  EVANGELICALS GUILTY OF SELF-DECEPTION               4/77



   I believe a lot of evangelicals (Baptists, Pentecostals, etc.) 
   fall into the trap of self-deception due to their emphasis on 
   "talk" (i.e. witnessing, testimonies, etc.) and their 
   inclination towards rigid dogma and doctrine.  Instead of 
   saying what they really do feel and think they say what they 
   think they should feel and think, kid themselves into thinking 
   they really do feel and think what they are saying they feel 
   and think, and thus perpetrate a hoax on themselves and others.
