Your assessment is correct- go with your gut instincts and RUN! I used to live in Jax. One time when we were between churches we visited Berean. It did not take long for us to take their pulse and find that the "managod" was what was worshiped instead of the Lord Himself. The church has a very poor testimony in the community.

We found a good church home at First Coast Baptist Church. You might try there. They have an excellent Christian School also.

You can ignore Oneal- he's another of those "managod" types. He wouldn't know a cult if it bit him in the butt because he is one.
