Something so simple could become very complex. They knew God once but they became fools. We need to seriously be precautions because there's a great falling away in modern times. People are lukewarm. Love is understanding one can be stern but not lukewarm and still be loving.

Very serious precaution leave no stone unturned this is no joke!
First a disclaimer: That it wasn't put on my spirit, on my heart, that this was anointed immediately but I do take it seriously. I am talking about Howard Pittman's testimony but I've heard others like his.
Sometimes Christians say as I heard one female true believer who has been going through a lot of heartache when I knew them because of the dysfunctional functional division in their family, she said to me she was out to do her father's work, her father's business. A lot of Christians will claim this and it's true to a certain point because we're to contend for the faith once delivered onto the Saints. So at the same time God exists he's love but God is also the sternest judge in the universe that he can send somebody a sinner to hell forever and that is the stiffest penalty you could imagine but he's given us a way out and that is the lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Everything else is deception.
In my afterthoughts and extremely important after notes recently celebrities have been getting baptized but one needs to know the true meaning of baptism. People talk about spirituality but they're confused. There is an evil spirit and there are deceiving spirits demons devils and fallen angels and so on. God tells us his spirit will not strive with man forever. People will claim spirituality but without God so what spirit are they subscribing to? When they knew God they became vain in their imaginations worshiping more the created things/creature than the true creator whom is blessed forever. Who knew God? People that fell away, people that were sanctified in the truth at one time. Adam and Eve knew God in the garden. Judas the apostle became a devil the man of perdition. He knew God because Christ and God are one of the same. So if you study scripture you'll find people fell away even people Apostle Paul cautioned or Timothy or others did so. So today you have Christian leaders leading their Ministries and warning people that they're not loving. It's true I've heard it all. The things in scripture are true Christ was despised rejected and a man acquainted with sorrow. If he went on for example one of these Idol shows American Idol or Canadian/World Idol Simon Cowell might tell him who's going to buy his records he's just doesn't have the vanity that the world would be attracted to. Fools blind guides no different than the Pharisees. God is a spirit and those who worship God worship God in spirit and in truth. God is not vanity.: “ And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea , and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ”
Our brother in Christ Howard Pittman has passed on. However I have taken some snaps that are extremely important and assessments some warnings as a Baptist preacher he "seems" to have been given. I've assessed this more than once and I see other experience biblical Christian preachers have also assessed this and taking it seriously. There are some links to some articles you can read about this below.
The world ignores the true things that Christ taught and follows false pre-notions most of the time and ignores the above because the world is deceived. Is it in the Bible? What does the Bible say God's word?

Secondary after notes : There are many pitfalls for true biblical Christianity that people are not aware of and we know a man of God can judge all things and he himself is not judged but we also have to use wisdom because we don't want to prejudge everything and then enter in what's called be a reviler or we don't want to trample the blood of Christ which is very easy to do. Without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness of sins that's been put on my heart quite a bit. So we wrestle not against flesh and blood and so all kinds of things are introduced. In essence live your best life now. In essence it's okay to go back to the world because we're not under the law and you need to preach to the world and love the world as you love yourself but God is Holy and he prunes the branches and he's the one in charge not us. You know those in ministry know they're going to be held accountable for their own ministries but there are many members in the body some that point out things that aren't proper and we can't condemn them. A lot of people are busy living a religious life and not truly living the life that is in Christ. For example we might like music as a lot of people do and we hear a song that's not too offensive that's actually beautiful but it's always about me, myself and I, what I want. Rhetorical broken love songs. This must displease the lord greatly. It's so easy to grieve the spirit and true believers know that and it's already hard enough in a world that is Unholy and Evil and doesn't really think about the eternal destination but are busy reaping the world. Look at what happens when a person wins a lottery first thing they do is buy a huge house go on vacation and buy a whole bunch of things but the things you don't take with you when you leave this planet. Christ told the rich young ruler to sell everything give the money to the poor then he would have riches/treasures in heaven pick up his cross and follow him. You might say he picked up the cross for you so you don't have to do that your not saved by works. You know very well Christ said those that are massively deceived if they wouldn't listen to Christ nor the prophets that were persecuted before you neither will they listen to you. You also know that they persecuted the prophets that were before you and all who want to live righteous in Christ will be persecuted. A lot of street preachers from time and memorial have known what persecution is some people in the world had really known what true persecution is including the martyrs. We want to have our cake and eat it too. We want to be able to have a foot in the world that is wicked and a foot in Christ's Kingdom. You know what that is really entailing a foot in Christ Kingdom and partial foot in the devil's Kingdom. You can't serve two masters you see deceived people do not understand. What does it mean to be in Christ? What does it mean to be born again and to have a new nature? What does it mean to put on the mind of Christ? There was an excellent Christian evangelist whom did apologetics that passed away that even I admired once they say had an extra marital affair but denied it when he was on Earth it's not easy once you are admired as a preacher by the world you can easily be taken off guard. One truly needs to be grounded and push that pride always away.
