"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Do you actually go into a closet and shut the door? And by telling us this aren't you breaking the secret?

No, I don't go into a closet, but I pray and sometimes kneel in solitude, as Christ rightly instructed us. We are not to show ourselves to be pious according to the strain on our knees or the grimace on our face. What matters is what is in the heart.

Men don't need to kneel in public for God to know their prayers. As He says, He knows what we need before we ask.

Secret. :)

According to their website, they’ve only gotten 7500 baptized members. Maybe this helps explain it.
