Confronting: the Kingdom of Cults, Counterfeit Christianity, and Hategroups

By Dr. John Thomas Wylie

Characterizing a faction as a religious gathering which claims approval by Christ and the Bible yet dismisses or mutilates the Gospel, Dr. Wylie talks about an assortment of religions, loathe gatherings, and fake Christianity. Recognizing cliques and detesting gatherings, fake Christianity is the thing required for clergy and lay people who will stand up to individuals from such religions. Inquiries in the content for every section make this a fundamental instrument for individual and gathering dialogues.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Dr. John Thomas Wylie

The Reverend Dr. John Thomas Wylie is one who has dedicated his life to the work of God’s Service, the service of others; and being a powerful witness for the Gospel of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Dr. Wylie was called into the Gospel Ministry June 1979, whereby in that same year he entered The American Baptist College of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, Nashville, Tennessee. As a young Seminarian, he read every book available to him that would help him better his understanding of God as well as God’s plan of Salvation and the Christian Faith. He made a commitment as a promising student that he would inspire others as God inspires him. He understood early in his ministry that we live in times where people question not only who God is; but whether miracles are real, whether or not man can make a change, and who the enemy is or if the enemy truly exists. Dr. Wylie carried out his commitment to God, which has been one of excellence which led to his earning his Bachelors of Arts in Bible/Theology/Pastoral Studies. Faithful and obedient to the call of God, he continued to matriculate in his studies earning his Masters of Ministry from Emmanuel Bible College, Nashville, Tennessee & Emmanuel Bible College, Rossville, Georgia. Still, inspired to please the Lord and do that which is well – pleasing in the Lord’s sight, Dr. Wylie recently on March 2006, completed his Masters of Education degree with a concentration in Instructional Technology earned at The American Intercontinental University, Holloman Estates, Illinois. Dr. Wylie also previous to this, earned his Education Specialist Degree from Jones International University, Centennial, Colorado and his Doctorate of Theology from The Holy Trinity College and Seminary, St. Petersburg, Florida. Dr. Wylie has served in the capacity of pastor at two congregations in Middle Tennessee and Southern Tennessee, as well as served as an Evangelistic Preacher, Teacher, Chaplain, Christian Educator, and finally a published author, writer of many great inspirational Christian Publications such as his first publication: 112 “Only One God: Who Is He?” – published August 2002 via formally 1st books library (which is now AuthorHouse Book Publishers located in Bloomington, Indiana & Milton Keynes, United Kingdom) which caught the attention of The Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper. Dr. Wylie is happily married to Angel G. Wylie, a retired Dekalb Elementary School teacher who loves to work with the very young children and who always encourages her husband to move forward in the Name of Jesus Christ. They have Four children, 11 grand-children and one great-grandson all of whom they are very proud. Both Dr. Wylie and Angela Wylie serve as members of the Salem Baptist Church, located in Lilburn, Georgia, where the Reverend Dr. Richard B. Haynes is Senior pastor. Dr. Wylie has stated of his wife: “she knows the charm and beauty of sincerity, goodness, and purity through Jesus Christ. Yes, she is a Christian and realizes the true meaning of loveliness as the reflection as her life of holy living gives new meaning, hope, and purpose to that of her husband, her children, others may say of her, “Behold the handmaiden of the Lord.” A Servant of Jesus Christ!

About the author

INTRODUCTION

In an attempt to prepare a basic usable publication, I have noted what the gospel says pertaining to (false doctrines): Confronting: The Kingdom of Cults, Counterfeit Christianity, and Hate Groups etc… In this publication, there are countless other religions and groups besides known cults who oppose Christianity and are merely included for study and informative purposes.

As Christians, we must understand the gospel of God’s grace and to trust in the living Jesus Christ to aid us when in the presence of the cultist. The essentials of authentic faith reflected in the following seven questions are designed to help the Christian identify a missionary or representative of the cults. Those questions are:

(1) Do you base your teachings on revelations or sacred writings other than the Bible?

(2) Is your primary task preaching the Gospel of Christ? (see I Cor. 15:3-4). The most important business is proclaiming the Gospel – Is it His? There is no other (Gal. 1:8-9)

(3) Do you believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the anointed one of God who has come in the flesh (I John 4:1-3)? Is Jesus Of Nazareth the Eternal Word of God become flesh? (See John 1:1,14).

Denial of the Lordship of Christ is the spirit of anti-Christ. (see II John 9)

(4) Do you believe Christ’s shed blood is the only basis for the forgiveness of sins?

(see Romans 3:24-25).

(5) Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead? (see Romans 10:9-10).

(6) Are you personally trusting Jesus Christ as your Redeemer and Lord? The gospel summons every man to trust his risen Redeemer.

(7) Do you depend upon some achievements of your own for your salvation, or is your trust exclusively in the grace of God? (Not by human achievements or doing good. See Romans and Galatians – that salvation is the gift of God’s grace, not by works lest any man should boast. See Ephesians 2:8-9. These questions aid one in not only identifying a cult but to guide Christians in evangelizing cultists.

Kingdom of Cults: Counterfeit Christianity. What is it? If is not Christianity but a cult. When our Lord Jesus Christ spoke not only of wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes; But Jesus also declared ; Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:3-6,11).

Paul states in I Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 4:3-4: Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Counterfeit Christianity (false doctrines, sects, cults, and isms, hate groups, etc… – basically all
