The Council said the only true Jesus is the one begotten by Mary, who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified on the cross, buried and rose again on the third day.

The Council said that Jesus would return one day to reward those who have done God's will rather than establish a new church or movement.

The Council further warned Ghanaians against relying on miraculous spectacles to determine whether God has anointed a person.
