Does the Bible Contain All of God’s Work and Word?

Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God,  salvation
I was a preacher of the True Jesus Church. When I attended meetings, I was deeply moved by what Elder Zhen in our church preached, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16–17). She said, “Apostle Paul told us that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. All of God’s word is in the Bible and there is no God’s word outside it. So, we should never, ever depart from the Bible. As long as we hold onto the Bible, we will be able to enter the kingdom of heaven and gain eternal life. …” After listening to her sermons, I made up my mind to stick to the Bible whatever happened. Later, after Elder Zhen passed away, our church began to split and I saw the deacons often scrambled for the money. Then I left my former denomination and established a house church. My husband and I gave sermons in turn, and he often went out to have meetings with co-workers, shepherding the flock.

VI Questions and Answers About Salvation and Final Salvation
Question 9: If we accept Almighty God, will we enter the kingdom of heaven?

Answer: To answer this, Almighty God’s words make it clear. Let’s first look at what Almighty God says about it.

“The return of Jesus is a great salvation for those who are capable of accepting the truth, but for those who are unable to accept the truth it is a sign of condemnation. You should choose your own path, and should not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and reject the truth. You should not be an ignorant and arrogant person, but someone who obeys the guidance of the Holy Spirit and longs for and seeks the truth; only in this way will you benefit” (“When You Behold the Spiritual Body of Jesus Will Be When God Has Made Anew Heaven and Earth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
