This might surprise you but THAT’S NOT YOUR JOB!!!

What's not my job? To be able to discern who is truly a follower of Christ and who is simply using Christ either to win votes or to accumulate money? Strikes me that is every Christian's job--at a minimum.

Sums it up quite succinctly.

We should also keep in mind that politicans who control the levers of power are held to a higher moral standard than ordinary workaday citizens.

Politicians are also held to a higher legal standard---since they hold the power of the purse. Politicans actions are sometimes prosecuted as crimes----while identical actions by citizens are not.

CASE IN POINT: US Senator Harrison Willians was prosecuted and went to jail for taking a gift of stock in a titanium mine. However, an ordinary citizen can take a gift of stock without committing a crime.

People weren't buying Giuliani's gameplan---his public life was a map of his interior life. Giuliani worships at The Church of Whatever Works For Me.

No. It’s not your job to deny anyone communion. And that goes for pastors and priests also. They have no way of knowing the intent of ones heart or their personal relationship with the Lord. So, what gives them or you the right to deny anyone. Judge them in your mind if you want, we all do that but don’t try to do the Holy Spirits job.
