  • Jim Jones, who claimed to be a saviour superior to Jesus Christ (http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=60680), was very influenced by Father Divine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_Divine). It's interesting to note that Father Divine also (apparently) claimed to be divine; certainly the language of these newspaper reports heavily suggests he must have taught this.
