    The Gospel of Water and Spirit is a great blessing to those of us who are now living in this generation.

    The Gospel of Water and Spirit is a great blessing to those of us who are now living in this generation. Christianity has for decades been misled by the Nicene Creed, which the devil led its crafters not to include the baptism of Jesus and thus making it difficult for human kind to know and return to the true God. We are now blessed to have returned to the true faith, the gospel of water and the spirit which is the only truth and true God`s righteousness. I`m happy to be sinless through having faith in the gospel of water and spirit and to be among those who will inherit eternal life together with all those who are chosen, children of God and who are proudly spreading the gospel of water and spirit on this earth. Be blessed Rev Paul C. Jong together with all the co-workers of the New Life Mission. Dan Kowinyo, Kenya

    We Are The Servants Who Believe In The Gospel Of The Water And The Spirit

    Hello, This is a review of the book entitled "We Are The Servants Who Believe In The Gospel Of The Water And The Spirit" by Rev. Paul C. Jong.In the preface of this book, the author encourages the reader to consider the consequences of their beliefs before deciding what to believe—just as we would carefully think through a practical task, considering its feasibility and the direct effects it would have before proceeding. However, the consequence of going down the wrong path in matters of faith is far more detrimental to our souls than failure in practical matters. Therefore, we should all carefully consider the most important questions surrounding our salvation before deciding what to believe.As you listen to this review and hopefully read this book, I ask you to consider whether you still have sin in your heart even though you believe in Jesus. If the answer is yes, then do you think you will be permitted entry into Heaven with sin? Do you believe that your repentance prayers have washed away even just one of your sins, and if not, could this be due to the fact that the doctrine you currently believe in is not 100% accurate according to Scripture?Ultimately, the fundamental question is whether you believe in the Bible as the Word of God and consider His judgment to be just and true. Do you believe that the wages of sin is death? Do you depend on God wholly to be saved, recognizing your inability not to commit sin, or are you stubbornly fighting against your sinful human nature while remaining outside of the righteousness of God?The message in this book will help you to look within and honestly address all these questions surrounding salvation, bringing you to the point where, as it says in Romans 3:19, that “every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God.” It is at this point that God reveals the mystery of salvation of the gospel of the water and the Spirit to the hearts of those who are truly poor in spirit.In Chapter 1, the author talks about the importance of recognizing oneself as a grave sinner who, by nature, is incapable of obeying God’s law and is therefore deserving of God’s judgment in hell. Those who, like King David, mourn over their true sinful nature are wise before God. They confess, “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.” (Psalm 51:5)Such people, rather than trying to become perfect in their deeds, on the contrary, beg the mercy of God, saying, “Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.”Whereas those who only see themselves as partial sinners, who sin only a little, such people never come before Jesus for redemption even though they attend church regularly and praise Him loudly for all to see. God says that they are unwise in spiritual matters as they do not seek His mercy, but the praise of other sinners. The Bible likens them to the scribes and Pharisees who reject the baptism of Jesus, in favour of their own righteousness.But it was Jesus’ baptism that saved us as this was the method by which the sins of the world were laid upon the body of the Lord, as it is written in Matthew 3:15, “Jesus answered and said to him (John), ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed Him.”In Chapter 2, the author expresses the urgency of accepting God’s invitation to be born again and enter the Kingdom of Heaven by using the parable in Luke 14:12–24 as an example, where a certain man prepared a great supper, but those who were originally invited began to make excuses as to why they could not attend.They deemed their practical responsibilities more important than attending the supper resulting in them missing out on salvation. The invitations were then offered to those who, in contrast, judged themselves unworthy to even be invited. Spiritually speaking, these people who had nothing with which they could repay for His invitation were exactly the type of people who are the most worthy of attending of the feast and ultimately, enter God’s Kingdom.Using this parable, the author expresses the urgency with which God longs to find His true believers, to redeem them with the gospel of the water and the Spirit. He says, “Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind… Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Luke 14:21 & 23)Whether you choose to accept the invitation or not, God’s house will be filled. It will be filled with people who recognize their true sinful nature and admit that they are unworthy of even being invited, as they have nothing with which to repay the Lord for His kindness and mercy. God is seeking such people to attend His great supper, which represents becoming born again of water and the Spirit and entering the Kingdom of God.The main topics in the 3rd and 4th chapters focus on the importance of denying ourselves in order to be able to follow the Lord. To become a true disciple of Jesus, we must actively take up our own cross and have the faith to hate even our own family members if they attempt to come in between us and the will of the Lord in our lives, as Jesus said in Luke 14:26, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”We must not only leave behind those who try to obstruct the preaching of the gospel, but more importantly, we must first deny our own pride, our own righteousness, and our own thoughts if we have any hope of having the strength of faith to be able to leave behind everything else.The message in Chapter 5 is that of consideration and calculation. We are encouraged to examine our own faith and decide whether we can still follow the Lord if we get pulled in other directions from the desires of those around us.And if we succumb to the will of others through not having set our hearts right to follow God, the Lord warns us that we will become like unseasoned salt that is not fit for purpose and will be thrown out by both men and God, having become useless to both (Luke 14:34–35).The author explains that we cannot follow the Lord by our own volition, as our human willpower is weak even when we have the best of intentions, like the Apostle Peter, who adamantly declared to Jesus that he would never betray Him, only to end up denying Him three times out of weakness.Ultimately, as the born again, even though we have received the Holy Spirit and have become the children of God, we cannot trust in our own determination to remain at one with God. To follow Jesus we must empty our hearts completely, as it’s only by faith in Him that we can do all things. As it is written in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”Sermon 6 speaks of the lengths that God will go to to find His lost sheep. Of the many Christians who believe in the Lord, the true lost sheep equate to one person in a hundred as spoken about in Luke chapter 15.These are those who have a sin-sick heart and guilt-ridden conscience. Although God has saved the whole world through the baptism and blood of Jesus, it’s only the lost sheep whom God is looking for, and He will not stop until He has found them all, healed their sin-sick hearts that have been in constant agony from the burden of their sins, and clothed them in His righteousness with the gospel truth of the water and the Spirit.Sermon 7 speaks of the parable of the prodigal son who was embraced into the arms of his father after squandering all his money. In the end, he came to his senses, humbled himself, and repented of his faithlessness.His father therefore was happy to receive him back into the household, much to the dissatisfaction of the eldest son who remained faithful. The parable of the prodigal son speaks to the fact that there is no amount of material fulfillment that can bring true joy to our hearts.Furthermore, there is no peace to be found in the religions of this world, and the prodigal son, having realized this, returned to his father to give a full account of his transgressions in the hopes that he could at least be made like one of his hired servants.Like the prodigal son, the born again were also inherently lost to this world, spent everything trying to find peace and happiness, and in the end, by the grace of God, we were exhausted and returned to Him through faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.As it continues on to explain in Sermon 8, we all became separated from God due to the sin of Adam and lived a miserable, unstable, and empty life. It’s not as though the rich could find happiness while those who were poor were miserable due to their lack of material prosperity.But everyone, rich and poor alike, wastes their lives in the pursuit of achieving their ambitions, whether small or large, yet still no one can find lasting happiness without the righteousness of God.King Solomon admonished us, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). As such, those who admit that they have wasted their whole lives chasing useless, selfish endeavors, sinning against God and their fellow man, before we lose our faculty of mind and are seized by the world, let us return to the Lord and receive the true spiritual inheritance—to become a child of God, able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.The message in Chapter 9 is centered around teaching the born again the importance of casting aside our own righteousness lest we become arrogant like the firstborn son in the parable of the prodigal son.The firstborn son represents those who have already received the grace of God, yet have now come to think of themselves as good and virtuous all on their own. Such born again can come to look down on new believers like the younger prodigal son who had made many mistakes in their walk of faith, but in fact, such people like the prodigal son are much loved by the Lord because they admit their wrongdoings and desire to remain and work for the Lord within the church.The author warns us not to become comfortable with our own thoughts just because we have walked with the Lord for a long time. If we lose sight of why we needed to believe in Jesus in the first place, we will be deceived into thinking that we are better than everyone else, and this will lead us to judge and criticize the brethren.Nobody comes to Jesus in a good and righteous state, and furthermore, nobody becomes a better and more virtuous person over time. God holds dear all His children who remember their previously fallen state and who, as a result, boast in His righteousness alone.Throughout Chapters 10 and 11, the born again saints are reminded that they are to live with the hope for the eternal Kingdom of God. In order to lay hold of that hope, they must serve the gospel faithfully and wisely in this age, searching for the lost sheep, using all the spiritual and material resources that God provides.And finally, the message through Chapters 12–13 is that of encouragement. Knowing that we will be hated by the world for speaking the truth of the Gospel, the author reminds us that since the time of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, many people are pressing in to hear the good news of salvation, as it says in Matthew 11:21 and Luke 16:16: “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the Kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.”As such, we must continue on the narrow path, spreading the righteousness of God even if we are hated by our family and friends, because ultimately God is looking for His lost sheep, and it is through His faithful servants in His church that He finds them, rejoices, and carries them home.This is the unchanging will of God no matter how many people may seek to stand against it. Let us together fulfill this perfect will of the Lord together with His help.Amen.

    Return to the gospel of the Water and the Spirit

    While going to church for many years, I never realized that I had fallen in the midst of false doctrines, due to lack of knowledge about Jesus `baptism and blood on the Cross. However, the teaching of Rev. Paul C. Jong have opened my eyes and made me truly understand and recognize the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. Upon reading this book, Return to the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit,  I have come to understand that being born again according to the bible is not physical but it`s about Spiritual change, it`s for a sinner to become righteous by believing in the gospel of the Water and the Spirit. We cannot be born again by works, but by faith in the Word of God. I Also understand about Heretics within christianity, an heretic is a person who believe in Jesus but has sin in his/her heart (Titus 3:11) The Lord took away the sin of humanity by baptism but yet the heretics says that they are sinners. Before God, all who claim that they have sin are acknowledging that they themselves are not the Children of God, not the people of God. Everyone who claim to believe in Jesus but not born again is a heretic, this is because while Jesus has eliminated your sins, you yourself who claim to believe in Jesus still have sin in your heart. This book, Return to the gospel of the Water and the Spirit, has a vivid reflection of my lifelong struggles with issues within Christianity, it points out my everyday struggles as a Christian and show the way of dealing with the daily sins that we commit while leading Christian life. This truth cannot be confused with any kind of false teachings and it was this truth that has made me into a person who will never be condemned in Christ. I would like to advise all Christian to read this book, which leads to the discovery of God `s righteousness in the true gospel of the Water and the Spirit. The true gospel is not by water alone or blood alone it`s by both water and blood (1 John 5:6, Exodus 12:43-49). We must believe in Jesus who was baptized by John the Baptist and shed blood on the cross. (Isaiah 53:1-4). Amen.MAZYOPA FRED, ZAMBIA
