I love Pastor Keith. I subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Sadly, I’ve encountered examples of more than half of these parodied church types on my search for a congregation.

Hey, I kind of liked the Authorized Version church. They were welcoming, and generously provided a garbage can to dispose of any perversion editions...

Just slightly joking. I've heard of these sort of churches before, but I don't believe they exist. Yes, they preach out of the King James version, but people can use what they want. And I like that. It is difficult enough to memorize verses (which is an important practice), but to have someone recite different renditions of the same text, disrupts the data that was previously memorized.
So let people use the text they like, but I much prefer the preached/recited text to remain the same - and the King James has an almost poetic flow to it that is helpful when trying to memorize the passage.

This was way too mild. There are some groups out there that should not even be called “churches”, because they are so messed up. For example:

Over-ecumenized, “If people somewhere worshiped it in the past or today, *it is just as good* as Christianity”. This includes pagan religions.

Sex churches. Simply covers for prostitution rings.

Drug churches. With few exceptions, illegal drugs are not sacraments, and if they are, not for white or black people.

Whatever-the-leftist-fad-of-the-minute-churches. The purpose of a church is faith in God, not leftist politics. And this is a big one, since leftists have caused schisms in most churches in the US.

etc., ad nauseum

I can no longer find a church that holds communion every week. At most it’s once/month. Sometimes once/quarter. Sometimes just on the whim of the pastor.
