WARNING:
LINCOLN CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS A CULT!
The following is factual information which you must consider before attending a "Bible Talk," Campus
Advance meeting or Sunday Service of the Lincoln Christian Church (known nationally as the Boston
Movement): **
"Each baptized believer is subject to a personal ‘discipler/ who gives advice not only on spiritual
problems but also on daily life. Dropouts complain that the advice, which members are expected to
obey, may include such details as where to live, whom and when to date, what courses to take in
school, even how often to have sex with a spouse." - TIME, May 18, 1992
__Testimony of known leaders of this movement:
"Even if he (the minister) calls you to do something that disobeys your conscience, you still have an
obligation to study it out and prayerfully change vour opinion so you can be totally unified." - Leader
of the movement, Kip McKean, Boston Seminar, 1987

Sermon entitled DEEP CONVICTIONS by Jay Kelly, minister of Lincoln Christian, December 8, 1991:
"Deep convictions to be discipled. Be appreciative to be discipled. Discipline for your own good.
When you're told to do something by your ‘discipler’ do you do it?"
s Interview of elder Al Baird of the Boston Church, August 8, 1989, by Buddy Martin of Cape Cod, MA
when asked who "disciples" Kip McKean (leader of the movement):
Question: "Who does Kip report to?" 1
Al Baird: "Kip reports to, to ... uh ... I don’t know - no one."
"An awesome disciple (Christian) is one who assumes his ‘discipler’ is more objective and accurate
about his life than he is." - Eric Mansfield, Zone leader, Chicago, May 14, 1989
"You are to be ‘discipled’ by people. That’s God’s plan. There is no other wav to be in a right
relationship with God." - Joe Garmon, Zonejieader, Brockton, MA, October, 1988
"I believe that the disciples need to follow even personality traits. I think disciples need to imitate us
wholly in what we do. . . Nothing is off limits in discipling someone’s life." - Scott Green, World Sector
leader, 1988 Boston Leadership Conference
"Your faith in God is reflected in your faith in your discipler." - Bob Harpole, Zone leader; Chicago
Church Bulletin, August 16, 1987 ^

personality changes." - A Concise Dictionary of Cults and Religions by William Watson
