I would recommend everyone read this link by CARM before getting too involved with this thread. You may even want to look up the UCG’s website.
Evidently, they teach that God the Son and God the Father are two separate gods, who are “one God” by being in the “Family of God.” Human beings can partake of divinity by joining the “family of God,” thus becoming God by their definition.
They claim the Holy Spirit is not a Person, but is a force. And this force they possess, which they only possess, because of their keeping the dietary, festival and other Old Testament ordinances. In order to even receive the Holy Spirit, you must have someone from the UCG lay hands and pray over you. Thus, no Christian has the Holy Spirit, since He is in the sole possession of the true church of God on Earth (the UCG).
They also claim there is salvation after death, and deny the eternal torment of the damned.
I’m sure it gets worse, but that’s just a quick overview.
Thanks for the link...
Regards,
Caww
