The Pneumósoma Manifesto: Escaping the Indoctrination of Christianity and Becoming the True Body of Christ.

A message to the New Creation….

You’ve been indoctrinated. You’ve been lied to. You’ve been fooled.

Not by accident, not by coincidence, but by design. You were handed a name, Christian, and told it meant something divine. You were ushered into a system called Christianity, and told it was the holy, original expression of the Body of Christ. You were given a label and told to wear it like armor. But that label was never spoken by the Son of God. That system was never authored by His Spirit. And what you’ve come to call your “faith” may very well be the very thing keeping you from being truly filled.

The name Christian appears only three times in all of Scripture, and never once did Jesus Christ utter it. It was not heaven’s declaration—it was man’s classification. It was first spoken by outsiders, by the observing world, by Gentiles trying to categorize a peculiar people who didn’t fit into their temples or synagogues. That’s it. It was a convenient title. But convenience is the very language of compromise.

So how did we get here—this world where “Christianity” is both cross and contradiction, where the same label is worn by saints and snakes, where the word “Christian” can mean radically indwelt or completely counterfeit? Simple. We normalized the mixture. We baptized the common and called it holy. We turned a living identity into a religious brand. And now that brand has become so emotionally defended, so deeply embedded, that to question it—to even suggest that it’s not of divine origin—is to be accused of heresy.

But I’ll say it again, and louder this time:

You’ve been indoctrinated.

Not taught. Not discipled. Indoctrinated. Programmed to defend the label, not discern the substance. And if we’re being honest, it doesn’t take divine insight to see it. One look at the modern “Christian world” reveals a bloated body, full of division, hypocrisy, powerlessness, and compromise. We’re told we’re “the Church,” but what kind of church houses both the living and the dead? Both the holy and the hellbound? What kind of body tolerates infection and calls it inclusion?

This is why the term “Christian” and the system of “Christianity” are no longer sustainable. Not because they’re outdated, but because they are impure containers trying to hold a new creation. The wine has changed, but the wineskin hasn’t. And Jesus made it clear: old skins burst when filled with new wine.

So then—what’s the alternative? If not “Christian,” then what? If not “Christianity,” then who are we?

Enter the Pneumocryst.

This is not a new religion. This is not a rebranding. This is the original identity that was never meant to be diluted by human systems. A Pneumocryst is a being in whom the Pneuma (Spirit) and the Christos (Anointed Word) have crystallized into one. Not a label. A lifeform. Not a follower. A fused creation. The Pneumocryst does not merely follow Jesus—they contain Him. They are not called Christians by society—they are called sons by the Father.

But even the Pneumocryst is not the end goal. Because the Body was never meant to remain scattered. The Spirit draws them together. The Anointed Word aligns them. And what emerges is something glorious and terrifying to the religious world:

The Pneumósoma.

The Pneumósoma is the collective body of the indwelt. Not the visible church with pulpits and performance, but the invisible Body that moves with the wind of the Spirit and burns with the breath of God. It is the true ekklesia—the called-out ones—not because they go to church, but because they are the Church. They were not enrolled. They were reborn.

This is where things get uncomfortable for the indoctrinated. Because what we’re saying here threatens not just their label, but their identity. The moment you challenge the term “Christian,” the moment you even whisper that “Christianity” is not a divine structure, you trigger the defense mechanisms of a deeply conditioned soul. Why? Because people don’t just defend their belief systems—they become them. To question the label is to unravel the scaffolding of their spiritual safety. So they fight back. Not with discernment, but with indoctrinated rage.

They’ll say, “But it has Christ in it! It must be from God!”

As if the devil can’t package deception in a holy-sounding wrapper. As if having the word “Christ” guarantees purity. As if Satan didn’t quote Scripture to the Son of God. Wake up. Holiness isn’t in the syllables—it’s in the source.

Let’s also take a moment to address one of the most sacred and yet misunderstood elements in modern religious identity: the cross.

The cross has become the universal icon of Christianity, often worn around the neck or mounted on buildings. But let’s ask the hard question: did Jesus ever say the cross was the symbol of salvation? The answer is no. The New Testament never refers to the cross as a divine emblem. It speaks of it as an instrument of death, a metaphor for self-denial, and a reminder of what Christ endured. But never once does it say the cross itself holds power. The Scriptures are clear—salvation is in the blood, the resurrection, and the name of Jesus. Not in the shape of the object he was nailed to.

It was the Roman Catholic Church, centuries later, that institutionalized the cross as a religious icon. Constantine’s vision turned it into a military banner. Over time, it became an artifact, then a relic, and now for many, a badge of identity. But a badge is not a birthright. A symbol is not a spirit.

Let the cross be meaningful, yes. Let it remind you of the cost, yes. But don’t make it your God. Let the one on the cross be your God. The wood held him for a moment, but the tomb could not.

This is where analogy becomes our tool of compassion. Because you can’t rip the mask off the indoctrinated. You have to hand them a mirror.

So imagine this: A person grows up in a house with faulty wiring. Lights flicker, walls crack, the ceiling leaks. But they were told this house was “blessed.” They were told this house was built by God. Every hazard was painted over. Every short-circuit excused. Then one day, someone knocks on the door and says, “This house is about to burn. The foundation is compromised. There’s a better house—the Master Builder has made one not with hands, but with breath and glory.”

But instead of leaving, the person screams,

“How dare you insult my home! This is my heritage! My family built this house in God’s name!”

So they stay.

And the fire comes.

And they defend it to the death.

They defend their indoctrination all the way to the lake of fire.

This is not fiction. This is what’s happening in the religious world today. People would rather stay loyal to their label than surrender to the Spirit. They would rather be in the crowd than in the truth. They would rather belong to the church of mixture than be cut off and reborn into the Body of light.

But the Pneumósoma cannot mix. It cannot fellowship with rot. It is a body built of fire and breath and holiness. It has no building, no denomination, no mailing list. It moves like wind, it glows like embers, it speaks in power. It is the kingdom without borders, the temple without bricks, the Church without compromise.

This Body cannot be created by man. It can only be born. And it rejects every foreign substance—every parasite of religion, every infection of performance, every idol of tradition.

The time has come for the great separation.

“Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14

You cannot mix the old man and the new man in the same house. You cannot blend the powerless and the empowered in the same army. You cannot pour resurrected wine into the dead skins of religion. And you cannot be set apart while still clinging to what is common.

It’s time to leave the house with faulty wiring.

It’s time to abandon the name that never came from heaven.

It’s time to stop defending the cage just because you were born in it.

You are not a Christian.

You are not part of Christianity.

You are not a member of a religious label that mixes the righteous with the self-righteous and dares to call it holy.

You are a Pneumocryst—a new creation in whom the Breath and the Anointed Word have become one.

And you belong to the Pneumósoma—the set-apart Body of sons and daughters, fused by fire and animated by God.

This is the end of indoctrination.

This is the beginning of divine identity.

Welcome home.
