Unsaved Unwelcome, Even on Easter Sunday! -

How Do Folks Get Saved If They Are Not Permitted to Attend Our Church?
Unsaved Unwelcome, Even on Easter Sunday!
If an unsaved person thinks they can spend the whole year having fun at God's expense and tiptoe into our Bible believing church on Easter Sunday morning thinking that everything is just a-ok with Jesus, they are in for a big surprise! If our Deacons don't smack 'em upside their hell bound heads, they'll at least call the police and have them arrested for trespassing and trying to break an entering into God's Holy House! Praise Jesus! Friends, You and I both know that modernism has crept into almost every single church in this country except for ours. We put our foot down in 1952 and said NO! to the foolish modern idea of allowing the enemies of the cross - the unsaved - to fellowship with us. It's unbiblical, anti-Christian, and downright dangerous to allow unsaved people into God's house. God doesn't allow it in Heaven, and as it is in Heaven, SO BE IT ON EARTH! Amen!"
You know that there is usually a barrage of unsaved people who just happen to have a change of heart on Easter Sunday or Christmas Eve. Millions of them try to hippety-hop under the radar through the front doors of America's churches, thinking we won't notice. Well, I've got to tell you good folks, I find it laughable that these disgusting people start feeling guilty around Easter and Christmas. They should be feel guilt every single day of the year, every hour, every minute, every second of their lives! Because they are worthless, wretched sinners! Enemies of this church, and working full time for Satan. I don't know how many times I've got to say it folks, church is a members only club! If you didn't sell your soul to Jesus for a ticket, you will be turned away at the door! Praise the sweet name of Jesus! We're all soaked from head to toe in His precious blood! And we need to drink it up without interruption!
As it stands now, if a person gets saved and wants to attend Landover Baptist, there is a 3-year waiting list. Every church service is completely booked. Kathryn Hargraves, manager of the Landover Baptist Tickets for Tithe Center says we're sold out! Sold out for Jesus! All seven chapels, all four Sunday services, all Wednesday evening services, everything - is SOLD OUT! Mrs. Hargraves also informed me that the waiting list to see me walk up to this pulpit and yap away at you folks for 3-hours every Sunday morning is booked solid with standing room only for 7-years. It ain't my looks folks, although some of you ladies there in the front row might beg to differ - it's the Lord Jesus that makes me so popular. And I give Him the glory, and thank him always for the privilege to get up here and speak to my people each Sunday and to drive off to minister in my Mercedes after each service is over! Do you folks realize the statistics here? I'm told there are 5-thousand seats, 585 folding chairs, three-hundred standing room spaces in the back, and the 2.5-thousand parking spaces for the jumbo-tron outdoor chapel where this service is being broadcast as I speak before you now." Mrs. Hargraves told me that it would be almost humanly impossible for an unsaved person to attend church at any of our Landover Baptist facilities. Even if they got saved today, they would have to go through the 2-year background check, and complete all of the mandatory paperwork (which could take another year) and by that time, we anticipate that services will be booked out for another 10-years, so they would have to become a member somewhere else, unless they decided to enter our home-churching program and wait out the time. Certainly, the Council of Deacons has made acceptations in the past for dignitaries and recently saved persons making large tax-deductible donations to this church. But these rare exceptions are all dependent on a person's importance and financial standing, or on being at the right place, at the right time - or knowing someone on the Council of Deacons.
Folks, I'm going to have our webmaster put this sermon up on landoverbaptist.org. AND our Godly forum. Why don't ya'll reach down under your butts and grab that piece of paper you're sitting on. See that? This is a quick and easy way of answering sissy, genuine Christians when they judge you just because you attend a Church that follows God's rules. Take this home with you - and I'll have them post it on the web site as well.
Let's open our hymnals to page 265 and begin singing from the third stanza...

How Do People Get Saved if They Are Not Allowed to Attend Church?
It never ceases to amaze us the number of so-called "Christians" ask us this question. If they would only blow the dust off of their Bibles and put their noses into the 16th Chapter of Mark, they would find that Jesus commands us to evangelize the world! He didn't say, "find a comfortable pew each Sunday morning and cross your fingers in hopes that some unsaved piece of human refuse will walk through the doors of your church." No, he said, ""Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel." That word, "go" there is a verb. And for those of you illiterate, misguided Christians who allow unsaved people through the doors of your church each Sunday morning, a verb is an "action word," and "go" means "GO!" as in "leave," or "SCRAM!" It doesn't mean, sit on your hiney! The only place for evangelism is outside the confines of the Lord's four-walled holy dwelling place. God's home is a place for True Christians™ to fellowship and bask in the leisure of our American Christian luxury! Allowing an unsaved person into church is like asking a member of the Republican Party to take up the unsafe practice of "thinking." Something human beings should NEVER DO! PERIOD!

As always I bow to your wisdom Pastor Ezekiel. I hope we will see you in Freehold again soon.

To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!

When I spoke to my brother on the phone yesterday, he talked about the Easter service at his church. He said that you could tell children of the regular attenders from the children of the C&E "Christians" because the former knew how to behave in the Lord's house. Those C&E "Christians" have no business keeping us from worshiping the risen Savior like that.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

I attended a little service in Appalachia at a Church I am not a member of. As I pulled into the parking lot, I was barred entry as I was 'not on the list'. Fortunately, a few of the other members recognized me and gave security 'the nod'.
Things like this make me so happy, knowing the riff raff is being kept far away and only those of like minds and hearts are allowed.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

I need to just finnally say this. I am a 16 year old saved Christian teenage girl. I go to Living Faith Vhristian (Baptist) Church, and I have a few things to say. In our church, you walk in and feel love. Pastor Ed Kirkland preached FORGIVENESS! That is the Christian way to be! We encourage ALL to come worship ith us. In fact, Easter Sunday is our opprotunity to preach to all non-believers who come once a year. Its better to show how loving and forgiving our father is, not HATEFUL! Yes God is a jealous god but I know that he loves us all despite our human sinful ways. We are his children and he helps me out so much. Church is for non-believers as well as beleivers. Atheists, Satanists, we HOPE we can get them into our church. We WANT to show them that Jesus died to save us from our sins and that he loves us unconditionally!Church is for ALL who want to come and be with fellowship and celebrate as well as learn about God. God is our heavanly father and did NOT mean for his word to be so misconstrued like this "True Christian" church is interpreting .God is NOT a HATEFUL SAVAGE God who hates everything and everyone. He loves sinners- that INCLUDED gays. Homosexuality is the same sin as lying. There is no difference. If you want to appeal to people and spread the Gospel, than stop "preaching" hatefulness and ignorance. "Let us love one another" First John 4,7, and 8.

"Let us love each other" is also Gayparade 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Still, as much as you seem to be a bit deluded, at least you agree with us that homers are not normal people.
Could you, however, prove to us - using Scripture - that being a sodomite is the same as telling a lie?
Thank you.
Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

To tell the truth, my pastors and youth group leaders and various christian boks have told me that all sins are equal, all can be forgiven. I am really a student and can not give a verse, I will look for one though. And yes homosxuaity is completly sick and makes me so scared for their salvation. I know that God says he HATES homosexuality. It is so wrong, and why do they claim that they were "born that way" Ummm no they were not. They say "I m a mistake". How could God, who is perfect, make a mistake?. Um he cant. And its really the media and our "lets accept gayness" world culture and misguided parents that make a person "become gay". I pray for them, they are deluded people.

Galations 5:14 " Love your neighbors as yourself"
and Please if you will read : 1 JOHN 4:9-10 NKJ we are all sinners until we ask for forgiveness, and He WILL forgive us.
Thank you for your time !

Even blasphemy against the Holy Ghost?
Matthew 12:30-32
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

That's no surprise.
It sounds like your Pastor isn't worth whatever they are paying him.
You need to find a better Church ASAP!
2 Timothy 2:15-16
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Lest we forget that C&E Christians are NOT welcome. If you have let your membership expire, you will have to attend the public meetings at the Des Moines Holiday Inn we are required by law to hold. (But not on Easter)
Those seats can be better served by tithe paying members.
Thank you for understanding.

Following your community leadership, Brother Jones, we've been doing our PreEaster law enforcement training in the Freehold PD. Officiers are being provided every church member's picture. We think we can quickly recognize unwelcome visitors.
This is such a holy time for our Freehold citizens. Our job at City Hall is to make sure it is not soiled by interlopers.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
