    Well the essentials are mentioned there. If they deny them then that is one thing but as I have not been there I do not know. But if you think that church is bad get a load of this one.

    I'd agree. They have all the right elements listed in their statement of faith, but they strive to "share God's love through giving and serving"

    There's a church in my area just like that, where they're doing a lot of good stuff, and hoping that people will "connect" with Christ thru serving and giving. But they don't preach the cross to unbelievers.

    But here's some works they teach that John will like, from their statement of faith:

    I hope there isn't even one unbeliever who reads that garbage and believes it.

    Thank you James. I missed that line. Thats works based salvation. Perhaps I should send them a letter but I am trying to decide which of these I should contact in love.

    The Osteen clone church looks like a real Christian church, yet teaches works based salvation. This one may line more up with the false teachers in the book of Jude than the ones above so they would be my target, especially over the New Age Church that is FAR FAR out there there that even Catholics can see a problem.

    As opposed to "God led."

    Think he needs to repent.

    childish...isn't there some rule about posting rabbit pictures? If not, there should be. I did like the rabbi one, though (let's not rule out rabbi pictures).

    I was going to post one of a donkey. After thinking about it, I thought that it might be misunderstood.

    He is teaching a Gospel of self esteem and feeling good, a new rehash of Robert Schuller...

    You can get him now on XM radio, as for only 5.99 each month, as he now has his pwn seperate radio network on it!
