Review: Iglesia Antorcha Encendida

This is by far one of the most bazaar churches I have attended they seem to base them self around money and almost make you feel bad if you don't give...Also the bible gets translated very poorly there were many topic and issues that were very out of content and very poorly explained. The church in general seams to be more as cult then a church they focus more on defeating the devil instead of praising the lord and when I mean defeating the devil I mean it, Pastor Maria conducts actual exorcism in the church VERY SCARY!!! especially for little kids... I don't think I feel right being in a church that praises the pastor like it's the living Jesus people basically hand over there check book to this lady, that's how brainwashed the church is.. lady I was sitting next too at the church told me that Pastor Maria does private prayers for extra money (What!!!?) sounds more like fortune teller huh. I don't think I will ever attend there services again..

SCARY CHURCH!!! they seem to beg for money alot..

This church is nothing but a joke all they do is ask for money everyone there seems to be brained washed. my advise stay away not gods will the church is a joke the pastor is a joke the memebers are a joke.....

This church needs to be stopped and shut down,,,

Yo era miembro de esta iglesia y en un principio pense que era el mejor lugar para adorar al Senor, todo parecia bien. Hasta que empece a ver la verdad no me gusto el hecho de que gira alrededor del dinero y que mis hermanos y hermanas estban siguiendo a la pastora Maria y no a Dios. Los miembros deben entender que deben seguir la palabra de Dios y no de la pastora, pero este no es el entendiomiento en esta iglesia. No me gustaba el hecho de que la Pastora estab disfrutando de este tipo de atencion que deje de asistir los servicios de la iglesia.

I'm freinds with the pastor Maria son I went about some 5 6 times with him really sweet kid she basicaly disownened him for his choice of life style (bisexuality) every one is basically throwing money at the church he was 'libarated' from gay demons and so where many others who where thought to be posessed in front of entire church never going back felt very uncomfertable

Can any one say Jim Jones!! sound like the peaple's church is trying to make another march...

I couldn't understand a thing they were saying.

Omg!!! I know this church, My mom used to drag me to this church I never been so scared in my life I felt like I was in hell. For some reason my mom stopped going to there services thank God.

to jonathan solis exactly who are you to be wanting to talk to this young man??? are you reporter, lawyer, part of a child advocacy group??

I just want to say that all those that are attaking Pastor Maria will give count to God. She is a woman of God and very anoited. All you people that are talking bad about her need to repent and get saved. Jesus is coming soon and you all will go to hell if you keep touching a anointed one like Pastor Maria Salazar.

you must been full of demons to be scary of the presence of God like in this church. You need to get delivered.

You must be full of $hit if you think anyone believes you.

Trust UPS for deliveries, not this wacko church.

The church is not bad and the pastora maria is a good woman And when they ask for money they only say " we accept anything you can give and if none then let the lord still bless u. Ive been to many other churches and never felt closer to god than how ive felt in iglesia antorcha encendida my whole life has changed ever since i stepped foot in the church . back in the day i would drink smoke bud , and do cocaine ones in a while but attending this church made my whole life turn around and leave my bad habits. the pastor talks how god loves us all and that he loves us but not our sins , i am a member of the church I attend every day of service not for the pastor or for the church but for god And I will dance for my god sing for my god and cry with joy and happyness to my god . god loves everyone , and god bless u pastora maria salazar for helping us be closer to god . i love u god

If she is such a good person then why did she Dis-own her own son for having a different choice of life style (Bi)? her false attacks on him left him in a world of hurt that he had to go find a different place to live at only 17.. Oh and didn't she get a divorce from her husban? Doesn't that contradict everything that bible encourages they were both deep in the church that no issue could not been solved through god. I feel for her family bc it's all broken up and not a family..

Like I said this church focuses more on defeating the devil instead of praising the lord.. for some reason every one who attends this church belives they are being possesed by demons and must be cast out. I'm sorry but thats not what church is about..
