I recently encountered some pastors from CAC. They seemed to know a lot about me without giving them much information. They also seem to use symbolism for a lot of their prayer. For example, they may tell you to buy a door and decorate it because a door of success is about to be open or give some pastors money on the "ori oke" to pray for you. These things do not tally with biblical teachings, especially where money has to be given out in return for God's blessings, but when a person is in a tough situation/problem, and hears some things from a stranger that he has not told anyone, it does lend these pastors some "credibility".

Has anyone had experiences with these types and what conclusions can you draw from them. Can they be trusted or not?

Bro's every man dey hustle dat der own way to create fear in yur mind
Very powerful weapon and deadly

Since you don't have access to God, tell them to pray for you on credit, that you'll pay them when the prayer comes true.

A Nairaland account with just 2 posts opened to raise doubts about Christianity and its pastors.... wow

The fight for the soul of the Christian is REAL

The devil is really scheming for the soul of the average Christian.

The more reason I get to believe the Bible more because my Lord Christ Jesus had mentioned this earlier...about the persecution of his followers

The same Bible warns us about false prophets in the last days....I was only sharing my observation with others, is that not what Christianity is all about? Supporting each other? Instead of being judgemental, why not try to contribute something useful?

Yes, I just opened the account for anonymity on the internet. I would be careful about my internet footprint too , if I were you.

It's not about being a C.A.C pastor, it's about being regenerated. Is he born again? Then, are you born again? Why do you go there? To seek miracle and know what to go to 'make it in life', right? Then they work on your motive and eagerness.

See, the main this is to know what the Bible says about 'you' and apply it to your life. Going to a pastor for counselling is not wrong, but your understanding of the Bible will make you know if their counsel is worth following. In fact, your understanding of the Bible will make you know if you need to post this on NL or not.

Have you read your Bible today?

Smh...My fellow Naija sister . Why are you judging me? I must be looking for miracles, I must be looking for something. Sorry ma, I havent read my Bible today. You that you've read yours, kindly share what it says.

No matter what you think you know, there is always room for learning from others. It's not a bad thing to ask for guidance from more experienced people. Let's stop judging and start loving, afterall, isn't that what He wants us to do?

Nobody holy pass, and I pray you do not encounter a problem in life that takes you on the brink of forgetting what you thought you knew, just to get some relief from the situation.

These CAC people self, they are not different from cele and mfm who like ritualistic prayers like bring holy water, bring olive oil, candle, this one, that one.

comparing C.A.C. with CCC shows you don't know anything about the church you might just be among the folks trying all they could to fight Christianity.

no!
I'm not fighting the church. If you want to defend falsehood, then you must be prepared to explain yourself.

In 2019 when covid-19 was ravaging the public such that, everyone including all the babalawos and ifa priests went into lockdown, where was CAC prayers and holy waters?

You people have learnt nothing?

The people simply allow the memories to die down. Now, they have started manifesting again, and you people have forgotten so soon?

Now, go and Google it and get informed.

SYNCRETISM OF TRADITION AND CHRISTIANITY

it is the most toxic element that can ever manipulate the brain and can never be compatible with the bible.
Infact, another researcher put it this way.
The mainline conservatives in Christianity always conceive syncretism as a practice which contaminates or dilutes Christian religion with elements that are incompatible with the gospel.

Smiles. You're just ignorant.

like, is this the only thing you can say to defend syncretism?

Ok, how about the bible.
Is there any scripture that Paul the apostle or Peter or any biblical believer who had used symbolic items like pomade, powder, water, candle, etc to pray?
You can educate us here,

Because, in reality these things have failed to work.
Also,no traditional babalawo charms have ever proven to work for the records, otherwise yahoo boys will be known to be the richest in society
