Today, most Christians claim to have received the Holy Spirit. This has become so normalized that it is assumed as a given. However, if we rephrase the question and ask, “Do you truly believe you possess the Spirit of God?”, many Christians are suddenly unable to confidently assert that they have received the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, if we ask, “Have you received the Spirit that comprehends all of God’s creation, ideal, and providence?”, not a single believer can answer affirmatively. Even pastors, when questioned about whether they possess the Spirit that penetrates all divine visions, providence, and truth, betray themselves through their reliance on the countless human books and writings stored in their bookshelf, which they use to prepare their sermons. This alone is clear evidence that the anointing of true insight, the true Holy Spirit, is absent and false.
Despite the complete lack of biblical evidence or fruits of the Spirit, tens of thousands still claim to have received the Holy Spirit. Yet, very few believers examine and discern—based on the Bible—whether the spirit they have received is truly the Spirit of Christ who bears the love of the cross, flowing from God, the source of love. Instead, most blindly believe the ignorant words of pastors who urge them to believe unconditionally. They accept as valid all forms of faith, hope, gifts, tongues, prophecies, testimonies, prayers, and sermons—even when these are not recorded in Scripture or have no biblical precedent. Few believers recognize that such things are heretical, hypocritical, adulterous, lawless, and antichrist.
Presbyterianism, Methodism, Holiness, and Baptist denominations are treated as though they are the biblical standard or the center of God’s truth. This assumption has been so widely accepted and institutionalized that even the rampant corruption, depravity, lawlessness, deceit, evil deeds, and heresies arising within these denominations are overlooked. In reality, they continually produce more and more heresies. Though these groups claim to be Word-centered, Christ-centered, and God-centered, they are in fact the very platforms from which today’s Christianity breeds endless heresies and false teachings.
The doctrines, sermons, and ideologies that portray these denominations as central to Christ and God have defiled even the holy will of God and the love and blood of Christ. They produce false teachings, false testimonies, false gifts, false spirits, and false tongues, all imitating and mimicking the fruits and evidence of Christ. What they actually promote are shamanistic incantations, sorceries, spirit-calling rituals, and the witchcraft of demons masquerading as spiritual gifts.
The severity of this deception has already turned countless Christians into fanatics and blind followers. Though their titles and outward claims appear to be based on Scripture, the interpretations and applications of the Word have become completely detached from salvation. Instead, their focus is on worldly success and happiness. Their prayers and beliefs are centered on their own worldly desires and goals, and not on faith rooted in the holy will of God or the love of the cross.
Consequently, many believers, instead of pursuing the life, faith, and hope that follow the love of the cross—fulfilling the highest commandments and decrees of the Word—seek only personal satisfaction, joy, peace, and comfort. Even while repenting and reflecting, they fall back into sin out of self-interest and gain. Their faith is one that accumulates sin and greed through their wicked habits, and this has become the standard of modern Christianity.
Many Christians today are under a grave misconception: salvation is given only to those who bear the perfect fruit of Christ. In other words, the evidence of salvation and resurrection is found in the complete fruit borne through all the labor and effort required to reach salvation, according to the Word. This is found in feeding and serving poor and needy brothers and sisters with love and care, fostering mutual service and self-sacrifice. It is in living the life of Christ and reflecting God’s nature—who is love—and becoming a true child of salvation.
Thus, without the love of the cross, which is God’s nature, any faith, Word, Sabbath, apostle, priest, tithe, offering, tongue, prophecy, wisdom, gift, prayer, hope, or love is nothing but enmity, heresy, antichrist, and deception. They are false tongues, false prophecies, false gifts, false wisdom, false spirits, false testimonies, false faith, false hope, and false love. Those who attempt to serve God while holding onto the world and its material things end up teaching lessons and inspirations rooted in worldly success and happiness that are entirely unrelated to salvation.
They label suffering, grief, despair, and hardship as “sacrifice” and “comfort,” but in reality, they only encourage people to chase after the flesh and the world even more. This so-called “hope” and “encouragement” they preach is nothing more than worldly motivation to increase sin and greed. It is merely the deceptive idea of “enduring hardship to achieve later success and happiness.”
This worldly doctrine of eventual reward, disguised as grace, forms the basis of their shameful testimonies, life stories, and success stories, which they proclaim as truth, faith, and the Word. The result is a world where people teach and learn worldly inspirations and lessons as if they were the mysterious and divine truths of God’s kingdom, united with the love of the cross.
Because of those who attempt to serve both God and the world, this corruption was inevitable. False spirits, false faith, false tongues, false prophecies, false gifts, and false testimonies have long surpassed their limits, to the point of outright disregarding the Word of God. These people have now come to assert that their own teachings and interpretations are the Word and God Himself. As a result, most churches today only selectively believe in a few verses that suit their taste, abusing Scripture while ignoring the entirety of God’s Word.
Their faith is not the true faith of Christ that looks at one’s sin and weakness in the light of God’s Word and pleads for help. Instead, they abuse and misuse the Word to justify their worldly and fleshly sins. Like children with unbalanced diets, they selectively consume and interpret Scripture to suit their own desires, using those few verses to support their claims, while completely ignoring the parts of Scripture that contradict them. This distorted, forceful interpretation is nothing more than delusion and deception—a false spirit.
The Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) never dwells with those who belong to the world and the flesh—who store up only sin and greed and oppose the love of the cross that leads to salvation. Those who belong to the world and the flesh make excuses and justifications, teaching others to serve both God and material things. Those who believe in God solely for their worldly dreams, desires, and happiness merely use God and Christ as tools to fulfill their own ambitions.
But the Holy Spirit—God’s true Spirit—can never be present with those who refuse to abandon their worldly lives and ideals to follow the life of Christ, aiming for salvation alone, upholding the highest laws and commandments, sacrificing all things for the poor and needy, and walking in the love of the cross.
Countless churches and pastors today are committing fraud in the name of the Holy Spirit, using it to deceive, pressure, and extort believers. They teach such things as if they were the sacred Word of God. These grotesque acts are no different from the Judaism of old, which created false worship and doctrines to justify stealing the tithes and offerings meant for the poor and needy. These doctrines, crafted by so-called pastors bound by self-interest and materialism—hirelings and thieves—have produced the false spirit and false anointing that we see today.
….Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.(1 Corinthians 14 : 12~25)
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.(1 Corinthians 14 : 1~5)
The sign of one who possesses the Spirit of Christ—the Holy Spirit—is prophecy. Whoever does not have prophecy does not possess the Spirit of Christ. And if someone does not even understand what this means, then that person is 100% not someone who has the Holy Spirit. However, in today’s churches, the reality is that speaking in tongues—something that, according to Scripture, is only a sign for unbelievers—is falsely taught and accepted as a definitive sign of having received the Holy Spirit. This delusion has gone so far as to become normalized and institutionalized in most churches.
The tongues that these people speak are not the language of the kingdom of God but rather incantations that summon demons and evil spirits. They are a form of magical divination(sorcery) aimed at receiving blessings of prosperity in line with their selfish hopes, desires, and ambitions. In other words, even unbelievers and idol worshipers long for the same worldly success and prosperity, and now such sorcery is being disguised as the holy gift of tongues from God.
But no gift from God can be received by pursuing worldly desires, ambitions, and goals. The reason God created mankind in the beginning was to make humans into complete beings fit to become His children. That is why God sent His Word, His visions, His values, the Sabbath, holy days, apostles, priests, pastors, tithes, offerings, spiritual gifts, prayer, prophecy, faith, hope, love—and ultimately Christ Himself. All of this was to bestow upon humanity the love of the cross, which is the nature of God.
Therefore, any value, ideal, or belief that is not united with the love of the cross—God’s nature—is dead faith, an enemy of God, opposed to Him, and antichrist. Consequently, any faith or spirit that does not pursue the hope of Christ and live out the life of Christ, regardless of who holds it, is a false spirit, false tongue, and false faith.
Due to their worldly roots, many people seek to serve both God and material things, and this has led to distortion and coercion. They believe in doctrines they have twisted to suit their own preferences, and in doing so, they have become more evil than even the unbelievers who sin without knowing God. They have brought dishonor to the holy name of God and made the love of the cross a subject of ridicule and contempt among the world.
The wickedness, lies, lawlessness, corruption, and selfishness rampant among today’s churches and pastors have exceeded all limits. They no longer shine as light or act as salt in a dark and sinful world. Rather, they present an outward appearance of holiness and gentleness, cloaked in language that seems righteous and kind—yet they are fully armed with shallow human tactics and the polished rhetoric of diplomacy. Like past dictators who ruled with absolute power and demanded blind obedience, these pastors and churches are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are cunning foxes in the desert, as Scripture warns.
Most churches and pastors today are becoming increasingly corrupt and depraved, inevitably headed for destruction along with the wicked world. These pastors promote doctrines and ideologies not found in the Bible, all to satisfy their own greed. They twist and distort the Word of God, discarding every command that calls for obedience and action. Their faith is shallow, accepting only doctrines that suit their desires, and they dishonor the holy will of God and the love of the cross.
Far from being examples of righteousness, they behave differently inside and outside the church. Their words do not match their actions, and their outer appearance does not match their inner hearts. Living in duplicity and with divided hearts, they fall repeatedly into sin despite repenting and reflecting. They cannot escape the mire of iniquity. Their shallow excuses and self-righteousness, meant to justify their sin, have become their god and their faith.
Thus, most churches today are places where such people teach and learn. And for such churches, pastors, and believers, the Day of Judgment has been prepared.
Because of their greed and pursuit of personal gain, they have corrupted the gospel to serve both God and the world. As a result, they cannot receive the true gifts, true tongues, and true prophecy that come through union with love and with Christ. Since they do not have prophecy—the sign of anointing and the Holy Spirit—they instead bring in the sorcery and rituals practiced by shamans and spirit mediums who serve false gods, disguising these things as the holy gifts and tongues of God.
This deception has spread like yeast throughout the earth and across countless churches. It has become so normalized and legitimized that anyone who does not practice these counterfeit tongues—or anyone who practices the true tongues of God—is now labeled a heretic.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.(1 Corinthians 2 : 10)
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.(1 John 2 : 27)
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?(Isaiah 40 : 13~14)
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.(1 John 2 : 20)
If you ask, “Have you received the Holy Spirit that fully comprehends all of God’s creation, providence, vision, and mysteries?”—not a single pastor on this earth can confidently answer yes.
Then why is it that this false Holy Spirit—one with no evidence, fruit, or result based on the Word of God—is reigning over the entire world and all its churches?
Will you truly believe in the Holy Spirit that, according to the Scriptures, penetrates and understands all things?
Or will you continue to believe in the false spirit proclaimed by churches and pastors, which contradicts the Spirit described in Scripture and bears no fruit or evidence?
This is your freedom to choose.
But remember: on the day when you are held accountable for that choice, the judgment and destruction that await will be beyond imagination.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.(John 14 : 17)
If one were asked, “Do you possess the Spirit of God—the source of love, who comprehends and governs all things?”—and cannot boldly and confidently answer, without even the slightest twinge of conscience or shame, that they possess the Spirit of truth, who is the source of love and who comprehends all things,
then it is undoubtedly a false spirit, a false gift, a false repentance, and a false rebirth.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.(1 John 4 : 5~6)
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.(Colossians 1 : 26~29)
The corruption of trying to serve both God and the world—along with material things—inevitably leads to lawlessness, falsehood, and coercion.
Thus, those who possess the spirit of the world, not the fruit or evidence of the Holy Spirit, are actually drawing in the abominable and profane sorcery, divination, and witchcraft of shamans and spirit mediums who serve false gods.
This is a detestable anointing and a profane spirit—one that is false and not of God.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. And God is love.
Therefore, those who do not pursue the hope of Christ through the love of the cross do not have the Holy Spirit. What they possess is a dead faith—a worldly spirit disguised as the Holy Spirit, a false tongue and false prophecy born of Satan and demons. Anyone who tries to serve both God and the world, along with material things, can never receive the Holy Spirit. Why? Because God’s holy will is to make us His perfect children by forming in us a beautiful temple of the heart that resembles Him—a heart that follows the love of the cross and sets Christ’s hope as its goal. Those who reject and oppose this holy will—those who belong to the world and the flesh—are not recipients of the blood and love of the cross. Thus, those who belong to the world are merely seekers of worldly things; they are not true Christians who pursue the love of the cross according to God’s holy will.
There are many churchgoers, but no true Christians; many pastors, yet no true shepherds who care for the sheep—this is the confession of one elder, and it reflects the reality of Christianity today. Therefore, those who are corrupted, trying to serve both God and the world and material wealth, and who do not walk in the love of the cross or aim for the hope of Christ, and who neither pray nor live in true communion with Christ—anyone who teaches or learns to pray in pursuit of worldly desires, ambitions, and dreams can never receive any of God’s true gifts, power, tongues, prophecy, the Holy Spirit, or wisdom. What they have is nothing but falsehood, distortion, and coercion—worldly leaven clothed as “teaching” and “inspiration,”leading them to become pastors and apostles who masquerade as God’s messengers but are in truth servants of the antichrist.
Prayers that are not united with the love of the cross and that are driven by worldly dreams, ambitions, and desires only increase sin and greed. Such prayers are rooted in vain faith and dead faith. These dead faiths, which do not produce eternal life but only lead to death, remain trapped in the pit of sin—endlessly repenting and reflecting, yet returning to sin again and again. Because they confuse this foolish pattern of regret and reflection with true repentance, which was granted the forgiveness of Christ, they live a faith and life that can never break free from sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.(John 8 : 34)
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.(James 2 : 10~11)
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(Romans 1 : 28~32)
Because they belong to the world, they always commit sin according to their own gain and interests—and everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. How, then, can there be forgiveness of sins for those whose lives are testified not by love, but by sin? The resurrection and salvation of Christ are teachings that follow the love of the cross. Therefore, we too must carry our own cross, and according to the holy will of God, love, cherish, and serve our brothers and neighbors as ourselves—upholding the greatest law and the highest commandment. Only through this love of the cross do we receive the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of resurrection.
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?(James 2 : 15~20)
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.(Ezekiel 33 : 31)
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the source of love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.(Romans 13 : 4~5)
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.(Nehemiah 9 : 20)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.(Galatians 5 : 22~23)
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.(John 15 : 9~14)
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.(Hebrews 13 : 15~16)
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.(2 Corinthians 9 : 7~9)
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.(Psalms 112 : 6~9)
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.(Proverbs 14 : 31~32)
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.(Hosea 6 : 6)
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.(Matthew 9 : 13)
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.(Mark 12 : 33~34)
