Oh well, who can leave it at 10, anyway?!

 

I apologize that I as a non-baptist posted my favorite preachers on this forum. I'm still new to this board and was thinking the general was general but didn't notice that its really general baptist discussion.

I won't be changing my mind on my favorite preachers as I do enjoy them and what they teach and am blessed by them.

I must say however, I am a bit disappointed in how I and or others are considered to be "cluttering up" the board with our interests. I in no way am trying to start an argument over the type of preachers I like but was simply and totally innocently posting something that I thought was kind of fun and neat to see who others listen to.

Again, I apologize for offending anyone on this thread, which was not my honest heart's intent. -dar

 

Dear MagicDar,

You said, "I won't be changing my mind on my favorite preachers as I do enjoy them and what they teach and am blessed by them."

I'm disappointed. I thought that you, like myself, are seeking the truth. Hank Hanegraaff says that "these" (see his list in my previous post) preach "the skin of the truth filled with lies and deceit." That's a very dangerous environment to get caught up in. Please heed these words:

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders (does Benny Hinn come to mind); insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. (Mat 24:24-25 KJV)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

 

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Ransom:
Gotta have 10, eh?

Let's see - in no particular order . . .

1. 
   <LI>Charles Haddon Spurgeon (hands down winner)
   <LI>John F. MacArthur Jr.
   <LI>D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
   <LI>Jonathan Edwards
   <LI>J. I. Packer
   <LI>John Piper
   <LI>John Calvin

Well, 7 is close enough.

Ransom:

Add Alistair Begg, R.C. Sproul and the late Jim Boice and you've got quite a ten!

 

wellsjs, The problem I have is this. My doctrinal stands are most likely bound to disagree with the guy who wrote that book which means I won't agree with how he views the preachers I personally appreciate, that doesn't mean I'm not seeking truth, it simply means that we have different doctrinal stands. I won't go into these stands seeing that this board is a baptist board and I do not wish to offend others, but wanted to respond to your post. -dar

Drat, forgot all about Sproul and Boice (meant to add them, too!), which would have given me a pretty decent 9.

I've heard of Begg, but I've never heard him preach or read anything by him, so at this time he doesn't really qualify.

 

1) Scott Hafemann (see Commentary on II Corinthians in the NIV Application series. New book: The God of Promise and the Life of Faith.)

2) Norman Ericson (Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College)

3) Augustine

4) Charles Ryrie

5) Rod Bodmer (my growing up Pastor)

6) Peter O'Brien (commentaries on Phillipians, Collasions, Philemun, Ephesians)

7) John Piper

8) Jill Prisco (obviously not a pastor (though her husband is) but an enormasly influential women whose heart for the Lord is unmeasured)

9) William Mounce (Biblical Greek and Commentary on the Pastorals)

They have some different theology, but they all love Jesus with everything they've got.

 

Here goes (in no particualr order):

1) Steve Brown

2) Ed Young

3) Adrian Rodgers

4)Jeff Rees - my old pastor. Unfortunately I didn't realize what a great preacher he was until I left that church.

5) Joe Foche

6) Tony Campolo

7) Joe Stowell

8) Chuck Swindoll

9) Woodrow Krol (sp?)

 

MagicDar,

If you won't read the book, go to CRI's website and do a search on Benny Hinn or one of your other favorites. Mr. Hanegraaff quotes what these people say. If you can discern good theology from bad, they are "hung by their own tongues !" You may have listened to them and gotten caught up in their very effective techniques and not picked up on their errancy.

If you search the CRI sight or read the suggested book, and still have no warning flags raised, then I lovingly suggest you seek tutelage under a discerning mentor.

 

wellsjs, I'm sorry but I disagree with you on this. I am not interested in reading the opinons of another man who is taking his own interpretation of the pastors beliefs. I do my best to stay away from these types of views, but thanks anyway. -dar

 

1 Timothy 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1. Pastor Bob Logan (Westside Baptist, Janesville WI)
2. John MacArthur
3. Adrian Rogers
4. Dave Hunt
5. David Cloud
6. D.A. Waite
7. J.Vernon McGee
8. David Gibbs
9. Maze Jackson
10. Spurgeon
11. Charles Stanley

I used to watch Jack VanImpe until I noticed how much he praises the pope.

There are no great preachers, just a great God who uses unworthy people to preach His Word!

 

Interesting I did not see any of these listed:
1. Dr. Peter S. Ruckman
2. Clarence Larkin
3. Scofield
I believe they are (or were) Baptists?

 

First, I'd have to agree with Psalm 145 3.
That there are no Great preachers, only the Great God using vessels to spread the message. Except Christ Jesus Himself, He was is and always will be a Great Preacher.

1. Jesus CHrist-my Lord and Saviour
2. Johnny Dyer Jr. (my pastor)
3. Chuck Swindall
4. John R. Rice (never heard only read)
5. D.L. Moody
6. David Jeremiah
7. Bruce Wilkenson
8. Tony Evans
9. Maze Jackson
10.Paul, Peter, John(beloved), Luke, etc.
11. Jim Howard

These were in no particular order, except #1.

Would it be alright to include- John Hagee?
Haven't heard all of his sermons, but what I've heard I like.

 

Interesting thread.

Jesus Christ

Paul

Gerald McDaniel

John Phillips

Charles Ryrie

Warren Wiersbe

Harry Ironside

Michael Catt

William MacDonald

 

Dr Bob,
Wow! You were pretty tough on MagicDar! Too much caffeine? You know you are drinking too much coffee when you wear a T-shirt that says, "Decaf is the Devils Coffee!"

MagicDar,
Be careful about having a closed mind. I don't know about you, but, I found out many times I thought I was right but was wrong. Have you ever sat at a stop light on a slope?
You have you foot on the brake. All of a sudden your car starts rolling backwards. YOU STAND ON YOUR BRAKE! Fear strikes your heart as your car KEEPS rolling backwards. Then you discover you aren't moving at all. It was the guy next to you creeping forward. You thought you were moving, but WERE NOT! You JUST KNEW the perception you had was correct, but you were wrong! I've had that appen to me and it was so REAL, no one (at the time) could have convinced me otherwise. If you are SO CONVINCED you are correct, then you can have no harm come to you by looking at the big picture (the other guy who is moving)! I appeal to your good logic to just review what others say about your heroes. I have learned much in life by doing that!
God Bless you!
Pastor Bob

 

MagicDar,

That's exactly the attitude Satan wants you to have!

 

Anyone have any comments about Erwin Lutzer from Moody Church?????

 

Al Janney
John R. Rice
W.A. Criswell
R.G.Lee
Adrian Rogers
Oliver B. Greene
J. Vernon McGee
Bill Rice
G.B. Vick
B.R. Lakin

 

Yes, "S Jensen," Dr. Erwin Lutzer is fine, why do you ask?

 

Dr. Bob

Of the change I've seen in Tony Campolo, we will see if our salvation is eternal? He used to sound like a christian, now he sounds more like a socialist and anti American. I do believe in eternal security of the believer.
Tony's teachings scares me.
