breytonhartge SG With thousands of different forms of structure, worship, and service manifest in the Christian church today, there is a great need for Christians to be certain that they are a part of a biblical New Testament body. How can we separate the genuine from the counterfeit?

breytonhartge SG Just to continue with this thing on the phony church... based on an article I read a while ago.. the thing that the article referred to was the ancient ecclesiastical shell game, a bait-and-switch tactic called the Pergamum Scam. What is the Pergamum Scam? Promises you Jesus but gives you programsplus just enough of a lift to get you through the next week, at which point youll need another fix. Promises you five-fold leadership to bring you to maturity like unto the stature of the fulness of Christbut gives you one-fold leadership that leaves you at a pubescent plateau two years after conversion. Promises you eternal life but gives you, in the end, eternal boredom.
Chin Eng SG ...errr..... don't mean to stroke any fire..... in your POV.... isn't all church phony? especially those who hellenised the doctrine..... I noted that the website you had briefly mentioned also used Jesus name as Jesus.... isn't this also hellenising the name of Yeshua? this is just a checking question.
vince69 SG wait, we talking about mdm Ho, the singer, Pastor Kong's wife, right? Pastor Kong already said she is not a pastor. Her name also not in the key church leader's profile. http://www.chc.org.sg/english/our_church/church_leaders.cfm# so, what I mean isthis statement does not seems to be targeting at CHC loh (or this statement have incorrect info)
breytonhartge SG asking the question without inputting my coloured bias so as to generate a hopefully healthy discussion from other peoples POV.
despondent SG juz to share sth...a phony church is usually one who uses the same terms as mainstream christians but they differ greatly when studied deeper...also most of these phony churches can be defined by their deniance of the fundamentals of christianity...by tis i mean issues like virgin birth, resurrection of jesus, salvation by grace nt gd works etc...these r cults... there r also churches tat r subtlely phony. its often difficult to identify them as they distort fundamentals very subtlely...theres a well-known one in singapore tat claims onli its members r saved...however, they adhere to all the fundamentals of christianity...its their over-regimental n iron-hand way of doing things tat make them phony...
