They will place UNBIBLICAL burdens on men and women that are hard to bear, and not lift a finger to lighten their burdens. They not only refuse to enter the kingdom of God themselves, but they shut up the kingdom of God from those who would desire to enter in. They love to stand in their pulpits in their $400 suits and their wives behives 12 ft. tall. They make broad the boarders of their garments for the glory of their own names. They love being greeted in the malls to receive the praise of men. They are made in the image of their their dead and lifeless elders who lay in their graves... and not in the image of Jesus Himself! Their own elders will rise up and rebuke them in the Day of Judgment. Woe unto them!

It makes me sad to hear this type of accusation against pastors and evangelists. Not every preacher that preaches Jesus-name baptism and holiness is a pharisee, but there is a ground-swell amongst many who strongly disagree with their former pastors to paint all preachers with a very wide brush. I know, having personally been on the receiving end of such accusation. Some get too carried away with these accusations. It just makes me sad that there is such a wall of anger and resentment that must be removed before simple reconciliation can begin.
