Lengthy...read more at the link. Wanted to post it because Jay Sekulow from the ACLJ made the list. The list includes Rick Warren(author of the Purpose Driven Life), Howard and Roberta Ahmanson, David Barton, Douglas Coe, Charles Colson, Luis Cortes, James Dobson, and many more.

Bump for later.

I'm suprised that neither Janet Parshal nor Hank Hanegraff made the list. But Rick Santorum did?

[j_k_l]

I can't believe they left off...

[Jay777]

ACLJ ping! Jay Sekulow: The Almighty's Attorney-at-Law

[mseltzer]

This list is racist. They didn't include Jesse Jackoff.

[j_k_l]

I don't know what is worse, the freaks that Hank Hanegraff exposes or the outright arrogance he displays in doing so.

There is an old proverb that goes something like "be careful that you do not turn into the very thing you hate...".

[Terabitten]

I woulda included R.C. Sproul, but I guess having Packer on the list is close enough.

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks for the thread. I need to get the print version.

Diane Knippers is a personal acquaintance.

[martin_fierro]

The heathen left out Jan Crouch.

[keithtoo]

I think I just lost my breakfast. UGHHH!

[evets]

Robert Tilton

[Jemian]

As impressive as that list is, they missed the most influential evangelist of them all. The Christian on his knees who is holding that list before the throne, asking the Holy Spirit to empower the preaching and sharing of the Word is the most influential of all.

I have never been able to understand why Jan makes herself up as she does. I turn to another channel when Jan is on TBN.

[nfldgirl]

I have never been able to understand why Jan makes herself up as she does.

...And she expects to be taken seriously?! I think not.

I have major issues with Joyce Meyer. I used to listen to her on the radio and I think I read one of her books years ago and I started realizing that she was one of those "name it and claim it" types. So unscriptural. It scares me to think she is influencing so many people. I heard Tony Evans on the radio over the weekend and he was specifically castigating this type of preaching/philosophy.

[Zack Nguyen]

The great David Barton is on the list! Wallbuilders.
