Assembly of God/Movies

Question
Hi,

Is it true that members of your church are allowed to go to the movies.  How can this be allowed in this day and age. With all the swearing and ungodly sex scenes I can not believed that a true believer would set foot in a movie theatre and watch what is put on the screen.
Brother Dennis

Answer
Yes this is true.

I assure you that I am also a true believer and I occasionally enjoy a movie. Sometimes they have content that I disagree with. It is much like the rest of the world that I live in.

If you feel that it is wrong for believers to go to the movies you definitely should not go.

Blessings,

Matthew.
