An Evangelist with the Church of Christ Ghana incurred the wrath of some angry Christians when he declared all existing churches as void except for his church.
According to Evangelist Peter Koranteng-Addo members of all other churches will not go to heaven apart from those who belong to the Church of Christ because it is the only Church recognized by Jesus Christ.
He said the activities of all other churches can only be likened to social gatherings and not for the purpose of seeking the kingdom of God.
The Man of God who was preaching on Kumasi-based Kapital Radio on Sunday indicated that it was only his church that was established according to the tenets of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith, hence all other churches are not recognized by God.
The Evangelist referred his listeners to Bible verses (Acts 20:28 and Acts 2:37) which he said explained how the Church of Christ was established and the only Church recognized by Christ and his disciples.
“Banabas, Paul and Apostles and other disciples of Jesus Christ were all members of the Church of Christ. So this clearly shows that any Christian who does not belong to the Church of Christ will not go to heaven in the hereafter,” he stressed.
He further challenged people who disagree to his assertions to face him on the matter.
Listeners who called into the programme during the phone-in segment expressed their disagreement and asked the Evangelist to stop making such claims.
One of the callers said, Christ never mentioned a specific church when he urged all believers to worship God.
Most of the callers who expressed their disappointment also disagreed with the Evangelist and vented their anger on him.
“Don’t judge us all and say that if you are not in Church of Christ you will not go to heaven, a caller said”
Evangelist Peter Koranteng-Addo however remained resolute to his claims despite the reaction by the callers.
