Lessons from this Brother Eli's video:

Brother Eli does not arrogate unto himself to be the true church, rather the imitator of the true church as 1Cor. 1:2 rightly expressed. The true church was referred to as the church of God.

Truly, it's unwise to claim what one is not. However, we have accepted the doctrines and beliefs of the true church of God which was formed 2000 years ago by our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Thes. 2:14 admonishes Christians to be followers of the church of God. If one imitates or emulates the church of God, such a one is doing the right thing.

The true church which Jesus established had power to cast out demons, heal all manner of sickness, and even raise the dead. Those who are presently claiming to be the true church of God lack such powers. They can neither heal themselves not any other person, not to talk of raising the dead.

You can see they suffer from sicknesses like cancer, diabetes and the rest, and cannot heal themselves, unlike the Apostles that constituted the original true church of God.
