So I finally found out exactly WHICH lunatic church some of my close relatives are faithful members of, after years of them not telling me exactly what church they attend just telling me "church of God", which I knew wasn't Cleveland, Tennessee because I would've been okay with that at least.

World Mission Society Church of God
I've run into some crazy religions, this one takes the cake. Apparently it's a growing faith in the US, it has about 1.6 million members worldwide.
Major beliefs are:
1. That man and women were created in the image of God the Father and God the Mother, more commonly known as "the mother God" or "the Heavenly Mother".
2. The man who started the church in Korea many decades ago known as "Ahnsahnhong" is the second coming of Christ (he died many years ago in the 70s), and is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit hence they baptize in the Name of the Father (Jehovah), Name of the Son (Jesus), Name of the Holy Spirit (Ahnsahnhong).
3. Humans are truly demons who fell from Heaven and sinned, sometimes unknowingly but were cast down by accident almost. Our only way to salvation is to worship the "mother God," worship on the sabbath, celebrate the feasts, and to be baptized in the name of Ahnsahnhong.
4. Christmas, Easter, all holidays, and birthdays are all pagan holidays. The cross is a pagan symbol. The Holy Spirit is a man, not a spirit. The trinity are not just separate persons, they are separate gods.
5. The "mother god" is embodied by Ahnsahnhong's wife who lead the church after his death.
6. They teach women ought to wear veils. Not sure about magic hair doctrine, however I'd be shocked if they didn't teach it.
I watched a video on youtube of a young lady who was victimized and tricked into being baptized at the church (they never told her they worship Ahnsahnhong as God) and when she found out she broke down and repented. It disgusted me. Has anyone had any experience with this group? They're fairly new to the United States.
