在香港，一般有子女的信心家庭，由於父母需要絕對出席所有聚會及靈修營，而所有聚會均不許帶同十二歲以下子女參加，因此，宣教士/牧者會要求作父母的牧者，自費請菲傭來照顧兒女，使作父母的牧者能放工後，時刻服事羔羊和出席聚會。曾有一對香港大學的牧者，因沒有工人照顧兒女，卻因要絕對出席晚間所有聚會，而經常整晚獨留年幼的子女在家（沒有成年人陪伴），獨自吃晚飯及睡覺，使兒女疏忽照顧，其實這可能導致違法及十分危險的，可能會被檢控為虐兒。

＂你們要防備假先知。他們到你們這裡來，外面披著羊皮，裡面卻是殘暴的狼。憑著他們的果子，就可以認出他們來。荊棘上豈能摘葡萄呢﹖蒺藜裡豈能摘無花果呢﹖這樣，凡好樹都結好果子，惟獨壞樹結壞果子。好樹不能結壞果子；壞樹不能結好果子。凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來，丟在火裡。所以，憑著他們的果子就可以認出他們來。＂（太7:15-20）
Will UBF’s teaching violate HK’s law? (Translated from the above text)
In Hong Kong, the general house church’s parents need to attend all meetings and Bible Camps. Their children, aged below 12, are not allowed to appear in the meetings. Therefore, the missionaries/leaders will ask parent shepherds to pay for employing domestic helper to take care their children. So, the parent shepherds are free to attend meetings and serve sheep after working. Once, a pair of HKU parent shepherds, without domestic helper but were requested to attend all meetings, always placed their young children alone at home (without adult accompanied) to have dinner and sleep at night. Under the law of HK, such neglecting children’s behaviour might be illegal and could be very dangerous. They might be charged for child abuse.
Questions:
1. HK UBF missionaries teach Shepherds to sacrifice their families and children (entrust the families and children to God). Some shepherds even leave their young children alone at home in order to attend meetings absolutely. This behaviour may possibly violates HK laws “Leave young children alone at home”. Does it comply with Biblical teaching?
2. UBF missionaries doesn’t teach believers to held a legal wedding ceremony by legal proceedure. E.g. With HK Government registered venue and pastor. They always had a serious problem: The parents don’t know that their children was married privately in UBF. The married couple registered marriage by themselves afterwards. The unbelievers may marry by this method but as a Church, is this teaching combined with Biblical Principles?
Summary: According to HK cult experts, cults usually have poor moral conduct, e.g. David’s tribe and YD will teach believers to lie for God’s ministry. UBF will also teach believers to lie, not follow the normal law or even possibly violate HK Law for the sake of UBF ministry. You can see their ethical behaviour (the fruits) to recognize them.
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. (Matthew 7:15-20)
問題：
- 宣教士教導牧者，為了絕對出席聚會，而犧牲家庭兒女（把家庭兒女交托給神），甚至不惜獨留子女在家，令牧者們可能引致違犯香港法例＂獨留子女在家＂，這是否合符聖經的教導呢？
- UBF無教導信徒要按正常的香港法律程序，舉行一個具法律效力的婚禮，例如：要在政府註冊的場地及牧師來主持婚禮，而UBF卻曾多次出現一個嚴重的情況：在父母不知情下，在教會裏私下舉行婚禮，然後自行安排到婚姻註冊處註冊。無信仰的人或會這樣行，但作為教會，這樣教導信徒，是否正確的呢？
