“Pastors are there for Spiritual Guidance, not Spiritual Dictatorship”
I agree 👍👍👍

Confusing people: making people to think that Serving the building of the church is what God wants.
But God wants believers to serve the whole body of Christ and as well as to share the gospel not just on Sunday’s inside a building but to take the church to the outside world. That is actually doing God’s will.

I was attending a church for 8 months and I spoke to someone in the church about becoming a member. They sat me down with the pastor, who told me that I had to sign an application and I needed references from my previous pastors I used to attend. Then, I would have to be interviewed by the leader of the woman's group to see if I was qualified to be a member of the church. I also requested to have a prayer group in my home. The person in charge of that told me they had other people more important than me that needed the home prayer group. Never again had I stepped in that church again nor recommended anyone to go there. They were a joke, rude and disrespectful, not humbled at all.

Being a pastor myself I believe THESE CAUTIONS are absolutely necessary. Thanx David

We need to serve the Lord outside the church building! Jesus said go out into the world!

I'm a wondring Christian now 😢, i don't want to go church anymore. My deepest desires is to deepen my relationship with Jesus my Savior ✝️❤️ and i think that's all that matters.

I also was part of a church with 90% of the red flags shared in this video.

When I started seeing these red flags, I had doubts about continuing to be a member of the church. One day, the Pastor when preaching his sermon, told a story of a member who left the church, and is now suffering, and how he is begging on the street, and has been afflicted by diseases.

And his summary of the story of the story was that members should never think of leaving his Church, because that’s where God wants them to be planted. That’s the point I knew I had to leave the church.

This describes Lighthouse/Mustard Seed/First Love Church perfectly. Ephesians 5:11. Well done David!

I just left the church where I was born again, not out of church hurt, but for they were cult-like. I was an infant in the Spirit, but I felt there was something wrong, but I remained there. I had a sense that the Pastor, and leadership were crossing certain boundaries, but I overlooked it because I didn't wanted to seem rebelious. The moment I was told by a "mentor" that I have to change careers because I was going to get lost in it, I bolted out of there; I work in TV/Film production by the way. The whole experience was sad and unfortunate. However, that didn't deter me from continuing my walk with the Lord. That made me seek Him more with a new refreshed intensity, but I still have no church to go to.

I Love the Church, The Body of Christ, the Body of True Believers!!!

[godswoman]

I've been hurt by "the church" many times and got to a place where I was fearful of church people. Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart that I must forgive for not everyone in the church hurt me, just a few. We are a body and each member needs all the other members to be a whole, healthy body. So I stepped out in faith and Im on my journey to restoration and healing. Hallelujah
THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!!

[DTrainsWife]

Exactly all of the above plus…
-told not to read spiritual books without pastors permission

- rebuked and corrected by name in front of other members even from the pulpit.

- anyone who left was shunned and the pastors said they would be cursed and the pastors said it as if they were happy/excited about he curse

I’m so glad we got out of there! It took many years to recover from the trauma.

[serenabrownfield]

I'm praying I can receive this WHOLE ENTIRE WORD. After ten years, I am still dealing with the guilt of being in a church like THIS. ALL OF IT. I love God. ❤ Set me free, totally, completely, Lord. Heal ME. I'm 33. I joined at 19, learned a lot. It set a foundation for me, taught me to seek God. I was afraid for YEARS and still am to seek God completely and totally after leaving after all this time. 😢 Pray for me.

[ceciliabadillo]

I was saved in 2004,
I’ve only had one church where I’ve been taught to love God, love the Word and love serving Christ !love prayer, love His bride throughout the world !!! I’m so thankful to God for my church family!!!

[geoswk]

I love the Church preaching accordingly to scripture in the Bible.

[jalissalabria]

JESUS CHRIST! Everyone kept telling me I was in a cult, I’m taking this to prayer . 🙏🏾

[sajivrgis]

We left the Church that we attended for 22 years for the above reasons. Thank you for the information.

[cdpyouth]

As a church planter and lead pastor I thank you for this video..sobering and holds us accountable.

[rubyking]

I used to attend 3 different Pentecostal churches with my grandma, one said you can’t work sundays and Thursday during church hours, sec one a family member spread rumors about me and why I’m not worthy of god. I now attend a great church who are so accepting and willing to help people get closer toGod, and mentor but not control
