Praise the Lord Brothers and Sisters,

I happened to flip to the Trinity Broadcasting Network and saw a 
movie on.  I decided to watch a while.  As the name implies, this is 
a "Trinitarian, Jesus=1/3, JUST BELIEVE AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED!--Oh, 
you sinned and refuse to repent?  Well HALLELUJAH! YOU'RE STILL 
SAVED!!" type evangelical station.  Well, I had seen them baptising 
once and, of course, it was in the name of the Father, the Son, and 
of the Holy Ghost.  (Now, this *name* is Jesus, but they have been 
blinded to this).  Well, I watched the movie that they had produced 
themselves (TBN) and as Paul was baptized, Annanias (Sp?) said "I 
baptize thee, Paul, in the Name of Jesus for the remmission of your 
sins."  How can they preach "easy-believe" and yet show a movie that 
affirms that baptism is in order for the remmission of your sins.  
How can they preach "F, S, HG just as the good book says" and yet 
show a video in which baptism was administered Biblically according 
to the NAME of the one God (Jesus!)?  This experience moved me in so 
much as to show me the terrible condition the "church" (In other 
words, church being any group of people that beleive in Jesus) is in 
today.  When the Bible so clearly teaches something, we choose to 
take the popular belief over God's Word.   Let us pray that God's 
Word reaches these "saved ones" before they are lost forever in a 
burning Hell.  Let us get a burden for our "church-going" neighbors 
who belong to the Baptist, Methodist, 7th Day Avent., Catholic, or 
Mormon church.  Let us even get a burden for our neighbors who 
worship at the "Full-gospel" church down the road.  Yes, that means 
we need a burden for our "AOG, Charasmatic, Charasmatic 
[Pentecostal]" friends for they 'have a form of godliness but deny 
the power thereof.'  May God bless you as you endeavor to preach the 
Word of the One, True and Living God.  AKA JESUS!

I affirm the biblical foundation for a relationship with God: We are 
to turn away from doing wrong, be baptized in the name of Jesus in 
accordance with scriptural examples, receive the marvelous gift of 
the Holy Spirit, and embrace a daily walk with Him. (See Acts 2:38)

God bless you and keep you in His wonderful grace!
