I'm left to wonder if they're preaching REPENTANCE to help lead these people to salvation? Or, are they simply saying, "you are who you are, don't apologize for anything - lovelovelovelove..."

Rest assured it's the latter. These people create an image of God plucked from thin air with a lot of guidance from Satan. They pick and choose which parts of the Bible they're comfortable with and ignore the rest. The problem is that God is not some good-natured uncle who lets everything slide with a wink and a nod. There are always consequences to stepping outside His will.

My church is Southern Baptist and very conservative. And despite the lies spread by the the left, we most certainly do welcome all with open arms. That does not mean, however, that our pastor treads lightly so as not to offend. God's truth is offensive to those under Satan's guidance, whether that guidance is direct or indirect. Jesus himself made clear that He would be a divider, not a uniter. God's principles are not open for negotiation, and truth is not in any way dependent upon anyone believing it.

I also believe the "churches" discussed in this article are clear examples of the "falling away" prophesied in Revelation, as are the churches now embracing homosexuality. Satan has no greater tool than these counterfeits.

As it should be. BUT, I'm willing to bet you don't accept them for membership and have them become part of the Church's family if they show no evidence of remorse, conviction, confession, and repentance, do you?

This morning sermon, we were in Jude:

Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

EARNESTLY contend for the faith BECAUSE certain men have crept in turning GRACE in LASCIVIOUSNESS.
