The world is home to many religions and belief systems. There are numerous churches that all follow their own doctrine. In some cases the differences between churches are very small but in some cases they are fundamental. Numerous sects have also sprung up and some of them believe that their way is the only way to salvation. Such sects are often targeted by both other churches and by the general public. At present, many critics are doing everything they can to see the HOPCC exposed.

Detractors of the House of Prayer church are adamant in their belief that this church is nothing but a scam to strip members of their assets are to enrich the officials of the church, all done in the name of God and with the promise of life eternal. Critics are vocal and they use the internet and social media to warn the general public against this church.

Many critics say that the church lie to prospective members. They say that church officials promise prospective members that the church will look after both their spiritual and physical needs. Critics say that the teachings of the church are not based upon the true gospel but that they are rather twisted versions of biblical text that are used out of context to keep members in line.

Critics say that as soon as they join the church, pressure is applied to coerce them in donating their worldly assets to the church. Some claim that they even had to donate their homes and others say they were forced to resign their everyday jobs. Apparently, the church policy is that the belongings of one member are the belongings of all.

Many critics say that the Hope of Prayer indoctrinates young people to turn their backs on their own families. According to some critics the church entices youngsters to join and once they have joined they are told that the church is their only family. Many examples of young people that have severed ties with their loved ones are cited on some of the websites.

The House of Prayer seminary is also under attack. According the church students and staff at the faculty are encouraged to close themselves from all worldly influences in order to achieve spiritual growth. Critics say that by denying the students and staff the ability to own possessions or earn an income the church is simply making sure that those unfortunate people can be manipulated at will.

The enemies of the House of Prayer do not limit their attacks to online criticism. Several attempts have been made to lay charges or to at least convince the authorities to investigate the church, its finances and its doctrine. However, the authorities maintain that they cannot launch any investigation without proof that laws are broken. Voluntary membership of the church is certainly not a crime.

The House of Prayer Christian Church seems to have adopted a policy of quiet dignity. They do not answer criticisms in public and they do not enter into debate about their policies and doctrine. Their website contains a number of letters from grateful members.
