    Just a simple question, I was curious about this.

    After I was Born Again, but before I went to a Protestant Church for the first time, I listened (and still do) to several different preachers. Among the more famous ones were Phil Robertson (Churches of Christ), Chuck Smith (Calvary Chapel), Leonard Ravenhill, Charles Stanley, Paul Washer, John Piper, Shane Idleman (Non-Denom Conservative Christian).

    I also listen to Presbyterian, Methodist and Mennonite Preachers. Does anybody else do the same? Do you stick within your own specific circles? Just curious, I don't have family members who are Evangelicals, so I'm not sure what the "norm" is.

    I don't regularly listen, but I will do so if a particular topic is addressed that is interesting to me at the time.

    Sometimes I don't make it through the sermon, especially if I realize it's going nowhere, though.

    Do I listen? Not often. But if we expand out to reading, then yes, I enjoy reading articles from individuals from many different denominations and traditions.

    There's an awful lot of junk out there, so you do need to use discretion. I would take advice from your church leaders. Having said that, don't limit yourself to one denomination. One of my favourite preachers is Joel Beeke (Presbyterian).

    Short answer - yes, including books. However, I agree with the above that there should be discretion.

    I have listened to sermons from preachers and pastors from other denominations but I don't make it a habit.

    Agree on the junk, as need to avoid charasmatic teachers at all costs!
    And have learned from ohers teachers/pastors, such as John Macarthur, RCSproul, Chareles Stanley, J Veron Mcgee, chuck swindoll, and don't think they all agree on all tings same!

    Most of us do to an extent.

    There have been several threads about the theological richness of old hymns, and so many originated outside the Baptist denomination. And not only do we listen to those messages, but we fellowship through them corporately. We lay aside those doctrines that separate us into denominations and openly praise God through messages delivered in song from Lutherans, Methodists, and Presbyterians. Not only that, but we often hold those hymns closely, as if they originated within churches like our own. Perhaps this is the one area we remain united in Christ yet separate in doctrine.

    Here are some of my favorites:

    A Mighty Fortress is Our God - Lutheran
    O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing - Methodist
    Amazing Grace -Anglican
    And to mark the season Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Methodist

    Thank God for those such as Reformed and Baptists that gave to us the great doctrines of the Faith!

    I have but don't like to listen to messages as I get too distracted. I should try that when I'm running or walking but then again, I don't like having headphones in when I'm out exercising. :)

    Do you listen to preachers from other denominations?

    Yes, if they're saying the right things. +
    Isn't something wrong with that statement?

    Out of curiosity, you do know Jon that in the past, there were different types of Methodists....not all were Wesleyan. For example George Whitefield & later Martyn Lloyd-Jones were both Calvinist Methodists.

    Yes, Whitefield served under Selina Hastings, foundress of The Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion:

    I enjoy listening to Dr. J. Vernon McGee and Pastor Chuck Smith on a local radio station where I live during my lunch hour. They've both passed on but were excellent Bible teachers, and their lessons are still very popular. <><

    Other denominations, yes. I have several Presbyterians and Lutherans on my ipod.

    The only non-Reformed/Calvinist preacher (I won't call him an Arminian because people always get upset when I do) I have on my ipod is Adrian Rogers.
