Consider that the average IQ is 80–89, meaning HALF of the people are dumber than that.

Astounding isn't it? If you want to see stupidity beyond astonishing just go to a youtube channel called "Just Rolled In" and watch the "Customer States" videos. It shows the problems which people bring their cars into the auto shops to have repaired. They say "Customer states" and then show the cause of the "problem". It's hard to believe there are people that stupid out there driving around! I'll save you the search. Here's the link to one...

"Denzel Washington baptized. PR or fake conversion like other stars?"

Time, actions and words will tell.

It doesn't really matter. He most likely wasn't "converted", that is SAVED the Biblical way. Sure, there are some saved people in COGIC and AOG just as there are probably saved people attending the RCC but they're likely "babes" in Christ (newborns) because if they studied their Bible they would eventually learn the errors of all Pentecostalism and Catholicism. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes here but I MUST proclaim the TRUTH of the Bible, even the 1611 AV KING JAMES BIBLE. (those who study this understand that all new versions are counterfeits of the pure, preserved written word which for us is the KJV). It's like truth doesn't exist anywhere on earth anymore!

Denzel Washington's baptism; He is now an ordained minister for COGIC or Church of God in Christ which has many doctrinal errors the biggest of which is "holiness". COGIC believes, as having come from the Pentecostal Assemblies of God church, in many doctrinal errors.

Holiness Pentecostals believe that THE evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (God) in a believer is evidenced in the speaking of tongues. If one doesn't speak in unknown tongues as the early apostles and disciples did - a gift of God AT THAT TIME to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to many different countries throughout the early Roman Empire - then one is not saved.

This is ANTI Biblical because it falls under the category of WORKS which a person does to attempt to achieve Salvation. This has also caused a phenomenon of those who are part of the Pentecostal movement to FORCE tongues which is simply gibberish which some Pentecostal pastors engage in with each other, babbling nonsensical utterances to each other as the congregations giggle and laugh in another anti-Biblical "manifestation" called "Holy Laughter".

The Bible says to BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31). Belief or Faith is the ONLY action necessary on the part of a believer but this belief must come from his heart. No tongues, no baptism, no being "slain" in the Spirit or works of any type qualify for salvation, only FAITH in Jesus Christ and His Atoning Power to forgive all sins of anyone who would simply believe.

One must realize that their sins separate them from God and that the SAVIOR is necessary for them to live with God for eternity. If someone desires to be saved from the sins which every person knows beset them, they will go in search of the Truth of God and begin in the Bible to learn how belief in Jesus Christ's Atonement (Shed Blood, death, burial and Resurrection) saves us from our sins.

Every religion in this world attempts to add their own "works" to the simplicity of salvation and causes others to follow them down the wrong path and into a life of works. Pentecostals and many other denominations have not "rightly divided" the Scriptures (including Catholicism) and have placed emphasis on works.

The Pentecostals believe that all of the gifts given to the early church in Acts are still in effect and they attempt to gain them which is futility because those gifts have CEASED with the closing of the canon of Scripture. One must STUDY to understand this. Paul said to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:20 stating that "Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick."

Here is a man that RAISED THE DEAD and cast out demons and healed many people in the course of his ministry yet he left his friend to deal with his own illness? (which malady isn't stated) Would he, if he still had the ability, HEAL his friend before he left? Of course he would have but those gifts had served their purpose and were REMOVED from the apostles and disciples at a certain time. ALL of them ceased to be with the closing of the canon. But this is only discovered by studying the written word.

This is why we must STUDY the Bible which Paul also told Timothy, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 and, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 2 Timothy 3:16

Here's a Christmas-Eve question for the Strange Sounds Think-tank:

Let's say the US Government had never run a deficit/debt that exceeded $10 billion. If so, would we still have multi-billionaires living above us?

Yes. Only, less of them would be congressmen.
