Dear leadership at RLC Has Radiant Life Church promoted this life concept and teaching in discipleship? That through discipleship there is a “Spiritual Covering” and protection. People have been counseled that as long as they are submitted to their discipler they are under the covering of that man or woman discipler. The discipler is a man or woman of God and is submitted to an elder or

Dear Claypot I have hung in hoping and praying that things would turn around, that the leadership would stop the abuse and reconcile the lives that have been hurt. You said you are “grieved at the potential of division;” ‘YES’ we all echo the same sentiments! The only difference we are the victims who have walked the extra mile, given our shirts coat and shoes, turned the other cheek and frankl

Here is a list of questions that I found to be very interesting. They compare a healthy church to an unhealthy church. Uncovering Churches that Abuse People 1. Does a member’s personality generally become stronger, happier, more confident as a result of contact with the group? In an abusive church, the use of guilt, fear, and intimidation to control members is likely to produce members

Dear Humblefollower Maybe you were not there when the pastor renounced his submission and or affiliation to the God Church of God Association, Anderson, ID. have you checked his current status? or did he take back? How do you account for the broken up marriages in the church? why did two Elders resign and leave the church?

You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.

Here is my charge to the pastor and to the Elders…Remove the sycophants from your inter-circle that insulate you from the flock..and people. Disband the inter-circle and Prophetic Cadre as it has become the (pathetic cadre) a controlling group at the center of the organization manipulating the direction of this church. The church leadership needs to repent and come back to the first love of Jes

I have been doing a lot of research about the teachings that have surfaced here at Radiant Life Church and many point back to the Discipleship Movement and that has lead me to discover other similarities such as the “Apostolic Authority” movement. The spiritual “Covering” as it has been manifested at Radiant Life Church and what I see is all too much “Spiritual Abuse” & “Manipulation of

Moderator You asked a question “Were the elders elected democratically by the general membership of the church? How did they become elders?” Let me answer it this way. First an elder is invited into the inter-circle because he has become trained to become a yes man through discipleship and SOMA. Once the pastor can trust this candidate then he can be nominated and installed as long as

Why do people take scripture and create systems that put things into controllable boxes that explain what God has chosen to, not explain. But there’s the problem. You see they coin terms and create paradigms that force you into an either or that scripture does not force you into. Then they take these coined terms and created paradigms and they demand that you and I take a side. And then they se

Here is my suggestion regarding the teachings at Radiant Life Church and Spiritual Abuse…people being hurt etc...etc. Look at the book “The Moment Of Becoming” it is all right here. Just barrow the book from somebody this is the foundation of the belief structure/system taught at RLC. As for me I renounce all the false teaching at RLC and renounce the teachings that have been deposited

Dear Transparent I like your idea of having people post here with new personal testimonies or experiences that people have had is a good idea BLOG. Again my prayer is that this BLOG would help start the healing process for anyone who has been spiritually hurt or taken advantage of while at Radiant Life Church. The things that I would like to encourage people to share are how they have

I just made a post regarding DNA on the other blog "Has Anyone Ever Heard of Radiant Life Church in Sacramento" So here are some deep thoughts by me QuoteI realized that by trusting in God I learn to allow him to mature me into what is already true about me, that I now have His DNA and not the DNA of some pastor or elder. In the old environment I never learn to trust God because
