Ways They have Changed
| Core Beliefs
There are several core beliefs that hold people to the 2x2 cult.
Of course, there is nothing like the witness of others raised in the cult.
2x2 Core Belief
You must be a 2x2 to be saved.
Verbal Indications
When attending a Christian funeral, 2x2s will say about the Christian deceased, "Too bad they weren't professing"
If a Christian comes to meetings and wants to have fellowship, they must profess.
Christians must be baptized again by the 2x2s to be part of the group
Writings
2x2s believe that THEY are the one true fold. So then logically if they are the one true fold, then the Good Shephard must be calling others to joing them, right?! And so if people don't join the cult, then they must be going to hell, right?!. The whole error is in their misbelief that they are the only ones going to heaven. Using this understanding, consider the implications of this 2x2s writings at http://housechurchesandapostles.blogspot.com/2009/12/more-thoughts-on-john-10.html
And I quote
More thoughts on John 10...
Jesus told about 3 different 'kinds' of sheep in this chapter. He spoke of 'my sheep' hear my voice, I know them and they follow me (Jn 10: 27). He spoke of 'other sheep' that are not of this fold, them I must bring and they will hear my voice; there will be one fold and one shepherd (Jn 10:16). One can easily understand the feelings of the good Shepherd that those that aren't of the fold must be brought in to the place of safety. Then he spoke some that believed not because you are 'not of my sheep' (Jn 10:26).
Behavioral Indications
If you meet with Christians for fellowship, 2x2s will try to convert you to their beliefs and get you to attend meetings to profess.
As a general rule they don't have fellowship with Christians.
I remember personally Wayne Harris talking with Howard Mooney about a 2x2 elder who believed others were saved and Howard had him removed from the cult. |
