Salvation through Born Again that - who take the sword shall perish by the sword. 46 II If any saint stand for God’s people as a political leader, he must be a New Born cleansed of his old sinful life and build on the foundation of the word. And then must prove what is acce- ptable into the lord and do His will. So, 47 he must be prepared to be a leader upon the approval of the Lord. If he became a leader of his own counsel, 48 then he would take his flesh in his teeth of the sword of the enemy like Balaam. So he must die of his own will. 49 Such person must put his family (household) in new birth, and became a family of glorious eternal kingdom. 50 He must have faithful child- ren, and rule his own house with the word of God. 51 The saints are rulers of the world so he should not lift up his hands to greet people, but must, 52 honor others, respecting eld- ers and youth as his brothers, considering women as his sisters. 53 He must not be a part of gen- tile tradition avoiding all dead 124 The Salvation is the Gift of God works, must gain good testim- ony first in the church and them in the streets, 54 and then among people hav- ing the good testimony, 55 He must not be a selfish, bri- bery, not enticing people with money or wine not appointed by the works of human attempts, but according to the will of God. 56 He must not be afraid of people, not doing. Idolatry, not adorned with garlands, not a partaker of dead works, 57 not making vain (babbling) promises, and not partaker of wizen works. 58 He must be helpful to the widows, taking orphans unto him, to help with divine nature those in danger, 59 not a glutton, but be given to hospitality, not given to wine, not smokers, and rejecting sumptu- ous life. 60 He must not misuse public finance, but slave problems of the people with forbearance. 61 He must not belong to any party or if he is already belonging to a party, he must not confirm the party’s works of darkness and its powers, but be a leader Salvation through Born Again according to God’s will. 62 He must not seek the praises of people, and not stealing God’s glory, 63 knowing and that to give God is worthy of glory and honor forever and ever, 64 you understand that, if any- one is prepared in this manner, he can be a leader. 65 If anyone does not do this and not understanding what we reveal through the Holy spirit of God, 66 doing against to this and does not hold fast the form of word of God in the church, 67 you should reckon him as a gentile and avoid him. Else rem- ember that you will cause of the consuming fire of God’s wrath. 68 Finally, we exhort the saints in Christ not to partakers in the worldly politics but in heavenly politics which is greater. CHAPTER 24 Oh church! I have this against you, that is - you are only to save souls (sinners) but not to devour, is not it? 2 Servants (Ministers) among you say they want to have ser- vants who Abraham had, 125 The Salvation is the Gift of God 3 and having them in their hou- ses and doing works by them for their luxurious lives above God. 4 In Abrahams issue God said that know that he will command his children and him home hold after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do jus- tice and righteousness, that he may bring upon Abraham that which has spoken of him. 5 Hence, O masters, who have servants like Abraham, are you explaining God’s works and deeds to them?
