This I know for a fact.
Let me add that Jesus said: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (
John 13:34-35)
There's gotta be love in the fellowship. Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek before the ultimate betrayal. Yet, he was one of the disciples who lived and followed Christ and knew the truth.
Not everybody is going to love their brother/sister and will destroy them with their mouth. It's worse when trash is told over the pulpit about another fellowship.
The first thing I ask is what is the motive?

While I know that God is omnipresent, are people going to find God deep down in a rabbit hole? Many have gone that way and ended up bruised, beaten, devoured and demoralized by people who call themselves "one of their own". Why send them down a rabbit hole when Christ can come to them where they are at?
Christ finds people in the rabbit hole and brings them forth out of a dark, dank hole.
I will let them (AoG) work out their own salvation with fear and trembling.
I have the utmost confidence that the Holy Spirit will lead (teach) us and guide us into all truth. This happens when we seek the Holy Ghost to teach us when we bury ourselves in the Word and pray.
