Quote from another Christian website:-
"The fundamentalist world is agog with rumors that Jack and Rexella Van Impe are contemplating converting to Catholicism. Who's next? Tammy Fay Bakker? Ernest Angley?"
Anyone else heard this or know anything about it?
Yours in Christ

Never heard anything about that. Whoa...
-
I recall Jack made some predictions that never came true,cant remember,counted it as dung.How can you go from false to more false?
-
He has been saying some very strange things lately. He was born & raised Catholic, wasn't he? Now he's contemplating going back if I understand it correctly.
-
Rumors.
You should know better to spread rumors.

Not exactly rumours: SEE HERE
Not necessarily a trustworthy source either, but very interesting nonetheless

This looks a littley fishy to me.
I think that Jack and Rexalla woulod have something on their television program if they were becoming Catholic. -
Quote from site:
Nevertheless, Jack Van Impe praised the last pope as a great man of God - so anything is possible. -
I was going through the channels and stopped on him couple of weeks ago .He was saying how some of the things the Blessed Mother said at Fatima has come true and quotes Popes alot .
-
I'm watching him right now and wouldn't you know it, Rexella just read a love letter written to them from a Catholic viewer.
Here is part of Jack's response to the letter:
1. The deity of Jesus
2. The virgin birth
3. Substitutionary death of Jesus
4. The bodily resurrection
5. The Second Coming
Now they're peddling Jack's new book and video. -
From the start of the program until the end, it was RCC praise.

Not a big JVI fan, but don't most RC's believe in the five essentials above? Also, isn't it true that the church until the 1500's was either east (orthodox) or west (catholic)?

For that first question, yes.
As for that 2nd one.
Well there were the Waldenses and you can seperate the east into 2 distinct branches, so it's slightly more complicated.
On the other hand the story about IFB churches (with their serial number filed off and replaced by a label like say Donatists) being around in the 4th century A.D. and earlier is while self-esteem building not true. -
I've been watching Jack on the Inspiration Network this week (what can I say?) and see no indication of conversion. In fact, he lays preterism squarely at the feet of the Jesuits.
But who can know? I saw Benny Hinn talking with a Latin Rite priest and a pentecostal "church historian" who made outrageous claims about early church history. Of course, David Cerullo was parroting comments about the Illuminati and such.
Since when did gullibility become a Christian virtue?
BTW, if the van Impes convert, I would consider it a gain for evangelicals and a headache for Benedict XVI. -
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Substitutionary death of Jesus?
-

He missed it on the post-trib rapture, too!
Could money play a role in this? Jack has a huge RC following. -
