text: One person is Um Soo-in (1941). She began self-proclaiming herself as the 'Heavenly Jerusalem' and the 'spiritual bride' from 1982, claiming that removing the regulation of the head veil for women was her mission. She made her claims into a book and distributed it, gathering followers within the church. Ahn Sahng-hong immediately refuted her claims. He traveled to churches and gave sermons refuting her claims, and in 1983, he produced and distributed two booklets refuting her claims. In July 1983, she was expelled from the church. Based on Ahn Sahng-hong's sermons and booklets refuting Um Soo-in's claims, the New Covenant Passover Church of God claims that Ahn Sahng-hong never taught the doctrine of God the Mother.
  The other person is Zahng Gil-jah (1943). World Mission Society Church of God claims that Ahn Sang-hong established her as the spiritual bride. One of the pieces of evidence that Ahn Sang-hong established her as the Spiritual Bride is a photograph from the last Passover service on April 15, 1984. Another photo was taken on May 18, 1984, of Ahn Sahng-hong and Zahng Gil-jah wearing rented wedding attire at a wedding hall. In addition to the photos, the church claims that Ahn Sahng-hong taught the doctrine of God the Mother based on booklets and notes left by him. They also claim that because Ahn Sahng-hong had the mission of Elijah, which is to testify to the coming Christ, another savior must appear after him.
