They think their soul is immortal and the resurrection speaks only of the dead body coming back to be united again with its disembodied soul. They dont realize the gospel or "good news" is promarily concerning that dead folks can live again with Christ.

So do the groups that can from Bishop Johnson uniformly teach this?

So aren't unbelievers also going to live again? hmmm...

So if unbelievers will be RESURRECTED, how can you be teaching that the good news is resurrection from the dead as if only Christians will be raised from the dead?

You are right. I have heard many of Bishop Johnson's messages. Although he had great faith in God, many of his messages were legalistic and the tradiions of men. Come on,during his debates wasn't he just rude and downright nasty to his opponents?

Praise the Lord. Are you sure that you are not equating nastiness with straight forward honest based off of the Word?

A few things that he taught may have been to the extreme ( but not major doctrine ) that Bishop Hunter came behind and clarified, but what did he teach that was really "man-made"?

Is Bishop Hunter from the Chicago area?

Not at all, he was born and raised here in South Carolina before moving to Philadelphia later in his life, he preached under Bishop Johnson for sometime before God moved him back to Hartsville, SC where his ministry was established.

He may have been referring to the two different resurrections, the 1st where only the dead in Christ will arise along with those of us who will be alive and remain, and then the 2nd resurrection in the day of judgement.
