Beliefs, Doctrines & Practices of Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church

The C&S Movement Church is a Pentecostal Church with so many of its established practices adopted from the Bible to build and strengthen the faith of members.

There are so many who do not know anything about the Church. Yet some know but cannot relate its practices and mode of worship with the Holy Bible to confirm the truthfulness and strengthen their faith. So many people believe that C&S Movement Church is guided by St. Moses Orimolade’s law. It should however be noted that St. Moses Orimolade did not have any law. Rather, God instructed him to teach his followers His (God’s) commandments and Moses did provide guidelines so that it would be well with him and his followers. However, all these have been within the context of what Jesus Christ said in John 6:27-32, Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Exodus 19:3-8; 16:4, 1 Corinthians 1:26, and Matthew 13:11 (Agboola, 1990).
