036.075 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned).

If you can replace as with a pronoun, then it functions as a pronoun; e.g., one who/that follows the Message; if you can replace as with the preposition like, then it functions as an adverb; e.g., brought up like a troop; stands forth like an open adversary!; if you can make sentences out of the words that come before and after as, then as functions as a conjunction; e.g., He is good as gold (is good). The sentences are He is good and Gold is good.
