Beliefs

Intercontinental Church of God is a splinter group of the Worldwide Church of God, whose founder was evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong's father, evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong. As such it holds to most of the distinctive beliefs taught by the Armstrongs such as the continuing validity of the Law of Moses (e.g., observing the seventh sabbath and annual holy days) for Christians, and the falsity of the Trinity, personality of the Holy Spirit, and immortality of the soul. [3] An idiosyncratic interpretation of biblical prophecy is strongly emphasized, particularly through their sister ministry, the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association[4].
