Does this look like the message coming out of today's pulpits?
Too many of today's pastors are being pressured (by the god of false success) to build churches with false converts. Such churches look great on the outside and appeal to "lights, action and camera" folks but there must be concern that souls are truly converted to Christ, not just become church members.
The Lawman Chronicles blog lists 10 marks of a false convert:
1. You believe that you are inherently a good person, thus denying the doctrine of Original Sin.
2. You commit idolatry of the mind and blaspheme the very character of God by denying essential doctrines such as judgment, hell, regeneration, and justification by faith alone; and you replace the truth with lies such as sinless perfection and open theism.
3. You think that only the red-lettered words in your Bible are the words of Jesus and, therefore, the rest of the Bible can be interpreted and applied to your liking.
4. You believe that a person can be a Christian while wantonly engaging in habitual sin; such as homosexuality, fornication, adultery in mind or body, the support in any way whatsoever of the murder of the unborn, or any other sin.
5. You believe that because a person has prayed a prayer and asked Jesus into their heart, then they are saved.
6. You believe a person can be a Christian, even if they bear no fruit after making a profession of faith in Christ. You treat the grace of God as a license to sin. You like the word "backslider."
7. You struggle with the thought of missing a meal; but going days, weeks, even months without reading your Bible doesn't faze you.
8. You pray when you want something from God; but beyond that you have very little time for conversation with Him.
9. You believe that Darwinian, macro-evolution is a scientific fact and compatible with belief in the God of the Bible.
10. You see evangelism as a gift other people have; and you have no real concern about the fact that 150,000 people die every day, with the vast majority of them bound for hell. You soothe your conscience by convincing yourself that "friendship evangelism," as it is most commonly practiced among American Christians, is actually in the Bible. You think that if you "let your little light shine," you don't have to verbally proclaim the gospel.
Wonderful message to awaken the "Sleeping Giant" known as "churchgoers" sitting on pews of so many denominations that are suppose to preach the Word of God!

What this video is saying is people are serving man. Some Men have set themselves as a god. It is important for people become responsible for their own relationship in learning the word. Study for yourself. Study and not pick what you want to study. You do need a leader that will feed you and guide you properly. love.

What.You mean I can not teach them that the only law's we do not need to partake in is the animal sacrifices and burnt offerings and that all others still stand because Jesus Christ said I change not? What.I can not teach them the penalty for disobedience is the curses of Deuteronomy 28 & Leviticus 26 along with the Great Tribulation and the Day Of The Lord.

This is both funny and sad at the same time. I definitely been in churches like this. Now, I have also been in churches where the pastor pretty much attacked the membership for any sin he could think up (or more commonly, for not paying enough money to the church).
