My man Carter posted this video over on his blog. This puts another spin on "out of the mouths of babes!"
And I'm pretty sure I heard someone say "Teach on!" and the pastor say, "Raise an offering!"
I can't tell if the lil' fella is imitating the Pentecostal preahing he sees or the WWF.

What the Gehenna? Some are laughing. Some are all "Praise Jesus" and so on.
I can't tell if it's garden variety tomfoolery or a sad case of gullibility.
Either way, I'm glad you shared it!

I suspect this is the first time a video from a Oneness Pentecostal website has been on 9Marks! :)

My comments from my post with this video (http://www.hantla.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=625):
Slightly less content
Much less error
Equal or greater emotional rise.
Amen!

I don't know whether to think, "Awww, that's so cute" or "These people are idiots".

Seems like a pretty easy decision to me, Sean.

I had to play this several times to ensure my eyes/ears weren’t deceiving me. I wasn’t sure what I was looking at: (1) something funny? (2) something sad? (3) something very telling about the nature of side-show “preaching”? (4) something encouraging about the way little children learn? Whatever I saw, I was struck with these thoughts: (1) woe be to those who cause little ones to stumble; to make them think that the glory of the gospel is nothing more than screaming, babbling, gesturing, and whooping it up. (2) woe be to anyone who underestimates the power of the visual acumen of a child: they see very clearly and can reveal our folly to us in a very pure, unadulterated way; (3) woe be to us who neglect to teach truth to the children under our care. It is not about mimicry.
