“For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God…”
CAG teaches this verse predicts a present “Age of Judgment” in which Almighty God (Yang Xiangbin) purifies believers through harsh words and ongoing condemnation, which they claim is necessary for salvation.
Peter addresses believers suffering persecution. “Judgment” refers to testing and discipline, not condemnation or a new salvific age. The point is comparative: if God allows His people to suffer now, what will happen to those who reject the gospel? This is pastoral encouragement, not a prophecy of a new incarnation or new revelation.
James 1:2–4; Hebrews 12:5–11; Romans 8:17–18; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:3
Peter comforts suffering believers; CAG invents a new age of salvation by judgment.
2. John 12:47–48 — “The Word I Have Spoken Will Judge Him”
Biblical Text (ESV)

Correct Meaning
Supportive Scripture

“The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.”
CAG claims Jesus foretold a future era in which God would speak new words of judgment through Almighty God, judging believers in the present age.
Jesus explicitly places judgment on “the last day” and grounds it in His own words already spoken. The verse teaches final judgment, not ongoing purification through new revelation. CAG must change the timing (“last day”), the agent (Jesus), and the content (“my words”) to sustain their claim..
John 5:22–27; John 6:39–40; Acts 17:31; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11–15
Judgment is future and Christ-centered, not a present program administered by CAG.
3. John 16:8–11 — “He Will Convict the World”
Biblical Text (ESV)

Supportive Scripture

“When he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment…”
CAG claims this describes new revelations spoken by Almighty God that judge and purify believers for salvation in the present age.
Jesus describes the Holy Spirit’s ministry: convicting the world through the proclamation of the gospel, bearing witness to Christ, and affirming the certainty of judgment. This occurs through Scripture and preaching—not through a new incarnation or new writings.
John 14:26; John 15:26–27; Acts 2:37; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Ephesians 1:13–14
The Spirit glorifies Christ and applies Scripture; CAG substitutes their leader for the Spirit.
4. Hebrews 9:27 — “After That Comes Judgment”
Biblical Text (ESV)
CAG's claim
Correct Meaning
Supportive Scripture

“It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.”
CAG teaches believers must undergo present earthly judgment through Almighty God’s words to avoid future judgment.
The text states a universal sequence: death, then judgment. Hebrews emphasizes the finality and sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice, leaving no room for a present salvific judgment process before death.
Hebrews 9:12; Hebrews 10:14; Romans 8:1; John 5:24; 2 Corinthians 5:8
Christ’s work is final; judgment follows death, not obedience to CAG.
5. Revelation 14:6–7 — “The Hour of His Judgment Has Come”
Biblical Text (ESV)
CAG's claim
Correct Meaning
Supportive Scripture

“Fear God… because the hour of his judgment has come.”
CAG uses this to claim the present “Age of Kingdom” is the age of judgment carried out through their movement.
The context is unmistakably eschatological: angels, Babylon’s fall, final wrath, and cosmic judgment. It describes future divine judgment, not an internal church-age process.
Acts 17:31; Romans 2:5–8; 2 Thessalonians 1:7–10; Revelation 19:15
A future cosmic judgment is in view, not a present purification program.
6. Psalm 50:3–4 — “Our God Comes; He Does Not Keep Silence”
Biblical Text (ESV)
CAG's claim
Correct Meaning
Supportive Scripture
Doctrinal Summary

“Our God comes; he does not keep silence…”
CAG interprets “not keeping silence” as proof of ongoing new revelation spoken today.
Psalm 50 depicts a divine courtroom scene of final judgment using poetic imagery. God’s “speaking” is judicial declaration, not progressive revelation.
Psalm 96:13; Isaiah 66:15–16; Matthew 25:31–32; Revelation 20:11–15
Poetic judgment imagery does not authorize modern prophecy or new scripture.
