He claims to be the appointed Son of God
I stumbled upon Apollo Quiboloy on a trip to Davao. What caught my curiosity was his claim. He's supposed to be the appointed Son of God.
Apollo has his own TV station where he preaches things like "the Father's appointed Son has been given dominion and authority on this world."
As his congregation listens to him rapt in his every word, he claims that he went through Adam's test (no details are given) and passed. So now he embodies Adam and therefore the first parent again. Of course, his followers are therefore the new chosen children of heaven.
Naturally, all priests, evangelists and preachers are no longer needed or must go through him.
You should see him talk. He delivers these claims in a business-like manner. He even uses biz terms like "stakeholders," "investments," etc.
One important topic on leadership is narcissism. Leaders need a bit of it because it serves as motivation.
However, too much of it, like Apollo's is dangerous, if not outright creepy. He says these things with 200% confidence and you wonder at the infirmity of minds of his followers.
