Located in Palbok-dong, Jeonju, the Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Jeonju Church recently hosted another “Open Sanctuary” event, transforming its lobby into a welcoming space for neighborhood interaction. Residents gathered to enjoy busking performances, exchange handwritten message cards, and share tea in a relaxed setting. According to the church, the initiative is not a one-time event but part of a 20-year tradition of lowering physical and social barriers between religious facilities and the surrounding community.

Shincheonji Seoul James Tribe Hosts Bible Seminar, 1,000 Gather to Hear the Word

On September 6, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Seoul James Tribe (led by Tribe Leader Yoo Young-bin) held a large-scale Bible seminar at Seoul Church, drawing more than 1,000 participants including congregation members, pastors, local residents, and media representatives.

This marked the first seminar in five months, following the April event, and the strong turnout reflected the growing interest in Shincheonji’s message.

A Call to Recognize True Faith

Delivering his sermon on Revelation 22:18–19, Tribe Leader Yoo Young-bin spoke on the theme of “Faith Recognized by God.” He emphasized that genuine faith is not merely affiliation with a denomination but is measured by reverence, obedience, and the Word itself.

“Faith means to believe, to uphold, to fear, and to live in reverence,” he said. “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? The standard of true faith is God, Jesus, and the Word.”

He urged attendees to receive the Word with sincerity and, like the Bereans in Acts, examine the Scriptures daily to confirm what is true.

The Standard of Revelation

Yoo highlighted the importance of knowing the entire Bible, stressing that no one can enter heaven without keeping the book of Revelation without addition or subtraction. “Only when we remain in the One who gives us strength, searching the Scriptures faithfully, can we receive every blessing God has promised,” he said.

Pastors and Congregations Taking Notice

The event also underscored a broader trend. Since 2023, a total of 8,510 people have attended Shincheonji’s Bible seminars, with around 1,700 joining this year alone. Nationwide, 917 churches in Korea have signed MOUs with Shincheonji for Scripture-based exchanges, and 112 have gone so far as to update their signs to reflect the partnership.

Such figures indicate that what began as isolated curiosity is now becoming a significant movement within Korean Christianity — pastors and congregations alike are opening the Bible anew and re-examining Revelation through Shincheonji’s testimony.

A Message for Today’s Believers

Participants described the gathering as a meaningful opportunity to reflect on their own walk of faith. The atmosphere was marked by both reverence and urgency as listeners were reminded that Revelation’s promises are not symbolic mysteries but living words to be understood and kept.

The Seoul James Tribe affirmed that more Bible seminars will continue, offering pastors, believers, and seekers the chance to experience the testimony of Revelation for themselves.
