There is lot of wisdom in what you have shared. Almost all the points you have posted are very sound and matches with what I was told as a warning sign against this group.

thanks, brothers for your contributions..After reading the books they have given me and hearing some firsthand testimonies on the net. I just change my mind and don't feel free to go anymore.. though I've just been there twice and by reason of my experience also.I think they somehow contradict some of their teaching by their practice, like using a single book on all their "branches" but emphasizes being led with the Spirit and not by formality. Also on their evangelistic method as some brothers have already shared.I don't undermine their sincerity but I just can't go with the flow..And I think am not tenacious enough to be like Martin Luther or Art Katz to reform the group :)May I just ask your prayers that the Lord would led us to church to be with..
They are following me up, how so you think should I respond?
