Shincheonji Cult Update

It tells us in the Bible about the need for us to be on our guard against false teachers and anyone who would come and try and change or add to the message that God has revealed to us through Jesus and in his Word. In that vein, we wanted to update you on the activities of the Shincheonji cult.

We have become aware in the last few days that they have changed their tactics and are now presenting themselves publicly as a mainstream Bible Study. They are however in conflict with basic orthodox teaching that all Christian churches have always held to. They are not a Christian church. This is not a mainstream Bible Study. 

As an example, we are not looking for a promised pastor with special revelation from Jesus. We believe that God has revealed himself most fully and most accurately in his son Jesus Christ.  There is no secret message or wisdom, it is freely available to us through His word, the Bible.

If you have seen a flier, inviting you to an online seminar, please be aware of who they are.  If you’ve been to one of these Zoom classes already, stop going and reach out to Simon or Jenny to process what you may have already heard. For anyone else, please stay far away from this group.

We do not need to panic or be fearful, but we seek to be wise stewards of our own hearts and minds, and we are called to love and care for one another well. Any questions or concerns you can reach Simon and Jenny on east@thestreet.org.nz.
