Biblical Proof the ICC Is Wrong
Recently, a current member left the following message in my guestbook:
I have been a member of the ICOC for 1 year now. And I can see no solid argument for your beleif [sic] that my church is a cult. You have expressed alot of feelings that just doesn't [sic] cut it when it comes to salvation. I would like you to show me BIBLICALLY what the church is doing is wrong. This includes everyone who reads this message.
While this isn't N-Files material (it would need a bit more bitterness and anger, or possibly less coherance, to qualify for that, not just a few mistakes in grammar), it does make an interesting challenge. There are a couple pages on this site about the ICC's doctrine which need updating and improvement anyway, so I might as well make a new section, and add some more entries. I've got quite a few articles planned (as you can see by the number that are labeled "Coming soon!"), and if you think there's anything else you want to see my opinion on, email it to me. I'll take requests from critics, current members, or any interested party, although whether I'll actually put up a page about it depends on whether or not I've got the time, how much I know about the subject, and whether or not I agree with the ICC's view of the subject.
- The Marty and the Money - Is the ICC telling members to disobey the Bible from the pulpit, and show preference to the rich?
- Does the Bible Demand Discipling? - Coming soon!
- Praying Jesus Into Your Heart - Is it Biblical or not? Do "denominational" churches actually teach what the ICC says they do about this? I've written some ramblings about it, but it could use a revision, which will be moved to this section when it comes. Coming soon, hopefully.
- Authority, Unity, and Leadership - How much authority does the Bible give to leaders of the church? What does the Bible really say about unity? Coming sometime.
- Denominationalism and False Definitions - Is it prideful for a group to proclaim itself the only true church? Is "One city, one church" actually a principle from the Bible? Coming hopefully before the Second Coming.
