Well...the Church of Wells puts a picture of both Wesley and Spurgeon (along with others) at the top of their website; and the first thing listed is open-air preaching...so you tell us: cult or legit?

Considering what just happened in Charleston, this probably wasn't the smartest way to protest.
And what was the point? To say "shame on you Joel"? -

They are KJVO.
Now let me ask this. How effective do you think their heckling was? Do I think Joel Osteen needs heckling? No, I think he needs counseling/teaching about what a pastor is supposed to be preaching.
The Osteen church member who gave testimony as to the heckling - he said that he was frightened by them and was so glad the church security was there.
That "heckling" did nothing to win anyone for Jesus and it did nothing to sway anyone from the teaching of Joel Osteen. It just put a legitimate fear into the people and made them want to get under the wing of Osteen and his security.
It just pushed his congregants further into the trust of Osteen. -

I do not care for Osteen's ministry but this was inappropriate, unnecessary, and unChristian. It only worked to give the Kingdom of God a bad name. There was no discerning thought process that could lead up to something like this only emotionalism. This should be soundly condemned by all Christians.

Hope they are not developing into another Westboro.

It appears that the group of hecklers are from a cult-esque church and they decided to spend their Sunday going after Joel...well they spent ten minutes going after Joel and the rest of the day posting bond.
Their goal wasn't to actually confront Joel but to simply cause a scene.
So, instead of going about confrontation in a biblical manner they chose to make a scene. Sometimes civil disobedience has a point, much like in SC this past weekend, but this, well this was just plain foolishness. -
KJVO is the least of their issues in communicating the gospel. :eek: -

I will say this much, their manifesto, I scanned through some of it and read other portions, and their statement of faith, seem very solid. Although the KJVO is quite unsettling. :( :-/
