We conclude our three week deep dive into the International Christian Church with Part 2 of a two part examination and response to the ICC with Steve Matthews from ExposingTheCults.The ICC is an aggressive group which claims to be "the very Movement of God" and can be found on college and university campuses across the country and operating in dozens of nations around the world. In this series we have traced the origins of the ICC from the establishment of the mainline Church of Christ in the Restoration Movement, through the movements established by Kip McKean which include the very controversial Boston Church of Christ, the International Churches of Christ (the ICOC), and the International Christian Church.We have also taken a look at the Restored Church Worldwide which has recently split off from the ICC, and have responded to the movements' teachings about discipling relationships and central leadership.In this episode we respond to the verses used by the ICC and the mainline Church of Christ to try to erroneously prove that baptism is necessary for salvation, and demonstrate how salvation comes through faith in Christ alone.Please consider partnering with Cultish to continue this ministry: HEREFor a free resource from our guest on the ICC please visit http://www.watchman.org/iccThe ExposingTheCults website is coming soon!

This week, we kick off a three-week deep dive into the International Christian Church (ICC) with a look at the current split within the movement. Many ICC members are choosing to leave and join the Restored Church Worldwide (RCW), forcing a tough decision: remain in the ICC to preserve its unity, which they’ve believed to be “the very Movement of God,” or follow other disciples into a new movement that’s excited to restore the Book of Acts in this generation. In this episode, countercult apologist Steve Matthews and former longtime ICC member Coltin Rohn examine the growing divide between the ICC and RCW, offering a third alternative grounded in Scripture for struggling ICC disciples. Don't miss this powerful episode, and be sure to tune in next week as we continue our deep dive into the roots of the ICC, the International Churches of Christ, and the Campbell-Stone Restoration Movement that laid the foundation for the creation of the Boston Church of Christ in 1979. Please consider partnering with Cultish to continue this ministry: HEREThe ExposingTheCults website is coming soon!
