I Infiltrated Shincheonji - New Heaven New Earth Church

Shincheonji Church Of Jesus (SCJ) or the New Heaven New Earth church (NHNE) is a South Korean fringe church that is infiltrating churches across the United States in an attempt to gain new members. In this video I interview a special guest who gave the SCJ a taste of their own medicine by infiltrating them.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is a very aggressive, high demand, secretive, Korean apocalyptic cult that has a long history of heresy, along with practicing deception, manipulation, and outright lying when it comes to their recruitment, historical claims, etc. Sometimes also going by the name “New Heaven, New Earth”, this movement was started by and is led by the “New John” or “Promised Pastor”, their elderly Korean leader Lee Manhee who is the only one who has “mastered the Bible” according to the teachings of this church. In order to deceive and draw people in, they use different Christian sounding names so that they can “creep in unnoticed” (Jude 4).

Churches, pastors, parents, and Christians need to be on high alert about this little-known group (as well as other deceptive groups) that acts very friendly and is specifically targeting Christians to bring them into their cult through their Bible studies (mainly offering to teach about the Book of Revelation) both in online and in-person several month studies (Matt. 7:15).

There should be a recovery sector about people who got out and still want to study and be with God 😢

I just discovered the Bible study I’m a part of is scj. I’m shocked & couldn’t believe I wasted 4 months of my life while being sick with their indoctrination. My spirit felt grief studying with them because I couldn’t come in agreement with their teaching. I feel betrayed by my friend who introduced me & encouraged me to do this. I questioned their teaching continually, where’s the grace, the trinity, the Holy Spirit??? Jesus was reduced to a righteous “pastor”! He is the Savior! He is God!!! I’m happy I’m out! My husband took my concerns seriously as we both attended the study. He told them off as I warmed my friend that she’s in a cult like I suspected from the beginning & I quietly left. I felt bad for the others still there but I’m not going back. They’re literally behaving like the Babylon with their whack mix teaching!!! Being a Korean American who speaks the language, I looked up the “new John’s” teachings & he is a total fraud. I also listened to Mr shin the former high leader with scj &y so much. I’m thanking God & so joyful I’m out of this cult! But my heart hurt at the same time for getting suckered & my fellow classmates who are still in it. I think I might do a video of my experience & post on my channel. Thank you & the many exposing this cult.

bro im here cuz i joined online classes for 2 weeks. So so many red flags. Just found out the name of their church today, and here i am researching it. Just messaged them saying 'bye bye' basically...

I am currently studying the Bible with a group of students and the first person that introduced me, I met him on a dating website, then he linked me up with a lady that started teaching me about the Bible for 3 months before telling me about a Bible course that spans for 6-8months. I’m currently one month in and I have so many questions but the Bible is being taught plainly. I googled at the initial start but I was told by my review teacher not to. In my case, I have been introduced to others that have done the course and we have friendly chats sometimes to create a welcoming community, but from the teachings they kept talking about the wise and faithful servant (true pastor) whom the master (Jesus) gave the food (scripture) for the other servants in the household. I shared some of the teachings with my friend and I was told not to. I have been questioning so many things and have been researching and thank God I saw this video. It sounds somewhat like the Bible study I attend; three days a week (tue, fri & sun), studying the parables, can’t tell people about it, can’t miss a class, can’t use phones or take pictures of the class, it all makes sense now. May God deliver us all and reveal himself to us.

Thank you for this post. I joined Equiped Bible Study back in March this year (that is what they are currently calling their bible classes here in South Africa) through a friend. I was excited about it because I really wanted to dive deep into the word and I wasn't even going out looking for a bible study until this friend introduced me to this Equiped classes. At first it was okay, but a few classes in from the reaction or interaction with the "Facilitators" I got this vibe or feeling that they expect you to be a "blank canvas" not knowing anything about the bible. They expect you to be WOWED about their teaching or explaination of the Parables or the bible. I started having questions and doubts when they started mentioning the FWS (Faithful Wise Servant) and later introduced who this FWS and Promised Pastor is- stating that this Lee Man-hee is the "New John". Really! That is when I exited last week after 5 months. This experience has encouranged me to read and study the word of GOD more and more to avoid falling into such a trap. I thank GOD for taking me away from those LIES! They have taken nothing from me, except for my time 🙄

This guy’s a savage. Thank you for taking one for the team and speaking out

[joannab.]

9:00 thank you for saying that it’s hard to open the Bible again. I haven’t opened my Bible since I left the class. I just can’t get the doctrine out of my head and I’m so confused. I’ve felt very guilty about this actually.

I dropped the class after 6 months when I received the “oil” that the Bible study I was attending was actually SCJ. I finally searched it up a couple of weeks after (even though they told us there was only persecution and lies on the internet) because I was so weary already. Ultimately I’m glad that I’m closer to God on a personal level now, but doctrine-wise, denomination-wise and in many other ways I am still so confused and betrayed.

I’m questioning my friendships from the class too since some friends haven’t spoken to me since I left. And now I’m wondering if they were planted in the class to keep tabs on me. I always thought it was amazing that whenever I had doubts about a specific subject, it would be brought up and explained in the next class! Now I’m worried it may have been my “friends” who I confided in and discussed on the way home after every class. And I can’t shake the fear that the friend who I’m still in touch with might also just be there to bring me back in. All of the trust is gone.

And I feel so bad for looking down on my other non-SCJ Christian friends. I didn’t want too, but it’s what taught us.

I’m a 20 yr old female in Melbourne. I was looking for purpose, I just got out of a 2 year relationship. I would consider myself academically intelligent but this doesn’t mean anything. I have a whole new understanding of the fact that anyone could accidentally join a cult. I’m glad I never truly got to that point. Pray for SCJ members

[alices.]

Recently they started being active in my country as well😢 Praying for people who got in, may God show them what really means following Him

[palmwine]

He's not lying because they made me feel guilty about going back to my church.

[mildredpierce]

I like how Pastor House handled SCJ. He just straight out told them that they were lying. That’s the way you’re supposed to treat the devil. Call him out.

[dudebro]

This organization approached me at target right after my grandma died and was going through stuff. I ended up joining this 9 month bible study and i started to see red flags and finally had enough n left. Once i started feeling far from Christ i bounced out. Im so angry with them for lying to me even when i confroted the "friend" who brought me. I would privately voice my concerns to this friend and next thing u know the lead instructor would bring my questions up in the next class. I was like no way thats a coincidence they are talking behind my back and lying about it.

[davidreyes]

I left the group yesterday, I asked them about many things and doubts that I had, and they were trying to avoid the main topic.
My questions were, Is Lee Man Hee the Messiah?, Do you believe God Trinity? Why do you say we don't need to speak this one for others?, I opened my eyes and get it, they were brainwashing my life and also distort the Holy Word(Bible).

I felt disappointed and upset for falling in that cult, now today I'm trying to come back at church😢

[questionsaboutscj]

Wow what a blessing! We even got to see the Promised Pastor! <3 <3

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs."
Mt 10:27
That alone is enough to know that SCJ is *not* from God

I am from the U.S. but have lived in S.Korea for 10 years. I have been raised in Chrisianity, as my father was a pastor. I was talked into going to church, as they had an English translator as the preacher preached. I went to the Sunday morning services, and nothing raised any red flags, they sang the popular praise and worship songs that are sung in most U.S. churches. Eventually, I was asked if I wanted to join a Sunday afternoon class, after the church service. I said okay, and attended the Sunday class. After a few months, I was asked if I wanted to join a midweek bible study. The midweek bible study was at various locations outside of the church. The first bible study, I was taken away from the others, to be interviewed. I was asked about my understanding of the bible, and as I have been involeved in church, and believe I have a very good grasp and know the bible well, I answered, everything they asked. Then, the couple who was interviewing me, refuted my answers, and told me that I did not have the true understanding of the revealed word. That raised red flags, but, I figured I would continue on, just to see what their teaching was.
As I started the series of Bible studies, we started at the beginning of the New Testament....and over the months, worked our way to Revelations. As we studied, we were required to take copious notes on the teaching lectures. Periodically, we had to take exams of the material covered. If we did not pass, we had a chance to do a make up exam (test). If still not earning a passing score, you were taken out of that class, and put back into a later starting class to repeat the teachings. After several months, they introduced Lee Man-hee. That was when they started to tell how Lee Man-hee was now the spirit of Christ. They teach that when you become consecrated...the spirit of one of the Biblical people's spirit will dwell within you. As they say the spirit of Jesus only dwells within Lee. I have notebooks full of notes that I took. As I said, the group I studied with, started at the beginning of the New Testament, and continued through each book. They said nothing is literal in the Bible, all is figurative, and prophecy. Here in Korea, their churches are not hidden, most know them. During the pandemic, they were know to be the biggest spreaders of Covid. Their main church is in Daegu, S.Korea.

I heard that pastors are told to close their churches and submit their entire network to them. Wolves in sheep clothing!! I pray for all true disciples - that the Holy Spirit will lead them into all truth!

[mildredpierce]

I was in this cult for about 14 months. I just got out of it on December 22. Actually right now Thursday I am supposed to be in Bible study but I fled last week so no Bible study for me today.

I grew up in church and what SCJ were saying didn’t sit right with me.

I know a lot of churches do not believe in speaking in tongues but my church does. So when this cult started speaking against it, I was not OK with that. There are several scriptures that are pro speaking in tongues but of course SCJ didn’t use those scriptures. Maybe they would have later but I didn’t stick around to find out.

I had to get away from the various nonsense including some little old man from South Korea is the chosen pastor. They also claimed that Jesus isn’t God when Jesus himself said I and my father are one. John 10:30.

In the past people used to use the word brainwash. Today we use the term grooming. This cult groom you into conformity. They occasionally would mention that the disciples didn’t have chairs to sit on or they were not an air-conditioned buildings. They sat on the ground. I wasn’t looking for it but I found a picture of one of their meetings where people were sitting on the floor. There were no chairs. I believe this is the direction they are aiming for in the Bible study that I just left.

When I had moved to a different town many years ago and needed a new church, the church that I decided to attend I had felt so at home from day one. I never felt spiritually excited or relaxed from these SCJ Bible studies. Of course now I know why. I can’t feel spiritually relaxed or excited about a cult.

Revelation 22 [NIV]
[ 18] I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
[ 19] And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
[ 20] He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Help!!! My mom has been in these classes for about 8 months. She’s in love with the man who brought her in. I don’t know how to get her to understand what she’s in.
