UK Apologetics Library (U.K.A.L)
The UK Apologetics Library (U.K.A.L.) is a ministry composed of believing individuals who identify as Born-Again. (John 3:3). It functions as an investigative and research initiative, compiling reports from individuals and researcher groups worldwide. Some contributors remain anonymous for personal reasons but share a commitment to exposing harmful groups and individuals to the public (Ephesians 5:11).
Our Mission
The primary purpose of U.K.A.L. is to provide guidance and support to individuals whose family members are involved in cults (2 Corinthians 6:14-17). The ministry also helps those inside these groups who wish to leave by connecting them with organisations and individuals equipped to assist them (Galatians 1:6-9).
Additionally, U.K.A.L. receives information from individuals within churches or organisations who fear public exposure due to the influence of these groups. Our goal is to bring such concerns to light, ensuring truth prevails (Matthew 10:26-27).
In addition, U.K.A.L. receives information from people within churches or organisations who are too fearful to come forward publicly due to the influence of the groups they are connected to.
Independent and Focused Ministry
U.K.A.L. is an independent project that maintains a global network of contacts, including evangelical Christians in the UK and beyond. We are unaffiliated with the charismatic movement and operate autonomously, focusing solely on building a comprehensive archive of media and documented research (Acts 17:11).
- We do not receive external funding and are entirely self-supported.
- Contributions come in the form of publications, documents, audio-visual materials, and articles to enhance our knowledge base.
Founder’s History
Miguel Hayworth, the founder of U.K.A.L., previously established First Plumbline Apologetics in 2001. This ministry later evolved into U.K.A.L., broadening its focus to counter false doctrines and unbiblical movements (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Having observed spiritual deception across various denominations, Miguel became deeply concerned about teachings that stray from Biblical truth (Colossians 2:8). Initially, his work concentrated on exposing false teachers within mainstream Christianity, but over time, it expanded to include a wider scope, covering topics such as:
- Cult awareness (2 Peter 2:1-3)
- Abortion and ethical concerns (Psalm 139:13-16)
- Doctrinal integrity in Christian teachings (Jude 3)
Through an extensive network of Christian groups, apologetics ministries, and cult-awareness organisations, U.K.A.L. remains at the forefront of exposing false doctrines and offering Biblical guidance (Ephesians 4:14-15).
Our Beliefs
God of Israel
We believe in the God of Israel as the one true God, consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three persons, yet one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
Authority of Scripture
The Bible, in its original manuscripts, is infallible and serves as the supreme authority for faith and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Salvation
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation requires personal acceptance of Jesus and obedience to God’s Word (Romans 10:9-10; John 14:15).
Eschatology (End Times)
Those who reject Jesus Christ will face eternal separation from God (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9).
Death and the Afterlife
We believe in Sheol (Hades) as a temporary state of death and Keber (the grave) as a waiting place until the resurrection (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 16:22-23).
Jesus as the Fulfilment of the Torah
Jesus is the fulfilment of the Torah and the Sabbath, bringing completion to the law (Matthew 5:17; Colossians 2:16-17).
Original Sin
Humanity is fallen due to original sin and cannot justify itself before God without Christ (Romans 3:23; Psalm 51:5).
Gentiles and Israel
Gentiles who accept Christ are grafted into the covenant with Israel but do not replace Israel in God’s prophetic plan (Romans 11:17-24).
Prophetic Plan
God’s plan for the salvation and gathering of Israel remains central to His purposes for the world (Isaiah 11:12; Ezekiel 36:24-28).
Spiritual Gifts
We believe in the operation of spiritual gifts within the church but reject charismatic or Pentecostal extremism (1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 14:40).
Unity in the Spirit
We uphold the unity of God’s people based on Biblical truth while rejecting ecumenism and multi-faith compromises (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).
Baptism
We affirm believer’s baptism as a response to faith, not as a means of salvation (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-4).
Rejection of False Doctrine
We oppose traditions and teachings that are not rooted in Scripture, including Eucharistic Adoration and sacramental practices (Mark 7:7-9; Colossians 2:20-23).
