Hello Maria G,
You are right that some AoG can do evil and some can do good. This is how we look at baptized Catholics. However, the AoG I have met all verbally exalt themselves into the Kingdom of God and verbally slam the door on Catholics outside regardless of the evil their membership commits or the good Catholics do. Most AoG that I have met go by this Non biblical “I accept Jesus as my personal Saviour” to separate heaven and hell goers themsleves rather than let Jesus judge all of mankind on judgement day.
I went to a AoG service with the minister. I had shivers of fear run up and down my spine. I firmly believe this was the Holy Spirit telling me to get out of there.
The Pharisees did not allow God to judge them into the Kingdom of God. The Pharisees exalted and separated themselves out from others as God’s Chosen few in possession of the Kingdom. The Pharisees plotted the death of Jesus to protect their separation among men as God’s chosen few in possession of God’s Kingdom. This is the same evil I feel when dealling with the AoG.
The Pharisees used circumcision and baptism to verbally force their way into the Kingdom of God and then slamed the door in others faces. This is what I see AoG doing.
NAB MAT 23:12
Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, but whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. "Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you frauds! You shut the doors of the kingdom of God in men’s faces, neither entering yourselves nor admitting those who are trying to enter. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you frauds! You travel over sea and land to make a convert, but once he is converted you make a devil of him twice as wicked as yourselves.**NAB MAT 3:8 **
(John the Baptist speaks)
They were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins. When he saw that many of the Pharisees and Sadducees were stepping forward for this bath, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who told you to flee from the wrath to come? Give some evidence that you mean to reform. Do not pride yourselves on the claim, ‘Abraham is our father.’ I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these very stones.”**NAB LUK 16:16 The Law. **
"The law and the prophets were in force** until John. From his time on, the good news of God’s kingdom has been proclaimed, and people of every sort are forcing their way in.** It is easier for the heavens and the earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a letter of the law to pass. NAB MAT 11:11
"I solemnly assure you, history has not known a man born of woman greater than John the Baptizer. Yet the least born into the Kingdom of God is greater than he. From John the Baptizer’s time until now the kingdom of God has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force." NAB MAT 21:37
"Finally he sent his son to them, thinking, “They will respect my son.’ When they saw the son, the tenants said to one another, 'Here is the one who will inherit everything. Let us kill him and then we shall have his inheritance!” With that they seized him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him."
NAB MAT 12:14
When the Pharisees were outside they began to plot against him to find a way to destroy him.
Peace in Christ,
