The Biggest Differences between Winebrenner's Church of God and Today's CGGC

Winebrenner's focus was on obeying Jesus. The CGGC is obsessed with preserving the church.

Winebrenner focused on Jesus's command to go and make disciples and, when sinners were converted, established churches on the New Testament plan. The CGGC begins with the church, believing, using ERC language, healthy churches make disciples.

Winebrenner was all about Jesus. Today's CGGC is about church first, hoping, somehow, to get to Jesus later.

The Lord of all authority and power and grace and mercy and blessing blessed Winebrenner's love for and his primitive obedience to Jesus. The Lord of all authority and power and grace and mercy and blessing is not blessing the CGGC.

We must turn our eyes upon Jesus and trust Him to take care of the church...

...as He did abundantly in our movement when we followed the forgotten ways.
