Not a fan of Robert Jeffress, but...
Mitt Romney has called Robert Jeffress a ‘religious bigot,’ says he is the wrong man to give Jerusalem embassy prayer.
Actually it is Romney who is calling for someone to meet a religious test in order to be qualified to represent the U.S. (in this case, as someone who gives a prayers). What is Jeffress's religious bigotry? He believes that salvation is only through Jesus Christ.
"'Historic Christianity has taught for 2,000 years that salvation is through faith in Christ alone. The fact that I, along with tens of millions of evangelical Christians around the world, continue to espouse that belief, is neither bigoted nor newsworthy,' Jeffress said."
