Session 5: What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe?

In this session of Secret Church 18, Pastor David Platt teaches us what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe and how Christians should share the gospel with them. He offers an overview of the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses by answering three main questions: (1) Who are Jehovah’s Witnesses? (2) What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe? (3) How do we share the gospel with Jehovah’s Witnesses?

One of the distinctive teachings of this cult is that they believe God’s one true name is Jehovah. In addition to denying many core Christian doctrines, Jehovah’s Witnesses reject Scripture’s teaching about the Trinity and the full divinity of Jesus Christ. Like Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses claim to be Christians. However, those who follow their official teachings have not believed in the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is revealed in Scripture. Christians should therefore present the true gospel to them.
