There's a growing church that goes by the name "light of the world". They believed that you can only be saved through a man named Samuel Joquin who lives in Guadalajara Mexico and claims to be a apostle directly sent from God. You must be water baptized by him, and he is the only one that can properly interpret the Bible for anyone, because his interpretation is claimed to come directly from God. If you are not baptized and are not a part of this church then according to them you are not saved and have no salvation

In Mexico, a church calling itself “La Luz del Mundo” claims five million members in 33 countries. Its “living apostle,” Samuel Joaquín Flores, denies the doctrine of the Trinity and claims that there is no salvation outside his church. A special group of followers, known as los Incondicionales (“the Unconditionals”), is sworn to obey their leader’s every order and is used to suppress opponents and dissenters — even if it means resorting to violence

People who deny the trinity put man number which is six on the part of God they do not believe before faith in God .... Which leave questions of salvation , then 6 million is not a lot of people in the world if this church is the only light on the world .....

There are any number of Christian cult like groups in the world. They do not know what they are doing and perhaps are doing the best they can with what they understand. God is merciful to all. Religion is Babylon and keeps people in bondage. This does not mean they will not eventually enter into freedom.

It's a cult. Nothing more. As is common in most cults, he will have all the money, the power, the women.

A woman should know her place within the church, no?
