Editor:

Of all your message, there is one glaring problem. God tells us not to trust man, pastors, or even our lovelies with whom we share our lives. So, when someone hears someone else say what you have stated, they must prove their beliefs before they are saved.

Words alone are a shortcoming that must be evaluated, as salvation/eternal life is the gravest individual responsibility.

Pastors are judged first for this reason, then the individual second, who is responsible for the lack of reproof, as per 2 Timothy 3:16.

Thank you for reading.
