"Salvation!" is a 1987 film by Beth B. (Beth Billingsly) and starring Exene Cervenka and Stephen McHattie. The film is a spoof of televangelism released right after the real-life Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart scandals.

McHattie plays Reverend Randall, a Staten Island-based televangelist who has been bilking his flock and secretly watches pornography while he is rehearing his sermons in his stately home. Cervenka plays Rhonda Stample, a born again believer. After Rhonda's husband, a non-believer, loses his factory job, he and two cousins enlist Rhonda in a plot to entrap Rev. Randall in a sex scandal and blackmail him.

The film's theme music is by the group New Order, who also contributed a further four original pieces to the soundtrack including "Touched by the Hand of God".

Tagline: SEX. POWER. MONEY. All in the name of God
* This film is only available on VHS.
