The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG)
is a cult1. Beware!
These names are
also associated with this movement: Mother Jerusalem, New Jerusalem Mother, God
the Mother, Heavenly Mother, etc.
This cult “was
established by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, in the Republic of Korea,
at the ends of the earth in the east, in 1964.”2
They claim “to
have over 3 million members, in nearly 7,500 churches, throughout 175
countries–all within only half a century.”3
Most of
their teachings are heretical. Herein I present three significantly heretical
teachings that are dangerous for our soul:
1. They
believe that the Second Coming of Christ
has already occurred in the personhood of
Christ Ahnsahnghong, “So the First Coming Jesus, who came as the
prophetical David, established the new covenant and preached it. In the same
way, the Second Coming Christ, who is to come as the prophetical David, should
also establish the new covenant and preach it for 37 years.
It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who
fulfilled the prophecies of the prophets. Christ Ahnsahnghong, the prophetical
David, was born in 1918. At the age of 30, in the year of 1948, He was baptized
according to the prophecy of the fig tree. He started His ministry at His age
of 30 as the prophetical King David. In 1985, the 37th year, He ascended to
heaven. Exactly for 37 years, He preached the New Covenant Passover which is
the sign of David.
Christ Ahnsahnghong foretold that He would pass away
after preaching for 37 years, four years before His death.”4
2. Salvation, according to WMSCOG, is gained
through belief in Christ Ahnsahnghong (the founder of this cult.), “Christ
Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ whom the Bible testifies about, and He
is King David we have to seek and fear in the last days. Let us receive
salvation by believing in Christ Ahnsahnghong, the spiritual David.”5
Any group that denies salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ cannot be
Christian.
3. They also believe that keeping the Passover is essential for salvation, “The
New Covenant Passover is the core of the Bible and an essential feast that
grants God’s people protection from disasters, the forgiveness of sins and
eternal life.... When we celebrate the New Covenant
Passover, Christ is in us and we become one body with Christ. Like this, God
promises us protection from disasters and eternal life.”6
To conclude,
if you happen to locate this cult in your vicinity, please ignore them or
evangelize them if you have the necessary knowledge and spiritual strength.
If any of your friends are into this cult, please pray for them, and speak the truth to them to liberate them from the clutches of evil.
Endnotes:
1“A cult is a perversion, a distortion
of historical Christianity and/or a rejection of the historic teachings of the
Christian church, says Josh McDowell. He also cites Walter Martin’s (a Baptist
minister and a counter-cultist) definition of a cult: A cult, then, is a group
of people polarized around someone’s interpretation of the Bible and is
characterized by major deviations from orthodox Christianity relative to the
cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith, particularly the fact that God
became man in Jesus Christ. 1” (https://rajkumarrichard.blogspot.com/2020/09/cult-watch-definition-modus-operandi.html)
