Abstract

This paper explores the theology and classificatory model of the Asomdwee Ntonton Nkabom Som. The classificatory model of New Religious Movements that this movement belongs to is unknown and not much has been written regarding its theology as well. Both primary and secondary sources were consulted. The complex and diverse nature as well as variety of taxonomies of New Religious Movements has partially contributed to the lack of consensus regarding having a precise definition. Based on existing classificatory model, this faith was classified as a Hebrais messianic movement. The movement has its unique and distinct theology, which to some extent, is similar to that of Christianity and Islam and this makes the movement to be seen outwardly as an amalgamation of Christianity and Islam. As such, a thorough research regarding the theology and cultural dimension of the faith is significant for Christian scholarship. Keywords: Theology, Promised Messiah, RABBI, Adherents, New Religious Movements, Fantes

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Nyame Somafo Yaw was commissioned by RABBI to deliver Ghana and the world at large from satanic bondage as well as redirect the world to the right path of worshipping RABBI.34 In this regard, just as God gave Israel, Judaism through Moses and Islam for Saudi Arabia through Prophet Mohammed (SAW), God has given the Asomdwee Ntonton Nkabom Som to Ghana. The act allows an adherent of a faith to demonstrate his/her complete acceptance of the Divine appointment and authority of his/her religious founder/leader.48 In this concern, the Bay’ah allows the adherents of the Asomdwee Ntonton Nkabom Som to testify that Nyame Somafo Yaw is a representative (Messiah) of RABBI on earth. Could it be that the founder and leader of the movement was influenced by his Islamic background?
