If the tide has changed and some of the ICOC congregations have truly gone more main stream like you are implying then that's great. I'm glad to hear it. Getting new members and keeping them should be easier without all that extra stuff that earned the ‘cult’ rating in the past.
If you can bring a non-believer into the church and get them to welcome Jesus into their hearts, I'm all for it. My experience with ICOC was not what you just said. So yeah, I admit I'm biased.
Thank you for the reply. I wasn’t offended and didn’t take it as an assault. It was a good, clean discussion. There are too many divisions out there and I don’t believe that it is exactly God’s plan. Hopefully, in the end, we can all find common ground and just be about God’s will and get as many souls to Heaven as possible.
