Followers of the One

The Church of the Followers of the One True King, or just Followers of the One, is the name given to a neo-Christian fundamentalist organization and doomsday cult, claiming to be the "Chosen Ones" predestined by God Himself to protect His people during what they perceive to be the "end of days." 
==History==
The Followers of the One were founded by Shawn A. Martin, a pastor, in the early 2000s, out of a Christian revival movement that swept America. During this time, Shawn attracted quite a lot of controversy regarding his interpretation of the Christian Bible and how it seemed to call people to "protect God's children" through warfare and bloodshed.
Since 2017, the Followers of the One have at least two billion followers, one of the biggest cult followings in religious history. 
==Ideology==
The Followers of the One follow a rather "unorthodox" form of Christianity. They believe in one God, whom they call "the One True King", or just "the One", and that Jesus Christ is the Son of the One and that He died on the cross for humanity's sins. Similar to Pentecostalism , the Followers of the One hold that a person must be born again, received by the grace of God through faith in Christ as Lord and Savior. Also similar to Pentacostalism, the Followers of the One hold that sanctification begins once a person is born again.
The Followers of the One also have an interesting interpretation of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20: they teach that while it is true that the Great Commission is a direct order to Christians worldwide to spread the teachings of Jesus worldwide, the Great Commission is also a calling to the Followers of the One to protect the perceived "weak" (what they see as poor and defenseless people) from the oppressive dogmas of the "strong" (which they perceive to be human governments of the world that are actively opposing the will of God). They are also similar to the cult group Raven in that they believe the Great Commission is a euphemism to wage physical warfare against those who actively oppose God's Kingdom. 
==Military arm==
Main article: Chosen Ones
The paramilitary arm of the Followers of the One is referred to as the Chosen Ones. This refers to members of the Followers of the One whom the Followers of the One teach that have been "commissioned" by God to protect the spiritually (and physically) poor or weak members of the Body of Christ.
