Pilgrim said: I am automatically suspect of ANY person and/or group that uses such phrases as "a personal relationship with Jesus Christ". Such a phrase nor its emphasis is to be found in Scripture. It's the typical, "all too familiar relationship with God" mentality found and promoted today, particularly among "Evan-jelly-cals". And lastly, the fact that this group has a "praise and worship" meeting shows that it has embraced the "contemporary worship" heresy, which too is so popular today and is contrary to the manner in which God would be worshipped.
The bottom line, in case you couldn't guess <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> is that I would be looking elsewhere to use my talents for the cause of God and truth. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Amen, brother. Well analyzed, as always.
