CULTS CRITIQUE
by Betty Brueehert
F rom T he B aptist B ulletin , May issue, with the kind permission of the editors, we reprint the follow ing brief analysis of one of the fast growing cults in the country: the man-made W orld of T omorrow of Herbert W. Armstrong of Pasadena, California. The author is Dr. R. T. Ketcham. We list here just a few of Mr. Armstrong’s wild claims and blasphe mous teachings: 1. He holds that nothing of any importance in church realms hap pened on this earth from A.D. 70 to January 1, 1934. 2. He holds that on that date Her bert W. Armstrong came upon the scene and started “The Radio Church of God.” He says that his Radio Church of God is the only true church since A.D. 70. If this be true ther every church, every missionary ad vance, and all else during these eight een and one-half centuries is a false church and a false message! 3. Herbert W. Armstrong demands that his followers keep the old Jewish Passover. 4. Herbert W. Armstrong demands that his followers keep the Jewish Saturday Sabbath. 5. Herbert W. Armstrong is what is known as a “British Israelite.” He holds that Great Britain and the United States are the ten lost tribes of Israel! 6. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that Jesus Christ had to be born again. 7. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that present-day believers are not yet born again. They are “conceived” but they will not be “born” again until they get to heaven. 8. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that men are saved by believing in the future “government” of God. 9. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that we are saved by keeping the law. 10. Herbert W. Armstrong has no place in his teachings for “the Name of Jesus.” 11. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that God planned to wreck His crea tion by sin. 12. Herbert W. Armstrong teaches that we will eventually become God. This ought to chase The Plain Truth magazine out of every Chris tian home. The only thing that is “plain” about it is that it is plainly not the truth.
