Very wrong, the church is not a comedy centre or a show house rather the centre for teaching the doctrine (sound) of Christ. You can't sustain converted souls with comedy but with good teachings and revelations - Ps 119 v 130.

Its wrong to use carnal means to draw men, into the church, for if and when you use carnal means to draw men into the church, you must continue to use carnal means to keep them. And that which is carnal, is against the things of God.

You don't use those whom you claim are working for the devil to win soul for Christ. You so called Christians are the most confuse been on earth. One moment you call celebrities agent of the devil ,the very next minute you need them to win soul for your business [/quote/]


Sorry to disappoint you bro, we are all striving to make heaven in one way or the other be it Christian, pagan all of us are sinners hoping to be clean enough some day to face the consequences of our activities good or bad.

Re: Using Actors And Actresses For Church Publicity. Right Or Wrong? by daveP(m): 9:33am On Aug 26, 2018
It's very wrong. very.


God gave us the Old Testament to know he takes the worship of him articulate and directly with instructions. The rules of restrictions were to many that it gave it part of its fear. it worked, but the access is the difference BTW both new and old.


This is what I term merchandising God's altar. Uzzah, Hophni and Phinehas passed their boundaries and paid with their lives.


These guys are not redeemed again due to their lifestyles. This is God's altar so live up to it.


It's sacredness is so so topnotch that the highest priest had to always consecrate himself before entering.


See, some things can be overlooked even as Christians. But not when God states this rules with his mouth. Don't only remember God takes his word over his name when it benefits you. It's all rounder.


Even the whites don't do such crap. They engage in holy laughter but not merchandising like calling Actors etc to mount the altar as though anointed and separated like Paul and Barnabas.

Please Bible scholars in the house, help me out.

What is the Biblical meaning to this act please?
most big churches in Nigeria uses popular Nigeria actors, actresses, comedians to advertise church program /conventions.

I am not judging anyone. noone is perfect which I know. I'm actually getting sad about this. I was watching and enjoying this popular church program on the TV yesterday until one of those adverts came up. I don't know if I have a wrong idea about it, maybe my reasoning is not current. Please someone should help me out here.

1. is it right?
2. is it biblical
3. what's the spiritual indication about this
4. what's the motive behind this? or is it to make people believe no matter the level of their sinful life, a stripper can invite them to church?
For the fact that they are actors does not preclude them from doing the work of God. Many of us are Engineers, we still pastor churches. Lets stop this judgemental approach to everything. Some of them u see in those pictures are Evangelists. Acting is just a profession.

From your pictures, it’s very obvious it’s Potopoto Republic pastors that do such things.

This is very wrong. I will never agree to this kind of method of winning soul to the body of Christ. This case is just like a case of people using cart to carry The Ark of God. There are somethings that look right in the eyes of men but so wrong before God.

If these people are guest speakers, or ministers who play an important role in the program, then no problem.

Where it's wrong is the Fire House Church banner, the actors there are not ministers. Probably just special guests.

Re: Using Actors And Actresses For Church Publicity. Right Or Wrong? by monticalo: 10:42am On Aug 26, 2018
My dear as they say we are living by His grace . Lol. Even criminals , yahoo boys, ritualists, etc will tell u its by His Grace they are progressing and succeeding in what they do . Churches don't care anymore . 95% of church service going on now are talking about how material things will com your way and prosperity . If Jesus Christ in indeed coming very soon what would the church rather b preaching . Prosperity or salvation . Gone are those days you hear a pastor say or prophesy that there is somebdy here who have killed or is about to kill somebdy for money ritual . Rather what you here is there are twenty people here God is asking to sow a seen of 21,000 naira for one Or two material things to com their way . They say salvation is the greatest miracle but the question is how many people hv u heard com out and share that kind of testimony that they are saved . Nigerians love fun fun fun fun , as far as a Nigerian is concern life purpose is go to school , get a job , flex , post on social , look for a wife , start having sex , give birth , show off and DIE . in answer to your question and hustle acquire fame make money and Church directly or indirectly will come for you . Lol

If a genuine pastor not scammer o has to Bring Ronaldo/cr7 to his church just to win souls I have no issues with it. God used pharaoh to achieve his plans also. Everything belongs to him.

Is your religion that cuts innocent people's head, kidnap and rape little girls, kill pregnant women and remove their baby from their womb the best. Evil religion.

Comedy in church encourages lying!

Well what do I know?

That won't stop pastors from sleeping with church members

Won't stop the pop and Catholic Bishops from being gay

Won't stop Choirmaster from sleeping with choristers!

Useless Religion with no bearing and direction!!!

In the time of the Apostles, the Gospel carries irresistable power of God, they were all ablaze for God. In the day of pentecost, even the passerby saw undisputed miracle. Were there no actors and Actresses then? Come to think of it, when will they be allow in shrine? When will they crack their joke in mosque? That will never happen. Then we could conclude that many of those who possibly poses as Christian leaders are really sick spirituality.

It is wrong! Subtle Satanic infiltration into the church. Its supposed to be the presence of God not entertainment arena.

The question you should be asking is: is there still a True Church of Christ?

In a True Church, solemnity is key. The worship of God is taken seriously and in spirit and truth. There can never be time for frivolous activities like comedy or giving undue attention to an individual simply because he is a celebrity or famous.

In a True Church, there was no need for publicity. Christ was seen in the lives of the saints. They didn't need to carry big Bibles. As a matter of fact, the saints were called Christians because people saw Christ in them. Their attitudes were totally Christlike.

May God help us all.
