B.R. Hicks and Christ Gospel International

[JustDan]

I have been associated with Christ Gospel since 1966 and assure you that it is neither cultic nor misleading. I have in my possesion the teaching back to 1960 on reel to reel tape along with most of the published books. I also have an extensive library in regard to major cult organization (ie the mormons and Witnesses). I have completed numerous courses from the CGC bible school along with extensive education in other mainstream Christian Colleges. Christ Gospel will just take you to places in the LORD that most people are not willing to venture. When some walk the most narrow path, others tend to ridicule when they don't understand. There is nothing mystic or weird about depth in the word. Rev Hicks has been accused of much, weathered every storm and continues on the straight and narrow unscathed. She is probably 97 and still teaches twice weekly. I do not attend a Christ Gospel Church but agree with and assure you that people come and go as they please, without any mysticism or mind control. She will be tirst to tell you she is not perfect, only human. I do enjoy attending their summer convention when opportunity presents.I am active in the ministry and find it to be refreshing each time.
It's all about growth in the LORD Jesus Christ and His mercy. I have read many blogs and other online critics of which most are former CGC attendees with an ax to grind.

I like the baptism in Jesus name and the fervent prayer. Is the charge of "Univeralism true?

No on Universalism. Most of the attacks on Christ Gospel have been lodged by people that wanted a greater position in the church and did not measure up, some I attended the church with years ago. Sister Hicks was financially comfortable before the church was started and has never profited from the organization at anytime. I was in Louisville during the great scandals of the 70's and they were nothing but witch hunts in the aftermath of Jim Jones. The organization has without question emerged from each and every supposed scandal faultless.
I find it very disheartening that professed children of the LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ want too tear each other to pieces. Our purpose is to lift up The Name of Jesus with all humility and let Him be in charge.
Anyone that has spent nearly 70 years spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching others how to be more like Him is okay in my book and I thank the LORD that my path crossed hers so many years ago. I am a blessed man.

I was impressed by their stress on holiness. My problem with them is foundation doctrine.
