This site was sent to me via facebook for the "lols"
Yet reading it made me more disgusted, this what I'm assuming another Army of God cult creeping up in the US.
"This mission statement is borrowed from a Christian martyr of unknown identity. He was a young African Christian who penned these words in his prison cell before his death. May God bless him for his inspiration.
" I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I am a disciple of Jesus Christ- I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure- I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won't give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.
I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me and when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear."
Repent Amarillo is comprised of two groups blended together, working together, to compliment and support one another for the purpose of spiritual warfare. They are;
1. Intercessory prayer group. This group will be a group of warriors called to intercessory prayer. They will at times be visible to the public and at other times ( depending upon the individual mission) they will be inconspicuous. They will provide prayer covering to the soldier group and will do battle within the spiritual realm to prepare the ground for the planting of God’s seeds, tear down demonic strongholds, and cast out demonic spirits that harass our efforts. Sometimes the intercessory prayer group will operate independently of the soldier group and at other times will work around them.
2. The Soldier group. The soldier group will consist of warriors dedicated to witnessing to groups of unbelievers or one-on-one witnessing. This group will be more visible to the public and will be comprised of bold believers willing to confront the world. This group will be schooled in the “Way of the Master” method of witnessing to the lost. This group will be the ones who plant God’s seeds in the ground that has been prepared by the intercessory prayer group. Believers who participate in this group will have to be bold but loving. Confrontational but composed. The individual members of these two groups are allowed and highly encouraged to move between the two groups based on the individual’s calling and the unique mission involved. In other words, no one is stuck to only one group. Soldiers can pray and intercessory members can witness.
Some of the possible missions that these two groups may be called upon to work will be some of the following:
1. Gay pride events.
2. Earth worship events such as “Earth Day”
3. Pro-abortion events or places such as Planned Parenthood
4. Breast cancer events such as “Race for the Cure” to illuminate the link between abortion and breast cancer.
5. Opening day of public schools to reach out to students.
6. Spring break events.
7. Demonically based concerts.
8. Halloween events.
9. Other events that may arise that the ministry feels called to confront.
These large events may involve both the intercessory prayer AND the soldier groups. Some of the smaller events that can be accomplished in between the larger events may be:
1. Sexually oriented businesses such as pornography shops, strip joints, and XXX-rated theaters.
2. Idolatry locations such as palm readers, false religions, and witchcraft. Many of the smaller missions listed above may be just prayer oriented missions for tearing down demonic strongholds or they may involve more aggressive use of soldiers and prayer warriors. Some other missions occasionally employed may be “undercover operations” where the groups show up together but are not publicly visible together to effect the outcome of a public meeting such as city commissioners meetings, etc."
You should read the soldier part gets even more creepy.
Thoughts? I swear one these cults pop up in Ottawa or Renfrew county I'm going to go hulk/Chuck Norris on them.
Watching this video, The Repent Amarillo will become like a cult soon enough, The video claim they won't discriminate but sooner or later they will.

Sounds like someone crossbred redneck militarism with bible belt fanatism. Hopefully they are just one of those groups that likes to incite hatred to gain some attention but doesn't do anything worse.

These people could be useful. Create a Christian group for the military, a church militant.
Seriously thought the bit I found reassuring was the idea that they were going to witness god. You can’t witness god to others, faith is an emotional experience. You can condition people into it but you can’t really provide a rational argument for it.
In a few years they’ll be gone or changed dramatically from the form they are today.
These people
Make those people look silly.
And the woman in that video is right; get them while they’re young, manipulate their peer groups, their rewards. That’s how you induce faith in what you want people to have faith in.

A cult? sounds more like an army.
something i would plan if I created space marines. But in all seriousness, I really hate it how people claim to be some sort of second jesus. No one knows Gods will and saying you do so will have you become an enemy of the public, and people of the same religon.

Great, a radical groupof nutjobs AKA (potential?) terrorists who may bring choas, break the law or otherwise disturb legal/democratic events.
As if we didn't had plenty of nutjobs and extremist groups either that seek to bring "rightness" / "justice" as perceived by whatever world view they may have. I really wonder how people can feel so convinced that whatever they are doing is for the greater good and thus warrants breaking the law as established by the majority people in a democracy... *sigh*

This is an unfortunate occurrence in states with lots of empty, sparsely populated rural regions like Texas. We have a number of wackjob cults in the state, but few of them go to the point of open violence but do bad things to their members.
This particular group is more direct in their actions and not afraid to have a confrontation in defending or spreading what they perceive to be the message of god. I don't think these guys will reach the level of insanity the Branch Davidian did though.

How is christianity any different ?
Oh there a bit more brutal and extreemist !

There all terrorist groups, and they all spread lies, and given the chance they will kill another race over religious beliefs.Like the christians have done in the past, like Israel is doing now.
Look at the US, one could argue some of the biggests christian extreemist live there, makes you wonder what all the bla bla bla about muslims is all about.

You can make a differentiation between these wackjobs and just regular folk. For one thing I'm confident even with our "Jesus Saves" wackjobs in my neighborhood, I don't think any of them will resort to violence or force themselves onto others.
