When you are baptized in the Church of God, your name and biographical information are recorded in a booklet called the Book of Life and you are assigned a life number. The Church of God claims that they are following the Bible's teachings by recording names in the Book of Life because the Bible says that only those whose names are recorded in the Book of Life will go to heaven.

Names in the Book of Life can be erased and rewritten, something that only God can do. However, according to the Church of God's bylaws, Mr. Kim has the final authority to discipline members. Therefore, Mr. Kim has the authority to erase the names of Church of God members from the Book of Life, which is a deification of himself as God.
