2. Nepali churches need not only education, but also spiritual discernment that comes from the Spirit of Christ.

Over time, only the fruit will tell whether her roots are grounded in Jesus Christ the Truth. May the Lord bring Nepali church to his truth. Amen.

False Teaching-proof Church Word from the President

Tracing the roots of these problems go back to the context in which churches have been planted and raised. Here are some of the general reasons: There’s a general lack of value for theological education in both leaders and believers. There’s also a general lack of critical thinking and learning Poverty’sculture.complex and comprehensive reach across society and people’s worldviews. In the spiritually fertile soil of Nepal, not only Christianity has grown, but also every pit you throw has potentiality to grow. Thus the false teachings have grown far and wide with their false hopes. Nepal is trying to catch up with the modern and globalized world, now with the secular constitution that suffers from contradictions with human rights against minorities. Christianity is moving fast across the country bearing fruits of hope. Churches preach good news and attract people living in the “bad news”. They come with all kinds of issues of life, physical, spiritual, emotional and otherwise unspoken expectations and motivations. Many of which remain unmet and unresolved. She has attracted sick people with hopes of getting healed, poor with hopes of getting rich, people in bondages with hopes of being free, marginalized with hopes of justice and equal rights, young people with hopes of opportunities and “losers” with the hopes of getting ahead some day. She has attracted them but not delivered what she promised. And we are experiencing the outcomes of those brokenness in the growth and spread of the false Furthermore,teachings.Nepal is a sub-literate society. Education is sparse, and what we do have is inadequate, so goes the saying, “little knowledge is dangerous”. This is more so when it comes to theological education. Most false teachings and cults have taken root and grown up out of the church, the body of Christ. The way false teaching is revealed is by its contradiction to the life, teaching and mission of Christ. Apostle John is bold speaking about false teachers, he says, “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ… denying the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22). According to the Bible denial of Jesus Christ and the Triune God is the starting point of false teaching. The fundamental need of the Nepali church of our time, I believe are:

1. Historically, churches have lived through every form of heresy and falsehood. We need not be surprised, yet Nepali churches will do well to take lessons from history and correct her own course and teachings.

Rev. Arbin Pokharel

It is our desire through the Restorers magazine of RPS, to address theological challenges facing Nepali Churches. This issue deals with one of the most pertinent matter of false teachings infiltrating the churches. The false teachings have grown fast and wide in Nepal due largely to, I believe, the lack of theological maturity in leaders who teach the Bible, preach the gospel and lead the church. At the same time the believers lacking aptitude to search Scripture and find truth like the Bereans (Acts 17:11). Spread of the false teaching is the cost of un-discipleship, and this generation is reaping its harvest.

3. Finally, Nepali church need commitment to discipleship to Jesus Christ as the mission of the church, not any other project.

Christian Cults in Nepal

Introduction The history of Christianity in Nepal is just sixty plus years but Nepal is also known as one of the fastest growing churches in the world (Rajendra Rongong’s Early Churches in Nepal…, 59). Likewise, in Nepal, the Christian cults and their teaching are also growing rapidly and became one of the biggest problems among the Nepali local churches in this twenty-first century. Probably, the reasons behind the spreading and flourishing of the cults would be the lack of knowledge regarding the early Church Creedal Statements and the Reformed Doctrinal Standards. Thus, the purpose of this article is to urge and approach the Nepali local church pastors, elders, and leaders to understand the importance of the Church Creedal Statements and the Reformed Doctrinal Standards to adopt in order to fight against the cults and their teachings. Firstly, this article will help Nepali local churches to understand the biblical perspective of Jesus’ and apostolic teaching against the false prophets and Christs which is presently known as cults or false teachers; secondly the article will help to recognize the seven marks of cults or false teachers and their teachings; thirdly, the article has given the biblically based tools to guard the local congregation against the cults or false teachers and their teaching. Finally, the article will conclude with the brief summaries with suggestions to the Nepali local pastors, elders and leaders. Due to the lack of authentic resources this article will be using limited resources because there are only few pieces of research and studies had done in this particular field in Nepal.

Since from the early Christianity, the cults or false teachers were active in the local churches with their false claims to deceive the believer (elect) from their genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus has warned in advance to his follower regarding upcoming false prophets and false Christs and their claims in Matthew and Mark, Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? …So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me ‘Lord Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS (Matt. 7:1523 ManyNASB).will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many…And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him; for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order, if possible, to lead the elect astray. “But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance (Mark 13: 6, 21-23 NASB). According to Matthew and Mark, which are mentioned above, Jesus has given the strong - Menuka Mishra

Biblical Perspectives Against the cults

7. The Unification Church is the followers of Sun Myung Moon’s (Moonies) interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

The Apostle Paul claimed that false apostles are disguising themselves as apostles of Christ and as servants of righteousness through boasting in their own deceitful speeches and earning their living by burdening the believers financially. Most of the false apostles (wondering philosophers) were boasting in their self-exalted speeches and interpretations rather than in the true knowledge of Christ and His mission from the apostolic teachings. They tried to exalt themselves rather than Christ. Therefore, the apostle Paul said that their end would be according to their Similarly,deeds.

1.present:Jehovah’s

Witnesses are the followers of Charles T. Russell and J. F. Rutherford’s interpretations and teaching of the Bible.

Likewise, the apostles were also aware of such false apostles and warned the believers in Christ. Specifically, the apostle Paul warned the Corinthian’s Forbelievers:such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their deeds (II Cor. 11:13-15 NASB).

the Christian cult/s and false teacher/s and their teachings are still active in the twenty-first century local churches nationally and internationally. Unfortunately, Nepali churches are also encountering with such cults or false teachers and their false claims. Next, section will help to understand the connotation of the word cult/s or false teacher/s, to identify the active cult/s or false teacher/s in Nepal and their common marks to recognize them and their activities within our local congregation. How to Recognize the Cults For the Christians, a cult/cults or a false teacher/ teachers can be defined as a person or groups who do not believe or recognize the nature of Jesus Christ as a divine and human, and most of them deny the doctrine of Trinity. According to Charles S. Barden “a cult is a religious group which differs significantly in one or more respects as to belief or practice, from those religious group which are regarded as the normative expression of religion in our total culture” (Braden 1949, xii) and Walter R. Martin has added one more characteristic “a cult might be also defined as a group of people gathered about a specific person or person’s misinterpretation of the Bible” (Martin 1985, 11). Specifically, they follow the revelation or interpretation of the scripture of their founder spiritual leaders of that particular cults or sects. For instance, in Nepal following cults are very active at

4. Hyper Grace and Papa Preacher (ugra anughrawad –papa pracharak) are a follower of Mr. Samuel Tamang’s interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

5. Manmin Central Church is the followers of Pastor Jaerock Lee’s interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

3. Sachchai Kendra is the followers of Mr. Praksah Gaire’s and Mrs. Susilla Gaire’s interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

2. Ahn Sahng-hong or Church of God (group) is the followers of Ahn Sang-hong’s interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

21 instructions and warnings to his followers concerning the upcoming false prophets and false Christs (also known as cult/s and false teacher/s). Their characters are shown clearly by Jesus Christ. They are as follows: Cults or false teachers love to become a prophet, exorcist, and miracle workers in order to fulfill their own selfish desires and precisely to deceive elect from their faith in Jesus Christ. They tried to keep themselves in the same position as Christ. Actually, they come externally in the sheep’s clothing but they are internally wild wolves. Jesus considered them as false prophets and false Christs (i.e. cult/s or false teacher/s) who practice lawlessness. Jesus’ followers through their fruits will recognize them gradually.

6. Mormons are the followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young’s interpretations and teachings of the Bible.

According to Pat Robertson, “practically every cult

Guard Your Congregation from Cults

According to Beeke, the Church Creedal Statement was written for three practical purposes: to confess the truth together in the worship service, to instruct the truth to the baptized believers from the Scripture, and to defend the truth from the heresy (cult/s or false teacher/s) and their misinterpretation of the Scripture because “God’s Word is infallible, but man’s interpretations of Scripture are not” (Beeke 2013, 243-244). Similarly, there are the biblical, church, and personal reasons to confess one of these creeds in our local church’s worship services each week together with our congregations. He has clearly explained the three reasons as follows: Biblical reasons - to continually remind the believers

22 has certain characteristics that can tell the careful observer that something is wrong.” Therefore, it is easy to recognize the cults or false teachers in your congregation by asking them a simple question: How do they define Jesus Christ? Precisely, the question about the nature of Jesus Christ and salvation.

Tal Davis and Robertson have given seven important marks of the cults or false teachers in order to recognize them in our congregation: Firstly, the cults or false teachers and their groups “claim to be biblically- based, Christian organization” and their church centered on Christ and His teaching (Davis 2016, 1). Secondly, they deny or redefine the most important core doctrines of Christians, such as the doctrine of the nature of Jesus Christ, Trinity, and Salvation. Thirdly, they “claim to be led by divinely inspired leaders” and often their followers believe that their leaders are capable of receiving direct revelation from God or have a special understanding from the Bible and they usually misinterpret it (Davis 2016, 2). They will put their leaders in the same position as Christ. Such as they will put something else on an equal footing with Christ. It will have a ritual that is equal to Christ, or it will have a leader who is equal to Christ. In another word, even if it acknowledges Christ as Savior, it will say that you need something else before you get into heaven. Cults teach that salvation comes through Christ, plus their little unique way. Some cults do not acknowledge Christ at all. They may make Him equal with their religious teachers or with certain great men of history. The quickest way to recognize a cult is by its treatment of Jesus (Robertson 2019, 1).

This above seven marks of the cults or false teachers gives pastors, elders and leaders of the local churches of Nepal to go back to the early Church Creedal Statement (church symbols) the “official, clear statements and explanations of biblical belief” produced by early church fathers and the church Ecumenical Councils to guard their congregation from such cults or false teachers timelessly (Beeke 2013, 243). Specifically, the Apostles’ Creed - it was written against the error of Gnosticism which denied God as the almighty Father and Christ as His only Son; the Nicene Creed – against error of Arius teachings who denied Jesus’ divine nature because he was promoting the view that God consisted of only one Person; and the Athanasius Creed – gives clear teaching regarding the Trinity in order to fight against the cult/s or false teacher/s and their false claims (misinterpretation of the scripture). And the Reformed Doctrinal Standard, which are the official statements and explanations of various scriptural doctrines written in the form of a confession (i.e. Belgic and Westminster Confession of Faith), catechism (i.e. Heidelberg Catechism and Westminster Catechism –questions and answers format), and canons (i.e. Canons of Dordt).

Fourthly, they claim their church is “the only true church in the world” and salvation is only attended by being the active member of that particular church (Davis 2016, 2). They “frequently attempt to instill fear into their followers. The followers are taught constantly that salvation comes only through the cult.” They warned their followers by saying, “If you leave us, you will lose your salvation” (Robertson 2019, 1). Fifthly, they exalt themselves more than Jesus Christ and they manipulate their followers even to die for them or with them. “Cults often center around a man or woman who is trying to gain power, money, or influence from manipulating people.” Sixthly, cults or false teachers are brainwashers. They make their followers just like robot to follow them blindly because they “perpetuate spiritual dependence so that their followers lose the ability to make independent, rational decisions” (Robertson, 2019). And finally, they “claim to posses a new and inspired written scripture that supplements or supersedes the authority of the Bible” (Davis 2016, 2).

23 of the Christian dogmas, the core biblical doctrines; Church reason - to maintain unity of confession of faith with the Christian church of all ages; and personal reasons - to repeatedly focus upon that which is necessary to personally and experientially believe in order to be saved” (Beeke 2013, 252).

Therefore, it is a high time for a pastors, elders, and leaders of Nepal’s local churches to guard their believers by teaching them the core doctrine of the Bible through the help of early Church Creedal Statements which was, is, will be confessed by all the Christian churches and the Reformed Doctrinal Standard which was, is, will be confessed by various church denominations. Now, some of the Church Creedal Statements and the Reformed Doctrinal Standard are available in the Nepali language. Therefore, these two biblical resources would be useful tools to guard and to fight against the cults or false teachers and their teachings.

Conclusion This article has provided firstly, the biblical perspective of false prophets and false Christs (presently called as cult/s or false teacher/s) according to Jesus and apostolic teachings from the gospel of Matthew and Mark. Jesus and apostle Paul showed the true character of them because they love to become a prophet, an apostle, an exorcist, and a miracle worker in order to deceive the followers of Jesus Christ from their faith. Thus, Jesus and apostle Paul warned the believers in advance not to follow and deceive by them. Secondly, this article provided the seven marks to recognize as a Christian cult/s or false teacher/s in your local congregation according to Davis and Robertson. Thirdly, this article has approached to go back to early Church Creedal Statement (church symbols) and Reformed Doctrinal Standard which was written with three purposes and reasons in-order to guard the local congregations and to fight against false claims and teaching of cult/s or false teacher/s regarding the core doctrines of the Christians from the Bible.

Therefore, the role of pastors, elders and leaders of Nepali local congregations are to focus now on these above three purposes and reasons to give preference to recite and teach the creedal statements (church symbols) in your congregation to fight against and guard your local church from the hands of cult/s or false teacher/s and their interpretation of the Scripture against the core doctrines of the Christians.

However, the reasons behind the flourishing of the cult/s and false teacher/s in our local congregation in Nepal might be the lack of qualified pastors and leaders who has the understanding of the early Church Creedal Statements and the Reformed Doctrinal Standard. Therefore, this article would like to approach all the Nepali pastors, elders, and leaders to train and develop your education in this particular areas to protect your local churches from the false claims and teachings of cults and false teachers.
