Revelation 3:7–13 [Session 37]

May 21, 2015 by Mark Trotter

The Letter To The Church of Philadelphia, Part 7

The positive impact of the Philadelphian Church Period upon the world cannot be overstated. Had it not been for the powerful move of God through the gospel during this period, it’s hard to say where the world would be right now.

However, the Devil didn’t roll over and die during this period! Some of the most devastating cults and false teachings against true Christianity also surfaced during this time in history. Their damnable impact is still being felt today as well. We’ll talk about how it happened…

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. Though God was moving in incredibly powerful ways in the Philadelphian Period, the devil didn’t roll over and die! #WordStrong
  2. One of the key ways the devil has worked in the last 200 years or so has been through American cults and false religions. #WordStrong
  3. Alexander Campbell founded a false religion (Campbellites) that clings to Acts 2:38 & preaches baptismal regeneration. #WordStrong
  4. Other denominations spawned by the Campbellites include the Christian Church, the Disciples of Christ and the Church of Christ. #WordStrong
  5. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, claimed visits from God, Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Moses & Elijah! #WordStrong
  6. Mormonism teaches that God used to be a man, man can become God, Jesus was created, Satan was His brother, & other blasphemies. #WordStrong
  7. Ellen White founded 7th Day Adventism which teaches that salvation is by observing Jewish signs given to Israel—(the Sabbath). #WordStrong
  8. Charles Russell founded the Jehovah’s (false) Witnesses which teaches Christ was a created being—and is A god, but not THE God. #WordStrong
  9. Christian Scientists were founded by Mary Eddy. Like Grape Nuts (not grapes & not nuts)—they are not Christians or Scientists! #WordStrong
  10. The most amazing thing about these cults is that people actually follow them! They are all American & less than 200 years old! #WordStrong
