Your church may be a Calvary Chapel

With the recent changes at Calvary Chapel there's an acceleration in the number of Calvary Chapels with different names. There's a distinct need to identify if your church is a Calvary Chapel:
  • If your pastor think’s he’s Moses, your church may be a Calvary Chapel… 
  • If your church won’t let you see the books, your church may be a Calvary Chapel… 
  • If your church has a handpicked board of “yes men”, your church may be a Calvary Chapel… 
  • If your church pretends to love the Bible, but mocks doctrine, your church may be a Calvary Chapel… 
  • If your church doesn’t believe in religious symbols, except a 1970′s wooden dove in the front, your church may be a Calvary Chapel… 
  •  If the "What we teach (or believe)" on your church bulletin says "We believe the worship of God should be spiritual" but your church doesn't have people exercising the gifts of the spirit, your church may be a Calvary Chapel...
  • If your church participates in Harvest Crusades, but doesn't do anything else locally with other churches, your church may be a Calvary Chapel...
  • If your pastor doesn't teach the resurrection of the body, your church may be a Calvary Chapel...
  • If your church bookstore has 20 tapes on the Anti-Christ and none on the Trinity, your church may be a Calvary Chapel... 
  • If your pastor claims to "teach simply through the Bible" but always seems to end up back on his pet peeves which aren't in the passages for the week, your church may be a Calvary Chapel...
 Feel free to contribute and I will add to this list.
