Bro.s and other parties with an ear to hear. 

      I don't think some people understand what  "taking the Lords name
in vain" really is.You CANNOT take the lords name in vain with
language!!!!!
   We do not even get access  to the Lords name until we're born (again) 
            A baby has no legal or practical use of his parents name
until he/she is born and living. When do we take on the name of the lord.
when do we have the right to use his name either vainly or to
edification. When  it is called on us. When we  are baptized in water in
Jesus name . Baptism in water and spirit are one act they cannot be
separated.If you have one without the other , then you are still just in
the womb. BUT if you don't continue living unto him whose name you have
taken, Then you have taken his name in vain.This then is very serious
business. 
    Make no mistake , yes there is such a thing as filthy communication.
There is such a thing as words seasoned with salt. There are words
fittley spoken as Apples of gold in pictures of silver. However they have
nothing to do with taking the Lords name in vain . Also calling sin , sin
is not in Any case improper. 
Since when does the world tell me how to preach? Never . The more they
say be nice : the harder I'm going to preach.
