---------------------------

This group is for Christians who are against the paganism that has been introduced and accepted into the faith and practice and Christianity over the years. This includes all forms of pseudo-Christian syncretism, such as the "mass", the use of icons (portraits/pictures of divine persons, "saints" and angels) and symbols (such as the "crucifix", "monstrance" and various flags/banners) and the promotion of "holidays" (such as Christmas, Easter, New Year's, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, etc.). All discussions regarding paganism and how it has influenced Christianity are welcomed.

We unite to express our faithfulness to the scriptural truth. We acknowledge that while we are free to celebrate or not to celebrate scriptural rituals and/or holy days as we deem appropriate before God as memorials to the finished work of Jesus, we are to worship Him only in Spirit and in Truth, not blending expressly pagan forms of worship into ours under any name.

For the purpose of this group, the term 'pagan' is understood according to its classical, historical use in Christianity: the faith and religion of those who worship any being(s) and/or thing(s) as divine other than YHVH, including the nature/"Earth" based religions.

For the purpose of this group, the term 'Christian' is understood to meant those who have received and stand in 'the Gospel', as categorically and comprehensively defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, to wit: "that the Anointed One died for our sins according to the Scriptures" and "that he was buried and raised [physically] from the grave on the third day according to the Scriptures". This reception and stance is through "repentance towards God" and "faith in our divinely appointed sovereign, Jesus, the Anointed One" (Acts 20:21) as expressed when you "confess with your mouth that Jesus is the divinely appointed sovereign" and "believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead" (Rom 10:9-10). (It is unfortunate that we need to define 'the Gospel' and 'Christian' but it is necessary none the less.) This is not meant to exclude believers in the various sects who for personal reasons of ministry choose to stay in them despite the patently pagan practices that those sects expose!
