Robert "Pastor Gas" Tilton. How could he not make the list? His "Pastor Gas" video was why Al Gore invented the internet in the first place. You can view it here.

They can only think to call Joyce Meyer, "the feminine side"? She's one tough broad.

[Polyxene]

Me either!! I don't understand why a woman wears PINK, BIG HAIR!! And the tears!! She cries at the drop of a bucket!! She must have gone to the "Tammy Faye Bakker School of How-to Sob"!!

[AppyPappy]

That whole genre belongs to another generation. That's why she is popular. The same people still worship St Elvis.

Interesting list. Joyce Meyers does nothing for me. Like the Crouch's, she's just another person who got rich off Jesus.

Yeah, the problem with Hank Hanegraff is that "the freaks" he "exposes" includes abolsutely everyone who doesn't believe exactly as he does; he finds one verse in scripture, with no context, which sounds like it supports his own personal opinion, and everyone else is an enemy of Christ to him.

[dangus]

Gee, if they're gonna start naming Catholics, why not go woth the big guns: Justin Cardinal Rigali, Abp. Edmund Burke...

Another thing I noticed is that he will take a sound clip that is 15 or 20 years old and base his attack on it. Maybe the person did say something that was "off the wall" but there is not a whole lot of grace or even the idea that maybe that person has grown.

I read his book "Counterfit Revival" and it was interesting but very one sided. Most of the people in his book have faded back into obscurity and would have done so sooner had he just left it alone.

I noticed the same things about Hank Hanegraaf. I got to where I couldn't even listen to him anymore.

[DTogo]

I don't always agree with Hanegraff, but I find him very informative and thought-provoking (to agree or disagree with him, or do my own research), which is usually a good thing.

Most would have warrants for crimes against humanity.

Looking at many of the names on the list we should be comforted that Time's magazine of most influential is not the Lord God's list! Notice they didn't say most biblical - just most influential. Still, they left off the One who is the good news (evangel)- Jesus Christ!

Hanegraff takes issue with Charmastics whose doctrine of Christ is heretical. These individuals often sound good, but when you examine their Christ in the light of the Scriptures as we are commanded they fail the test.

They can only think to call Joyce Meyer, "the feminine side"? She's one tough broad.

Maybe it's all the sequins she wears. ;-)

Regardless of what one thinks about her, one of the funniest things I've ever heard is when she said (and I paraphrase):

"You worried about getting the victory over the forces of evil and you can't even claim victory over a sink full of dirty dishes."

[Mark17]

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

Maybe it is because he could be classified as a psuedo christian.

[DarthVader]

Both are equally bad. Hanegraff is at the point where he is doing Satan's work by turning Christian's against one another and creating divisions and hatreds which Paul warned about. However, false teachings need to be exposed and admonished but by the following the Biblical prescription in dealing with these matters.

I heard Tony Evans on the radio over the weekend and he was specifically castigating this type of preaching/philosophy.

Tony Evans is the man!
