Completing the Romans Road: Discipleship

A great challenge facing our ministry today is not just helping people leave the cult for the truth, it is helping them go on with God, grow in their new faith. It is helping them move from identifying themselves with their past – being an ‘ex-’ to identifying themselves with their Saviour, being a Christian, a ‘follower of the Way.’ A church that fails to disciple lets everyone down, perhaps especially those leaving high control groups looking for leadership and direction, and finding only management and the next programme.

Mormon Revelation and Restorationism

Mormonism is a Restorationist religion. This is hardly controversial or surprising since it grew out of the Restorationist enthusiasm formed during the Second Great Awakening of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Restorationism is one of two very influential movements to come out of the Great Awakening whose influence we still see today, the other being Adventism.
