I was part of this church for 6 yrs I left officially a yr ago, I waited a Year until I knew the Word enough to hold this church Accountable to their theology. Warning of church structure as a whole (UNHEALTHY). CONTROLLED BY LEGALISM & HERESY. Teachings of(Doctrinal ERROR), and Numerology of 3, 7,12. The Rock Adapted Cesar Castellano Theology & Doctrine which is A CULTIC DISCIPLESHIP strategy, its supposed to make every believer a leader (modeled after the 12 Apostles ). Saints Beware, They RECRUIT by preying on the emotional damaged, then Disciple Groom Them. At the rock, You're to have life with your Cell group in order to recieve a Spiritual Cover'n". Make "COVENANT" w/ them, complete faithfulness to church vision & idol leadership. Like The Heavy Shepard Movement: You're assigned a Leader, that Leader becomes your spiritual guide, and you're "accountable to them". CULT like submission to Authority. You're expected to "Recruit" daily, give REPORTS of your work (EVANGELISM). How many souls you "Saved", Internationally, Locally, and how many Lighthouses you open. Everything in this church is BY WORKS! The pastors would use bible verses to pressure u. You're not free to teach any outside Christian books for cell group. Only books by Cesar Castellano to produce more ways on how to effectively Recruit Ppl to the vision of (Governing of 12) "The Key To Multiplication 144, "Successful Leadership" to name few. They have the 12 step lighthouse lessons already paved out for u to be groomed in. For the month of October there "Harvest Month". The Rock church works endlessy on the streets, hotels, Walmart, For the Convert unbelievers to repeat "Prayer of Salvation" thru that confession, the Convert is saved/guarantee eternity before God's eyes, (Biblically Unsound) W/out the convert having to live a repented/transformed life. They abuse the verse Matthew 28:16, Pastor's would say "Your Salvation depends on u saving others, so weekly they work endlessly to share the G12 Gospel. They don't preach on Repent, Faith, and living a life in Purity, Yeilding to The Holy Spirit. They focus on "Claim it and grab it", Prosperity Preaching, You have the keys to hell" "Power&Authority" Miracles, Signs,& Wonders", Evangelize & SERVE to get ur 12, if you want ur family saved, a job,or God to hear u. Jesus will know u by ur fruit/ to them amount of ppl you're recruiting into your cell group. Not producing spiritual fruit. They are about "Professing Christ" but no standard to live by God's word. Where "Ministry" is about going door To door, like Jehovah witnesses and handing out flyers to invite them to rock church, & count as many ppl so you can follow up. Continuing the Same vision of G12, same preaching of Miracles,Signs,Wonder, Covenant, Anointed Service, Claim it Grab it Blessings, Rahab, every yr, same repetitive outline in 17 yrs of this church. This Ministry keeps the ppl in BONDAGE. If you have to ask for your Pastors Permission on what car to buy, what job to choose, where to live, what color to dye your hair, that's Control. The liberty and freedom of Christ Jesus is not in a church like that. Healthy Pastoralship has a role as of like a coach, encourage & counsel you but ultimately will encourage you to seek leading of the Holy Spirit, it's the spirits job to convict, not condemn and Lead you in your life, to what/ where GOD is asking of you. Yield to Him, not mere men. GOD WONT LET YOU GROW, YOU FORGOT YOUR FIRST LOVE (JESUS)! #REPENT1st.. Using parts of the bible to justify some things of Christ. Its mainly more about your own interpretation of the word. Never in true context of scripture, Way Off! Be Encouraged and contend for the Faith congregants, Mature in your walk/ read God's word for yourself, and hold your pastors accountable to the word of God like in Acts 17:11!? We're asked to test (Judge) the spirit for a reason (1 John 4:1). The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:12-15)
