Hi all. I recently joined this site. Over the years I looked into a few churches, and the worst I've seen is The Potter's House, which I found bizarre. It wasn't until April 2018 I became a committed Christian (Baptist) and aligned my beliefs with Australian Baptists Ministries, which I'm very happy with. I found the church I joined (Crossway) was very transparent, communit

It's a shame but not surprising since Southern Baptists were late to renounce their past mistakes, in 1995, over its racist roots and apologized for its past defence of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.

I don't understand why Popeye12 is being admonished. Please explain. Popeye12's question seems legitimate. A groups beliefs ARE relevant. However, as a note to Popeye12, it isn't very hard to find out a great deal of information regarding the "church" of Wells. On a separate note, who now owns this site?

Dear Amilli... Is there any possible chance that you might know the church the above mentioned pastor is from? His name? The church? Even the area? And, as an encouragement, remember, God has ALL of this, not just some of this, in His righteous right hand! Thank you in advance for any information you might be able to provide. Sincerely, God's Child

Pray the Armor of God (Ephesians 6) over this school and over anyone that comes in contact with them. Outside Observer....you are very astute. Lizabeth Tyler....do NOT even think about engaging with these people. If you do, you open a door to the enemy, in my opinion. The enemy is very cunning, do not forget it. Senhome....you too seem to make some very good points. Pray also that the leadersh

Dear Jimmy, If you are called to help people within the Church of Wells, God will not let you rest until you hear exactly what it is that you are supposed to do. If you aren't certain, just keep praying and asking God for the wisdom to know what it is. And never underestimate the power of your prayers. Pray for everyone there. For the strongholds to be broken. Pray for the leadership

Jimmy, It's fairly simple, in my opinion. Satan happened. Clearly, the commonality is that the evil one, through whatever means, infiltrated the minds of these young ones, and convinced them that their salvation was at stake. I would like to tell you that trying to figure it out is akin to knocking your head against the wall. It is painful, and it doesn't get you anywhere.

Dear Pastor in Missouri, Thank you for your quick response. I understand what you mean now. Question: How can I specifically pray for you today?
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Dear Pastor in Missouri, It is precisely because "you don't get on this site a lot" that you might consider addressing the things that have been specifically addressed to you in the post when you do take the time to come on. It is my understanding that the Church of Wells is not several years old, and yet, you say he has been with them for several years. When you get back on,

Aunt M and jimmy26... You seem to have a very clear grasp of the fact the you need no man's affirmation of your salvation and that you stand before God alone in this matter. It takes me back that Pastor in Missouri seems to have great admiration for this group in light of the fact that elders of the Church of Wells requires so much more "proof" than is necessary by the scrip
