True Religion and Counterfeit Religion

Description

“This book will be an enormous help to all who seek to engage the Christian faith with the false faiths that surround the world-wide church.” —Bruce A. Ware.
As the church explodes in Asia, Africa, and other parts of the world, counterfeit Christian groups have begun an aggressive invasion to steal God’s sheep. Part One of True Religion and Counterfeit Religionis a commentary on 1, 2, and 3 John with a focus on using the 60-plus diagnostic statements in John’s letters to help Christians recognize false teachers and false teaching. Part Two uses these diagnostic statements to survey 11 counterfeit Christian groups and movements around the world, including newer groups like Ahn Sahng-Hong, Eastern Lightning (Almighty God), and Lee Man-hee, as well as older groups like Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are also chapters on the prosperity gospel and liberal Christianity.
