Cults' Obsession with Names and Titles
(Church Names - Which is it?)

Intro:
Acts 2:1–21
preaching in all languages (Acts 2:9–10)

Proper name vs. common name

cults bible references:
- church of christ - no exact
--- churches - multiple
- church of God - yes but
---- why local - at corinth

2Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

1Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

why local rule only -
1Timothy 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

this is in direct contrast to cults which have centralized government

------- some examples
"kingdom of Jesus Christ" - Quiboloy - convicted pervert
Jesus Miracle crusade
Catholic - universal
orthodox - original

------------ sign of false churches - false christ
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Mark 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and shall deceive many.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

"sacred name"

Ephesians 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
