In that time I've learned that the only thing types like GPH are "exposing" is that they have nothing positive to offer in way of the gospel message or what Jesus Christ can do to change our lives and our hearts. Instead they offer destruction, hostility and acrimony.

I do not agree with the tenets of DKC's faith, but I don't see him intentionally speeding lies about the Catholic Church, or relentlessly abusing other Christians in such a way that makes me wonder if he is Christian.

There are more than a few people that call themselves Christian on these forums that really need top sit down and ask themselves what are they really trying to accomplish. Are they building up the body of Christ, or merely saying "Thank God I am not...."

A Christian is not defined by how nice they are about heresy, otherwise Paul would have been run out for not “building up the body of Christ” in his battle with the false apostles/teachers:

2Co 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
2Co 11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
2Co 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

The UCG, along with other cults, not only deny the essentials of Christianity, starting off with the trinity, but assert that all Christendom is in apostascy, with their church only having the Holy Spirit. Quite literally, that is the teaching of the UCG, which requires the laying on of hands by members of their church in order to receive the Spirit in the first place.

My goal was only to let Freepers know that the source of this article was a well known religious cult which teaches such things. Knowledge is power, ya know.

By the way, be very careful who you assert is a member of the body of Christ.

2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
