Edinburgh International Christian Church

The aforementioned group employs tactics of love bombing and manipulation, posing a significant threat to society. It is imperative to exercise caution when interacting with individuals whose actions are motivated solely by self-interest, particularly those who target foreign students, as they are often more vulnerable to isolation due to their physical and emotional distance from family. The group's structure resembles that of a pyramid scheme, and they utilise food with high carbon content to weaken members both physically and mentally, facilitating greater control over them.

Incredible service today with this wonderful Christian family! The upbeat and worshipful singing stood out with several awesome singers leading the way. Friendly atmosphere, hugs all around, and an impressive worship location. I'll return!!

Please, avoid this church at all cost. It breaks my heart to say something like that, as I seek to encourage churches wherever possible. However, the teachings of this church (and the ICC as a whole) are extremely dangerous, so I feel its necessary to warn people. The most dangerous thing is that these beliefs are subtle, so you wont notice them immediately. Whats more, if you ask about this, the leadership will just dodge your questions. I have done my research - I met with one of leaders, and I also know an ex-member of the church, who attended the London campus for 2 years before realising what she had become a part of. They essentially teach that anyone outside of the ICC is not saved, and that unless you were baptised by an ICC minister you are not legitimately baptised (as before, they will avoid admitting this). They will ask you to give a timeline of your testimony, and from there they will distort Acts 2:38 to deceive you into believing you are not a real Christian, contradicting the rest of the Bible as they go. For example, with me they said I was a false Christian because I believed that I received the Holy Spirit before I was baptised (even though this is exactly what happened to the believers in Acts 10:44-48). Please do not be deceived into thinking this is some irrelevant technicality. In Galatians, some teachers had come to the Church in Galatia and distorted the Gospel in a very similar way - they claimed you were saved by believing in Christ, but that you also had to tick some other boxes. Pauls words to them are chilling: you have been alienated from Christ, you have fallen from grace. If you have been hurt by the heresies of the ICC yourself, remember the reassurance of Romans 10:9.

I am blown away by how welcoming everyone is! I've definitely found a home here. So many places I've been to have not taken the time to sit and study the bible with me and have had the patience to answer my questions and mentor me. My faith, knowledge and purpose has literally gone to non-existent to life-changing
