Main reference: Jn 1:12-13 (Rv 22:18-19, Mt 13:24-30, Gal 1:8-9)
Jesus said that you can be saved through your faith (2Thes 2:13), but John Calvin said that only predestined people will receive salvation. Who is right? In order to identify the answer, we must ask God, Jesus and the Spirit of Truth. However, the answer is already in the Bible. We must not believe in the words of the false, blind pastors.
In Heaven and Earth there are God and the Devil. The Word of God is the fruit from the tree of life, and the words of the Devil are from the tree of death; that is, the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There are the seed of God and the seed of the Devil, and this seed is their word. The promised pastor whom God has chosen speaks the Word of God, but the lying pastors who belong to the Devil speak the words of the Devil.
In Jesus’ salvation there is ‘faith’, and in Calvin’s salvation there is ‘predestination.’ Hence, Jesus said that you can receive salvation through believing, but Calvin said salvation (the people who will be saved) is predestined. These two doctrines are contrary to each other. The problem is that, the people who believe in Jesus will follow his will, and the people who believe in Calvin’s doctrine will follow the will of Calvin. Conclusively, there are the doctrine of Jesus and the doctrine of Calvin. Calvin’s believers will oppose Jesus’ doctrine and treat it as heresy. As people have no knowledge of the Bible, they believe that they can go to Heaven if they believe in the words of their churches and pastors. However, this is not correct. This is because there are actually two pastors of two different spirits. They must discern between the two.
In Matthew 7 it says, ‘You can recognize a tree by its fruit (referring to false prophets).’ Jesus said ‘Do not murder, the fact that you possess hatred towards somebody is itself murder.’ Calvin killed many people because they did not follow his gospel. Just by looking at this we can see who the savior is and who the destroyer is. Jesus was worried that hatred of sin would cause hatred of others and said that we must love even our enemies. He said that even evil people can be saved if they are reborn of water and the spirit. The fact that Calvin killed people and he talked about ‘predestination’ is not logical.
The leader of Jesus’ church is Jesus, and the leader of Calvin’s is Calvin. Is this not correct? The gospel of Calvin aims a knife directly at Jesus, though Calvin is a creation. This means he has challenged Jesus and that Calvin is a worker for the Devil. This has been done with another doctrine. Is not Calvin’s church of today the Presbyterian Church? If you have comprehended this, you must repent and be reborn in order to receive salvation.
We at Shincheonji understand that the gospel of Calvin belongs to the Devil and that the pastors of Calvin’s religion are the pastors of Satan. Our God, the creator of all things, loved the world so much and gave us His one and only son. Jesus is the savior of our lives who died on the cross to wash away our sins. Calvin added and subtracted from the entirety of Jesus’ revelation. Just as Apostle Paul says in Galatians 1:8-9, ‘[Calvin] preaches a gospel other than the one that he was taught,’ so how can he receive salvation? The people who believe in Calvin are sinning in the same way. Modifying the gospel of Jesus is a sin. Prophecies and predestination are both things that are decided in advance. The prophecies God gave to Abraham were fulfilled in Moses’ time, and the prophecies that God gave to the prophets of the Old Testament were fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming. The promises prophesied in the New Testament (new covenant) are fulfilled at Jesus’ second coming. He showed us what will happen in advance, and the prophecies that he promised will be fulfilled when the time comes. This is the fulfillment of the prophecies.
This is different from Calvin’s theory of Predestination. The Predestination means that those who will receive salvation and those who will go to Hell have already been decided. In accordance with this, Calvin killed people and rationalized that he killed those who already predestined to die. If we were to follow the words of Calvin, there would be no need to have faith and make an effort to receive salvation. Those who are predestined to die will die even if they have faith, and those who are predestined to live will receive salvation even if they sin and do not have faith. This theory of Predestination comes from Calvin receiving the spirit of the Devil and speaking the words of the Devil. It is an absolute lie. If Adam and Eve had been predestined to eat the fruit from the ‘tree of knowledge of good and evil’ and if their receiving judgment from God had also been predestined, then the fact that in Revelation it says ‘those who add or subtract from the Bible cannot go to Heaven and will be cursed’ becomes a lie. If those who will go to Heaven and Hell have already been decided, regardless of faith or no faith, then there is no reason for churches and pastors to exist.
Some pastors of Calvin’s church thought that serving other spirits is not a sin, so they served and bowed to the god of Japan and they still say that they are orthodox. This treatment comes from Calvin’s theory of Predestination.
Shincheonji, which the Spirit of Truth is with, speaks that the religion of Calvin is not the religion of Jesus; that doctrine is not the doctrine of Jesus. It is another gospel that Calvin created.
Anyone who believes in the promised Word, is reborn of the seed of Jesus’ gospel of Heaven, harvested and sealed, and belongs to the 12 tribes of God’s kingdom, will receive salvation. Those who do not believe this do not believe in the promised Word of Jesus and cannot enter Heaven where Jesus is.
