On August 28, a CBN News article linked to a letter signed by 70 Christian pastors, including liberal emergent church speakers Brian McLaren and Jim Wallis, and TBN televangelist T.D. Jakes. Since then the list of online signatories has escalated into the hundreds.
The function of the simple, four-paragraph mini-manifesto is to criticize those who dare voice uncertainty about Barack Obamas religious beliefs. Its goal is to urge government-sanctioned media and anyone else who might be listening to deny skeptics equal opportunity to express their views in public.

I don’t question his muslim faith.
Nope. And I haven’t stopped questioning where he was born, either. It would be easy to stop me, though—just show me the birth certificate.
How dare they.
There is no doubt these 70 christian ministers are fools , uninformed, misinformed, ill informed and victims of the progressives malarkey.
Have they ever asked or wondered why he is so popular with moslems?

I don’t have to question his beliefs. His attitude and actions tell me everything I need to know.
ALL EVIDENCE points to obama being a muslim.
The ONLY evidence to the contrary is his word, so one must decide what obama’s word is worth...
His heritage, however, is another matter. If we are to accept that his "birth story" is true, then he is a Muslim by birth, according to the Islamic rules of inheritance.
Therefore, he is either a Muslim, or he is an apostate Muslim -- if he is an apostate, he is one of the worst sort: one who denies his birthright.
Neither possibility is encouraging.
Given the general reception that Muslims around the world have of him, though, it's quite clear that they do not believe he is an apostate.
The only way Obama can possibly not be a Muslim (or Muslim apostate) is if he's lying about his "birth story".
I have no question about his rug prayer faith.
From the letter of the Elison group is this statement that they are asking clergy to sign onto: President Obama has been unwavering in confessing Christ as Lord and has spoken often about the importance of his Christian faith.
Well, according to an interview Obama gave in 2004 when he was a candidate for the Senate and spoke with Cathleen Falsani.
Obama's Fascinating Interview with Cathleen Falsani: Obama's "Christian Faith" In His Own Words
This is Obamas comment showing his unwavering belief in Christ as Lord. Hardly an expression that shows he believes that Jesus is the Son of God as Christians believe:
FALSANI: Who's Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA: Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he's also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he's also a wonderful teacher. I think it's important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
You must read the whole article to see how many other ways Obama waivers from professing a Christian faith. He is far from espousing Christian beliefs or even having the knowledge basic to Christians. He is so into himself, and his own interpretations. It is pitiful that clergy members are rallying behind the "Obama is a Christian," lie. When they all stand at the Pearly Gates they will learn too late that supporting this man and perpetuating his lie has not earned them a place in Heaven
I dont question his muslim faith either. AND when I do it is only long enough to question his citizenship, dedication to commie/socialist doctrine, love of country, plan to decimate our nation etc. (but I digress!!!)
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
This is to be expected in this day and age.
Barack Obama claims he is a “Christian.” There are a group of people that will claim that you cannot “judge” Barack. Commonly the phrase used is “judge not, lest ye be judged.” Scriptures are used to stand behind this position. However, this is one of the biggest lies that is passed amongst the Christian church. In the book written to the Corinthians there is a clear passage that demands you “judge” those within the church. The passage is located in:
1 Corinthians 5:12
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
IF Barack Hussein would claim to be Muslim then the Christian church would have no “jurisdiction” to “judge” him. HOWEVER, because his word of his mouth is claiming to be Christian he has opened his own life to discipline of the Christian church. Every Christian on the planet has the “authority” to go to Barack to judge his public/private behavior! For instance his position on infanticide support with partial birth abortion, pro-homosexuality, etc etc. These positions are all contrary to Christian doctrine and make him subject to being “put out of the church.”
How can a man who who recites the islamic call to prayer in perfect arabic and described it as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset, not be a Muslim?
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
What faith?
The Imam in Pakistan asks O to be the Caliph of all of Islam and we have to question whether they believe he is a Muslim? The Caliph is the top level of all of Islam. If all Muslims including the highest levels in Islam KNOW that he is Muslim how am I to question that?
Anyone who still questions what religion he is has to be totally dillusional
I’ve seen one appears to be from Kenya that is a lot more credible than the one supposedly from Hawaii. Funny but our Savior Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem and no one doubts where he was born, George Bush was born of an American
no one had cause to doubt him
