“Don’t listen to anyone else except for me. I will teach you everything you need to know.”<\/p>\n

“Don’t read any book except the Bible.”<\/p>\n

“Don’t trust anyone around here except for me. They’re all backstabbers, but you can trust me.”<\/p>\n

“If you want to know the scoop on anybody in church, I can tell you all about them.”<\/p>\n

“Jesus told me to tell you… [fill in the blank].”<\/p>\n

“I know that most Christians throughout church history have taught that this passage means one thing, but last night God showed me what it\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>means.”<\/p>\n

“Every church in town teaches heresy except for us. We are the only ones who teach the truth.”<\/p>\n

“God would love you more if….[fill in the blank].” OR “God will stop loving you if…[fill in the blank].”<\/p>\n

“The previous three churches I was part of never understood how much God wants to use me, but I believe that this church will see how gifted I am.”<\/p>\n

“I earned my Ph.D…. So please call me ‘Dr.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
