TBN: No Naming Names – Apostasy’s New Gospel of Thieves

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

After 23 years in the special top audience time slots with Trinity Broadcasting Network, Dr. Jack Van Impe has pulled the plug. Reasons cited are that, TBN’s top execs don’t want Van Impe naming names of ministers and ministries that Van Impe says are teaching corruptions of the gospel.

Among the names Van Impe specifically referred to were Robert Schuller (Crystal Cathedral) and Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life). TBN’s policy is that no one using air time with the TBN is allowed to rebuke or criticize other ministers. It is not known whether TBN includes ministers who are not part of TBN programming.

Dr. Van Impe was airing a series of programs on four churches that were promoting ‘Chrislam’ which is a meld of Christianity and Islam and a part of the new tolerance and diversity movement of the far left ideologues who have crept into the church in the last decade. They have begun attempts to reshape the new apostates in churches that are not scripturally grounded and consequently are totally unsuspecting.

While Dr. Van Impe has been criticized for his open affinity with the Pope and for his teachings of a partial rapture, these are not beliefs or issues that are critical to anyone’s salvation. The teaching of Chrislam on the other hand is most certainly a doctrine of devils. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” (1Tim 4: 1)

Jack and Rexella Van Impe are . . . unusual, but lately I have been respecting them more than I used to. He tells it like it is (his perception) and he is not a man-pleaser. Hat's off. Any enemy of "Chrislam" is a friend of mine.

He talked about this last week. I wondered if it was tbn. Good for you jvi!

jack van impe and his wife are ingrates.

tbn has allowed the van impes world wide exposure for their views and

the marketing of their products for decades.

tbn is correct in holding to their rule of not criticizing

other pastors (even if they do not agree with them.)

A 'rule' that Crouch and others like benny hinn have had not problem breaking in the past.

The linked article was slightly informative, but the comments were funny!

if "Chrislam" is mixing Christianity and Islam, then is mixing Christianity and rabbinic Judaism "Judeanity"? Oh wait! No! that's dispensationalism

I don't know what Riddlebarger is trying to say about "Pots and Kettles." Van Impe's opinion of amillennialism seems irrelevant to the issue of whether TBN should allow criticism of Chrislam on the air. If Riddlebarger wants to say "a pox on both your houses," I can certainly understand that. But I don't understand the "Pots and Kettles" reference, unless Van Impe had been trying to censor someone.
