The point I am making is one testifies that God led them to this one particular church by special means there fore they must have all the truth. I disagree just because God lead you to a certain group does by no means say they have all the answers.
I do agree some within certain groups will never grow beyond that group, others will need to leave as they will grow beyond what the certain group can give them. I have associated with several pastors over my life time, few are progresive as to build growth in the child of God that grows beyond said pastors leval of progresion. Most pastors keep thier people subdued below thier own leval if they can. Those that grow beyond said pastor generaly leave and are then called backsliders.

unfortunatly i agree with with most of that ,should not be true but is ,more than i would like to admit .
however that is not true always ,there are many pastors i know of ,that are pushing themselves to continual growth in god ,and takeing their congregation with them ,as many as will go .. if people are not pushed they will stay in the same ole rut.. i push to get folks to pray ,fast ,study,, witness,to stay on their spiritual toes ,if you dont the devil will blindside you sooner or later with something.
