If he has saved them then they ain't saved!

Wow. Just wow. As if you had any authority as to what goes on in people's hearts when they ask Jesus to become their Lord and Saviour. Or even when and how God chooses to call them to Him. I wouldn't dare question how God does things, but hey...if that's your view of our Lord..what can I say besides, good luck with that.

No wonder some folks want nothing to do with Christians. Sheesh.

So that is the justification for using the world's methods to "draw in" more believers?

Guess God has fallen down on the job. After all Christ did say that "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."

How many "true believers" became that way through the promise of earthly wealth, or popularity? I find both the motives and the motivations specious.

Lighten up Francis...

The original post used “he” in reference to Osteen as in “the number he has saved”. My point was if he (osteen) saved them, as opposed to salvation through Christ, then “they ain't saved”. Since the Bible says that salvation ONLY comes through Jesus (I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light, no man come to the Father but by Me) I stand by my post.

No wonder some folks want nothing to do with people who can't read for context and comprehension. Sheesh.
