The Major Differences Between These Two Churches

1. The two churches have different shoe policies: S&C members can wear shoes outside the church but not inside the church. For the CCC, the case is different. Once you wear your white garment, whether inside the church or outside, you can not wear shoes.

2. They use different languages: Like the Catholic church, known for using Latin, Cherubim & Seraphim is associated with the Yoruba language of the South West of Nigeria, during their church service. However, the Celestial Church of Christ uses the English language across Nigeria.

3. Both churches use different colours of candles: C&S use different colours for special prayers while CCC sticks to white candles. Reportedly, this is because the church sees other candles as unpleasant.

4. Both have similar, yet different chants of praise: C&S says Hallelujah (Halleluyah) followed by methodically, IYÈ seven times. CCC says Hallelujah, Hosanna, Ebenezer, to the four corners of the earth - North, South, East and West. In total, the CCC members say it 28 times.

5. They have different church logos, mode of worship, types of songs, hierarchy in the churches, and differences in the ways in which they celebrate ceremonies in the churches. Even in baptism of the holy spirit there are differences between the churches.

Although they are still separate ministries, these two churches share similarities as they both: 1.Wear white robes, gowns and cassock of similar quality and design. 2. They both believe in Christ and also worship the living God above all.
