Jon Earls posted a video clip on his blog that as he says "makes your head want to explode." It highly appears that they are doing this to make money more than any thing. Exploiting the needy. I have had so many people ask questions about why we do or do not do something. They so easily can find another church or group that does the contrary. While not wanting to call other Churches or Christians into question I often point them to the verse in Philippians 2:12 that says "work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
Here are the verses that were at the end of the clip.
Galatians 1
6. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel–
7. which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
9. As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
I Timothy 4
3. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
II Timothy 3
1. But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3. without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self–control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4. treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God–
5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak–willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
7. always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
