Hundreds celebrate the man who says he's Jesus reincarnated


The man claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, Jose Luis De Jesus, recently celebrated his birthday. And hundreds of his followers attended. The local CBS affiliate in Golden Gate, Florida covering the festivities stated, "Hundreds gathered in Golden Gate to celebrate their Christmas - the birthday of a Miami man who says he is Jesus Christ the man."

De Jesus has garnered much attention over the last few years having appeared on several well known national news broadcasts such as NBC's The Today Show. In 2007 CNN did a story on De Jesus titled "Pastor with 666 tattoo claims to be divine." Included in that story is footage of De Jesus' followers getting 666 tattoos.

De Jesus is the leader of the Creciendo en Gracia (Growing in Grace International Ministry) cult. He claims to be and is believed by his followers to be the actual reincarnation of Jesus Christ. And the followers of De Jesus view themselves as God's true chosen people and their children are viewed as a "super race."
