Exactly! And this is why I believe many Christians become disillusioned: their favorite preacher lets them down and they crumble because their faith was misdirected. Our faith should be in Christ and him alone!

Of course, we should look to "Christ and him alone!" That goes without saying. The Bible also teaches us to "obey the ones leading you and submit to them, and to be subject to elders." This does not mean that we "put our faith" in our leaders. There is a huge difference between believing into the Lord and submitting to human leaders. These are two very different matters which our "unregistered guest" has confused.

So you don't believe some Christians faith is misdirected and is for all intent and purposes in their favorite preacher instead of Christ and/or in addition to Christ?
