Is there ANY present evangelist that is acceptable to the Baptist Board?

They should quote who they are responding to but that's not always done. You have to read back and try to figure it out or just post and ask them. In this case, I think he's referring to Kennedy, mentioned in the post immediately above Eaglewing's comment.

BTW, welcome to the BB!

I thought this was a Baptist board. Okay, Billy Graham claims Baptist roots and has personally affiated with First Baptist Church of Dallas, but Fulton Sheen???, a theological liberal, Presbyterians like MacArthur and Kenedy, Wilkerson is Assemblies of God. Then why not Paula White or T.D. Jakes ....come on!

God has given fundamental Baptists a great group of BAPTIST evangelists to feed, challenge and encourage the church. In addition to some already mentioned such as Tim Lee, Paul Levin, Clyde Box, how about Glen Jaspers, Dave Jaspers, Reuben Ewert, Bill Rice, Joe Mark, Mike Pelletier, John Goetsch, Charles Sanders, and many more.

Wow. I had no idea John MacArthur was Presbyterian. I just started listening to him recently and so far haven't heard anything contradictory to what I believe as a Baptist so had no way of know. For some reason I thought he was a Baptist. I actually think he came recommended from someone here who I'm pretty sure is a Baptist.

Guess it's time to move on. You didn't tell me on purpose but thanks for letting me know.

MacArthur ain't no Presbyterian. He's a Calvinist, but not a Presby.

 

[Dr. Bob]

MacArthur is a pre-trib dispensational reformed BAPTIST. And a hero of mine. Don't malign a good Baptist. To link such to Catholic Bishop Fulton Sheen is a travesty or sheer ignorance.

BTW, Los Angeles Baptist College (formerly GARBC, now called Master's College and Seminary), of which Mac is the President, is still a strong Baptist program.

Interesting about MacArthur. Thanks for any information provided here. When someone said he is Presbyterian I, too, was surprised. Anyone else have anything to add about John MacArthur?

Re: D. James Kennedy

Maybe he does, but he is Presbetrian.

He's a free presbyterian, who immerses, more Baptistic than some on this board who carry the name.

He has a gift of oration thats for sure, perhaps a little too much political activism for my taste, but I do hear alot I agree with.

Joe Mark was always one of my favorites, Paul Caughill, Steve Piggot too. Steve Petit has a very talented group of musicians that travel with him, Dave Jaspers spoke at a mens conference here in MI last month and was great.

My personal favorite is Dr. Phil Kidd.
Most folk can't take his hard-line preaching. He preaches gun-barrel straight with no apologies. Then again, he says some things that are meant to be sarcastic or funny and people get upset with him because they take him so literally. If you have never heard him preach, but would like to, go to www.baptistbibletrumpet.com and listen to him as well as several other great preachers.

Not trying to slam your fave evangeliest here, but Phil Kidd is the biggest racist I have ever heard. Racism is NOT a Christlike behavior. I have heard some very derogatory remarks come from that man's mouth.

Is anyone else on here familiar with his behavior?

Thank you, Dr. Bob! I actually like him a lot and am glad now that I can continue to listen to him.

MacArthur is a pretrib, dispensational, Calvinist for sure, but he is not really a Baptist, nor a Presbyterian. He is of the "Bible church" persuasion and they do distinguish themselves from Baptists. He repudiates congregationalism and believes in a self-perpetuating board of elders to run a local church, which may be fine ... but it is certainly not Baptist.

He is a good speaker and solid theologian for the most part, and does not deserve to be placed in the category with some of these other bozos that are being listed.

 

[AVL1984]

FBCPW, I'm very familiar with his behaviour. I have found many Christians that like his style and his teaching. I for one do not. I find his attitude towards other races not only unscriptural, but more on the order of the of Matt Hale in E. Peoria, Illinois in the World Church of the Creator.

 

[Pastor Larry]

FTR, MacArthur's school is a non-denominational school.

Concur 100%. A reproach on the name of Christ.

 

[WallyGator]

Listen! Don't get personal.
My dog is named BOZO and I think you hurt his feelings.

 

[mickd7]

Dr.Bob, I know I should not ask but is there anyone out there other than a Baptist that you admire and think is a good Christian.

 

[Dr. Bob]

Sure. In some areas a number of Christians have my admiration and I think are godly men/women.

Bob Jones (Methodist)

Woodrow Kroll (non-denominational)

Chuck Swindoll (E Free) has some very practical teaching/books for Christians. His "Grace Awakening" is a must read.

Max Lucado (Church of Christ)

Francis Schaeffer (Presbyterian)

D James Kennedy (Presbyterian Reformed)

Martin Luther King Jr (kinda Baptist)

William Booth (Salvation Army)

Concerning Billy Graham---and the recent "bashing"--here's my take on his evangelistic thrust----I've heard living testamony--person to person--of people who's lives were changed because of his preaching. One particular lady I spoke with---a former Catholic nun from Baltimore---attended a crusade---heard Dr. Graham preach---during invitation---with her Catholic "Habit" on--she walked down the isle and repented of her sins and received Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior.

In a biography I have of Dr. Graham---he was "walking over" the platform area and arena were he was to preach that week----in Los Angeles--I believe 1968 or so----and noticed a "roped off" area---he asked, "What are these ropes here for??" The Crusade committee answered, "This is where the blacks will be--behind these ropes during the crusade!"

Graham answers--"Take the ropes down or the Crusade is canceled immediately!!!!" The ropes came down! Praise God???!!!!!!!!

Then there are the testamonies of his relationships with the US Presidents---and how he personally led President Dwight Eisehower(one of my military heros) to a personal relation with the Lord Jesus---I liked that testamony!!!

Billy Graham is one of my preaching heroes---at 80 something---age is telling on his preaching----he's just not the "firecracker" he was in the 50's and 60's----and one day---if I live old enough---I'll get that way!!
