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?

Yes and it is forever changing because she believes in continual revelation.

So... do these people have the Holy Ghost or not?

They believe tongues is the initial evidence as in "one step" teaching.

Yeah, but I was asking do they actually have the Spirit of God?

That's a huge question. It could be asked about almost anyone. I assume people who speak in tongues have the spirit....unless they give me reason to believe otherwise.

Is going off the deep end into cultic deceptions and false doctrine a 'reason to believe otherwise'?

I do not know these people, never heard of them before, but I am just wondering... how is it so many people 'have the Spirit' and yet are so divided on SERIOUS, fundamental doctrinal issues, including 'Who is Jesus' and 'Who is God' and 'How do you get saved'?

Is God just in the business of giving people a religious thrill ride and not leading them into the Truth?

I honestly don't get it.
