Photo of church members lying on the floor as pastor steps in causes stir

 Facebook user Clement Ntukogu who shared this photo didn't state the church where this happened but it has caused a huge stir among people who believe this should never happen.
Clement wrote:

PASTORS ARE NOW GODS! 

At the entrance of a pastor, the whole congregation are expected to lie on the floor. And in other churches, they are expected to stand on their feet. This is NOT the Christianity that Christ and His apostles had taught in the Bible but it's Christianity invented by man. 

"And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and
worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man" Acts 10:25-26. 

"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God" - Revelation 22:8-9. 

Today, Christians have loss their sense of reasonings and have become so stupid to practice nonsense in order to please their pastors. What a shame!
