Me too! Just last week I read something that gave credence to Tony Campolo. I don't know anything about him, but I automatically wondered what Gerald's take on him would be. I definitely respect his opinion and he's hit the nail on the head more times than any of us could count.

GC's take on most any ministry is a thumbs down! knock on wood, don't want to wake any slumbering giants! :)

Tony Campolo is very liberal. :)

Jennifer! I think that might be a gross generalization. :shock:

I still think that does not accurately represent Gerald's views: his disdain is focused upon the crazy fringes of pentecostalism -- Word of Faith excesses, and the like.

I think Gerald is more right than wrong.He does not like the way some people do things in the name of The Lord,I think he is right on ,when giving information on the WOF people.

Gerald,you are missed.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made the statement, he isn't here so it may be unfair. I'm trying to be good, I really am!

You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

But you have never heard my pastor preach, nor me.......so don't judge every one the same just because they may seem the same. i.e. Susan Boyle :lol:

Yet, he has stated here himself at times that because of these very things he is about ready to give up on Pentecostals all together. This is why I chose not to make the distinction.

This has always been my take on it also.

OK, we've discussed his beliefs enough now, anyone know where he is? how he's doing? I think that was more the point of this thread, and the more important question.
