He might have gotten everything else wrong, but if he got this one thing right - alone and by itself - then hes with Jesus right now.
God tells us in Romans (chapter 10) ... ... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

One thing I loved about TBN is if you give to them, which we do, they don't constantly send out "gimme more" mailers. Instead they sent out monthly news updates on nice four-color informative brochures and regularly send out little gifts. I know of no other ministry that does this, but they should.
BTW, iTBN is a wonderful resource with a huge backlog of videos form a incredibly huge library of ministers.
TBN played a big part in the direction my life was going(they were instrumental in turning it back around the right way). God does work in mysterious ways.
I hope someone witnessed to him before he died.
He was the quintessential snake oil salesman. I’m stunned that anyone was taken in by him. How can a believer/practitioner of in faith healing die of a decade long illness? His wife was/is a cartoon character, a Dolly Parton wanna-be. The pair of them were utterly nauseating.
"Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:22,23)
I certainly would never give him or any televangelist, a nickel of my money. I don't give money to people I don't know on the TV.
Occasionally good movies.
RIP
