Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 32: Most pastors, teachers and authors that have penetrated your christianity are not New Testament christians. The Bible they claim to revere is not their standard (guide).

The cleric you happen upon on television or a podcast wearing an embellished robe and bright cap may be a kind, well-intentioned christian, but you can instantly conclude that he is not a New Testament christian. Why? Simply because the New Testament gives no such precedent regarding his costume. Likewise….

Culturalized evangelical pastors are easily identifiable; their speech and lifestyle, incomparable to New Testament writings, give them away. Of most importance to you: It was culturalized leadership that shaped you into a culturalized evangelical. Please note: Culturalized christians will not do well at the upcoming judgment seat of Christ!

New Testament christians are also easily identifiable. They speak Christ, abide in Christ, emulate Christ, serve Christ, worship Christ, preach Christ. Such christians are rare. Never would they call a brother Pastor or Reverend or Whatever. Never would they submit to religious “commandments of men”. Never would they allow themselves to be institutionalized. And never, never, never would they surrender a tenth of their income to the custody of salaried, culturalized religionists!
