The Great Commission

What does it mean to fully carry out the Great Commission?

The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) talk about fulfilling the Great Commission, yet they do not seem to agree, on exactly what the Great Commission is.  Some say, that the Great Commission is telling the whole world about the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), while others talk about the Great Commission is about teaching people how to follow the Man of Truth.  Then there are others who say, that Great Commission is healing the sick and casting out the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) to set people free from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil).  Yet others have different ideas about the Great Commission, like taking care of the poor.

Fortunately, there is no need for all of this confusion over the Great Commission, because it is all plainly written out in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).  The confusion ends, when we look in the Book of Truth (The Bible) to find the answers to the questions concerning the Great Commission.

Who gave the Great Commission?

The Great Commission was given by the Man of Truth after he rose from the dead (Mark 16:9-15).

When was the Great Commission given?

The Great Commission was not all given at one time, but parts of it were given at different times and places, between the time that the Man of Truth first revealed himself, after rising from the dea to the remaining eleven Original Apostles of Truth, and when he returned to Heaven.  Part of it was given in Galilee, after these eleven men met the Man of Truth there, as he had commanded them (Matthew 28:16-18).  Part of it was given, right before he returned to Heaven (Mark 16:18-19).  Part of it was given, right after he ate with these eleven men, and other Children of Truth, in Jerusalem (Luke 24:33-44).  Part of it was given when he appeared to these eleven men, right after they had been fishing on the Sea of Galilee (Sea of Tiberias) (John 21:1-14).  Another part of it was given, right before he returned to Heaven (Acts 1:8-9).

What is the Great Commission?

The Great Commission is the final set of instructions, that the Man of Truth gave, before he left the Earth to return to Heaven.   It is the marching orders, that define what the Children of Truth are to do, until he returns to the Earth.  These marching orders are given in parts. One part is given at the end of each of the Gospels and one part is given at the beginning of the Acts.  In these passages, the Man of Truth is commissioning the Children of Truth, to continue carrying out his work on the Earth, until he returns to the Earth.  This commission he gives, is truly great in scope, covering all people, living in all places, and has been being carried out for more than two thousand years.  That is why it is called the Great Commission.

In Matthew, the Great Commission could be summarized as "teach and baptize" (Matthew 28:18-20).  In Mark, the Great Commission could be summarized as "go and preach" (Mark 16:15-18).  In Luke, the Great Commission could be summarized as "witness with power" (Luke 24:44-49). In John, the Great Commission could be summarized as "do not give up" (John 21:15-22).  In Acts, the Great Commission could be summarized as "but first be baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost)" (Acts 1:4-8).

So the Great Commission could be summarized as "Teach and baptize, go and preach, witness with power, do not give up, but first be baptized in the Spirit of Truth.".

What are the directives in the Great Commission?

In order to get a clear picture of the directives, that define the Great Commission, we are going to go examine these directives, one at a time, in the order that they first appear, since there is a reinforcing overlap between the parts of the Great Commission, that is given in the first five books of the Renewed Covenant.

The first directive is, that the Great Commission be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth.

The Man of Truth has been given authority over everything, in both Heaven and Earth (Matthew 28:18).  [The Greek word translated as "power" literally means "authority".]  Since he has this authority, he commands that the Great Commission be carried out in his name (Mark 16:17).  This authority is based on the Man of Truth, fulfilling all that was written about the Messiah of Israel in the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament), concerning his death and resurrection (Luke 24:44-46).  So the Man of Truth commands that the Great Commission, be carried out in his name, to show that he is the Messiah of Israel (Luke 24:47).  The Great Commission is to be carried out in his name, because he will return to rule over the kingdom of Israel as the Messiah of Israel, at the time that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has appointed (Acts 1:4-7).

The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining eternal life (John 20:31).  The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining forgiveness from sin (Acts 2:38).  The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining the power, to carry out the Great Commission (Acts 4:30).  The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining the boldness, to carry out the Great Commission (Acts 9:29).  The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining justification (1 Corinthians 6:11).  The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name has authority over all things (Philippians 2:9-11). The Great Commission must be carried out in the name of the Man of Truth, because his name is the means, to obtaining the love for other people, to carry out the Great Commission (1 John 3:23).

The second directive is, that the Children of Truth must go and reach all people.

The Children of Truth must go to people of every ethnic group, to carry out the Great Commission, because it has always been about the Gentiles (Matthew 28:19).   [The Greek word translated as "nations" literally means "ethnic groups".]  They are to go throughout the entire Earth, because the Great Commission is to reach all people (Mark 16:15).  They are to go to all ethnic groups, when they carry out the Great Commission, starting with their own people (Luke 24:47).  They are to start in their own home town, then go from there out to the rest of their own part of the world, then go the next closest part of the world, and then continue this process, until they have went to every place on Earth, because the Great Commission is to reach all people (Acts 1:8).

The Man of Truth told his twelve Original Apostles of Truth, to go to their own people, to train them, in how to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 10:5-7).  The Man of Truth was sending them, because he had been sent by the Father of Truth, to start the work of the Great Commission (Matthew 10:40).

The Man of Truth had started the work of the Great Commission, by going to his own people (Matthew 15:24).  The Man of Truth had started the work of the Great Commission, by first going to those of his own home town (Luke 4:16-19).  The Man of Truth then went out to the rest of his own part of the world, to continue the work of the Great Commission (Luke 4:43-44).  The Man of Truth then went out to the next closest part of the world, to continue the work of the Great Commission (Luke 9:53-56).  The Man of Truth then sent out the Children of Truth to continue this process, until they have went to every place on Earth, because the Great Commission is to reach all people (Acts 1:8).

The third directive is, that the Children of Truth teach all people, to keep the commandments of the Man of Truth.

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people of every ethnic group, to obey everything that the Man of Truth has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20).  The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach other people the entire Book of Truth, because the Original Covenant identifies the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel (Luke 24:44-46).  The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they feed, those who come into the House of Truth, with the Word of Truth, because they love the Man of Truth (John 21:15-17).

The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey, what was commanded in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Matthew 5:17-19).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey the commandments, that he got from the Father of Truth (John 12:49-50).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that the commandments of the Law of Truth are holy, just and good (Romans 7:12).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, to build their lives on the foundation of the entire Book of Truth, including the Law of Truth (Ephesians 2:19-21).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that the commandments of the Law of Truth define sound doctrine (1 Timothy 1:8-11).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, doctrine based on the entire Book of Truth, including the Law of Truth (2 Timothy 3:15-17).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, what is in the entire Book of Truth, including the Law of Truth, so they do not fall away from the truth (2 Peter 3:15-17). 

The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people, to not follow the man made traditions, that are contrary to the commandments of the Law of Truth, that the Rabbis teach (Matthew 15:3-9).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth avoid teaching people the doctrine of the Rabbis, that came from the Pharisees (Matthew 16:6-12).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth to teach people, to call no one "Rabbi", except him (Matthew 23:8).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they do not teach people, a doctrine that is supposedly based on the Law of Truth, but is instead based on fables, by those whose authority rests on the alleged ancestry of the Rabbis (1 Timothy 1:3-7).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, to pay no attention to doctrine of the Rabbis, that is based on Jewish fables, and the commandments of men, because it turns people away from the Law of Truth (Titus 1:14).

The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to love the Father of Truth with all their being, and to love other people as much as they love themselves, because the rest of the commandments of the Law of Truth are just the details, of how to keep these two commandments (Matthew 22:36-40).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, to keep these commandments, because no one can love the Father of Truth, without loving other people (1 John 4:20-21).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that these commandments are not too hard to keep, when they love each other, and the Father of Truth (1 John 5:2-3). 

The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, so that they learn how to truly love other people (John 15:17).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, so that they will love each other enough, to lay down their lives for each other (John 15:12-13).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that the commandments of the Law of Truth were given, to bring about a heart that truly loves people (1 Timothy 1:5).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that love for other people is defined by obedience to these commandments (2 John 1:6).

The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, to show that they love him (John 14:15).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, so they could come to know him better (John 14:21).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, so could live in his love (John 15:10).  The Man of Truth commanded, that the Children of Truth teach people to obey these commandments, so they could be his friend (John 15:14-15).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that the only way to know the Man of Truth, is to keep his commandments (1 John 2:1-4).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that those who have confidence in the Man of Truth, keep the commandments of the Father of Truth (Revelation 14:12).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people, that it is those, who keep his commandments, who will spend eternity with the Man of Truth (Revelation 22:14).

The fourth directive is, that the Children of Truth baptize people, who come into the House of Truth.

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize in the name of the Father of Truth, the Man of Truth and the Spirit of Truth (Matthew 28:19).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they only baptized people, who have come into the House of Truth (Mark 16:16).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptized people in water, like John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man) did (Acts 1:5).

John the Baptist only baptized those, who admitted that they had been sinning, and were turning from their sins (Matthew 3:6-8).  John the Baptist baptized people by authority of the Father of Truth (Matthew 21:23-25).  John the Baptist baptized people in a river in the countryside (Mark 1:4-5).  John the Baptist demanded, that people start doing what the Law of Truth said was right, in order to be baptized (Luke 3:7-14).  John the Baptist baptized people, to mark them as being justified by the Father of Truth, for turning from their sin (Luke 7:28-29).  John the Baptist baptized people in water, to point people to the Man of Truth (John 1:25-28).  John the Baptist baptized people, to show that their sins, would be taken away by the Man of Truth (John 1:29-31).

The Man of Truth was baptized by John the Baptist, to set the pattern for everyone, who comes into the House of Truth (Matthew 3:13-17).  The Man of Truth was baptized by John the Baptist, to mark the beginning of his preparation, to carry out the Great Commission (Mark 1:9-12).  The Man of Truth was baptized by John the Baptist, to be marked as the Messiah of Israel (Luke 3:21-22).  The Man of Truth, then began baptizing people in the same way, that John the Baptist baptized people (John 3:22-26).  The Man of Truth had the original Apostles of Truth do the actual baptizing, because he was training them, to carry out the Great Commission (John 4:1-2).

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they tell people, that they need to be baptized, to show that they have come into the House of Truth (Acts 2:38-41).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, after they come into the House of Truth (Acts 8:12).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people in water (Acts 8:37-39).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, as soon as possible, after they first come into the House of Truth (Acts 9:17-18). They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize everyone, who comes into the House of Truth (Acts 10:47-48).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people in living water, like a river (Acts 16:13-15).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, to show that they have come into the House of Truth (Acts 16:30-34).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, in the same way that John the Baptist did, except in the name of the Man of Truth (Acts 19:3-5).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, to show that their sins, have been taken away by the Man of Truth (Acts 22:16).

The fifth directive is, that the Children of Truth continue carrying out the Great Commission, as long as they are on this Earth.

The Children of Truth are to continue carrying out the Great Commission, as long as they are on this Earth, because the Man of Truth is with them until the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).   [The Greek word translated as "world" literally means "age".]  They are to continue  carrying out the Great Commission, as long as they are on this Earth, regardless of the cost (John 21:18-22). They are to continue  carrying out the Great Commission, as long as they are on this Earth, because the Man of Truth will return to this Earth to reign (Acts 1:6-7).

The Man of Truth carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth had sent him (John 4:34).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth was with him (John 8:28-30).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth heard him, when he prayed (John 11:41-45).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew that the Father of Truth was with him, until the very end of his time on this Earth (John 16:28-32).

The Children of Truth are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that persecution marks them as belonging to the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 3:11-13).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that it makes them like the Man of Truth (Hebrews 12:2-4).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that the Father of Truth will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5-6).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that it makes them like the Prophets of Truth (James 5:10-11).

The Man of Truth was only on this Earth, to carry out his part of the Great Commission (Luke 2:49).  He let nothing distract him, from carrying out his part of the Great Commission (John 5:30).  He was willing to lay down his life, to carry out his part of the Great Commission (John 10:15-18).  He was committed to doing whatever it took, to carry out his part of the Great Commission (John 12:27).  There was nothing that he would not go through, to carry out his part of the Great Commission (John 18:11-14).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, as long as he was on this Earth (John 19:28-30).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, regardless of the cost (Philippians 2:6-8).

The Children of Truth are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, even when they have to flee for their lives from city to city (Matthew 10:21-23).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, even when it looks like, evil will prevail (Matthew 24:12-14).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, even when they are betrayed by their own family (Mark 13:12-13).  They are to be occupied with carrying out their part of the Great Commission, right up to the moment that the Man of Truth returns to this Earth (Luke 19:11-13).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, no matter what the authorities tell them (Acts 5:40-42).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, no matter how people treat them (1 Thessalonians 2:2). They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, no matter what comes against them (2 Corinthians 11:24-27).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, no matter who comes against them (1 Thessalonians 2:12-16).

The Man of Truth carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth would reward him with a name, that is above every name (Philippians 2:9-11).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth would reward him with the Children of Truth (Colossians 1:20-22).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth would reward him with an everlasting kingdom (Hebrews 1:2-8).  He carried out his part of the Great Commission, because he knew, that the Father of Truth would reward him with great joy (Hebrews 12:2).

The Children of Truth are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that the Man of Truth will return to this Earth (Matthew 24:44-46).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that he will reward them with an everlasting kingdom (Luke 22:28-30).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that he will destroy, all who hate them (2 Thessalonians 1:4-10).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that he will be pleased with them (2 Timothy 2:3-5).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that they will bring others into the House of Truth (2 Timothy 2:8-10).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that he will crown them with everlasting life (2 Timothy 4:5-8).  They are to continue carrying out their part of the Great Commission, because they know, that the Father of Truth will greatly reward them (Hebrews 10:32-36). 

The sixth directive is, that the Children of Truth tell the Good News about the Man of Truth to all people.

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they preach the Good News to every kind of person (Mark 16:15-16).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they preach the Good News that the Man of Truth died and rose again, so that all people can repent of their sin and be forgiven (Luke 24:46-48).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they tell the Good News to people throughout the whole Earth (Acts 1:8).

The Good News that the Man of Truth preached, was a message of repentance, so that people could inherit his kingdom (Matthew 4:17).  The Good News that he preached, was all about the everlasting kingdom, that the Father of Truth will give him (Matthew 4:23).  The Good News that he preached, was based on the testimony of the Original Covenant, concerning the Messiah of Israel (John 5:39-47).  The Good News that he preached, was his witness about his kingdom (John 18:36-39).

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, is all about the everlasting kingdom, that the Father of Truth will give to the Man of Truth (Matthew 10:7).   The Good News that they are to preach, is based on the testimony of the Original Covenant, concerning the Messiah of Israel (Acts 3:18-25).  The Good News that they are to preach, is a message of repentance, so that both Jews and Gentiles can inherit the kingdom of the Man of Truth (Acts 26:15-20).  The Good News that they preach, is their witness about the kingdom of the Man of Truth (Acts 28:31).

The Good News that the Man of Truth preached, was done under the authority of the Father of Truth (Luke 20:1-8).  The Good News that he preached, was his witness about what he knew from personal experience (John 3:10-12).  

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, is their witness about what they know from personal experience (Acts 2:22-32).  The Good News that they are to preach, is done under the authority of the Man of Truth (Acts 10:41-42).

The Good News that the Man of Truth preached, was preached to the poor (Matthew 11:5).  The Good News that he preached, was preached in public (Luke 20:1). 

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, is to be preached in public (Matthew 10:27).  The Good News that they are to preach, is to be preached to all ethnic groups, throughout the whole earth, so that this age can come to an end (Matthew 24:14).  The Good News that they are to preach, is meant to bring both Jews and Gentiles out of darkness (Acts 26:22-23).

The seventh directive is, that the Children of Truth confirm the Good News about the Man of Truth with supernatural signs.

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when supernatural signs confirm, that they have believed the Good News (Mark 16:17-18).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they operate in power (Luke 24:49).  The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they confirm the Good News with demonstrations of power (Acts 1:8).

The Man of Truth confirmed the Good News with many supernatural signs before many people (Matthew 4:23-25).  He confirmed the Good News by casting Spirits of Lies out of people (Matthew 8:16).  He confirmed the Good News by healing people of every kind of sickness (Matthew 9:35).  He confirmed the Good News by performing wonders (Matthew 21:14-15).  He confirmed the Good News by demonstrations of power (Luke 9:43).  He confirmed the Good News by working miracles (John 7:31).  The Father of Truth confirmed the Good News, that he preached, with supernatural signs (Acts 2:22). 

So the Man of Truth confirmed the Good News by demonstrations of power (2 Peter 1:16).

The Children of Truth are to confirm the Good News with many supernatural signs before many people (Mark 16:20).  They are to confirm the Good News by casting Spirits of Lies out of people (Luke 9:1).  They are to confirm the Good News by healing people of every kind of sickness (Luke 9:2-6).  They are to confirm the Good News by performing wonders (Acts 4:29-30).  They are to confirm the Good News by demonstrations of power (Acts 4:33).  They are to confirm the Good News by working miracles (Acts 8:5-6).  The Father of Truth will confirm the Good News that they preach with supernatural signs (Hebrews 2:3-4). 

So The Children of Truth are to confirm the Good News by demonstrations of power (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).

The eighth directive is, that the Children of Truth are to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth.

The Children of Truth carry out the Great Commission, when they speak in tongues (Mark 16:17).  They carry out the Great Commission, when they operate in the power that comes from being baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 1:4-8).

The Man of Truth had the power to fully carry out his part of the Great Commission, because of the Spirit of Truth (Luke 4:14).  He was able to confirm the Good News with many supernatural signs, because he was submerge in the Spirit of Truth  (Luke 4:18).  He had the power to confirm the Good News, because he was submerge in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 10:38).

The Man of Truth then gave some of that power to the Children of Truth, to confirm the Good News with supernatural signs, as long as he was on this Earth (Luke 9:1-2).  Before he was raised from the dead, they had the power to carry out the Great Commission, by the Spirit of Truth being with them, even though the Spirit of Truth was not living in them (John 14:16-17).

After he was raised from the dead, then the Spirit of Truth began to live in the Children of Truth, instead of being with them (John 20:19-22).  So they needed to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, after he left the Earth, to have the power to fully carry out their part of the Great Commission (Acts 1:2-5).

So the Man of Truth baptizes the Children of Truth in the Spirit of Truth, in the same way that John the Baptist baptized people in water (John 1:32-34).  He wants them to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, so they will have the power to fully carry out their part of the Great Commission (Acts 1:8).

For this reason, the Man of Truth told the Children of Truth to seek after His Father, to give them the baptism of the Spirit of Truth (Luke 11:9-13).  The baptism of the Spirit of Truth is meant for everyone, who comes into the House of Truth, so they will have the power, to fully carry out their part of the Great Commission (Acts 2:38-39).  It is not enough, for them to be baptized only in water, because they also need to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 8:12-17).  They need to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth as much as they need to be baptized in water (Acts 19:2-4).

The Children of Truth know, that they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth, when they begin to speak in tongues (Acts 2:1-4).  When they speak in tongues, it is the proof, that the Father of Truth has given what He promised, the baptism of the Spirit of Truth (Acts 2:33).  When they speak in tongues, it is proof, that they have received the gift of the baptism of the Spirit of Truth (Acts 10:44-47).  When they speak in tongues, it is proof, that the Man of Truth has baptized them in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 11:15-17).  When they speak in tongues, it is proof, that they have been baptized in the Spirit of Truth as well as water (Acts 19:5-6).

The Children of Truth need to speak in tongues, so they can be strengthen to carry out the Great Commission (1 Corinthians 14:4-5).  They need to speak in tongues, to show that they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth, because that is part of the Great Commission (1 Corinthians 14:39).

The Children of Truth need to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, so they can confirm the Good News with supernatural signs, and fully carry out the Great Commission (Romans 15:19).  They need to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, so they can confirm the Good News with power, and fully carry out the Great Commission (1 Thessalonians 1:5-10).

How do people start carrying out the Great Commission?

No one can start carrying out the Great Commission, until they come into the House of Truth.

They cannot do anything in the name of the Man of Truth, until they are under the authority of the Man of Truth.  They cannot go and teach people to follow the commandments of  the Man of Truth, until they make a commitment to obey the Man of Truth themselves.  They cannot baptize others as a sign of repentance from sin, until they have repented from sin.  They cannot be committed to following the Man of Truth regardless of the consequences, until they make a commitment to start following the Man of Truth.  They cannot preach the Good News about the kingdom of the Man of Truth, until they make the Man of Truth their king.  They cannot have the Spirit of Truth confirm the message of the Good News with supernatural signs, until they believe the Good News.  They cannot be baptized in the Spirit of Truth by the Man of Truth, and begin speaking in tongues, until they come into the House of Truth.

You can start carrying out the Great Commission, when you come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth the king of your life, because you believe the Good News, that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
