From #3. Looks like Bieber joined a typical liberal feel good church.

“However, Apprising Ministries’ Pastor Ken Silva expressed his views regarding Lentz’s popularity in a new interview.
“This is typical of the cult of celebrity megachurch pastor because to grow their little kingdoms they cannot risk offending anyone,” said Pastor Silva, according to Charisma News. “As Christians we must love precious LGBT souls, for whom Christ died, enough to tell them the truth. Pastor Carl, it is not unloving to tell someone the truth; however, it is actually hateful to withhold it from them.”

Ok, but it looks far too much like he thinks going to a church is like going to the doctor’s office after dropping a brick on his foot.

Agreed. The gospel IS “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...”—Romans 1:16

Three years ago, Bieber (and his dad) had "Yeshua" tattooed on him in Hebrew, in Israel.

To all the detractors, here's one of my favorite scriptures, from Philippians 2:12: "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Earlier, in the same chapter, Paul writes: " Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves..."

I'd also like to bring up the parable of the workers. And Romans 3:23... "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

I could find more examples. But I'm sad that I have to bother. It's attitudes like those seen here that caused me to stop posting on this forum a couple of years ago. I see that my return will probably be short-lived.

The Biebs, I think, knows he’s headed in the wrong direction and quite probably wants to at least make things better, if not right. My big concern isn’t Bieber’s sincerity but the guidance he gets from Carl Lentz. Based on interviews I’ve seen I’m not sure Mr. Lentz instructs people - from the pulpit - in the things they need to hear from the Bible.
