What is a false religion? The One True God is YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the God of the Jewish people. His Son Jesus Christ is the Messiah that the Jews rejected, and the Gentiles accepted as Lord. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. All religions that do not acknowledge 1) that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and He is God, the second Person of the Godhead and 2) that He came to earth through a virgin, was born, lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of the whole world and He is the only way to the Father and 3) That He rose bodily from the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father till His enemies are put under His feet. Any religion that denies any of these tenets is a false religion in Christianity.
False religions always deny that Jesus is the Son of God. False religions are headed up by demon spirits. It is the demon spirits that receive the worship of false religions. Some false religions don’t believe in the One God at all but in nature and worship the creature rather than the Creator God. Whatever the belief, false religions lead to Hell. It is a way that SEEMS right but the end is death. The exception is Judaism, which does deny Jesus is their Messiah, and they are still waiting for the Messiah. Judaism believes in the One True God: YHWH.
The following prayer is for those who have made the decision to come to Jesus and want to repent and release all allegiance to the false religion they were involved in. Some of the false religions in the world today are:
- Islam
- Hinduism
- Buddhism
- Jehovah’s Witness
- Mormonism
- Scientology
- B’hai
The prayer below is a general prayer that you can insert your false religion into to make it specific to your situation.

I repent of idolatry and I plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over this sin and ask to be cleansed from the inside out and that though my sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow!

Thank You for saving me and delivering me! I ask these things in Jesus’ Name. Amen and Amen!”
