There was some speculation as to whether there were any other leaders that claimed to be Christ or to be Christ in the Earth, or whatever. There are some. I imagine it's not allowed on the forum to discuss them in length. I'll only mention that Rev. Moon is referred to as the Messiah, and the father etc, there are a few today that are claiming to be Jesus Christ Himself, returned, Oprah Winfrey even said that Barack Obama is the Messiah, along with Louis Farakahn, he too said that Barrack Obama is the Messiah at first, before he got disillusioned with him. So it's not anything new.
One thing to think about, Rev. Moon was born not long after John Robert Stevens. Just a curiosity.
It seems to me that the when the Jesus movement came along, there were lots of people just waiting for a father figure to follow. Some of theme dispersed into the Children of God, some into the Moonies, some into Hare Krishna, some into the Walk, the whole generation it seems to me were looking for some alternative to traditional Christianity, some politcal and spiritual savior to come on the scene in person to take away their responsibility to think and make decisions for themselves.
