The world is home to many religions and belief systems. There are numerous churches that all follow their own doctrine. In some cases the differences between churches are very small but in some cases they are fundamental. Numerous sects have also sprung up and some of them believe that their way is the only way to salvation. Such sects are often targeted by both other churches and by the general public. At present, many critics are doing everything they can to see the HOPCC exposed.
Critics of the House of Prayer Christian Church are very serious about the complaints about the church. They have special Facebook and Twitter sites to voice and publish their criticism and there are several websites dedicated to exposing the alleged wrongs and travesties of the church. From reading the many criticisms and complaints it is clear that many of those critics were one time members of the House of Prayer.
Many critics say that the church lie to prospective members. They say that church officials promise prospective members that the church will look after both their spiritual and physical needs. Critics say that the teachings of the church are not based upon the true gospel but that they are rather twisted versions of biblical text that are used out of context to keep members in line.
Many critics testify that the church requires members to donate their material possessions to the church, apparently to make sure that all members share equally. Some allege that they were even required to donate their homes and cars and in some cases members were forced to resign their jobs. Without assets or an income it is easy for the church to manipulate its members.
Many critics say that the Hope of Prayer indoctrinates young people to turn their backs on their own families. According to some critics the church entices youngsters to join and once they have joined they are told that the church is their only family. Many examples of young people that have severed ties with their loved ones are cited on some of the websites.
The House of Prayer seminary is also under attack. According the church students and staff at the faculty are encouraged to close themselves from all worldly influences in order to achieve spiritual growth. Critics say that by denying the students and staff the ability to own possessions or earn an income the church is simply making sure that those unfortunate people can be manipulated at will.
The enemies of the House of Prayer do not limit their attacks to online criticism. Several attempts have been made to lay charges or to at least convince the authorities to investigate the church, its finances and its doctrine. However, the authorities maintain that they cannot launch any investigation without proof that laws are broken. Voluntary membership of the church is certainly not a crime.
The House of Prayer Christian Church has not answered allegations against it formally. The have published a number of letters and testimonials on their website, all very positive and full of praise for the work the church has done. The church denies that it does not allow members to own assets or that they require members to donate their assets to the church.
