The Exvangelicals Are Here... 

Cultural Christianity is not Bible Believing Christianity. It's sad so many people stay deceived...

That was almost me. I was fake saved at 8. I would have burned in hell had I not listened to the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. I was born again at 28 when I listened to some friends and actually studied the King James Bible. Very condensed Version of my testimony. Praise Jesus

It is not hard to leave someone you never had a relationship with in the first place.

Sadly two of my children are among the casualty. My son attended bible school and was raised in a home where I was the Christian, but daddy talked the talk, but didn't walk the talk. It's a growing trend that frightens me. Please pray for my children and the tens of thousands who've abandoned the faith.

For all denominations, false conversions are a huge part of the problem, and no one seems to notice. I was “saved” as a young child but I obviously wasn’t truly saved. Thankfully God saw fit to save a wretched sinner like me in my late twenties. Pray hard for the so-called prodigals. Most of us were never really saved. Some truly were converted at a young age but many of us just believed what we were taught but never had a relationship with Jesus.

You are right. You can't be saved without conviction of sin and a broken spirit. What 2 year old is able to contemplate their sin?

I don't even have any memory at all when I was 2 years old let alone know if I would have been saved. But praise the Lord i have a wonderful memory of getting saved at 28 i love to tell anyone who will listen about it. Thank You Jesus.

I went for an altar call at 11 and still did not truly have a conversion. Grew up in demonic family. I was not truly saved until much later. Must be outward evidence of heart change. Jesus is made LORD! This is very sad for so many!😢

1 John 2:19 CSB They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.

When I was 7, my dad told me the gospel and led me through the sinner's prayer and I got baptized, but despite that, by my teen years I ended up turning into the most wicked hellish immoral satanic person I ever met. 2 more times afterward went through the cycle of praying the same prayer hundreds of times trying to "repent" only to spiral back into the hell I came from after 2 years. Moral of the story: There is no magic prayer or secret saying that can save you.

Full disclosure: I often refer to myself as an "exvangelical" because as a confessional Lutheran I distance myself from the horrible trends infiltrating much of American Christianity.

Deconstructing is the new buzzword and this sounds the same.

How does a 2 year old know the difference between right and wrong?????

We have “exvangelicals” because they were never born again, never spiritually regenerated and redeemed to begin with. We have a bunch of people in the “church” who deny the power of the ßIood of Christ to “save to the uttermost”, holding to the unbiblical belief that one can “lose” their sáIvation, because they are not able to spiritually discern the difference between someone who is spiritually REBORN and regenerated, indwelled AND SEALED by the Holy Spirit, and someone who isn’t, who is just a false convert. Just because a person says they’re a Christian doesn’t make it so, and I get that from scripture, as Jesus says that we will know who is truly born again from above by the fruits they bear. If a person is not indwelled and sealed by the Holy Spirit, they will NOT persevere in the faith, because the Holy Spirit tells us that through the apostle John who said of a particular group of the early Church, which turns out to be a reference to the Gnòstics who denied the deity of Christ, and that He had come in the flesh, saying “they went out from among us because they were never of us”. So, they departed from the faith because they were never Christ’s to begin with, as Romans 8 says anyone who is not born again is none of Christ’s. A person who is born again will not go off into apostasy, nor will they denounce their faith in Christ and the written Word of God, because they have the Holy Spirit guiding them. Can a born again person backslide into sìn? Of course they can, but they won’t remain in it for long, because the Holy Spirit is going to give them no peace, because they are grieving Him. Scripture tells us not to grieve the Holy Spirit, and if we are walking outside of God’s will, we will grieve Him. It’s vital for us believers in Christ to know God’s Word, to read it ourselves, to know what we should be upholding as truth. Jesus says if the scriptures aren’t our foundation, we’re built on shifting sand, and we’ll be blown to and fro by every wind of false doctrine. We have to have God’s Word as a firm foundation to have unshakable faith. How does a 2 year old understand the concept of sìn in order to be moved by the gospel, and brought to repentance and faith in Christ? They CAN’T. They can’t even read God’s Word to understand what the Law is, and that sìn is breaking the Law. And I notice she read Christian books, but how about the scriptures? Considering she doesn’t know that one must have a knowledge of sìn to be convicted to repentance and drawn to Christ by the preaching of the gospel suggests that she doesn’t know the scriptures. How can you know God without knowing His Word, since He reveals Himself to us in His Word? Do you know 70% of evangelicals deny the deity of Christ? They’re lost. What you do to Christ, you have done to the Father. I read a comment from a “believer” recently that said Jesus Christ is anti SEM !tic. Jesus, a J E W from the tribe of Judah. The King of the J E W S. How many other so called believers don’t know Jesus Christ is a J E W according to His human nature? With what’s going on in the Middle East, I’ve seen a disturbing trend of biblically uneducated “Christians” who actually believe that lshmaeI was the son of the promise given to Abraham, and that the covenant blessings of YHVH are for the lshmaeIites, the A R A ß S, not the J E W S, even though scripture identifies the lshmaeIites, known by the 🌙 symbol of their dèmon “god”, as the enemŷ of YHVH and lsraeI. This is why we need to know the scriptures.

Yep. This is extremely sad! I meet very few professing Christians that can tell me why they are certain they are saved. Most claim it’s because of something they did, utterly failing to understand that it’s what Christ alone did for them. 😢

When I was on the board of regents at Y.C.I.B.I. COLLEGE , a fellow board member was part of N.P.R. they were soon pushed out of N.P.R. because of there Christian beliefs.

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.” - Mark Twain Exvangelicals deserve so much love and respect. As Twain observed, this is an incredibly painful and angering experience for them to leave the cult they were raised in. We welcome them into secular culture exactly as they are, and they are invaluable with helping others on the same journey.

Many moons ago when I was an early teen, people my age were getting baptized. My mother said no. She said not to do that until I fully understood the ramifications of what I was about to do. I was 44 when I finally made that choice, even though I had believed my whole life.

Amen good video Spencer! No salvation to start with! The story of the pig is Scriptual and it was me! Thought I was saved at 8 yrs. old. Lived 30 years thinking I was saved. Got under True preaching and the Lord convicted me and showed me I was lost! This poor girl did exactly what you said-mishandled her soul! Praying that she will truly get born again! Thank you Spencer please keep preaching it! The world needs to hear this Truth! So many are deconstructing something they never had!

It’s interesting watching people who believe the secrets of the universe are in a book with talking snakes and talking donkeys cope with reality. It’s time to engage reality on its own terms.

Not every saved Christian knows exactly when the moment of their salvation happened. I am one of those Christians. I do not remember a moment that I did not believe in Jesus and the words written in my Bible. Words I did not understand, but still knew they were true. Being raised in a church that believed you must be Baptized, I have in the past claimed that date as my day of salvation, when pressed to give my age and where I was saved. But I felt a strong conviction when I did that. Because I knew in my heart that was not true. the day and moment of my Baptism was a special and wonderful experience that I cherishes so much so that I refuse to be Baptized again. Some churches require that to join their church. But to me, doing it again feels like my first Baptism wasn’t good enough. The Lord assures me that it was and that is all that matters. Same with my salvation. And in spite of the fact that my testimony of my salvation is so subtle and nondramatic that I do not even know the second it happened, the Lord assures me that I am His. And that is good enough.

Following people, not God. I love teachers, preachers but it is a personal journey with Jesus. A relationship.

Sad to see... Many kids are told by their church/parents that they got saved at a very young age. They have zero memory of the experience but go their whole life thinking they are saved because someone in authority told them they got saved when they were younger. Very sad...

Everyone must see that they are sinners. When you grow into maturity, and you have grown up in a Evangelical church, you should know what living a life of sin is about. Unless the church has stopped talking about sin today. Growing up in the 1980s, My Evangelical church talked about sin and taught us about cults, back then. We were warned every Sunday morning and every Wednesday night of sin and taught about repentance. I grew into adulthood and never forgot what I learned at 12. My walk wasn't perfect by any means. I actually backslid more than a few times. But by the time reached my 30s, I was worn out by living in sin. I was broken. That is where you need to be. But God never gives up on those prodigals. He welcomes us back with open arms. But we must obey God and listen. He doesn't want us to return to the life of sin, we left.

I was very young when I accepted Jesus as my savior. I remember being in bed one night and calling my mom in the room. I felt a need to ask Jesus into my heart, and I asked my mom to pray with me. I can't remember a time without Jesus. I can't tell you the exact date, but I remember feeling that I was a sinner and needed Jesus. From what my mom has told me, I was 5 years old when that happened. Children can absolutely be saved. I just feel like as parents we can't just sit back and think we've made it, and we're in the clear when a young child says they've accepted Christ. As parents, we still have to be diligent and use discernment.

Evangelical churches are just as permissive as nar and new age. They are just more sublte about it. If it's not in the bible, it doesn't belong in the church.

Your videos are truly some of the best when it comes to discernment and articulating in a short and sweet way why something is unbiblical.

Walked the isle @ 5 yrs & was baptised (IFB church) I did it after hearing a sermon on fire and brimstone, I scared out of my lil mind. Later at age 16 I had a cousin and my dad to die and so made me think about death & hereafter, Jimmy Swaggart was just starting out on tv back then, had a 30 min Sat Nite program on tv, attended same IFB church, went to a revival @ my Aunts SBC church and was convicted of my sin and my predicament and repented and asked Jesus to come live in my heart . I'm 62 now, over the years I have wondered can a person be saved @ 5 yrs old? All I know for sure is that @ 16 I committed to Christ w more knowledge. A basic knowledge @ that time. And have been studying to show myself approved ever since.

I appreciate what you do to defend the Faith, brother.

i like most christians struggle with sin and then i ask for forgiveness and repent and turn back to god by his grace alone. i struggle with the sadness and chatter in my head from the accuser, but by gods grace im allowed to keep walking with the lord. it usually take a few days to get the joy back as im also under gods gracious chastening. praise god for romans8, phil1:6&1peter1:5 or all hope is lost.

Ive never heard of this to be honest! Tracey Burroughs from South Africa 🇿🇦 watching this video.

Seems to me a disproportionate number of these "deconstructing" 20-somethings whose stories I see on RU-vid are kids who were raised in "seeker-sensitive"/"Word of Faith"/"Rock and Roll spectacle" churches. (But, it's not a phenomenon unique to those churches. I grew up in an Anabaptist Church of The Brethren background and still followed a similar path for most of my life until lately, as, in my 20's, I found their emphasis on unyielding pacifism very destructive to my mother and myself, as my father was a narcissist...who deceived and married my mom in large part because he could totally dominate and control her because of her "God wants you to save evil doers by being a door mat for evildoers" pacifistic faith...that she imparted to me, that is a lie and does not work.) They grow up, naturally start questioning and suddenly discover their churches have not been honest with them nor properly prepared them scripturally for the REAL trials of adult life. So, they throw themselves out with the bathwater, leave Christianity altogether, and begin searching elsewhere, OFTEN LEADING THEM INTO THE OCCULT AND OTHER EVEN MORE FALSE FAITHS. I've done it and seen it over and over and over again....and yet most churches are STILL unaware it's been happening within their walls for over 50 years! No wonder the Western world has gone so far astray in such a very short time. Breaks my heart, as I've been there and back. It was hell, literally. Love, rationality, responsibility and SOLA SCRIPTURA needs to once again become the churches' battle cry. But, sadly. many such churches still see no need to return to it, despite their declining attendances.

Thank you for your comment about we aren’t voting for a pastor. We can believe someone can be a good president anyway. I wasn’t even going to vote this election because I am not a fan of either candidate.

Thank you so much for doing coverage on this eye-opening topic, Spencer. I very much appreciate this channel and your Biblical insights.

Spencer, how do we deal with the people in our life who grew up in the Faith and left? Particularly if they are now hostile to the Faith? Do we keep trying to "woo them back" or move on from that friendship? Does the Bible inform us on this issue?

My youngest son was saved at 6. I hope he is really saved. He had been asking questions for a long time and one night at church he looked at me and said, “I feel like I want to get saved.” So we went up front and the pastor prayed with him. Not that that’s the most important thing. It’s the change in your heart. But then my son questioned me and asked why the pastor didn’t show him in the Bible like he did everyone else. I have no idea except maybe he thought he couldn’t read that well yet. It took a couple of years to get him baptized as he was afraid of being dunked. But his sister who is 2 years younger than he is wanted to be baptized also. I didn’t have any time when I knew she went to the altar but she said she was saved one day when the preacher talked about it and she was sitting up front with his wife. So we went with that. We can’t question the heart of a sincere child. I think they understand and hope they are both saved. I was saved at 9. But I tend to question my salvation as I haven’t always lived like I should. However, I have always felt convicted. And I remember the day I was saved. I have never felt such joy bubbling out of me. My mom (rip) used to tell the story of being a little girl and some other little girl who shouted all over the church. She and her friend wanted to be like that little girl and would go to the altar and try to cry and pray. But I think Mama said she didn’t really get saved until she was 9. I also remember my great aunt telling me (she didn’t attend church due to something that happened when she was young and that’s a different story) when I went to revival with my uncle that if anyone tried to get me to go up front to not go. She knew that I would be a false conversion as I wasn’t old enough to understand yet. She always talked to me about the Bible and the end times and I appreciate that. She knew the Bible well and was a Christian. In her latter years she did find a church she could attend. Sorry for the long comment

I came out of the Lutheran church, and I'll give you an example of the heresy of infant baptism. Our community was mostly Latino, and so couples would visit to have their babies baptized. The church required they attend weeks in class and attend church, otherwise the "pastor" wouldn't perform the ceremony. Can you guess what happened? As soon as their baby was baptized you never saw them again. The reason being, they believed this was some magical ceremony that saved their baby, and made them believe they did their duty before God. An absolute sham! I'm an exvangelical, I joined the "cult" of being Born Again.

What a truly horrific story about someone who thinks she is a believer and is lost and headed to a Christless eternity in Hell. It is for that reason that I truly believe folks who deceive will have a greater judgment. The great news about the Mighty and only True God is that He can still save this lost young lady before it is too late. Let us pray to that end.

Ok Br. Smith... THE MOST important line out of any video God's given you to do, timeline sec. 7:10 to 7:30 are the biggest. Hands down. Brother

That's why these folks were never saved filled with the Holy Spirit it's a mission field in its self oh Jesus help us to reach them.

It's impossible to get saved at age 2.

I've worked at multiple places over the past decade and 90% of those in their 20's & 30's who asked me bible related questions shared their experiences growing up in church...it's always been the pastor, elder, youth leader, ect. that gave a dumb answer due to their own ignorance, or negative treatment, usually in their teens that turned them away...very hard for them to help heal decades of harden scares.

I was trained so well, that i didn't know i wasn't saved!! "Fumbled a child!" Yes, that is the best way to say it!!

Being a 21st cent christian and a medieval monk and a 1st cent christian fighting lions in Rome are all Different

I liked the choice of words, fumbled. That is so sad. I tell my children about Jesus, and trust that in due time the Holy Spirit will draw them like He drew me. I refuse to let anyone have them repeat a prayer or talk them into making a "decision" I want to see them get born again and will make every effort to ensure they hear God's word preached in power, authority AND love. The truth in love is so important.

There was a point to what Moses was doing. Did Moses tell everybody a burning bush talked to him? I doubt it. Did Moses go year after year spreading a useless message and promising everything that felt good? Nope Did Moses's warnings about punishment come true ? Yes Did Moses preach repentance and obedience and warn them? Yes Were the people fed manna and kept warm at night and shaded in the day? Yes Were the Israelites protected from the plagues? Were they rescued from slavery? Did the sea actually part? Yes, yes, and yes. Moses knew the Lord for real. No comparison to the false prophets of today with their laughing and stories of astral projection and empty promises, false signs and wonders, wild stories, blasphemy, disrespect for the Holy Spirit and begging for money.

I was saved at the age of about 11 and I am very thankful for that. Not sure how I would have comprehended everything at the age of 7, let alone 2!

Imo the problem is this: People claim to be saved but never really understood the true gospel. One has to accept they are a sinner, that it is Jesus paid the penalty death , burial and resurrection and that HE IS THE ONLY WAY to eternal life and place their faith in Him. So many claim the title Christian but can’t even explain the way of salvation to people , such as this young lady couldn’t do to her Muslim friend. This is why I believe there are so many false converts. If they can’t profess Christ in who He is and what he did then they are likely not born again.

I believe Candice Owens is doing something similar. She is questioning her faith as well. Of course, she is married to a Catholic, and he is playing a big part in that. I saw a sort of debate between her husband and Allie Beth Stuckey where she mentions this . The "debate " left a lot to be desired because Allie was too nice and didn't push back too much.

"They went out from us ...but were not of us"....She was probably never saved. My wife and I visited a number of churches looking for a good one. Result? 0 NO Gospel. The one "church" baptized ..it was around 20 people or so....many of them were toddlers! We had gone there two or three times and all they did was talk about the military and about this upcoming " baptism".....we had heard NO Gospel message there, yet, in front of us were mere babies acting like they were performing at the Christmas pageant. There were also a number of adults who I believe were clueless as well. It was truly sad. False converts ...many of them...I would hazard a guess that they were all false converts who sat under false teachers.

Too many Christian parents tend to isolate their children rather than ‘inoculating’ them against the disease of false doctrine.

Amen amén Good bless you

It's ridiculous to say that children are " saved " at 2 or 3 or 10. Children are under the guardianship of their parents whose job it is to guide them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. There is no mention in the bible of children being baptized, only men and women which are capable of making such decisions. People of different faiths will be judged according to what is in their hearts. God knows your heart.

There is nothing wrong with questioning, the problem arises when secularists give the answers

She is a victim of the modern church. So sad.

Do the exvangelicals still use the "baby fundy" voice? LOL!

Have you seen a book called 'Pagan Christianity' (published in 2008)? I have a friend who read it and now refuses to be a part of a local Church because all Churches "are doing Church wrong"... I've skimmed the book to try and see why they came to the conclusion they have and it's a mess. Just wondering if you could possibly review it and maybe help some people who are struggling with it. Thanks for your videos Spencer.

Child like faith yes, baby faith doesn’t exist.

Thank you brother

Ima make me a new movement in honour of the unmolested Word, Excessasionists.

These stories of false conversion, and the details on what direction these people eventually end up going in... Always hair-raising.

Me and my wife have talked about children that are super young saying they were saved. And I mean not only like 5 and younger but those that are like 7 or 8 etc. it’s hard to believe that children that young understand the gospel. I know every person matures differently but it’s hard to believe children that young truly understand the cost of following Jesus. We see children at our church being baptized quite often and I just can’t help been think that they truly don’t comprehend what they are doing. Sometimes I wonder if the parents are pushing it on them.

Amen preacher

Though they went out from us, they are not of us.

People sometimes see they are in a madhouse. This man hits you up for money

I once heard that "hypocrites create atheists." As Romans 2 explains (paraphrasing here) that the name of God is blasphemed because of hypocrisy (saying one thing yet doing another). And Jesus warned of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy. For they knew the scriptures, but their heart was in rebellion to the word and authority of God. I don't blame the rebellion of anyone who has been taught about Jesus by hypocrites. Though they have heard lots and lots of biblical information, they simply have not heard the truth spoken by someone in whom Christ dwells. They have never heard the testimony of Jesus, revealed by the Holy Spirit. Once they do hear, then they will have the opportunity to repent and believe, or reject and cling to their sin/unbelief. For most everybody in the world this has yet to happen. For what exists today is really nothing but those who have come in their own name, preaching secondhand information about Jesus yet not walking as He walked.

1 John 2:19

They never knew Him.

Wow two years old 😳 hmm . I remember swallowing a marble at three. I remember the furnace vent blowing out heat and falling asleep on it at three ( By the way best nap I ever had). I remember looking out a window in a house in Georgia at a bird at three. Knowing I was going to Hell if I didn't get saved at three no didn't understand that at all and my dad was a Preacher.

I reactivated or started my twitter to promote my youtube channel, but that place is a black hole. So far, it looks like it's just a continuous, unwinnable contest to be the smartest and the meanest.

12:00-12:20, here! Here!

Came for the No True Scotsman fallacy and was not disappointed. 😉

Romans 10:9-10 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Some kids believe in santa claus still at age 8. I have evangelized many baptists that became atheists and hate Jesus. One bad thing happens in their life and they hate God.

I’m 29 and don’t think I’ve ever felt conviction over sin so maybe Jesus never gave two flips about me. I have no purpose.

Rhett and Link on Good Mythical Morning push this stuff hard on their youtube podcast Ear Biscuits. They have almost 20 million subscribers. They are De-construction pushers.Rhett wrote an album of exvangelical songs.

But i also believe its the lack of the knowledge of the doctrine the gospel , and thats how you start questioning when a muslim or an occultist put you in a corner , and how you get caught in false churches , the lack of knowledge of the gospel

Sounds like she came out of one of those groups that believed in Dominion or Reconstruction Theology.

She a Judas in the church, not Saved, Their are many Actors ,Pretenders in the Church today? I can't tell, only the Lord knows People Hearts, like Judas Betrayed Jesús? Jesus knew he wasn't Saved?

...and Franklin Graham is still pumping out commercials telling people that if they repeat a canned prayer they're saved 😑

I have a problem with Pentecostals. They're so far left and liberal. It's unbelievable

I thought the Bible said to train a child up right and they wouldn't depart. But Here we have exvangelials that were trained up right, but they're rejecting both Santa Clause and Jesus. Something is backfiring.

I consider myself an ex-Evengelical also only because now I'm Reformed. 👍👍👍

Could you review some of Philip Clancy's books and beliefs?

Learned something new today

Most disturbing testimony I ever heard as a deacon was a man who talked about 10 minutes. Less than a minute was about salvation at a young age and never really was "all that bad." The rest of the time was about how he always wanted a hobby farm and that's how he ended up at this church. I questioned the testimony, and everyone in the room including the other deacons looked at me as if I had just farted at the Thanksgiving table....unreal.

Instead of saying, this woman isn’t saved because of the words, she said, we should be comparing with the word that our Lord says. My sheep hear my voice I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 9 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

John 17:20-23

My old pastor, Pete Briscoe, is a part of this movement. So disappointing 😢 He has a new podcast and quoting his mentor a Buddhist

My first time hearing of this term was Kevin Max mentioning it in his fan group. And sadly he came out as a full blown heretic a few years ago.

Hey Spencer! love you buddy ❤

Unfortunately, you didn't want to work hard enough to actually read the author's book, so you proceeded to make a lot of assumptions that simply aren't true. She did not "lack the gumption" to stand by her faith. She spent years studying and memorizing all of the arguments for young-earth creationism and argued for it. When she went to Washington at 17 as a Senate Intern (in order to work for a 'Christian Nation'), she didn't participate in any of the sins of young people who leave home and don't believe. She didn't kiss a boy till she was 21, and then it was a boy who was determined, like her, to practice "courtship", she then married him and stayed, faithfully, married to him for the next 16 years. This is not a weak-minded young person who simply fell into whatever the crowd was following. You claim she never got saved, because she had her first experience with God at 2 years old. You didn't read her book to see the many experiences she had with God throughout her youth. You say that she wasn't truly saved, but by this definition no one is saved. Sincerely believing in Christ, turning her life over to him as Lord and Savior, living the life of a Christian, none of it is enough for you if she dares question any of the doctrines that you proclaim is Christian. Your response, like the response of many of my fellow believers in Christ, is lazy and dishonest. In this, you do not follow Christ, you follow the Prince of Lies. Instead of answer the questions of young people, you insult them, and cast them out. The reason that you don't answer their questions, is because you can't. The church, today, is indefensible. The criticisms in her book are not, mostly, criticisms of Christ or the scriptures, but rather a criticism of how that original faith has been corrupted over the last 50 years to support a political party that is neither Christian nor even moral. Her experience of republicans in Congress in the '90's was not how holy and pure the party was, but rather how the underage girls had to be warned away from Strom Thurmond because he was a well-known pedophile. No "Christians" held him accountable for this, of course, because he was "for a Christian Nation". But the current apostle and high priest of the evangelical profession, Trump, makes Strom Thurmond look like a holy man. If you would bother to actually listen to the exvangelicals, instead of excoriating them, you might find out that they are saying the same thing that Jude said. Certain men have crept in unawares and turned the faith of God into the doctrines of devils, denying even the Lord that bought them. In the '90's I was heavily involved the Christian Conservative movement. I was in a personal conversation with Senator Inhofe when Congressmen Steve Largent walked by and they greeted each other with "Keep Doing The Lord's Work". I knew many of the leaders of the movement and was in small group settings with the others. After a few years it became obvious that the "Christian" leaders in D.C. are nothing of the sort. They are not interested in any of the things that they say in public. They openly talk and laugh about how they fool Christians into giving them money, support, and votes. Lauren Boebert can get high at a Beetlejuice performance and commit public fornication, but she will still get your vote. Donald Trump can promise to seduce your wife and you will continue your idolatry of him. The Evangelical and Fundamentalist men of today are a far cry from the meek, loving, and sincere preachers of my parent's youth. These churches, today, are led by the wolves who prey on the sheep, not by the Good Shepherd. It is no wonder than we are losing the most thoughtful and intelligent young people to unbelief. Satan's greatest throne is not at the DNC, but behind the pulpit at church.

Never heard about this .why are people giving names or labels on everything

I question anyone that says they are saved before the age of 10 at the most. I dont even have any memories before the age of 6. Before first grade I can remember nothing. My point is someone that young is barely conscious. How can you count the cost and kneel before Christ in that state?

What is your opinion on the Orthodox Church?

the evangelical theology is evil though

How do I know if I'm saved?

....seems to emphasize the need for discipleship...not just a profession and or Sunday school..

Maybe not as many people are going up as we think. Is there a special crown for those who were "saved" at 6 months? 😊 Remember asking for a show of hands who is saved when you have a guest with you who is not a Christian. They may not come back. (The spotlight is on you! 😐) Let them feel welcome. Maybe go back to the basics, what is Salvation?

What right have you got to judge. I’m an English evangelical with a small e but I believe that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Just because you are an American evangelical doesn’t mean your better than other Christians
