The Three Self Church Is My Umbrella

The Three-Self Church Is My Umbrella is a 2017 short gospel drama film. It reveals the truth that the fearful cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

## Plot

One time, the Chinese Communist government captured many Christians of the Church of Almighty God from a particular location late at night. This matter caused a huge commotion locally. It triggered discussions amongst the members of the Three-Self Church. Some people believed that the Eastern Lightning has suffered the Chinese Communist government's cruel suppression and persecution. It is too dangerous to believe in the Eastern Lightning, and it is safest to believe in the Three-Self Church. They will not suffer hardships and they will be able to enter the heavenly kingdom. Other people believed that the Eastern Lightning is indeed the true way, but the persecution and arrest it faces is too severe. If they were to believe, they thought that it is better to believe in secret. Once the Chinese Communist government topples, they can believe openly in Almighty God. Some people had investigated the Eastern Lightning and yet, they believed that the Eastern Lightning spreads the gospel and bears witness to the Lord with no regard to life or death and that they are praised by God. They thought that the people who hide inside the Three-Self Church are cowardly people who drift through life without purpose and that they are not worthy to enter into the heavenly kingdom. … After this heated discussion, was everyone able to know what kind of people are praised by the Lord and whether the fearful can enter into the heavenly kingdom?

## Features

There is a prophecy in the Book of Revelation: “**But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death**” (Rev 21:8). This film is about the heated debate focused on the problems such as “What are the attributes of a fearful person?” and “What path does a fearful person walk in his belief in God?” and it provides a realistic and thought-provoking answer.

In this film, through a hot debate, the believers have new understanding of the Lord Jesus’ words in the Bible, “**So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple**” (Luk 14:33), “**Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven**” (Mat 7:21), as well as new readings of the prophecies in Revelation, “**These are they which came out of great tribulation**” (Rev 7:14), and “These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes” (Rev 14:4). They gain an insight into the issues such as “What kind of people can enter the kingdom of heaven?” and the way to entering into the kingdom of heaven. This film has a profound meaning in provoking people to re-examine their own paths of believing in God and reflect on how to greet the Lord’s return.

This film not only reflects upon the fact of the Chinese Communist government’s deranged attacks and persecution of the Chinese house churches, it also provokes people to dwell deeper into the realistic questions of “Why the CCP frantically rounds up and persecutes Christians in house churches” and “whether those members of the Three-Self churches who believe in God under the control of the CCP as well as those who are afraid to accept the appearance and work of God in the last days can enter the kingdom of heaven.” It plays a critical role in warning and guiding all those who only acknowledge the name of the Lord but dare not seek and study the true way because of fear.

The movie was independently produced and completed by TRUE LIGHT FILM STUDIO of The Church of Almighty God in July 2017.
