Rick Warren critics over OBAMA told to leave the church...
TownHall ^ | 12.14.2006 | Kevin McCullough

Members of the congregation at Saddleback Church, the church led by Rick Warren, are evidently being ushered right out of membership for voicing any concern over the idea of Barack Obama being allowed to speak at the church recently.

I received a lengthy letter from a member of Saddleback this morning that confirmed as much:

Presumably Warren's employees are doing to these congregants what they told the WSJ they normally do - call the pastor of whatever church these excommunicants wind up joining and advise him that they are troublemakers who should not be welcomed.

The true sign of a meglomaniac pastor (of which there are many). They ostracize members, not for blatant sin or an unwillingness to repent, but for voicing an opposing viewpoint. The pastor of the church we left wouldn't tolerate opposing viewpoints either. He condemned such from the pulpit as a "critical spirit;" not for disagreeing with the Bible or basic teachings of the church, but for having a different opinion from the pastor. In other words, fall in line with Pastor Uber Alles, or leave.

It's rather Scientologist of them, don'tcha think? Just a short distance between "non-denominational church" and "cult".

American Mega Church Christianity probably wouldn't be TOO happy if the REAL Jesus showed up on a Sunday morning with a bull whip. They have been sellin' lots.

From the blog:

It's too bad that these "seeker friendly" churches are actually unfriendly to their own congregation for simply asking the spiritual leadership of the church to be doctrinally strong.

You shall know the truth and the truth will get you kicked out.

Maybe the Dems like to sing 'We are overcome!' these days.

And leave they should, the type of apostate gospel that is promoted in that church is dangerous and a sign of the times.

In this case, the bad smells are in the pulpit!

The pastor I'm referring to is pastor of a Baptist church. "Conservative Baptist" at that.
