Galatians 2
15“We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith ind Christ and not by the works of the law, because by...
TDselector, you can test your belief:

Just Wondering, I agree with you. This particular church sounds more like the Pharisees of Jesus' day in much of what you say. I feel sure I wouldn't want to go there and they probably scare more people away than they realize.
