Baëta explains in his book Christianity in Tropical Africa: “It is possible for an African to sing lustily in Church, ‘ Other refuge have I none ’, while still carrying an amulet somewhere on his person, or being able to go out of Church straight to his diviner, without feeling that he is betraying any principle. ” ​ — Compare Deuteronomy 18: 10 - 12 and 1 John 5: 21.
Baëta selgitab oma raamatus Christianity in Tropical Africa: „Aafriklase jaoks on võimalik laulda kirikus hoogsasti ’ Mul pole muud varjupaika ’ ja samal ajal kanda kuskil oma ihul amuletti või minna otse kirikust oma ennustaja juurde, tundmata sugugi, et ta mingit põhimõtet reedab. ” — Võrdle 5. Moosese 18: 10 — 12 ja 1. Johannese 5: 21.
