At what point does the Assemblies of God put down their foot and discipline or officially discipline or distance themselves from Assemblies of God "leader" Dr. Gerald Haug, author of "Ortho-Millennialism: Bringing Order to End-Time Chaos"?

A church leader who teaches that the Second Coming of Christ happened in 70 AD.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Where is the historical record of Jesus literally descending from a literal cloud, "in like manner" as that in which he ascended?

2Cr 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].

If we are stuck with understanding Paul's letters solely applied to the immediate audience as Haug suggests, then where is the historical record of this happening to the Thessalonians? 1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Teaching not just outside of Pentecostalism but outside of nearly 2,000 years of UNIVERSAL Christian CORE doctrine. This is not just about some eschatological interpretation of the figurative language of a dream or vision in prophecy, but is contrary to UNIVERSAL DOCTRINE of ALL Christian denominations.

A church leader who teaches that the resurrection of the dead is past already:

2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Will eat as gangrene at the body of Christ. Thus having to believe that dire warning was only relevant for a few years, and then for the next nearly 2,000 years Christians were supposed to believe the exact opposite of that dire warning.

A church leader who writes: "I am firmly convinced that Zionism is the doctrine of Satan."

Are Pentecostals who recognize the restoration of Jews to Israel is of the Lord as well as being a fulfillment of prophecy, supposed to suddenly flip and declare that the restoration of Jews to Israel is of Satan, and become fruit of the anti-Zionist tree along with Arnold Murray and his Serpent Seed cult, David Duke and the KKK, Jeremiah Wright, and Ted Pike, who are joined by Muslims, Louis Farrakan and the Nation of Islam, and secular groups like communist Soviets, the United Nations, George Soros and his Center for American Progress, white supremacists, Nazis, skinheads, and anti-Semites of all stripes?

A church leader who writes: "The historical evidence is overwhelming that 100% of Jews are merely converts to Judaism."

Haug's claim demonstrates a propensity for the flesh, since even if a faithful Jew wasn't a genetic Jew but only believed they were a Jew, it is only the condition of their heart that is of interest to the Lord. NO born again Christian believes ANYONE is saved or lost by physical genetics, rendering the whole subject moot, from a Christian perspective. Though I've no doubt that the "Christian Identity" movement, David Duke and the KKK, Nazis and skinheads will receive the subject most eagerly.

So perhaps Haug needs to inform this Pentecostal Jew that neither he nor those Jews he brings to Christ - were ever Jews. That there is no such thing as a Jew today.

"Friedman also explained, “We tell them and have a sign that says that all the material they receive comes from Christians from America who love the people of Israel, the Jewish people.”"

"I should also clarify that I think it will take over 100 years before Christ returns, because the gospel has not had significant penetration in Muslim countries. I think Christ will ONLY return after the gospel has had significant penetration in the Middle East. Christ is much more interested in Christians spreading the gospel than us making false predictions about events in the Middle East. Many Christians seem to have a morbid fascination with a potential war in the Middle East, secretly hoping that some nuclear bomb will usher in the Second Coming and rescue them from their purposeless lives."

Thus offering the allure of judgment deferred to the unrepentant, or marginally self-deluded that believe themselves to be somewhat repentant, but figure they will have more time for serious repentance later on.

Mat 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
