TD Jakes

I don't know much about him, but what I don't like is that in order to become a member of his church you have to have a credit check. I think that's just wrong and un-Biblical. Jesus didn't check people's credit before He healed them or would talk to them. He doesn't care what our credit is like so why should T.D. Jakes? I live not far from his church and it's packed every Sunday. Though, I wouldn't go there because my finances aren't his business.

I'll assume you are not joking... I have never been of a mind to consider spending any time with his books or sermons... but this credit check thing is ludicrous... IMHO, alot less $$ should go to these megachurches and megaministries, and go instead directly to charities that directly help those in need. It is such a waste and a shame to Christ's Church to have Millions of dollars spent on huge fancy buildings. Money is NOT a sign of God's blessing and favor, and ANY Church has no right and no business looking into what you have or have not.

I wonder if Jakes will make his credit info public for his congregation to see...

WE should have no worry or concern if we believe that the Holy Bible is the written word of God. If we believe in the Holy Ghost than we know that it is written in Hebrews 10:15-16 "Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;...." So no one can distort the true children of God. Spiritual ears can hear.

Let's continue to keep praying for each other always. As the scriptures go on to teach us in Hebrews 10:22, " Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." It is God Himself who must set the record straight. Let's keep praying one for another constantly for understanding, to become one under God, guided with His truth in one mind, body and spirit. God bless all.
