holy Spirit. It was not a standalone statement. This statement was being given after Lord Jesus had given his prediction in John chapter 14:28 [I am going away] and [coming back to you]. Actually (John 16:7) and (John 14:28) are relating to each other. We know that because the apostles were [of little faith, they had unbelief and they had misunderstanding], Lord Jesus’ prediction had to happen right in front of the disciples’ eyes before they could believe. Therefore the prediction of [I am going away] and [coming back to you] had to happen in the exact order as predicted. Hence [I am going away] had to happen first then followed by [coming back to you], isn’t it? This was the same reason why [the Holy Spirit of Baptism at the Pentecost] only happened [after Lord Jesus’ ascension to heaven].

Seeing the complete picture, and the coherency, the understanding begins to make sense, isn’t it?

Therefore in (John 16:7), Lord Jesus was meant to tell the apostles that “I have told you before it comes to pass, that [I am going away] and [coming back to you]. Therefore it is to your advantage that I go away. Because of your [little faith, your unbelief and your misunderstanding], if you cannot see with your own eyes that my prediction has happened accordingly, you may not believe! (So do not hold on to me), the earlier I leave, the earlier you would be able to see that [I am coming back to you]. (Also you have to remember that Lord Jesus had to communicate with his disciples with human terms and not in spiritual terms.)

Halleluiah, praise the Lord! The secret that had been hidden in the book of John chapter 14 for over two thousand years had been made known to me. I am here to bear witnesses for Christ. Would you believe?

(E) Receive the Holy Spirit

(John 20:21-22)21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."  22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit”

Greek scholar said that verses John 20:21-22 means the apostles had received the Holy Spirit after the action was being completed. The Greek expert in our church said otherwise because the tense is future tense and therefore it does not mean the apostles had received the Holy Spirit at that time. I believe the reason our church has insisted against external Greek Scholar is because our church would like to support the theory that “The Holy Spirit descended the first time at the Pentecost”. Such theory is at odd with the premise of [God is self-existing and eternal] and [God is omnipresence and filled all-in-all] which apparently our church does not care.

My point is our church’s mentality is like the apostles before the Pentecost. Because of their little faith and unbelief, the apostles who were with Lord Jesus [could not believe things that their eyes could not see]. Therefore the apostles did not believe that Lord Jesus had the power like the Almighty heavenly Father and had the power to give them [the Spirit of God]. Lord Jesus had tried to communicate with his disciples with word-of-action and the communication failed one more time!

Conclusion of chapter seven

(John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.")

The apostles believed Lord Jesus Christ. But at the same time, the apostles were [of little faith, had unbelief, and misunderstood Lord Jesus]. The incidence that Thomas could not believe other apostles’ testimony was a good example. I do hope that when you hear such testimony you can [deeply believed it]. I hope you will not fall into the stage of apostles’ unbelief but rather you would enter the stage of apostles’ strong faith!

Lord Jesus was the Word of God who had become flesh. (John 1:1, 14) In English it is translated as “Word”. In the original Greek Language it is “LOGOS” which means communication. The meaning of communication is far beyond plain word. Let me repeat the example. I may use ten of thousand words to talk to you. However if those words just fall on to you and the words does not enter into your heart, you will not be able to receive the message I have tried to communicate with you. We say that our communication has broken down. Lord Jesus had come to communicate with us the messages that God would like us to understand. May be we are self-inflicting by [getting the opposite meaning, or distorting the truth, or twisting the fact], or it may be because of [Satan’s attack], the messages that God would like to communicate with us had been darkened. As long as the believers of Christ could not response to the calling from Christ, to make Lord Jesus our King but we rather have a worldly king (church central organization as king) to rule over us, then Satan will succeed in bringing more people to accompany him in the hell with unquenchable fire.

Lord Jesus had communicated with us, telling us how God would pour His Spirit on to all flesh

The Holy Spirit Baptism incidence happened at the full day of the Pentecost was solely for the fulfillment of Lord Jesus’ prediction in the book of John chapter 14. Therefore it was not the method God would use to pour His Spirit on to all flesh. Comparing all the above five methods (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), and trying to identify which of the method would be utilized by God to pour His Spirit on to all flesh, we can see that Lord Jesus had clearly communicated with us that either (A) and/or (B) would be the method. The difference between the two is that in method (A) one may not feel that one has received the Spirit of God not because God will not fulfill His promise and the Spirit of God is not omnipresence but because of one’s little faith. However in (B) when one has decided to partake in the Holy Communion, one will surely know one has received the Spirit of Christ and Lord Jesus has lived in him. However whether the person could be imbued, influenced and his lacking being made-whole by the Spirit of God allowing him to achieve a higher level of being-filled-with-the-Holy-Spirit and be able to live a new-life, depends very much in how strong his faith is.

Shattering the myths of [the spiritual gift of speaking with other tongues]

May God give you the ability to see and perceive, to listen and understand. Be able to [perceive and understand] the mystery of God’s salvation plan (1 COR 1:18-31; 2:1-16), in the heart of those who belong to God, such mystery is no more a secret. (John 4:22 you worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.) If we know the God we worship, how could we still insist that God is a mystery to us?

 

I would certainly encourage and caution you to be defensive so that you may not fall due to your good confidence. We are in flesh and may not have the capability to understand fully the unfathomable God whether to the portion that [God has revealed to us] or to the portion that [God has not revealed to us]. Indeed, with respect to the portion [God has revealed to us], we may not be able to fully comprehend all of them even if we diligently researching those truths. Therefore be cautious not to be lured by others trying to redirect you into exploring [the portion of God which God has not revealed to us] because those are the portions that we could not bear (John 16:12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now). Now we know Lord Jesus was the mystery of God’s salvation plan, therefore if we diligently obey Lord Jesus’ commandments, in this world we may have new-life and in heaven we may have the eternal-life. This is the promise given to all those who believe Him, Amen!

Unfortunately, in order to legitimatize [schism of the limbs of Christ] our church has inclined to interpret-out-of-context. Our church has perverted Apostle Paul’s teaching to the Corinthians Saints who had tried to correct their wrongful understanding with respect to the gift of speaking with unknown tongues (使徒保罗分析哥林多圣徒“说方言”的问题). You are aware that our church has proclaimed that [Bible is God inspired] (2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness), aren’t you? Then why our church could not believe [Apostle Paul’s proclamation that there should be no schism]? Aren’t TJC become a hypocrite by doing such self-contradiction to our own beliefs and teachings? TJC proclaims to all [Bible is given by inspiration of God], but in actual fact TJC has also acted in the opposite manner, isn’t this a hypocrite? I believe the readers have the ability to discern! (Please does not judge but discern!)

Therefore, I personally hope that God may give you the wisdom to shatter [the myth of church-organization] as described by brother Dust. At the same time, I hope that we can also shatter [the myth of the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues]. Then we may have the chance of building the assembly on the rock as demanded by Lord Jesus Christ. (This is the mission given to us by Lord Jesus). This assembly will only have King-Jesus as the King. This assembly will obey all Lord Jesus’ commandments (as given in the books of four Gospel) as if they are the assembly’s Doctrines. The commandments that we could bear had been given to us (John 16:12). Hence we do not need to establish human interpretation as church’s doctrines leaving huge-room to be manipulated by Satan making the church become a hypocrite.

May God continue to glorify His name! Amen!
