I did watch the video, and, it seems silly to bring the dog, but I don't think it is that big of a deal. If this is all that can be found in the entire clip that was worthy of posting and commenting, then what is all the controversy? I've seen very little discussion over what the pastors and people actually said and how heretical it is and how it is another gospel. So, maybe I was a bit off in my comments regarding the dog thing, but I did confess to being wrong. Did you not read that post?

K2P,

Before the dog was even brought up in this thread I made these comments. It should concern us all that this church is man-centered not God-centered!

Just like human beings who believe they can make God over in their own image rather than the God of the Bible this is an example of man making the church into a spiritual social club. It becomes a church suited to their needs and comfort level. One that doesn't offend anyone, doesn't demand obedience, doesn't have confessions, doesn't have doctrine, and doesn't have a cross. I hope you can see the distinction.

"Jesus said, "I will build MY Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) This church will have the marks of a true church because He gives her the keys of the kingdom. Namely the faithful preaching of the Gospel, the pure administration of the sacraments, as instituted by Christ; if church discipline is exercised in punishing of sin; in short, if all things are managed according to the pure Word of God and all things contrary rejected.
