Apathetic Christianity is what gives Christ the black eyes....

—We renounce religious coercion or the forcing of conscience in any way.

Doesn't sound like a Svengali cult to me.

Re: Homestead Heritage in waco tx

—We believe church government arises from a relational form of internalized and noncoercive authority based on consent and emerging from within the local church and associated churches or else spontaneously emerging from a founding ministry. In short, we are of the “free church” or the “believers’ church” tradition. We also believe in a plurality of leaders arranged in the living and relational order given by God in the New Testament.

Doesn't look like a despotic dictatorship to me.

Sounds like they have read some L. Spooner....perhaps...the verbiage seems familier.

And...since I think I forgot to point it out - it is good to see you posting bro.
