The hellfire, the brimstone, are not commercial continuity. 
  If said preacher, in his preaching, changes the content to 
promoting products and services of an underwriter/sponsor 
*then* he aired a commercial.

Gray area sidebar: nonprofit program producers who offer 
helps and aids on their broadcasts are legal.  Probably 
follows the concept of the proverbial college bookstore 
selling books for college courses.
