In my judgement, yes, but I'm a lumper not a splitter. But that doesn't mean all of African Christianity is the same or that its even different from Christianity elsewhere.


You certainly didn't make a distinction of what kind of Christian your AK-47 wielding pastors were. They are the kind that recognize the need to defend oneself against maddog killers. Sometimes you have to arm yourself:

....
And He said to them, "When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?"

So they said, "Nothing."

Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: 'And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end."

So they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."

And He said to them, "It is enough." " (Luke 22:35-38, NKJV)
