Membership Requirements
What is Not Required
1. You do not have to be any special Christian denomination,
2. You do not have to go to any church, regularly or at all.
3. You do not have to force your beliefs on anyone else.
4. You do not have to have the same beliefs as other members.
What is Required
1. You do have to believe in One God (The Holy Spirit, The Father, The Son).
2) You. do need to commit read the Holy Bible regularly. (If you do not believe Christ is the Father's son, when you read and grow in understanding the Holy Bible, you soon will believe in the Son.)
- Holy Bible readings should occur on a regular basis.
- a) Fifteen minutes daily, or b) fifteen minutes every second day plus the Sabbath, or c) just read weekly on the Sabbath.
- If you don not understand something ask.
Note 1: Members must grow in our understanding of God. Reading the Holy Bible regularly will take care of this requirement.
As you grow you come to realize the Holy Bible can only be a divine work to guide us through life.
Note 2: The book “To Open Ones Eyes” has two chapters that can help in understanding how to study with the Holy Bible. It shows seven different ways to study the Holy Bible,
3) You should understand that the Sabbath is the seventh day (Saturday) and not the first day (Sunday). Try to keep the 4th Commandment: Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
4) You should attempt to keep all of God’s 10 Commandments.
A. Learn God’s Commandments and keep them close to your heart.
10 Commandments
- Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
- Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.
- Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:
- in it thou shalt not work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
- For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
- wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
- Honor thy father and thy mother.
- Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
We are all a mess but try to keep them. Learn these commandments and keep them close to your heart.
The more your keep God in your thoughts the better you will do trying to keep the commandments.
You should always be unselfish in prayer.
Members must grow in understanding of God and must not force our personal beliefs on anyone. Privately talking to God, reading or studying the Holy Bible, and praying regularly will take care of this requirement.
Note: The book “To Open Ones Eyes” has two chapters that can help in understanding how to study with the Holy Bible.
Members must not force their beliefs on others. If the subject is brought up discuss your beliefs and why you believe the way you do.
A Peon is a Laborer and so God’s Peons membership means you do work for God. Laboring or working for God entails spreading the Gospel (good news) thru simply a casual mention of Jesus in your daily conversations.
1. Spreading the seed does not entail forcing your view.
2. Is does not entail needing to know if the seed you spread grows.
3. Bible Thumpers or being pushy about it tends to alienate.
4. Living Godly while being with sinners is not a sin. Partaking in sin with them is. Enjoy life, enjoy people. As Jesus was an example among the sinners, so it is that we should be.
5. We must be tolerant of others beliefs. That does not mean we have to tolerate what God hates. That is pride, arrogance, the evil way, and a froward mouth. (Proverbs 8:13)
- Yes "froward" is spelled right. In the New Testament the term "unstable wrest" is synonymous. It means "double talk" or "to change one's direction using cunning words"
Whether one spreads more seed or less seed, it is up to the individual member. Do not force your thoughts and beliefs on others. God gave each of us "free will" and we should allow others a chance to use theirs as they choose. From that, the fruits of one’s labor will come through God.
One can spread seed as one feels comfortable. Never be ashamed to believe but show by example rather than by thumping and pointing to the Holy Bible. Honey attracts bees but a blow torch doesn't.
Media Influencers: Using any social media platform, newspaper, radio, or television program, etc. are welcome. A mention or God's peons in your conversations doesn't hurt either.
