Many problems here….
1. Woman thinks the Lord will grant whatever petition she has concerning the sending of angels to a person. God will grant whatever believers ask, as long as it is the best thing for those who trust Him, and most glorifying to His name. If God is in charge, then there is no absolute guarantee of “angels on your body”.
2. “If you were the only one, he would have sent Jesus to die on the cross for you.” This is a false view of the atonement that assumes God is trying to save everyone equally but failing. This is a failure to come to terms with the Bible’s teachings of total depravity/original sin/enmity against god, particular redemption, and the efficacy of grace.
3. Woman makes a presentation as a “confession”, not mentioning repentance, from sin/idolatry and faith toward God. She could appeal to Romans 10, but by the time Paul got to chapter 10, he had already established the problem of sin and, the need for repentance from it in all the chapters before that. She then asks if He wants to accept it, when she hasn’t explained much of it.
4. I think the dispensational view of “the tribulation” in the book of revelation is misled, and is traditionally driven rather than Biblically. I’ll just give one example: John calls himself “your brother and partner in the tribulation” (Revelation 1:9), which shows his own view (the one who wrote the book) that the tribulation is what all believers are going through that experience hardship in the gospel era, especially in persecution(himself being exiled for the sake of the gospel).
5.She anoints her car with oil, as, “a touch of the Holy Spirit”. What?
6. “would you just like to try the Lord”; this violates so many Biblical categories, that I don’t think I can get into it in this current format.
7. It seems as though even the BBC non-christian interviewer, Louis, knows that bumper stickers, shirts, and hats can’t function as substitutes for intelligent interaction with those who don’t believe the christian message (aka evangelism/witnessing).
8. I don’t know if I would call this one a problem, but Pre-tribulational rapture is a part of dispensational premillennialism, as well as historic premillennialism to my understanding; I covered this in part in point 4; I won’t get into pre-tribulational rapture vs. tribulational rapture here.
9. Man claims that the only thing keeping satan from destroying the world is the church. Actually, it’s only by God’s permission that satan can, or cannot do anything harmfull in the world. If not for God’s permission, satan could do nothing. God does fight the forces of evil, through His church, but it is all God’s doing. I think there is some truth in his statement, but I think it is misleading.
10. I like how the interviewer tested their discernment, with the song “faith”. He asked if that song could be used to share the gospel with someone; the man agreed that it would work. Does this really need a refutation?
11. I’m not sure what he meant by “fools for Christ”. At this point in the movie, it’s good to mention the need to be relevant and interesting, and to create an atmosphere for people that will attract a crowd, not scare a crowd away. I really think those people walking by would have been more interested, if all they were doing was handing out flyers.
12. It’s interesting how the BBC interviewer, Louis, knows that the man talking to the girls was only interested in the girls. “yeah, but he was confessing that he believes in Jesus”; this really does point out the weakness of pop-evangelism. Again, Romans 10:9-10, is being abused here.
13. “Is that saying doing try to understand me with your brain?-”, “-Right, it’s not a brain thing”. It seems that, even to Louis, it’s strange to believe God would be glorified by not understanding Him.
14. You know I have had multiple experiences just like the one Louis is in at this point; I’ve been in LONG, crazy services, where people are “feeling the spirit”, and “falling under the power”, and felt nothing. The problem is, what are people really supposed to be feeling, if the truth isn’t being presented, but instead a bunch of words no one can understand? Maybe there was good preaching there that they didn’t show in the film, but I’ve been in services that look just like that one, and it isn’t a type of meeting that typically has intelligible, much less clear preaching.
15. The kind of manipulation of people in these kinds of meetings is made clear by Louis. “you don’t have to feel it”…. this is insane; this has to be a joke.
16. Ya know, alot of times this “power of God” falling on the ground stuff, doesn’t seem God glorifying and holy. It makes me wonder what is going on.
17. Amazing, question from Louis. “Do you think….it’s human centered, and not God centered?”. I couldn’t have asked it better myself. Amazing how Louis, a person who isn’t a christian can see, this stuff isn’t God centered. He didn’t get an answer from the from the man about how this stuff really is God centered.
18. I really do appreciate those that love Jesus, but yet are misled in some way or annother. I do like this documentary-type-thing; was funny at parts; I benefited personally as to be reminded in what example I should not follow. I hope Louis can come in contact with a God centered, ministry, that is more Biblically faithful. Maybe one like http://www.desiringgod.org

Erratum:
3. Woman makes a presentation as a “confession”,
should be *Woman makes a presentation of the mode of salvation as a confession
13: “Is that saying doing try to understand me with your brain?-”
should be *”Is that saying don’t try to understand me with your brain?-”

Alright I just HAVE to say wasn’t it a bit obvious that Louis had a thing for the one daughter, and then when she started to make serious slut eyes at the guy behind her Louis was totally crestfallen in realizing that her “interest” was inauthentic and completely manufactured? Also the girl’s Dad struck me as 100% pedo. No joke.

THE ALL GODS CHILDREN PEOPLE DONT LOOK THAT BAD..ACTUALLY THE MOST INTOUCH WITH REALITY I HAVE SEEN OUT OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

Kind of a silly documentary. You’re not really going to end up learning anything about anyone with this. Much worse than Louis Theroux’s usual work.

This is a great doco and its definitely thought provoking. Christianity + Consumerism = late Capitalism. Love Louis!
