A group left September 1, 1997 from "The Church of God (Charleston, TN/Robert Pruitt Division)", with the official acceptance of a "Declaration of Independence" at Ringgold, Georgia, after many attempts at reconciliation failed. According to church sources, "On August 29, 1997 men once again overpowered theocracy and the General Assembly was hijacked and still another split occurred leaving only a remnant of faithful followers of theocratic government. A remnant has once again lifted the banner and pledged to keep it The Church of God by following the principles of theocracy."
They are heretics, with nepotism being one of their problems as one of the leaders daughters has been caught lying numerous times, allowing her under age son to drink and hang with others who use drugs so I wouldn't put it past him to also partake as well, and she is the biggest reason most new people stop going to one of their locations. They are also freeloaders because his daughter doesn't know how to clean her house. Her "daddy" was never told the complaints about her that departing members had, one time he did but he refused to listen to both sides and sided with his daughter.
After being caught she just covers it up with another lie. She lies that she looks into her children's computer usage. Another lie. Otherwise she would see numerous cursing, racial slurrs (the family is racist and has no problem using those words) talks of drug use and drinking. She has enabled, condones other sinful behavior and has lied many times in the past. She lies to her mother when in the car about a radio station saying they never listen to it but they do all the time. A flat out LIE. Maybe she someone should remind her that everything she says and does is written down and one day she WILL be judged by it. The devil has a direct hold and the moment the "members" of this false church figure this out their lives will be alot less stressful. I think if the other two leaders knew about this families behavior alot of the lying would stop.
It is believed by this group that both The Church of God/Pruitt Division and the Church of God of Prophecy have left "Theocratic Government" upon which the original group led by the late Bishop A. J. Tomlinson stood as the Bible Church. The name of this group is "The Church of God of North Carolina" and they have staked their claim upon the Scriptures as the remnant of believers sticking to the doctrine and practices as taught by Bishop A. J. Tomlinson and practiced until the removal of Bishop M. A. Tomlinson in 1990. This group believes and practices all the teachings as they were previously taught by the Church of God of Prophecy up through 1989. In accord with their idea of theocratic government, the General Assembly "recognized and established the Office of International Overseer in accordance with New Testament order."
It should be noted that the removal of Bishop M.A. Tomlinson in 1990 was necessitated by his own failing health, and was acceded to personally by Bishop Tomlinson, with his full endorsement and support of then-newly appointed Bishop Billy R. Murray as General Overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy.
