We are praying for them. Thank you for this helpful advice.
The words you said about the so-called MOTAs are deep and difficult to understand to us in Vietnam. I will think and study about these things more. I don't understand the abbreviation of MOTA.
With God's grace, last time I translated a post of "Very good start, but in progress, many misinterpretations of Scripture" by Fer74 into Vietnamese, then I emailed directly to quite a many leading- ones in the LSM congregations in Vietnam. This time I ask your permission and that of brothers Ohio and Nell to let me translate your just three posts here and translate them into Vietnamese, then post them on facebook and email to them all.
Thank You so much-
Hodos
The MOTA abbreviation stands for "Minister Of The Age". Sorry I didn't say that in my first post. The saints you quoted did not say "minister of the age" (MOTA), but when speaking of Nee and Lee being the "zenith" of a "recovery", the MOTA concept may be a big part of what is behind that thought.

In the semi-annual trainings, the co-workers often remind and emphasize that Nee and Lee are the "ministers of the age" (except they are not), and recently even added a new layer of idolatry that Nee and Lee are better and more constituted ministers of the age than any of the ministers of the age before them.

Are you aware of the teaching of "minister of the age"? I can explain it some if it would help clarify what I said in my other post. However, if the minister of the age concept is not a prevalent one among the saints in Vietnam, then an explanation may not be useful or relevant.

You are welcome to translate any portions of my posts that you think are helpful.
