Detroit — Michigan televangelist Jack Van Impe ended his decades-long relationship with Trinity Broadcast Network late last week after becoming embroiled in a controversy with pastors Rick Warren and Robert H. Schuller. Van Impe, known for his sermons...

Persecution of Christians is not going to come from the left, but from within those calling themselves “Christians”.

We are too “narrow minded”, you know, to believe in the authority and inspiration of the Bible and the exclusivity of Christ’s sacrifice,

and we are “dangerous” because we prevent all these religions from “coming together”.

I will tell you, watching Jack and Rexella Van Impe will get you more Bible teaching than any other show on TBN.

When I was single and had time, I would sit and watch with amazement. My niece-in-law records and looks up all the scripture they quote.

They are better off without TBN.

Too bad . . . Van Impe is a very knowledgeable Biblical scholar. We are in the process of being turned into an islamic culture . . .

I was just mentioning the fact that Jack Van Impe is dead, my first post I mention that I thought he was dead, I wasn't sure though. After posting I confirmed he was dead by browsing the internet a little. Basically he is dead, a dead man can not continue his show from the grave. A dead man can not pay his bills. So basically TBN and any other TV station is/or was going to pull the plug eventually if nobody is paying the Bills.

My mentioning anything about Jack or TBN is not an endorsement of Jack or TBN, I did not watch his show or TBN TV station. I could care less about Jack, and I also could care less about TBN, I just basically want to mention that Jack is dead now, I do not believe in his Dispensationalism Theology or any one elses Dispensational theology, I just knew about him and I'm just stating a fact that he is dead.

Rick Warren makes me cringe. His “Purpose Driven Life” was full of prevarications and twists.

Don't assume that because they can quote a lot of scripture this has anything to do with the reliability of their conclusions. Said as someone who first became acquainted with Jack Van Impe since the early 1970s (and even watched him play his accordion at my school's founder's day banquet).

[FrdmLvr]

Warren’s “The Purpose Driven Life” was new-age poppycock!

[PLD]

Funny I wonder who that was I watched every Sunday morning on one of my local Channels..He must be coming from heaven every Sunday..He is alive and I enjoy watching him he tells us the facts not the lies the money grabbers like the two that are living it up on poor peoples money and laughing all the way to the bank..

Back in 1970, my mother, and youngest brother gaveme 2 RPMs.
One was Jack Van Impe. It was a great recording, I used in in our youth ministry, and in Sunday School.

I was impressed that he had memorized the whole New Testament, and large portions of the Old Testament.

The Jack Van Impe Ministry had a statement of faith I loved; one statement I continue to use:

“The only infallible interpretation of Scripture of Scripture; is Scripture itself.”

[Dr. Thorne]

I support Jack Van Impe 100%. Crouch, with his silver lame jackets gold-leaf furniture, has always turned me off.

Rick Warren, the Post-Modern Pope, is an acolyte of Peter Drucker who chose and groomed him to move Total Quality Control, Drucker's totalitarian method for controlling PEOPLE, into Christianity. Warren has slavishly followed his master's orders.

IMHO, Warren cares less about Jesus and more about what every progressive cares about: Power and Control.

My Master will ultimately defeat all of these evil machinations and establish His kingdom while seated on the throne of David.

[MrB]

That’s definitely true. Any other attempt to “filter” or “interpret” or take the Bible a la carte is putting your own wisdom above the authority of the Bible.

It’s all a matter of recognizing the concept of “Ultimate Authority”. The Bible is the Ultimate Authority as the Word of God. When a human attempts to “take or leave” parts as he believes to be right or wrong, then he is putting his own wisdom/reason in the position of “Ultimate Authority”.

“organized Religion” = Humanism

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

You just posted the stupidest rambling nonsense I’ve seen on FR in a very long time.

[ReformedBeckite]

No he is not alive he is dead, do a search on his name and you will get several web sites that mention he is dead, that he has died. Even his own web site has admitted he is dead. They are rebroadcasting his old shows as long as they can get away with it. It is about keeping the old cash cow rolling whether it is the TV stations wanting to make money off of his shows or his organization wanting to keep the cash cow rolling as long as they can. The show is a great cash cow for every body involved. I'm not condemning the practice, but I don't endorse the practice of hiding the fact that he has died, some have mentioned the fact that he has died, but they have done it more in a whisper then in a big announcement.

Being located in Detroit, Van Impe is sitting at Ground Zero for this.

Are you talking about the websites that also call Van Impe "a disgusting hate monger?"

Give us a link to what you believe is the official Van Impe website.

it is getting lonely out there and a challenge to find real Christians and not just those who give lip service to it or who go along to get along.

Churches today are full of 'fake' Christians. I can rattle off a number of prominent names in our church of folks who appear to be model Christians yet act in ways that dishonor Jesus Christ and his teachings. It saddens me, because that's not what the ministry of Jesus Christ was all about.

[A Strict Constructionist]

pastors my eye. They are greedy hucksters.

I looked and look and looked and as you say it was the liberal web sites atheist..I think it was a ploy to make people stop watching his show..I watched the show were he laughed and said the humors about me being dead are not true I can't Imagine why anyone would say a thing like that unless they are afraid people are taking him seriously which I do..Everything he says is true about what is happening in this country and the world..
