FLIRT TO CONVERT
Okay, what do you think? |
Interesting still today as it was then.

Agree Berg was the worse false prophet I knew of. Not everyone in his group followed his wicked ways. I met some of them the first time our street witnessing group went out.
They started out hard line judgment and total discipleship to Jesus. This was the way they witnessed early on.
They believed that baptism in Jesus name and the Spirit baptism were both essential to be a "full Christian".
We were very much grieved when we found out what was going on behind the scenes. None of the women of the group tried "flirty fishing" with us.

Amen.
I have many friends who knew this movement in its early days. Post Tribulation was preached, Jesus name baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with speaking in other tongues. But the flirty fishing came later, when Berg realized his authority was going unchecked, and unquestioned. With most cults the prime engine is the people. They are the only ones who place the leader or leaders in power. They are the main ones who police for heretics, and ne'er do wells (those who are slacking in the program). Berg was a full blown devil, and it was his daughter, and the main leadership who fueled the monster. Until the feds crashed down on them.

Re: Flirt To Convert???
There were those in the group who were shocked when Bergs doctrines of sex began to come out. Linda Meisner was prominent in Dave Wilkersons group in the 60's and was one of the founders of the Jesus movement joined the group taking a number of her people with her.
She was leading a "colony" of the group in Europe when she first heard these doctrines. She was horrified and taught her converts against it. The leadership that remained summoned her to a meeting and told her she had to get with the program.
She left and never saw them again. She repented and stayed in Europe for 40 years. She recently wrote a book where she addresses the matter and her deep regrets for bringing people into the group.
The leader of our group first accepted the post trib rapture from them. They tried to recruit him and our group. The leader told us they did not see Berg as the "pope" and were following the Lord. He never admitted to sexual sins to us.
I first found out about Berg when the Lord led me to read an article in a Jesus People newspaper some months later.

Post trib is not "the" important doctrine. Wow. I am partial preterist, but it's not THE doctrine to me. Why all this comparison to post trib? .

Its part of the Children Of God story and part of my story. We know Dom is not post trib. Its just part of the story.
But yes it is an important doctrine. Any doctrine of Jesus is important.
