All the matches on Google Scholar are false positives.
Two of the sources used in this article are mailing lists (cryonet.org and listserv.ru.ac.za).
All I could find are WP:PASSING mentions of this denomination in articles from February 2002 about its founder Freddie Isaacs having predicted his own death and still being alive after the announced date ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]). The secondary sources Dispatch Online and The Herald Online in this article report the same event.
Health-e and IOL News used in the article also cover events related to Freddie Isaacs, but not to his denomination.
Therefore, this denomination does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:NCHURCH; so I propose deletion. Veverve (talk) 08:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Unbelievable that this has survived here since 2009! Hard to tell whether it’s an attack page or an honest piece of promotion for outrageous quackery, but mercifully it’s not notable so it doesn’t matter. Mccapra (talk) 16:34, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: for the records, the equivalent on WPaf was deleted in 2010. Veverve (talk) 16:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Mccapra. Not notable. --Bduke (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as does not pass WP:GNG due to only passing mentions in reliable sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:36, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
