A church is not a building. It is an entity of collection of people. If something bad happens in a church, it is not becuase of its building is bad. It is because of the people at its leadership who are not using their authority based on the gospel and because of the people who blindly support them. It is called abuse. You see in the gospel two group of people kill Jesus: the religious leaders and the crowd who blindly followed them.

A person who is brainwahed by UBF message easily falls into this kind of fallacy: coming to UBF and staying there whole life is Christian salvation. It could be for some. However getting out of there could be Christian salvation for others. If you cannot agree to this statement, consider yourself brainwashed. Next, this site will never make decision for a person. It is the person who makes the decision and that person is the sole cause of his or her own decision. That is one of the reason to visit this site so that one can make a decision not just based on what is told in UBF. Sadly, UBF never teaches how to make one's own decision. The decision is already made for you. You just have to accept it unless you don't want to be treaed like a devil.
