  • Many members who come out the ICOC are angry, bitter and confused and lost. They worship the church rather than God. But I can say this' if you are hurt from this church. God is able to redeem you in his love and mercy. I have had many people come out the ICOC hurt and felt lonley. God is BIGGER than them, that is not Christ teaching that is abusive mind controlling scripture turning. Please run from the cult and run to christ. Come to me all who are weary take my yoke for my burden is light.

  • @95Edrick Good point. However, many have also used their experiences to see a snap shot of religion, as a whole. The ICOC represents religion in general. No bitterness here...great lesson learned, and never again.

  • This is not the true church God forgive them there are some very nice people but very ignorant when it comes to really knowing the true christian faith... not talking bout salvation i believe that between the individual and God im talking about the true historical information about the early church.. these people are control freaks! they induce guilt to make u subject to their belief twist scripture to fit them..im sure there are good meaning people but very heretical..

  • Kip got booted. He doesn't go to ICOC anymore. We still reach out to the lost though and if you you want to live by Gods word and help others do the same? This is an Awesome Church that puts Christ at the head. The rest of us just equal bros and sisters trying to get to heaven and help each other do the same!

  • International Chuch of Kip McKean

  • Que bom saber sobre uma conferencia sobre missões. Espero que consigamos reaver o coração missionário.

  • I was involved in this but the international christian church! All I have to say is I am a devoted christian!! But not to this church but to christ jesus!! This church is a cult!!!

  • if you build you salvation on works 8 -10 studies to get baptized, [a work in progress] then obviously you won't get the concept of grace, grace = free gift, if i must study or "show myself to be something more than a sinner" to deserve your salvation then christ did not die for you you did

  • @juane1l AMEN

  • Cult yes, Church no, Christ teaches Grace, and they can't understand grace, i've heard it said far to often at services "u'm i can't fathom grace" because your church does not teach it, its by works not by grace for this cult, you work your way to salvation is the ICOC way

  • I have not been able to attend the ICOC for 7 yrs now cause I have not been where there is a church. I have been a member for 13yrs before the 7. I am grateful that I got to be a part of the church in Naples, Florida, and TN. If it were a cult, being away for 7yrs don't you think I would have come out of it considering I have had hardly any contact with the church. I pray to my GOD they plant one in Pensacola cause I would be the first to walk in their doors. There is good and bad in everything.

  • @awannabe1 I'm surprised they haven't kicked you out for not moving to a place where they have one. I'm sorry you want to be near one, if these people ever knock on my door again, I will tell them what I wrote to Kip McKean. Without a doubt the worst era of my life.

  • @awannabe1 Ha, a member for 13 years and you still dont see it??? thats pretty sad for you. This church ruined my marriage back in 1997. When they realized I could see right through them, they turned my wife against me. Turns out it was a good thing to get rid of her. But nonetheless, they ruin lives, and will take every penny they can from you. Tried to get me to give them 10% of my earnings for the year in one lump sum! ha ha ha! Baaaa like the rest of the sheep!

  • @awannabe1 Please understand that this church denies Christs death on the cross by claiming it is possible to lose your salvation, through "sin" or a lack of works.Think about this, if it is works or sin that send you to hell after you are saved it must then be then works or turning away from sin that saved you. What! Christ saves alone with his work complete on the cross, think real hard and see that all these people labeling your Cult a Cult only speak what is very plain tothem.

  • @narlacat Forget what church says this. Read Hebrews10:26-31, James 2:14-26, Romins 6:15, 1 peter 4:3-5, Galations 5:19. Its the bible that teaches this. Read it. Yes Christ died for all which gives us salvation, but that is not a licence to sin. If you understand the cross you will be broken by it which will motivate you to do whats right. Not with your own power but his. There are so many other scriptures that i could help you with. If I misunderstood your comment let me know.

  • @VLombardi01 I agree with you! We are motivated and love the lost. Just so we are clear it is though the love of Christ that compells me as a son of God. These verses DONT teach loss of salvation!!!! Forget what this church teaches maybe you need to.

  • @narlacat 1 peter 2:20-21 makes it clear. For example: nobodys perfect.if your trying to deal with your sinful nature you will be forgiven. But if you don't care anymore and dont deal with sin you can loose it. Thats why you stay connected with God because Satin wants you out. The great news is that God always forgives. You could always come back. Your salvation is sure but you can run away from it. Its our choice.

  • houve erros e estâo sendo corrigidos

  • This cult damaged me psychologically more than I can say. They do not deserve to put the word "church" in their name. C-U-L-T. Look it up. This is not persecution; this is not an attack on "God's Kingdom on Earth;" this is the truth. Abuse of power; leaders beyond reproach (although they claim humility); unchecked abusive methods. They break you down, and make you doubt yourself or that you amount to anything without this abomination of an organization. Not a church. Cult.

  • @IsIARockstar

    I'm also a fairly destroyed ex-member of this utterly vile organization. It's been over 18 years and I'm still in pain over what they did to me, and what they encouraged me to say and do to others... which I had to do... you know, that old obedience thing.

    This is a cult. They use their very deceptive powers of persuasion and then they destroy lives. I wish there would have been internet in 1992, it might have saved me a lot of hell.

  • @cousinbelladonna Man!! that is too bad. Do you go to any church at the moment?

  • @narlacat No, I haven't gone to church on my own since these ICC aholes booted me out. Although I've been in attendance with friends/family when they have gone... Not terribly interested either, maybe anything I had regarding faith (in people or other) were finally nuked when I hooked up with these guys.

    What I found to be so (sarcastically) funny about these jokers was that they would talk a lot of trash about how horrible it is out there in 'the world' and yet they were the worst thing ever

  • @narlacat Not, not really since then. I've gone with friends/family but not on my own. Not really sure that I want back into that lifestyle. (and, no, my family pretty much don't like it :+(

  • @IsIARockstar You , as well as thousands others. Man! Jesus is still there. ICOC did not demonstrate who Chist is. Please dont lose heart. After all Chirst died so you would not need to. Have faith and trust in that and ask him to save you. Let the ICOC go and be free. ICOC is one of many cults, dont let them controll you well after you have left. I feel for you.

  • Yes, halideion, this is a cult.  Google the ICOC or Kip McKean for yourself. Everyone should know what they are getting into before being suched into this group.

  • ICOC IS A CULT!!!!!!!! SPIRITUAL ABUSE!!!!!!!!

  • Remember we are all sinners and God just wants to help us all, not for us to point the finger and treat each other like enemies

    John 3:1-7

  • 1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

  • 3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]" 4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"

  • 5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.' 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

    Focus on getting into heaven and loving others

  • I very much agree with vrdisciple, my name is Claude, I attended the ILC incredible and I'm a part of the Southern Florida Church of Christ.

    I think many people point the finger rather than deal with their own sins, no one is perfect, see you need to realize that we are all in the same boat "sinners" and Jesus want as many of us to be saved. Let's not point the finger at others and not take responsibility for our own lives & sins because those words are a wasted you still have to get to heaven

  • The ICOC is for the most part a den of thieves... with a few good hearts thrown in, but the good ones not in position of power or influence. (it's too theatening to ,leadership) I was a member for 17 years and have been out for 6 years. I know more people now outside the church with true integrity than I ever knew inside the church.

  • Truly what really matters is where we are as individuals. Are living by God's word? Are we loving one another as Jesus commanded us to do so? Are we committed to making disciples of all nations? Yes. I agree. You will know them by their fruit. God cannot be mocked. It is not the ICOC per se. It truly an exposure of people's hearts. The leaders are not the ones that are going to get me to heaven. It is my personal, steadfast relationship with God, my love for all saints.

  • @vrdisciple I said the same thing for years untill I was saved, I trusted Christ alone to take me to heaven. Your chruch is evil and teaches you can lose a free gift. A gift that was given freely. Saved people you mix with are saved through Christ NEVER the teachings or understanding of scripture of ICOC.

  • @vrdisciple Thanks for posting that. You summed it all up. :)

  • "People will know that you are my disciples by your love for one another" Leaders will rationalize their lack of love, down right rudeness, arrogance, pride, brashness, harshness etc. by calling it "Discipling". It really is spiritual abuse.

  • It is truly disgusting how this movement who has the same issues that every church has such as members who are not married sleeping with each other, divorces, gay relationships, members cheating on their wives, members who have visited adult bookstores, members who have sought the services of prostitutes, etc will turn right and tell you that they are different from other churches because they are the "True Chruch". Nor will they tell you that some church leaders have had affairs.

  • @TonyFresh001 what you say is true, their doctrine is very deceitful and full of double they call people to be disciples of Jesus, but how it really works is they call you to be Jesus and no one but Christ can bear that burden, you don't live a perfect life you just become more or a hypocrite and deceitful than when you first joined, I think that there are many examples of similiar churches, that don't understand the Grace of God.

  • The problem with the ICOC is that their standard operating procedure, while not written down, is one that uses a persons sins against them to shame them into doing what the leaders want them to do. This has not changed even with kip mckean gone from the movement. There are very insensitive, rude, arrogant, and down right hypocritical leaders with in the movement who truly should not be leading anyone and who look down upon others outside of the church and outside of leadership.

  • It is quite unfortunate and deeply saddening that those who have no part with the ICOC nor any of their fellowships offer blank statements based off of comments taken out of context in a single video.

    The arrogance and pride that led to the ICOC's self-evaluation had indeed led o needed change and humility. To offer blanket statements and judgmental comments as one who has either "cut and run" or has not been a part of this fellowship and seen the changes through to this point is only evidence

  • @ivybrog wow, that was christ-like.

  • @ivybrog Humility?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheSwimchick May God help you with your own need.

  • It was a pheonominal time of Worship. I wish many many more could have been there.

  • this is total bullsh*t !!! i thought these folks did away with the "we're the only ones going to heaven" thinking. but "we have fewer than 100k disciples in our fellowship of churches" to save the 7 billion folks in the world ... smells of elitism. i don't think the leaders of the old icoc have learned much post-krete letter. no thank you!

  • I know plenty of verses that say that those who trust in Jesus will be saved, but that doesn't necessarily mean that those who do not know about or believe in Jesus are damned. It just makes fundamentalists look stupid and superstitious.

  • The Icoc is a cult.

  • Wow I hope I and others give them another chance...they really messed up! It is so precious what they had,( the faith and trust of the people) It's hard no matter what they say to get it back, but is that fair?...How long does someone have to pay who wronged you, a year, years, forever...I wish I could go back and things would be like it was, it was so beautiful. But now people are as empty as this page...

  • @meshellndego You still have Jesus.
