WWTS cult (I like that),
for you people still following Tony, here is a little parable or illustration of what your RLc "sorry" looks like.

If a popular man, has a good job, a wonderful wife along with 3-4 kids, life is going good but some where along the way he has an affair with another woman. This goes on for about 2 months, then suddenly his wife finds out and confronts this man about the adulteress affair he is having, the marriage vows he has broken etc. This man has sinned against his wife. The Man is asked to move out. Once he is moved out, there comes an evening he is sitting in an apartment felling a deep heartfelt, and comprehensive, sorry for what he did, he calls up his wife and says He would like to come over and talk about the possibility of reconciling their relationship. His wife invites him over. But when the man shows up to see his wife, He escorts in his girl friend.

How inappropriate would that be?!

Tony Cunningham - Radiant Life - or the sycophants who still follow, none of these people have made that phone call or even sent a letter. Tony is so consumed with his self-righteousness that he continues in his false teachings hurting more and more people, peddling his counterfeit message. Blinded by his sin, Tony can't see the forest for the trees.

Instead of reconciliation, in Tony's own perversion, he as convinced his wife to have the girlfriend move in and live in hiding in Arizona.

humble yourself
I read all the posts that Ted responded to and I wish there was a way that we can get Somite back on the main forum, because I just wanna say that yes it is not okay for women to live with "young pastors" and pastors calling them adopted daughters, because when I see this to me they are not daugters but they are actually mordern day concubines, yes the pastors at rlc do really take the bible and twist it because these young girls have left their parents to live with pastors, this is very stupid and very sad. his makes me very sad and angry at the same time but who am I to judeg, all I can say to the pastors and the leadership of rlc that "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble". I have not seen the humble part yet, but I tell you that God is not going to put up with this crap to much longer. Pastors and leadership of rlc start repenting and change from your wicked ways because oneday each one of us will stand before the living God and we will be held accountable for our actions. This whole SOMA thing is garbage, how can you as so much money for something that is not accredited, why are people so stupid. I really believe that the spirit of jezebal is moving and I know that there are a lot of good people that attend rlc and they dont deserve this.

Going back over this thread I agree with 'HUMBLE YOURSELF' this section that I made bold
You made an extremely accurate observation back on May 09, 2007, especially now being able to observe how this church has fallen away from the word of God, following the whims and teachings of Tony Cunningham. Moreover, to be shopping in a grocery store and bump into someone who was part of the leadership at Radiant Life Church to learn about their marriage and other marriages that have been pipped apart.

Through studying the bible, I have learned that Judging people within the church especially the shepherd, is actually instructed and commanded by Jesus and the Apostles..see 2 Peter 2:1 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves." Look at how Radiant Life Church has fallen apart!
Also read all of Romans, 2 Corinthians 11, 1 John 4, Jude, Matthew 7 (v.16) You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? You see it is necessary to discern Dogs from Swine (v.6)

"For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;" Philippians 1:8-10

My prayer for anyone reading this blog that they would be inspired to dig into their bible and be discerning, that you all would walk away more in love with Jesus than ever before.
Unfortunately, the result of a bad church many people were miss lead and given a false message of salvation. Many people have fallen away from any faith in Jesus and others are still very confused, disillusioned and hurt. Some are so hurt that they have become so bitter towards Jesus and to the word of God, not seeing the evil that was done to them was the sin of an evil man, with evil motives. Some have given up becoming lazy at seeking the truth vs. what is almost true. They have miss directed their anger and bitterness towards God, and not the man who calls himself a prophet, apostle and pastor! I beg you and anyone who is struggling or asking questions go back to your bible and be discerning, Read the book of Romans and John then look at what happened at Radiant Life Church through Tony's teachings. Tony lead many away from faith in Jesus as I remember many people talking more about Tony, than God or Jesus.

RE: I need you to contact the moderator for me, please.

I apologize for interrupting your thread, but my private message feature hasn't been functioning for weeks now. Internet Explorer locks up every time I try to select a recipient for my message. SO, this is my back-door (front door?) attempt to contact Braveheart and ask that you contact the moderator regarding the Turning Point thread.

The person writing as Ostracizedone has just posted about getting a permit for a handgun in a message to his estranged wife, and I don't want his stuff on the board any more. It's out of control. His content to his wife doesn't belong there in the first place, but also his rantings have been creepy for a long time and have pretty much shut down meaningful interaction between people on that thread, many of whom no longer post probably, at least partly, because of "Ostra."

Thanks for any help you can provide in getting in touch with the moderator for me. Feel free to copy and paste this message in any correspondence you are able to send to him or her.

For the Record, this is not my thread, it is simply a thread by & for the People who were once part of Radiant Life church/cult in Elk Grove, CA. This thread also addresses the many theological issues that have come out of the false teachings of one Mr. Tony Cunningham, issues like, Spiritual Parenting (Coercion), Covenant relationships and Tony counseling a spouse to divorce their spouse because he/she opposes Tony's teachings or to divorce a spouse who is questioning Tony's theology or authority.

Many people were brought into Radiant life hopping to some how find salvation, however they were presented with a false message, they received what is known by many theologians as the 'prosperity, word-faith' movement. Looking back at the last 4 years the evidence is so overwhelming, proving Tony to be a complete Charlatan and Conn Artist. His teachings have been proved over and over to be false teachings, his false prophesy's and his false authority, as Tony would simply lord over the congregation by promoting a works-base, works-righteous, performance-driven belief system, that somehow if you give a little bit more, if you serve a lot more, give more, work a little bit more than a guy sitting next to you that somehow you will make God happy. Basically it is first degree coercion and manipulation.
We have seen the same rotten fruit showing up at Turning point church of Marysville, Washington with The sycophant protégé Mike Villamor, unfortunately the list of hurt people keep growing.

A lot of people have been hurt at Turning Point church in Marysville.
All I can do is proclaim the truth found in the bible for example
Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

We need to draw everyone back to the gospel, to recognize that we are all sinners in the sight of God, and I am the biggest sinner of all who read this however I have repented of my sins and I keep placing my faith in Jesus for my salvation! It is not by my works that I am saved but by his mercy and grace, otherwise I would be boasting.

please read this article "Who pays for your spouse’s sin: Christ or your spouse?"
I hope it will bring a clearer understanding.

By "your thread" I meant Radiant Life's thread, as opposed to the one I have been posting on: Turning Point's.

Did you read my request for help contacting the moderator? Could you post a reply to me on the Turning Point thread? I appreciate any help you can give me, as my private message feature is not functioning (and I've erased all of my mail, so it's not that it's full).

Sorry that I failed to give you adequate clarification about my being on the Turning Point thread in the previous note. I thought you would recognize my "handle" from your ongoing interaction with the Turning Point folk. Anyway... I appreciate your help. :)

Thanks.

Learning point yes
I have been following the the rants, I'm surprised that the RR moderator has not jumped in there to intervene. for some reason I thought you had my contact info. The goal is to direct everyone back to the gospel, the book of Romans and the Gospel of John are loaded books, 1&2 Corinthians you can really read how Paul takes all that knows and relates to the Corinthian believers. nine one six 7:30 zero 3:35
Have you ever listened to true and false convert or Hells best kept Secret

Keep defending the faith.
To every man an answer.

Is Radiant Life Dead?

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.....

Looks like God put a stop to the false teachings of Tony Cunningham.

Hopefully he will repent, paying back all that he has stolen.

That would be an answer to prayer!
It would be an amazing event to see a church humbled by the law of God, then in responce to their repenance be restored through the redemptive grace of Jesus.
Yes I have hope for them, like one of the seven churches, we read about in Revelation chapters 2 & 3.
So far Radiant Life did not repent, nor did they ever attempt to reconcile to all the people they Spiritually Abused. That is why I believe God has removed their lamp-stand, and ran the unrepentant, arrogant, false teacher out of town! As Mr. Tony Cunningham is now living in hiding!

Unfortunately there are still a few lost souls still following this wolf and deceiver, they are but just a small hand full of followers.

Guess what, he is back and running a church. He has been spotted in Elk Grove at Star Bucks doing his meetings again. More details to follow.Had any one else seen him. He has not shame...
