Summary

We continue our three week deep dive into the International Christian Church with Part 1 of a two part examination and response to the ICC with Steve Matthews from ExposingTheCults. The ICC is an aggressive group which claims to be "the very Movement of God" and can be found on college and university campuses across the country and operating in dozens of nations around the world. Last episode we looked at the recent split-off movement from the ICC, the Restored Church Worldwide (the RCW). In this episode we trace the origins of the ICC from the establishment of the mainline Church of Christ in the Restoration Movement, through the movements established by Kip McKean which include the very controversial Boston Church of Christ, the International Churches of Christ (the ICOC), and the International Christian Church. The doctrines of the ICC, their insistence on discipling relationships, and the methods of recruitment are also explained. Make sure to join us in Part 2 as we respond to the verses used by the ICC and the mainline Church of Christ to try to erroneously prove that baptism is necessary for salvation. For a free resource from our guest on the ICC please visit http://www.watchman.org/icc Please consider partnering with Cultish to continue this ministry: HERE The ExposingTheCults website is coming soon!
