From my point of view, this is a GREAT evil in the church. The
way being saved is shoved down peoples throats, so they
can make POINTS off of people.
Nobody should partake of any Holy ritual until they are ready. Nobody should do these things just to get someone off of thier back, or to simply go through the motions.
To do so, ROBS them of the experience of the HOLY SPIRIT!

Jesus saves, not man, although there are allot of christians thinking they can save. Christians are to spread the word, not to fight over who is right and who is wrong. And I agree that it comes from teachings in the church, thats why the word of God says that His judgement will begin with the church

Many churches like to display the number of people who have been saved in their church. I guess it's a sort of spiritual sales pitch of sorts. The 144,000 is a Jehovah's Witness thing, don't pay much attention to that one. People should turn to god when they feel in their heart that it is time. False belief due to human standards is just that false belief.

But that's exactly what it is... Points. They look good in front of their Christian friends and they can tell others about how well they "witnessed" and hopefully bring in more converts. It's a deceitful way to go about spreading something that's supposed to be The Absolute Truth.

It says plain in the Bible that 144,000 souls will go to Heaven. I will be there. but the other relgions and atheists and Muslins will not!!! The Holy Gospel of Jesus is NEVER wrong! It was wrote by God Himself.

That church is a non-Christian cult, they do not follow God's Word.

Good point.
These people who do this just need to remember one thing... It isn't they who save people.

Mankind tends toward the quantitative. AMOUNT gets our attention, silly things that we can be.
