    The one who didn't take the opportunity to let everyone in attendence know he trusted Jesus as his Saviour. Go figure.

    And what makes you think this "one" is the only "one" in that place who trusted Jesus as his Savior ?

    As I do not care who it is. But this is not simply a matter of preference. Refusing to name Christ so as not to offend is a grave issue. And bears more weight than abortion, adultery or homosexuality.

    Charles Stanley has his own issues since he supports ME. I no longer consider anything he says. Very saddening.

    And what makes you think that some one who knows Jesus as his Saviour would intentionally omit praying in His name except he either was ashamed or afraid?

    Maybe he just forgot?:laugh:

    Ravi disappointed me.

    Is he compromising? The answer is quite obvious.

    Of course you do. However, we discuss what others are doing all the time. Some want to take it to the point of attacking the family and tearing them down instead of addressing doctrine. But that has not happened here in this thread.

    Doctrine is open to discussion but personal attacks because someone preaches against ones pet sins is a different matter.

    I think it is important

    I personally appreciate threads like this because we are to be very careful and test all that someone teaches. Knowing that Ravi compromised is enough for me to avoid him and his teachings, as well as not recommend his ministry to anyone.

    This is a compromise, but I would not go as far as not recommending his ministry to anyone.

    I've listened to countless lectures by Ravi.

    Ravi is one of the greatest minds in evangelicalism.

    I've read several of his books. His "Jesus Among Other Gods" won the Gold Medallion Award, and it's a brilliant defense of the Jesus of Nazareth.

    Have you listened to his "The Uniqueness of Jesus"?

    His defense of the Christian Faith at the Harvard Veritas is among the best ever.

    But he compromised.

    I have always appreciated his ministry. But this is something to keep an eye. As well as anyone else that was involved in that event that condones this. I do not think he was necessarily alone in this.

    Revmitchell,

    You still haven't answered my question.

    What was so wrong for Ravi to speak at the Mormon Tabernacle?

    The article would not come up on my computer.


    Not sure what you mean...I think it's an attack on me, but I'm not sure, so I'll let it slide.

    My comments earlier allude to your habit of posting often times inflammatory articles--some that are not even factually correct....just to stir up stuff. You know you do it, and you should be ashamed of it.

    It is too bad, isn't it..

    It is too bad....there are other teachers from whom I have benefited in the past, but who compromise towards the end of their ministries...there must be quite a bit of pressure to do so, perhaps.

    Could it be that he was yoking up with non-believers?

    And yet you were willing to post an inflammatory and accusatory post without any knowledge of the article.


    Well Good.

    You assign motive you cannot back up and is untrue. But it is apparent that you do not like the criticism of doctrine of some specific people in any form. And as far as the articles being factually incorrect there are those who picked on small matters not relevent to the reason for the op.

    Oh, you're right. It's OK to propagate falsehoods if it supports your position. :rolleyes:

    Somethings incorrect are hinest mistakes and especially when they have nothing to do with the heart of the articel like whether or not someone is SBC.

    He was preaching about Jesus Christ. I didn't know evangelism was wrong.

    So once again.....
