The same situation exists today as it always has existed in some form. Today Gnosticism appears under the guise of “esoteric Christianity.” Some individuals and groups that embrace and promote Gnostic ideas still claim to be Christian. Examples may include the Church of Christ, Scientist (Christian Science), and other New Thought groups and churches that make a strong distinction between “Jesus” and “Christ” and deny any real, unique ontological incarnation of God in the man Jesus.
