No, the implication is that if a church is to avoid taxes it should be run for secular benefit. Otherwise it should be taxed like everyone else.
We help the secular and the believers. If the Southern Baptist Church Relief did not exist, and the U.S. government had to make up for it it would cost them billions. I can't say for sure but I would believe that we help more secular people than believers, our people are already in the Philippines. They are always staged close if there's time.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
