In my former article entitled “The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) 'not representative of Christianity in Korea'” (link below), I provided brief insight into the corrupt and immoral practices of the CCK and their rapid decline in membership. Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter 'Shincheonji Church'), which is forecast to secure a congregation of 300,000 by the end of 2019, has published an article supporting the argument that the CCK is no longer representative of Korean Christianity and has no grounds to label other churches a ‘cult’ when it itself forces Christians to believe their doctrine (link below).
Although the president of the Christian
Council of Korea (CCK), Jeon Gwang-Hoon, has been causing controversy with his insistence that the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) is
representative of Protestant Christianity in Korea, figures show that the CCK represents a mere 3% (349,471) of the total number of Protestant Christians in Korea (11,132,750). The Christian Ethics Movement of Korea
(CEMK), which promotes ethical living appropriate to the Gospel, supported the
findings of the report 'Religious Status of Korea in 2018' published by the Ministry
of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which found that out of a total 374
Protestant denominations in Korea, only 67 belong to the CCK (18%).
CEMK explained: "79 denominations have registered on the Christian Council
of Korea (CCK) website. Of these, 10 denominations have already been placed on administrative
hold. The denominations which requested administrative hold are no longer
cooperating with the CCK. Thus, in fact, it points to renunciation of the Christian
Council of Korea (CCK).” CEMK added that the Assemblies of God of Korea and Korea Baptist Convention have also ceased their activities with the CCK.
The CCK has no future.
