LOUIS SCHEPPEGRELL II v. BERNIECE R. HICKS, ET AL.

|| CGC was and is known for believing that they are members of, variously, 'the 144,000,' 'the
Bride,' or the 'Manifested Sons of God,' and that CGC, embodied in the person of Rev. Hicks, alone
possesses all truth. Thus, all other churches are viewed as deficient or backslidden, spiritually. The
church teaches 'old-fashioned Holiness' in matters of conduct and dress, such as refraining from
watching television or attending movie theaters, and women wearing dresses or skirts rather than pants.

|| The emphasis of Hicks' teachings was, among other things, that the Bible is the infallible Word of
God and that it calls on Christians to grow to spiritual maturity, both in their moral development and in
their spiritual love relationship with Jesus Christ, in order to be in the Bride of Christ. Hicks taught
strongly implied that the Rapture would occur either concurrently with or almost immediately after her
death.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

1 John 4:1

Fade out

Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious: I am your God. I will strengthen you,
