JOEL HILLIKER UNDERSTOOD …….A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
INTRODUCTION PCG got wonderful Revelations in the former years, and in the quotations of J. Hilliker in this article, he had mentioned of the Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, --BUT WITH A FEW EXPLANATIONS MORE, (which are not written by him), his article would have GIVEN COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST—for example, J. Hilliker wrote of baptismal waters where we all got baptized under WCG AS THE TRUE BAPTIZM—but John himself said of the baptizm we are to receive when JESUS CHRIST COMES-- Acts 13: 24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.---25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not He. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of His feet I am not worthy to loose.--26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.---John fulfilled baptizm of repentance---BUT---SALVATION IS GIVEN ----BY BAPTIZM UNTO THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 6: 3-7—NEW LIFE COMES FROM THE BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Rom. 6: 3-7.—JESUS CHRIST raised from death and is everliving, likewise we too would be given life—as those vss. say—we should believe the word of God—
Again, John said--Mt 3:11- I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: ---—John cannot wear the shoes of JESUS CHRIST to do the work of JESUS CHRIST!! SO WE SEE CLEARLY OF TWO BAPTIZMS----again, Acts 11: 16-- Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that He said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Then, JESUS CHRIST baptized not, Jn 4: 2, because He had not died --- to give the cup of blessing through His death, Rom. 6: 3-7, therefore John’s baptizm to repentance was preached, ---but----WITH THE BAPTIZM unto the death of JESUS CHRIST, we get remission of sins and salvation, NEW LIFE to SERVE HIM, Rom. 6: 3-22.

PART 1—quotations from J. Hilliker
Here are some quotations from the article “A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH”, written by Joel Hilliker in Royal Vision March/April 2006--JOEL HILLIKER WROTE--
Doesn’t life come only from life?--On Passover memorialize the death of JESUS CHRIST. Reveals how our sins put JESUS CHRIST to death.
Then follow the days of Unleavened Bread which depict our sinful old man within each of us. These two festivals show us that sin kills. It follows that if we are to live beyond this short human existence, we must kill sin. The-true Christians are in a life and death, kill or be killed struggle with sin.
Death is the reward or the just compensation we receive when we sin (Rom. 6:23). Christ was beaten and executed in order to pay the penalty for sin in our stead. But did you realize God still requires that we die? Let me explain. ---- Know ye not that so many of us were baptized unto JESUS CHRIST were baptized unto His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death (Rom. 6: 3-4). When we are baptized we are putting something to death!—vs. 6--Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him that the body of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve sin.
God recognize better than anyone what sin does. He typifies it by the oppression of slavery the ISRAELITES endure in ancient Egypt. When you are a slave of sin it owns you and you must be saved-ransomed.This is God’s view of sin! It is Bondage unto death pure and simple. Our carnal minds can view sin in a positive light: Heb. 11:25 mentions the pleasures of sin” But that pleasure is fleeting-and the price is bondage unto death. Sin kills.
How did ISRAELITES break free of that bondage? They kept the Passover. Every family was personally involved in shedding the blood of the Passover lamb. That blood protected them from death. Then they were able to experience freedom from bondage-a type of forgiveness of sin.
He completely drowns our sins in the baptismal waters when we repent. He removes them from us as far as east from west. When God deals with sin, he completely destroys it-sends it to the depths of the sea! That shows God’s attitude toward sin. He hates it so much that HE DESTROYS IT-BURIES IT-DROWNS IT-BURNS IT. God is serious about purging sin out of our lives. He wants us to overcome it. JESUS CHRIST said even looking at a woman lustfully is adultery. Be honest with yourself. How serious are you about putting that sin to death. What is the battle plan to conquer that sin? Ask yourself. Am I really willing to do what I need to-give up?
Much of Protestantism says our sins are nailed to the cross with JESUS CHRIST so we don’t have to keep God’s law. Paul said No- I was nailed to the stake with Christ! The only reason I am here is that Christ is now living in me! Paul said I am crucified with Christ. (Gal 2;20). We must continually crucify our wicked selves again and let Christ live His life in us. This is a daily ongoing process of killing off that old man so that this new life can prevail!
Elsewhere Paul said my interest in all the attractive things of the world was killed long ago and the world’s interest in me is also long dead (Gal 6:14) Have we like Paul killed off our interest in this world’s distractions? What really matters as Paul goes on to state in the next verse is becoming new creature.
PART 2—COMMENTS and MISSING EXPLANATIONS
J. Hilliker wrote---“God recognize better than anyone what sin does. He typifies it by the oppression of slavery the ISRAELITES endure in ancient Egypt. When you are a slave of sin it owns you and you must be saved-ransomed”. ---
How did ISRAELITES break free of that bondage? They kept the Passover. Every family was personally involved in shedding the blood of the Passover lamb. That blood protected them from death. Then they were able to experience freedom from bondage-a type of forgiveness of sin.
Comment---this is the very reason LORD created a Pharaoh, Rom. 9: 17, for His short work, vs. 28. LORD made the leader of PCG like Pharaoh, because he made covenant to be broken, Eze. 16: 59, Eze. 44: 7, and is wicked to God’s sheep, gives them hard labor, and would not allow keeping the true Passover, as commanded in Ezekiel temple, Eze. 45: 21-24, so that God’s people would serve God! ----Deut 16: 1 - Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.---2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the Passover unto the LORD thy God, --- in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.—God had chosen Ezekiel temple, for the present day captives who are in bondage to sin—SINCE the Sanctuary was PROFANED BY GOD, Eze. 24: 21, they were given several ordinances, Eze. 43: 11—27, 45: 18-25, but PCG had not done as required to get the Zadok’s sons to sanctify temple and people, Eze. 43: 19-25 (seven days), defiled ministry should be sanctified, Ex 19:22, before they keep the 1ST DAY AND 7TH DAY, Eze. 45: 18-20, and then Passover as mentioned in Eze. 45: 21-24.
Ezekiel temple is not another building, but in mercy JESUS CHRIST had allowed the same place, where they should thank JESUS CHRIST, Jer. 30: 18-19, then He would bless, increase them, vs. 19, they are to take WORDS to return to Him, Hos 14: 1, 2, that is those words of Rom. 6: 3-22—Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22. ISRAEL would appoint a HEAD, to return to JESUS CHRIST, Ho 1:11.
BUT----Since they failed the ordinance of Eze.43: 19-25, before THE FIRST MONTH, they should now think of second Passover, as happened in 2Ch 30:15, Moses instructed people who were defiled by the dead, to keep Passover in the second month, Nu 9:10- 11 (PCG ministry is dead spiritually, as they were slain by sword of God, Eze 32:31, Isa 66:16, La 2:21, Eze 31:18, slain those who were given pestilence as in Egypt, Amos 4:10, SWORD is WORD OF GOD, Eph 6: 17, Re 19:21)—THEREFORE—PCG could keep 2nd Passover! ----- (Nu 9: 11 - The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it), --(NOT 13TH DAY EVEN, but 14th day even)---for more understanding please read--
143. PASSOVER IN SECOND MONTH
in--
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
April 11th is 1st day of second month in 2013—before that ---7 days sanctification by Zadok’s sons should be done, Eze. 43: 19-25 (PCG has to inform and it would be done in outer court, Eze. 43:21---then on 1st day, and 7th day of second month, by themselves, Eze. 45: 18-20, and 14th day even to 21st day even, Passover and Unleavened Bread, Eze. 45: 21-24. ---IF YOU FAIL TO KEEP THESE DAYS, YOU WOULD have to WAIT UNTIL 2014, LORD WOULD NOT ACCEPT DISOBEDIENCE TO HIS ORDINANCES!
J. Hilliker wrote---“He completely drowns our sins in the baptismal waters when we repent. He removes them from us as far as east from west.
COMMENT—not in the baptismal waters of John---BUT IN Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, Vs. 19, 22, where you would be PARDONED, SAVED, GIVEN NEW LIFE to serve Him, and NOT SERVE SIN, Rom. 6: 6.
“Much of Protestantism says our sins are nailed to the cross with JESUS CHRIST so we don’t have to keep God’s law. Paul said No”---comment—YES---we are NOT TO SERVE SIN , 2 Tim 2: 19, JESUS CHRIST fulfilled law with His love, Rom. 13: 8-10—

J. Hilliker wrote—“Have we like Paul killed off our interest in this world’s distractions? What really matters as Paul goes on to state in the next verse is becoming new creature”. - ----- COMMENT—PCG is very much interested in the world! ---World watch, news, business, performance arts, all types of worldly interests! –BUT PAUL STATED BECOMING A NEW CREATURE! ---without being a NEW CREATURE, you cannot serve JESUS CHRIST, because you cannot see Him without holiness, Heb. 12: 14, and THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS Righteousness unto HOLINESS, is through HIS BAPTIZM, of Rom. 6: 3-7!
• Moses’ baptism 1 Co 10:2, made ISRAEL to make the old covenant
• John’s baptism to repentance did not make it possible for ISRAEL of Rom. 9: 4, 6, (Eze. 16: 8) to make new covenant REPENTANCE is one thing---SAVING AND REDEEMING is ANOTHER THING which is only given by Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7.
• LORD allowed church to be in confusion in Babylon -70 years-Jer. 25:9-10 (it’s a time like as if Nebuchadnezzar was in church) therefore LORD required the church to repent-last days God ordered prophet to tell the abomination of Jerusalem (to inner court, ministers, Eze. 2:1-9, Eze. 16:1-2, to cleanse by repentance to ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST’S SACRIFICE, as LORD had chosen Zion to dwell in it, Ps. 132:13,14)--- God requires a holy and a peaceful place to dwell with His family, Amos 3: 2.
• Through John’s baptism LORD required them to repent, He sent all knowledge from all prophets, calling them to repent, but they repented not, Jer. 44:4, 5-please understand Gerald Flurry of PCG was made a prophet to warn God’s ministry, as ;LORD required a perfect ministry first----so Gerald Flurry was given knowledge from all prophets just as Jer. 44:4 said-BUT WHAT HAPPENED? Gerald Flurry exalted himself and believing H.W.Armstrong’s erroneous work of preaching gospel to world Gerald Flurry started a work for the world, MISUNDERSTANDING that LORD SCATTERED THEM IN NATIONS, Eze. 12: 13-15, in the land of Chaldeans, which is Babylon-Jer. 25: 12, (it is the prophet, who was sent to captivity, Eze. 12:3 and the prince, (Regional Director), who broke the covenant , Eze. 12:10, all ministers who supported them, Eze. 12:10-15, who were scattered in these UNKNOWN LANDS (it is a parable), Eze. 32:9.
• Since covenant was broken in Bamah, Eze. 20:29 and in India, east, Eze. 11:1, sinners of inner court in east, 25 of them, Eze. 8:19 {there were 25 priest under Alex Harrison at the time, Eze. 8:16)
• God hid His face when it happened; gentiles of Sri Lanka knew this abomination, Eze. 39:21-23, since these gentiles did not approve this abomination they were made outer court witnesses, Rev. 11:2-4, God required us to give fresh clothes to Joshua, Zec 3:4-5, that is to send LORD MESSAGES through ships, Eze. 30:9, ships of Tarshish, Is 60:9, it is gentile times, Eze. 30:3, LORD again chooses Jerusalem and builds Zion, Zec 1:16,17, gentiles as craftsmen who serve the LORD, Zec 1:21, Jer. 24 (in basket of good figs) (Tarshish is Sri Lanka, for proof----read articles on Tarshish in --http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
• So John’s baptism was required for God’s people, John was Elijah, Mal 4:5, Mt 11:14, John’s message of repentance had to be delivered in end time, therefore H.W.Armstrong restored John’s immersion baptism in God’s church, so that they repent. (Mal 4: 6—through repentance sons would know that they had done against fathers—they had done against David, erring in David’s throne, which was given to end time leaders, Isa. 22: 20-24, so he was removed from that duty, Isa. 22: 25, Ps. 74: 9). When people of God repent,--- they would know that they had done against the wishes of Jacob, Abraham, against the covenants they made with God.
• So the 70 year period started with H.W.Armstrong, to fulfill God’s master plan, that 70 years was to be of confusion ---so the one true God was shown as two God’s ---JESUS CHRIST is High Priest of Melchisedec Order, Heb 6:20, He is without father, Heb. 7:1-3, He is God of whole earth, Is 54:5, He is ALMIGHTY FATHER, Isa. 9:6, He had power to die and resurrect, Jn 10:18.
Out of David’s way, 1 Chr 23:30-31(Sabbaths, new moons, holy days)---- H.W.Armstrong restored Sabbaths and holy days, not new moons, although LORD’s will is the ordinances of new moons too , Is 66:22, 23, Eze. 46: 1, 3; 44:17. H.W.Armstrong also declared a wrong time of 13th day even instead of 14th day even to observe Passover –
The seven days of Unleavened Bread are called Passover, Lu 22:1, they started from 14th day even{that is beginning of 15th day} to 21st day even (7 days), Eze 45:21, Le 23:6, (Please read all articles referring to Passover, Unleavened Bread in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
• Baptism of JESUS CHRIST UNTO HIS DEATH, Rom. 6:3-7! It was not done! So we should see that the 70 year period had not been a work in accordance with LORD’s ordinances, God’s people had erred! God allowed it for His purpose, so that out of failures, God’s people would learn through HARD LESSONS, THEN NO ONE THEREAFTER WOULD ERR---THEY WOULD ALL FEAR JESUS CHRIST!!
• The 70 year period was under one king, Is 23:15. Thus after H.W.Armstrong ‘s death Gerald Flurry continued with obedience to H.W.Armstrong –Jer. 17:5, Gerald Flurry gave his responsibilities to Regional Directors –HE SAID they are his “eyes and ears”!. In the end of H.W.Armstrong 70 year period –God’s church sings as a harlot, as Tyre-Isa. 23:15-----PCG broke covenant, Eze. 16:59, 44:7 through harlotry, Eze. 16:15, she was like Egyptians, Assyrians, Chaldeans as a brazen harlot, Eze. 16:26-30, she is naked vs. 37 (that means laodiceans, Rev. 3:17), as Sodom, Syria, vss.56,57. She was judged as A WOMAN BREAKING WEDLOCK, vs. 38! That judgment was given to be executed by the gentile assembly, Eze. 16:39-42. But LORD will correct them, vs. 41, and make new covenant with PCG vs. 60-63-SHE WILL BE BRIDE OF CHRIST.
• Woe was pronounced to PCG, Eze. 16:23 (PCG thought “I am” and no other, Jer. 21:13,14,---- BUT PCG is laboring to be burnt by LORD’s fire, Hab 2:13-14, that is why LORD’s words are fire to burn people, Jer. 5:14)-Because she was sent to Babylon as a harlot----“the mystery Babylon name” of Rev. 17:5 is for PCG!---(read mystery Babylon, Nos. 43, 44, 69, 75, 247--- in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com ).
• LORD is the potter of ISRAEL. He gave foolish implements to the last era shepherd, Zec 11:15, woe pronounced to this last prophet of ISRAEL , vs. 17 ( he leaves the flock-MEANING---he cuts off or disfellowships Godly people and teach ungodly things so that God’s people would be destroyed -- so his working ability ENDS-(hand withers) and vision too ends (blinded), prophet no more, Ps. 74: 9! All because of CONFUSION
As God allowed!---WELL, by this example of a leader, we should understand GOD’S POWER! HOW HE WOULD CHOOSE PEOPLE TO GET HIS WORK DONE! HOW CAREFUL WE SHOULD BE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES---HOW HOLY JESUS CHRIST IS! HOW TRUE HIS WORDS ARE! ---so many lessons! The greatest to know IS THE ENORMOUS POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, THE CREATOR, MAKER AND POTTER OF ISRAEL!
• If LEADERS do obey JESUS CHRIST to do His commandments, judgments, laws of love, ordinances, then---NO PROBLEM---HE WOULD BLESS US ABUNDANTLY! ----that is A GOOD LESSON!---when leaders are just, they would guard all things and all people of God, in the manner God requires!------THEREFORE when all ISRAEL had transgressed as Daniel said, Da 9: 11, JESUS CHRIST purifies the leaders, Mal 3: 1-3, to give them NEW LIFE, through His baptizm, Rom. 6: 3-7, to serve Him in Righteousness unto Holiness, vss. 19, 22,
• PCG will be provided HIS ATONMEMENT to make the new covenant, Eze. 16: 63, and other called out ISRAEL, Jn 6:44,45, Heb. 9:15, would be daughters of PCG, Eze. 16: 60-62, -that means they would be taught by PCG –PCG would be ISRAEL’S first fruits, the seed of JESUS CHRIST which come out as a result of LORD’S sacrifice, Is 53:10.
• That means LORD’s atonement through HIS SACRIFICE would first throw light on PCG ministry! In old testament, --- rams, bulls, goats, provided atonement for sin-Lev. 9:2-7. ---Likewise in New covenant, JESUS CHRIST provides the atonement FOR SIN, with His sacrifice-- when He was whipped His body was broken to pieces and blood was shed---- HE died, SACRIFICED HIMSELF, and made us RECEIVE THE CUP OF BLESSING through His broken body and blood, 1 Co 11;16 ----(1 Co 11:18-21 says of Bamah matter ---uncircumcised gentiles drink the cup of demons and ISRAEL who eat the Passover sacrifice in altar of God should not mix up with such gentiles, Lev. 22: 25, Sri Lankan minister and members were required by Alex Harrison to keep Passover with Bamah ministers---so LORD was provoked to jealousy, by PCG, 1 Co 10:22--- De 32:16, De 4:24, De 6:15,) PCG ministers please understand the gravity of guarding God’s things! Also notice that the world cannot be brought into God’s temple without first teaching of God’s precious things. IF STRANGERS DWELL WITH ISRAEL, they have to keep LORD’S Passover, Ex. 12: 48, Col 2: 11-13 (which is baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6: 3-7).
• Therefore PCG work for the world is of no use just now! ALL FLESH WOULD WORSHIP HIM, Isa. 66: 23, but PCG should become the first seed of ISRAEL to make the NEW COVENANT before others, Eze. 16: 60-63.
• JESUS CHRIST the Almighty creator God, Isa. 9:6, the potter of ISRAEL and wonderful counselor knew that the end time church world err! But just as He gave PCG the cup of fury---He gives the CUP OF BLESSING, through A TRUE APSSOVER, that is when they remember His death –Rom. 6:3-7, Jesus means to “save His people from their sins” Mt 1:21, creator God was made a man, Mt 1: 21, the “SON OF GOD”, Heb. 7:3 to die---- to save His people!
• They receive a cup of blessing to be saved when they take His name through baptism unto death, as Peter said, Acts 2;38. JESUS CHRIST begets ISRAEL again with a LIVING HOPE through the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the dead, 1 Pet 1:3, so all the blessings for salvation would be brought to ISRAEL through the revelation of JESUS CHRIST , 1 Pet 1:9-14, and ISRAEL would be holy as JESUS CHRIST is , vs. 15-16.
• Gentiles of outer court of PCG, were made 1st born of poor, Isa. 14:30 as a seed that would declare ISRAEL seed, Ps. 22:30-31 and they got the blessings of JESUS CHRIST first through His blood, Eph. 2:13, they were made to serve Him in outer court, Rev. 11: 2-4, to give the light of JESUS CHRIST to ISRAEL, Is 60:1-3, 9. This is the time of gentiles; it is Lord’s Day, Eze. 30; 3, LORD’s day in which ministry would be purified, Mal 3: 1-3.
• Moses and all believers of eternal inheritance looked to JESUS CHRIST having faith, as Heb. 11 (faith chapter) says. They were as pilgrims looking to JESUS CHRIST as they knew ISRAEL would have the eternal blessings from JESUS CHRIST.
• Now that day has come during this generation, and all prophesies fulfill during the time of PCG, Eze. 12:25-28.
• All prophesies fulfill by word of God ----for example PCG knew of the prophet as word of God says so--Eze. 2: 5, 6, 33:33 says so! PCG leader knew about the death of his wife, through the words of Eze. 24: 16. We gentiles knew of our work as it is written!
• LORD’s swords is word of God, Eph. 6: 17 it pierces the thoughts, Heb. 4:12, thus the word of God was sent to ISRAEL PCG, Rom. 9:4, 6 through gentiles who were cleansed by HIS BLOOD, Eph. 2;11-13, And LORD requires to cleanse ISRAEL (PCG, Rom. 9: 4,6) to make the NEW COVENANT through His blood, Eze. 16: 60-63, baptizing them unto Hos death, Rom. 6:3-7, giving the cup of blessing at Passover.
MAY THE LORD CREATE NEW JERUSALEM AND ZION, HIS DWELLING PLACE WITH ISRAEL, MAY THE LORD SHAKE YOUR HEARTS TO GET BATIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, AMEN.----Zec 2:10- Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. -- Zec 8:3 -Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
MAY ALL HIS WILL BE DONE, AND ALL THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE BE TO JESUS CHRIST, THE MAKER AND REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, AMEN AND AMEN.
