Section 263
The Five Commissions
The Five Commissions of the New Covenant is a summary of the mission of the New Covenant Church of God. It was received by the Presiding Patriarch whilst on an evangelising tour of the United States in 1990. This has been slightly expanded in places to take into account new understandings [Salt Lake City, Utah, USA].
1. These are the Five Commissions of the New Covenant [Church of God]:
1. To Make Disciples of All
2. To go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, bringing souls unto Me, the Lord Yahshua haMashiach (Jesus Christ), teaching them to obey all My commandments.
3. And they who will obey all the commandments ye shall baptise in in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, confirming them [through the ordinance of Chrism] into the New Covenant.
4. And those who will not obey all the commandments ye shall send unto other Christian Churches which are true unto Me according to their level of light and committment, that these souls may be nurchured [and prospered] and not be lost back into the world (Mt.28:18-20);
2. To Gather the Elect to the Church
5. To bring the faithful and valiant of the New Covenant into the Church of the Firstborn, or Holy Order {Chavurah Bekorot}, where they may receive all the keys of the theocratic Kingdom of Zion and arise perfectly independent in Me,
6. No longer leaning upon the arm-of-flesh of the prophets -- which they must do to some extent in the outer covenant -- that they may commune with Me face to face, and know Me as I really am, and thus inherit the Kingdom of My Father;
3. To Plant the Keys Everywhere
7. To plant the keys of the New Covenant in all churches and individuals who will receive them, that they may grow in grace and truth according to their willingness to be obedient thereto;
8. That they may be prepared for the tribulations ahead and grow closer unto Me, their Lord and Saviour;
4. To Lift a Warning Voice
9. To lift a warning voice in all the world against all false religion, even the Whore of Babylon, who rideth the beast of the New Age Movement,
10. Which is the [primary] vehicle of the Antichrist and of his master, Satan, who already runneth rampant throughout the earth, corrupting the souls of men, women, and children everywhere;
5. To Gather the Ten Tribes
11. To prepare for the hour of the gathering of the Ten Tribes of Israel in the North Countries and in other lands [1], by establishing 12 Firstborn Colonies throughout the world, and to lead them unto the New Jerusalem by the power of My outstretched arm at the end of the Tribulation, that they may receive their inheritance in Zion {the land of Israel}.
Exhortation
12. See that ye do these things; and if ye are faithful, great shall be your joy in the Kingdom of Heaven, for the Father will receive you, saying: Well done, ye true and faithful servants; come, and receive the glory that I have prepared for you. Amen.
