Truths God Restored through Herbert W. Armstrong Page 3  

Only those whom God the Father calls and draws to Him can be converted now

No other church knows that or believes it. That's another truth restored to the Church through Mr. Armstrong. None of us had ever heard that before, except as we got it through Mr. Armstrong. Only those God chooses and calls now can come in and become part of the firstfruits. Satan has deceived the whole world, and the Church is called out of the world.

The Resurrection to Judgment, the Great White Throne Judgment

God has a plan to save those who have not had an opportunity for salvation and who are now dead in their graves. They have not had the Holy Spirit. Their time is coming. But our time comes first, and we have to fight the devil, and they won't.

The Millennium

The Kingdom of God will rule nations on earth, and Christ and the saints will rule and bring prosperity to the entire earth. The Church of God (Seventh Day) understood the time duration, but, because they did not adequately grasp the full meaning of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, they knew little in the 1930's of what the Millennium would be like. Salvation will be open to all for the first time since Adam sinned and God closed off the tree of life.

The Holy Spirit Coming Into Us Only Begets Us

It opens our minds so we can understand the coded book, the Bible. Eye has not seen nor ear heard the things God has in store for us, described briefly in the Bible. God does reveal them to His Church by His Spirit that resides in us. Without that Spirit we cannot understand the Bible. Spiritual knowledge comes from the Bible, but by the Holy Spirit.

We Are Only Begotten Now, Not Born Again

We are heirs, not yet inheritors. The Holy Spirit begets us as children of God, but we are not yet born.
