I was in the hot sun for 6 hours passing out gospel tracts.. not one person asked me why they deserved hell...but a professing Christian said he didn't like my shirt. hmmmm....maybe i'm doing it wrong.
Baal is still very much an idol today. And if our repentance is to be complete, we have to tear this idol down. Otherwise, it won't matter how much we cry out to God, pray or fast. None of our actions will have any impact whatsoever, until we pull down the idol that has taken hold of so many hearts.
You may ask, "So, what is this Baal? Where do I see it at work? How could an ancient false god be present in our modern society?"
In our enlightened age, we can't imagine any intelligent person bowing down to a carved idol. Certainly, there are still heathen religions that use such images in worship, including Buddhism, Hare Krishna and Hinduism. But whether the idol is Baal, Buddha or any of the millions of Hindu gods, the same demonic spirit is behind it, A powerful spirit .
And this spirit is sent forth from hell for one purpose: to cause people to doubt the reality of God.
It is a spirit of unbelief, plain and simple. And it assaults our minds with doubts about God's faithfulness.
Without question, unbelief is an idol. It bends you down in submission to its power. And it opens up your soul to all kinds of evil.
The Baal spirit of unbelief moves in and sets up an altar.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Quatrain 94 (Translation 4)
Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before
I swore but was I sober when I swore?
And then and then came Spring, and Rose-in-hand
My thread-bare Penitence apieces tore.
