About Our Rating
Based on each investigation and the information we collect on each church, we will either recommend or not recommend a church. Everyone has a different perspective and opinion based on their doctrinal views, personality, and other factors. Our recommendations are based on our Ultra-Libertarian Christian perspective and our desire to protect the Body of Christ from the abuse, exploitation, coercive control, and other cult-like behaviors practiced by wolves in sheep’s clothing.
When presented with evidence, you dismiss it and declare victimhood. I did not insult you, you perceive any disagreement as an insult, or abuse it’s a classic snowflake response.
I will be more clear this time, I am done commenting, your page and opinions have no value to me.

you Don’t even attend our church, you are making false accusations!
Hey Sarah, when it comes to Christian service, what would you suggest a new believer, who knows nothing about serving God, do in service to God. It would seem that a good place to start would be serving in your local church around more mature believers as you grow in the faith.⅕ I completely agree that churches that act like corporations and businesses need a good looking at, but, unless I am wrong, that's just not the state of the average church in America.

Hello, I am someone who lives in the area and does not really hold the highest view of coast life. I go to a different church in the area. To be fair, what specific things about their membership requirements are unbiblical? I think a statement like that should be thoroughly explained, otherwise, you.open yourself up to people making the same criticism of you.
Thank you,
