Man points out Rev Ukpai's mistakes

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had called people's attention to certain mistakes he claimed Rev Dr Uma Ukpai made during his ministry.

In a Facebook post, the man cited a Bible verse, saying he has a full understanding of his obligation to judge, urging people to save other church general overseers still alive by correcting them. He said that he once believed in a different gospel, a different Jesus, and a different spirit preached by many popular clerics today.

The man claimed that Ukpai made the mistakes of not repenting from dead works and the works of the law, adding that many general overseers are still making the same mistakes. He stressed that any message that distracts from Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice and replaces grace with effort, sonship with slavery or truth with theatrics is a different gospel entirely.
