Bro you missed it pls who gave you all these trash information From which library did you collate this misinformation

Where is CAC one of the first Africa pentecostal prayer warrior church, if you mention churches and CAC not mention you are not serious. To what I heard CAC has be around since 1930 if I'm right and the founder had a unique calling that only few pastors or founders has such calling till date.

Where is Mountain of Fire

And host of others......

Pls dont start your childish misinformation this Sunday morning kindly dress up and go to church ok. PEACE!!!

Where is Apostolic faith

Just look at the top

Ellyogun:
I see misinformation everywhere on this post by the op. Christ Embassy didn't start in uniben, it started at ambrose Ali university, ekpoma

Nor mind d Op, e brain fall for hot water

Your List is not credible man. Where the did you put Christ Apostolic Church ? Most of these churches including Deeper Life started from CAC before they left to start their own churches. I can categorically state that most of the General Overseers of these modern day churches you listed were born into the Apostolic Church. Deeper Life, MFM and the likes, have doctrines very similar to the Apostolic Faith. That number 10 shouldn't be on that list only if you are a member of the church. Go back to the drawing board and do your research well. Go and learn history instead of listing churches and going on Google to define their existence. My one dollar comment.

If you don't know nothing, I'll tell you something. Christ Apostolic Church is the first Aladura Pentecostal Church present in Nigeria and other countries, It has come into existence in the first half of the 20th century, in the then-British empireIts growth was led by Joseph Ayo Babalola, a road construction driver who became its founder. The revival led by Babalola resulted in thousands burning their traditional fetishes. This disturbed the colonial authorities, and allegations included witch-hunting and opposition to hospitals and medicine. Babalola was arrested and jailed.. It was formally established in 1941.

Inaccurate information.Chosen did not start in 1994.it started in dec 2002

I see fallacy especially with the first church mentioned. Christ never appointed Peter pope anywhere, remember it's the same Peter that Christ rebuked even to the point of calling him Satan (though He meant that Satan was speaking through him).
It's also clear that all through the Bible that Jesus is the rock and not St Peter.
I know Catholic priests dnt marry but Peter had a family to the point of Christ healing his mother in law

I don't think u know much about the popular church in Nigeria. U left CCC, CAC, Baptist, out of your list and they u went ahead to list churches that are closer to your arear. Do your research well and the post again accordingly.

This one u see CAC - cooperate affairs commission
