the"amazing" thing or "amazed" person was truly so, but
because it was of the ICC, it was seemingly so.
|
- Awesome
|
- The most popular fluff word in the ICC is the
word"awesome". "Awesome" is a word used by members to
describe anything and everything that is of the ICC, and
therefore good. Members using this word are not always
aware of what they are truly saying, not always fully
believing that what they are speaking of is truly
awesome.
|

- An adjective borrowed from repeat occurrences in
Acts, the ICC uses "bold" to describe their own outspoken
and arrogant manner of"evangelizing".

- Convicting/Convicted

"Convicting" is anything or anybody that prompts an ICC
member to feel inadequate in their behavior, lifestyle,
or relationship with God, usually. followed by an abrupt
change accordingly.A "convicted" person is one who has
been reduced to "brokenness"(self-hatred, emotionally
instability) following an ICC "Light and Darkness study"
or "Cross study". According to the ICC, there are three
stages of membership: curious (going to a
service,participating in initial "Bible studies"),
"convicted" (after having completed the full series of
"Bible studies", and committed (a member).

Encouraged

- Soothing, relieving proof that you are doing the
right thing is"encouraging" according to the ICC.
"Encouragement" can be anything from receiving a overly
decorative card after having been out on a date to being
called "God's spokesmen and modern day "prophet" in
services. It is the continual cycle of "encouragement"
and "rebukes"(verbal abuse) that keep "disciples" in
check.

doing"great things" for God or God doing "great things"

congregation's potential recruitment of new members or a
member's or an entire congregation's potential

|
- Moving/Moved
|
- Sometimes used in same context
as"convicted/convicted", but often used to compare the
ICC with Churches of Christ. One justification for the
ICC's controversial ways is that if the movement was not
"moving" (as in growing, expanding, etc.),then they would
not be of God. What makes the ICC a movement of man and
not of God is this fact alone: their success is based on
superficial values (numbers of recruits, "sharpness" of
leaders,money collected, etc.) and not spiritual values
founded on a healthy relationships with God.
|
- Powerful
|
- In the ICC, it is commonly believed that if you have
a"powerful prayer," God will be more prone to answering
it."Powerful", another filler word, is used to describe
things which are big, loud, and intimidating. In this
sense, you will find many"powerful evangelists" in the
ICC.
|
- Related
|
- When a member believes that God has spoken to him/her
usu.through a message in that someone shared a common
"struggle", he/she is said to have "related". Often,
these incidents are not by accident or coincidence, but
actually planned by those in leadership. This phenomenon
is called mystic manipulation, or the manmade plotting of
allegedly "spiritual" events.
