When visiting a church
When looking for a church it’s best to seek an established local church which holds to and teaches directly from the Bible. A healthy church will have a loving community and emphasise the free gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ.
It is best to avoid churches in which:
- teachers claim to be a prophet or apostle and teach private revelation from God rather than teaching from His Word
- teachers focus on self & social change and not on Christ
- teachers state that there are works one must do to earn or maintain salvation
- the church is led by a woman as this is not God’s design for His church
Similarly, avoid pseudo-Christian cults such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, Latter Day Saints (a.k.a. Mormons), Seventh Day Adventists, Christian Science, Shincheonji (a.k.a. Parachristo/NHNE), WMSCOG and Unitarian/Oneness ‘churches’ as these groups teach doctrines contrary to Scripture, twist the Bible to fit their teaching and in some cases rewrite it!
