I too have been taking a stand agaist false teachers, I didn't know it was as bad as it is though. I just responded to what the Holy Spirit put on my heart to teach, then I came your videos & others & I was excited that I was on the going in the right direction, but grieved that it is the way it is. I have only touched on the gospel of greed & the sinners prayer being a mean for salvation. Recnetly I touched on the subject of Christmas & people treated me like I was a false teacher. I only brought up the fact that december 25th was not our Lords birthday, they didnt give gifts to each other, but to him & not because it was his b-day, but because he was the Messiah, I challenged everyone to do some research & ask themselves does santa claus, christmas trees, mistle toes, jingle bells & frosty the snow man really belong in our worship to God. They labeld me as a legalistic peson & wouldn't allow me to preach at an outreach. I told people that this is the time of the year when the crime rate & suicides goes up the most, someone needs to pull people away from christmas the tradition & point them to Christ the Lord. I don't know if this has ever been a concern to you, but if you have any advice I would love to hear it, because i'm sure i will have to deal with this again next year. Thaks for reading & God Bless Ya! carlosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
