TV and Radio preaching

[S. Jensen]

What are your favorite TV and Radio preachers? Is there anyone you would recommend to a new baptist christian?

[HankD]

I like Dr Adrian Rogers. He is the pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis.
He has a TV ministry called Love Worth Finding. The man is a very gracious soul
yet firm in his doctrine and teaching (well, to me anyway). http://denig.com/christian/adrianrogers.html

SJ,
I would fine tune that station that God has directed you to, i.e., the church where you are at if it is a Gospel preaching, soul winning church. You cannot go wrong if you are under the Word of God. ;)

[HeDied4U]

Next to my pastor, I'd have to go with John MacArthur and Charles Stanley.

God Bless!!!

When I said I'm in the mountains I meant it.
It's almost impossible to pick up a decent radio station, & I don't watch t.v. so I do most of my listening on the internet.
Adrian Rogers is one of mine also, & Maze Jackson(he's graduated to heaven) you can find him on [URL=http://www.preacherscorner.org]

[4xBlessed]

I like Adrian Rogers, too.

Charles Stanley? Isn't he the preacher who said he'd never divorce his wife, but announced their separation or upcoming divorce last year?

[atestring]

My personal favorite is jesse Duplantis
he is hillarious and edifying.

I'm with HeDied4U! John MacArthur is very well educated in the Word and is backed up by the Holy Spirit! He is a wonderful preacher and gets you to really think, not just sit back and listen! I love his radio show "Grace to You"! Also, my old Pastor in Miami, Florida, Dr. Rick Blackwood, the Odyssey Channel (cable) is going to start broadcasting his service nationwide (which I am THRILLED about because I just love his teaching)! I believe that he will be on "The Baptist Hour" but I'm not certain. If anyone has a chance to check him out, please do so, you won't be sorry and you will greatly appreciate it! His preaching is more like being in college and he is the professor! Wonderful man of God!

I wouldn't recommend Jesse Duplantis to a Baptist because he's not a Baptist preacher. I guess he's charismatic because he's into all that weird charismatic stuff.

He'd be an awesome preacher if he'd just get it right.

[Psalm145 3]

Adrian Rogers and John MacArthur are both gifted pastor/teachers. Their radio programs are very edifying.

Also, here are some really good sermons on-line:
Bible Preaching in Real Audio (http://www.biblepreaching.com/)

There are no "great" Pastors, just a great God who uses unworthy people to preach.

1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

By the way, the new corrupt Bible perversions call God's message foolish, not the act of preaching. :eek:

[donnA]

I heard several years ago it was Charles Stanley's wife who wanted the divorce.
All I know is what was said by his ministry, which I don't think it right to repeat.
Who actually filed this time around I don't know. But his church wanted him to stay, so he did.

[MagicDar]

If you are a teenager I would suggest listening to Dawson McCalister Live, I think he's baptist but no matter he is incredible!

Also, I do favor Charles Stanley as well as Jesse Duplantis, he is a great preacher!! Since you are baptist though he may not be up your ally.

John Hagge (sp?) is another one, although I personally don't favor his style of preaching, he does preach truth so I would imagine any baptist would like him.

[Pastor KevinR]

Jesse Duplantis? He's one of the worse preachers out there! A couple of years ago I watched his video entitled, "Close Encounters of the God-Kind" and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! His theology was totally horrible as part of the "Faith Movement".He claimed that he had went to Heaven, and the Holy Spirit was not there, but on the Earth! I thought the Spirit is Omniscient!J.D. needs to read of Paul's experience who actually had a vision and kept quite and humble, unlike J.D., the Entertainer :mad:Note Paul's visions (revelations) and his comments in 2 Cor 12:6-10. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek:

[Pastor KevinR]

BTW, Personally I like John MacArthur and a program called, "The Bible Answer Man" heard accross the country @6:00PM EST. This program is based out of Ca, and is sponsored by the Christian Research Institute. Excellent ;)

[Dajuid]

I have found that you have to be VERY careful with many of the TV preachers. Though some of the things they preach about "seems" right on, it often times is not. I wish I could site specific examples, but I can't. That is why I will not state any names. The best thing to do is prove what they say against the word of God.

I refuse to watch the "Christian" tv station we receive. TBN. I would imagine many of the readers of this board get this channel. My reason is simple. Even though they may provide a few "good" programs, they also promote false teachers as well. Here I will state a name. Benny Hinn. I cannot support a station that yokes itself with that ilk. Unfortunately, the radio station I listen to is becoming very similar in that regards. Now, I only listen to the station during the times when I know a specific broadcast is on. I tried to do that with TBN, but they've gone too far in my opinion.

For others, this may not be an issue, however, I feel it is. No matter what route you take, it is important to ensure that the preacher you are listening to is preaching from the Word of God.

I really agree with Dajuid, there are some terrible "preachers" on the airwaves. I put Benny Hinn in my list of Worst. Along with John Haggee, Rod Parsley, Jesse Duplantis, Jeffery Dollar, Joice Myer, Pat Robertson, Kenneth Copeland and there's more.

I do really like Chuck Swindoll, Adrian Rogers and sometimes Charles Stanley.
I listen to Hank Hanegraaff almost everyday, but I disagree with him on some non-essential doctrines. I pray he will start taking an even stronger stand against the Charismatic Movement.
One of my favorite radio teachers is J.V. McGee. He is very good! He is now in heaven.
And Bob George is excellent as well.

I really have a problem with John MacArthur. Perhaps it would be wise to start a thread just on his teachings. I like that he is against the Pentecostal movement, but that's about it. He is Hyper-Calvinist, holds to Lordship Salvation, and his whole teaching on the gospel according to Jesus is wrong. A careful examination of his teaching will result in a conclusion that he does teach a works salvation.

With love,

Chet

Chet,
Are you saying you disagree with John MacArthur when he says that Jesus is Lord of our lives (Lordship Salvation)? Please explain.

It seems that many who have responded, so far, have recommended J. MacArthur. Anyone else have any comments on MacArthur?

Thanks.

[Kathy]

I agree about TBN, I refuse to watch it. redface.gif

[Chet]

S. Jenson, thanks so much for asking.

I think back about three years ago when I was able to lead a young man about 22 years old to the Lord. Boy does he have a great life changing testimony. I also discipled him in the early stages of his Bible studies. He was a very sharp man, understood things very well. I had a list of people for him to listen to on the radio, John MacArthur was not on my list. But he listened anyway :cool: He would come into work and ask me questions about his teachings, that were contrary to what I was showing him the bible taught. Especially concerning Salvation. This greatly bothered me.

John MacArthur teaches salvation from the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5-8. In that sermon Jesus was speaking to the Nation of Israel about a earthly kingdom, not about salvation. Nowhere in that sermon does Jesus mention the cross or offer the plan of Salvation, which is to believe. Matthew presents Jesus as the King of Israel. John MacArthur fails greatly in the dividing of the Scripture.
Here is a brief (real brief) overview of John MacArthur's veiw of Salvation:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1. Must Repent from your sins. You MUST turn from them before you can receive salvation.
2. You must recognize His Lordship, which means you are willing to submit to Him as He is Lord, thus making Him master of your life
3. Which then proceeds the act of obedience to Him.
4. Which all ties into believing on Him but this can't happen unless the above happens[/list].

I believe the true Gospel according to Jesus is simple...Believe...

I want to answer your question about Lordship Salvation. I believe strongly without question that Jesus is Lord. But I do not believe that the way of Salvation teaches that the lost must first accept His Lordship in their lives before they can believe. Jesus offers Himself to us as a Savior, not as our Lord. We must submit to his saving grace, not obey Him in Lordship. Once we have been saved, then we recognize Jesus more and more through the Spirt, as Lord. I believe this can only happen after we receive the Spirit of God, after Salvation.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

For a very well written book on this exact subject I would suggest Charles Ryrie's SO GREAT SALVATION. You can purchase it on the following link

Jessie Duplantis seems to be one of the most mentioned names, but I don't think so. Seems like there are more jokes than bible. He can be entertaining, but I don't think he is a good preacher. MacArthur is one of the best preacher/teacher alive. I like Hagee, I think he preaches the truth. Rob Morgan of Donelson Fellowship in Nashville Tn is a great preacher.

[Jimmy]

I injoy lisening to Dr. James Scudder,Zola Levit,Ben Hayden. Though Levit and Hayden are not baptist what I have seen has alway been scriptural. I also still listen to Dr. Charles Stanley though I believe his preaching has suffered since the divorce. :(

[MagicDar]

The Tv ministries that are shown on my screen are ..Joyce Meyers (love her) Richard and Lindsay Roberts (they've blessed me so much)...and radio would be Dawson McCalister Live...I also wish Eastman Curtis had a radio or tv ministry...I would be tuned in 24/7. If you are a teenager, I would also suggest the late night tv ministry of Al Denson (ccm singer) -dar

Chet, you'd best check out the hyper-calvinism thread, for you are apparently confused as to what hyper-calvinism is.

[4xBlessed]

I used to watch Hagee all the time, but quit when I saw him being a hypocrite. He would preach about the wrongness of some of the stuff going on in the charismatic churches, but later had one of his cruise-ship things with Kenneth Copeland.

Lucy

[Bob Alkire]

J. Vernon McGee, Ben Hayden, Oliver B. Green and Adrian Rodgers. Not bad two are here and two have gone home.

[MagicDar]

Ok..I'm not a big fan of the guy myself, but just because Haggee had Copeland on his ship does that mean he had to agree with him 100%? Could it be that the man just enjoyed the fellowship and company of another christian? hmmm ;) -dar

[Dajuid]

Quotes of a Television Preacher loved by some on this particular post. Try and guess who the person was that said these?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The [Jewish] people wanted Him to be their Messiah, but He absolutely refused. The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah, it was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The Jewish people have a relationship to God through the law of God as given through Moses. I believe that every Gentile person can only come to God through the cross of Christ. I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The law of Moses is sufficient enough to bring a person into the knowledge of God until God gives him a greater revelation. And God has not.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

As far as T.V. evangelists are concerned, the grand majority are opportunistic money loving heathens that use the name of Christ for nothing but ill gain even at the expense of peoples souls.
A Godly radio preacher preaches his messages ffrom the Bible and not from his feelings. If he doesn't back up his message with scripture, that will be your fist clue to tune him out. Before you start listening to them you need to learn basic Biblical truths from your church. That will keep you from getting indoctrinated by radio preachers that twist the truth. :eek:

[the 'I AM' hath sent me]

Hi, I am a Baptist. I was a pentecostal for about a year.

I had to comment on Jesse D. He is way out on a limb. I would almost consider him one of the false teachers spoken of in the Bible.
His ministry is all about making a person feel good and laugh. Nothing about salvation and repentence. The first time I ever heard him I knew something was wrong.

Charles Stanley, I don't know too much about him. But I will say I don't think a person who gets a divorce unless it is for the reasons specified in the Bible, should be a pastor.

John Hegee, I would agree. I enjoy his preaching. And he does preach the truth. So far since I've been listening and watching.

But get this, him and ole Jesse D. are friends. Kind of makes you wonder if John H. is all that he seems to be.

I would suggest Chuck Swindel and Billy Graham. Also David Jeremiah.

But I'd have to say the best Pastor anywhere is Jesus Christ Himself.

God Bless you,
Kenneth
:D

[MagicDar]

LOL so what if John and Jesse are friends? My mother in law is IFB as well as kjvonly and I am very charismatic but not only are we in laws but we're also friends with each other and the best thing we have in common is Jesus Christ himself. We can have very different beliefs and still be friends with each other and I would hope thats the case since we're also related in Jesus. ;) -dar

[War_Eagle]

A couple of you guys said that you have a hard time listening to radio preachers because of radio reception.

I just wanted to let you all know that an excellent place to hear preaching over the internet is http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/

There are roughly 100 of the more popular "media ministries" to choose from including many of those mentioned here (minus the WOF'ers).

[Ransom]

My favourite radio preacher is "Brother Stair," (http://www.overcomerministry.com/) the so-called "Last Day Prophet of God" broadcasting out of Walterboro, SC.

Hey, no one said our favourite had to tell us anything useful. But he sure is entertaining!

(My favourite useful radio preacher is John MacArthur, hands down.)
