CCOG’s Five Years of Listening to God<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Continuing Church of God has been the fastest growing COG in the 21st century. Though it traces its history from Acts 2, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) was officially declared on December 28, 2012. What has been happening? What has been accomplished? Is the Continuing Church of God actually listening to God? Were there similarities between the start of the CCOG and the old Radio Church of God? Do dreams have anything to do with this? What about proclamation fruits? Never before have so few people been able to reach so many with so little money, prior to the formation of the CCOG. Dr. Thiel goes over some aspects of CCOG history, proclamation, size, growth, doctrine, and other matters related to the CCOG.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from lower level leaders? A related sermon is available titled Priority of the Philadelphia Work<\/a>.
\nDreams, the Bible, the Radio Church of God, and the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> How has God used dreams in the past? Does God still use dreams?

\nThe Bible, Peter, Paul, John, Polycarp, Herbert W. Armstrong, Roderick C. Meredith, and Bob Thiel on Church Government<\/a> What form of governance did the early church have? Was it hierarchical? Which form of governance would one expect to have in the Philadelphia remnant? The people decide and\/or committee forms, odd dictatorships, or the same type that the Philadelphia era itself had? What are some of the scriptural limits on ecclesiastical authority? Do some commit organizational idolatry? Here is a Spanish language version La Biblia, Policarpo, Herbert W. Armstrong, y Roderick C. Meredith sobre el gobierno de la Iglesia<\/a>. Here is a link to a sermon titled Church Governance<\/a>.

\nLeading the Final Phase of the Work<\/a> Matthew 24:14 teaches “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come ” will be fulfilled and RCG is not the group doing this. Who is leading the final phase of the work? What did Herbert Armstrong and the old WCG teach about that and about prophets? Does Bob Thiel meet the criteria that the Bible and the old WCG set? What is the proof? What has the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> been doing? This is a sermonette length video.
