I did a quick bit of googling; whatever name you give it, it's blasphemy and heresy.

http://www.newchurch.org/

From the article:

"The New Church teaches that God came to earth as Jesus Christ. Christianity was established in response to the Savior's Coming. At the time of Jesus' birth, hell had gained such power over earth that the prevailing mindset was one of evil. Humanity was in great danger. Through His life and death on earth, Jesus restored the freedom to choose between good and evil, thus saving the human race. The church grew but, with time, it began to fall away from what it was originally intended to be. Once again, the people of earth were prey to spiritual darkness."

In order to bring the light of truth to the world, God came again. However, this time He did not appear in human form. He came as a new body of revelation given to us through the works of Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth century scientist and theologian. A New Christianity was established in response to these truths, helping to spread God's teachings to people on earth. The New Church is one of many organizations dedicated to Swedenborg Theology.".

No, thanks.

Any church that preaches this (or any person that believes this) is calling Jesus Christ a liar.

"I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
