Actor and Born-again Christian Stephen Baldwin was arrested for driving with a suspended license in Harlem Thursday evening.
“The Usual Suspects” star was behind the wheel of his 2000 Lexus SUV on W. 125th St. when he was spotted making the illegal turn between 7th and Lenox, cops said.
He was taken to the 28th Precinct station house, where he was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation and making an illegal U-turn and given a desk appearance ticket.
Baldwin, the younger brother of “30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin, may have been on his way to Orangetown, N.Y., where he tweeted from after the incident.
“I saw a whole new level in the warfare today, intense but not compared to what’s coming … Fear not. I am a weapon ! Are you ? 2 Cor 10,” he mysteriously wrote at 8:53 p.m.
“praying!” he added hours later.

In Alec Baldwin’s “tweet,” “2 Cor 10″ refers to 2nd Corinthians 10 in the Bible, the second epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, which appears in English in the King James version as follows:
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
10
Paul’s Defense of His Ministry
1
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2
but I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4
(for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
5
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6
and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7
¶ Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11
Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13
¶ But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
14
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you; for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15
not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
16
to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
17
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Jer. 9.24
18
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
