=== Religious Test for Office? (03:12) ===

[00:00:00]  This is so serious.
[00:00:01]  Yes.
[00:00:02]  This is saying, and this is what he's saying, that you cannot believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[00:00:10]  You cannot believe that he's the only way.
[00:00:12]  And it means this is a litness test for you to run for office.
[00:00:17]  Article 6 of the Constitution prohibits a religious test for public office.
[00:00:23]  That's right.
[00:00:24]  And this is saying that you cannot have this job.
[00:00:28]  He said, this makes you basically unacceptable.
[00:00:33]  Is that what you got from that?
[00:00:34]  Yes.
[00:00:35]  And what Bernie Sanders was doing is exactly what I was saying.
[00:00:40]  And then we saw the clip of Governor Huckabee saying, it is an attempt to destroy the truth of what this nation stands for.
[00:00:48]  You just read right from the Constitution, no religious test.
[00:00:51]  Yet Bernie Sanders puts a religious test and said, well, because you believe Christian beliefs, you're ineligible to serve in America.
[00:00:59]  That's not what this country is about.
[00:01:01]  Excuse me.
[00:01:01]  90% of our founding fathers were Christians and or at least Bible-believing men who wanted this nation founded upon the Word of God with the Judeo-Christian concept.
[00:01:12]  Not a Muslim concept, not a Buddhist concept, not a Hindu concept, not an atheist concept, but with a Judeo-Christian biblical concept of who we are.
[00:01:22]  Bernie Sanders said, that's not who we are.
[00:01:24]  He applied a religious test.
[00:01:26]  He just broke the law, but nobody's going to say anything about it.
[00:01:31]  So if you find yourself in a position like this gentleman was before Bernie Sanders and you're being asked these kinds of questions, this is something I use all the time.
[00:01:40]  I'm very blessed to be in the media a lot, do a lot of radio interviews, et cetera.
[00:01:44]  And people ask me stuff like this.
[00:01:45]  I mean, I get grilled like this.
[00:01:47]  And here's how I do it, unashamedly.
[00:01:50]  The first thing I say is, first let me make this clear.
[00:01:55]  I am a Christian, so I come from a biblical worldview.
[00:02:00]  And so I say, I don't know, apparently you come from a secular worldview or an Islamic worldview or whatever.
[00:02:06]  And you have a right to do that in America.
[00:02:08]  I have a right to come from a biblical worldview.
[00:02:10]  So you're asking me, do I think that Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, unbelievers, that they need Jesus Christ as Savior too?
[00:02:19]  That's what you're asking me.
[00:02:21]  I come from a biblical worldview.
[00:02:23]  I can tell you what the Word of God says.
[00:02:25]  Acts 4, 12, salvation is found in no one else.
[00:02:28]  There's no other name given among men under heaven whereby you must be saved but the name of Jesus.
[00:02:33]  Now that's what the Bible says.
[00:02:35]  I can tell you what 1 John chapter 5 verse 11 says.
[00:02:39]  He who has not the Son has not the Father and has not the life.
[00:02:44]  And so, sir, that's my answer because I come from a biblical worldview.
[00:02:48]  I'm sure you have a different answer, sir, because you come from a different worldview.
[00:02:53]  And in America, we get to have those differences of opinions and nobody goes to jail today.

=== America Works (00:17) ===

[00:02:59]  And I get to serve in a government position with my view.
[00:03:03]  You get to serve in a government position with your view because in our government positions, it's illegal for us to impose our views upon the people that we serve.
[00:03:12]  That's how America works.
