Rebellion is a hellish principle . These people rebelled, and so the gate of Sheol was opened. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up all the men who belonged to Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, and all their goods. Hence they and all which belonged to them went down alive into Sheol (Numbers 16: 32-33). The gates of Hades shall not prevail against the church, but a rebellious spirit can open its gates. One reason the church sometimes does not prevail is because of the presence of the rebellious. The earth will not open its mouth unless there is a rebellious spirit. All sins release the power of death, but the sin of rebellion releases it the most. Only the obedient can shut Hades' gates and release life.

I'd say bro Nee was full of himself ... But on second thought bro Nee, at least in this statement, was full of it. This is cult thinking, teaching, and practice, plain and simple.
And this:
"The gates of Hades shall not prevail against the church, but a rebellious spirit can open its gates."
Where's that in scripture?
