After I asked sparkman this question, he responded to me in private, but mentioned that prove-all and john832 believed this way. I wanted to offer these folks to respond and clarify if they choose.
Here is another remark that john832 made.
I will provide the context.
Armstrongites think that everyone else is blinded and does not have a relationship with God except for them, including "so-called Christians" who are following a "counterfeit Christianity".
Google "Herbert Armstrong" and "so-called Christians" or "Herbert Armstrong" and "counterfeit Christianity" if you want proof that this was part of the teaching of Herbert Armstrong.
Anyways, prove-all and john832 are basically saying you guys will remember how they tried to tell you the truth but you wouldn't listen. They think they will be born into the God family, as part of the Godhead, at the resurrection. They are living a life now working toward perfection so they will be born into the God family. It is very similar to Mormonism. They view themselves as gods in embryonic form.
As mentioned before, I was an Armstrongite so I know exactly what they believe. I bought into it totally myself as a young man.
Prove-all my friend, I know what you are saying is true. Thankfully, there is a great harvest at the end of the Millennium when those who are deceived and are blinded will be given the ability to understand the truth...
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
The books are not opened to them currently but it will be quite interesting to introduce ourselves to them and say something like "you knew me as prove-all or john832" at that time.
