"I think we wouls be shocked at the number of professing Christians who are
 really Satanists, and especially witches, planted in the churches to undermine
 and destroy God's work. They're there. We need to be on our toes and, even more
 importantly, on our knees before God, asking Him to cleanse His church and make
 it pure."

       If God has the power to cleanse his church of the influence of these
    demonic forces, then why doesn't He? If He has the power but is choosing
    not to, isn't he really by default responsible for their being there,
    and testing people in this way?  I am somewhat confused.
