I think it is Greek Orthodox. He became a member at the St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church in North Carolina.

He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I can’t remember if he’s Preterist or Dominionist.

Either way, his leaving the Evangelical community was a long time coming. He’s a liberal of the Russell Moore/Rick Warren camp.

To be fair, he does have more “understanding” of the Bible than those two, but he’s still not right in the head.

Used to listen to him 20+ years ago.

The Orthodox Church is poorer for having him as a member. Just thankful this fraud is no longer associating as an Evangelical. The Evangelical Church is happy to be rid of him.

I would agree with that assessment when it comes to Warren.
Moore uses his knowledge of the Bible to twist scripture in order to fit his Communitarian and Globalist agenda.

Hannegraaf is similar in that regard.
I can’t stomach 5 minutes of his show anymore LOL!

Hmmm. As far as I know, the Orthodox church holds orthodox Christian beliefs … well duh!. Their style of worship is more liturgical and ornate than most protestant denominations, but otherwise their beliefs are very similar. After all, they are Christian—Jesus died for the atonement of our sins that we might have eternal life.

A Preterist, Replacement theologian, anti-dispensationalist, and evolutionist.

Yes!
Thanks for clearing up the record!

I totally forgot about his Replacement theology and his advocating for a “Two State Solution”.

My husband’s stepmother and his dad are Greek Orthodox. She is conservative, but she says the church is very liberal.

Might be like the Catholic Churches, where some parishes are conservative and orthodox, others are Vat 2-liberal.

I'm shocked at your criticisms of Hank.

I haven't listened to him in years but he was very instrumental to my coming to faith in Christ in 1992 by his explanations of the Nature of God, Deity of Christ and God's forgiveness plan.

He has many books out calling out and criticizing the word of faith movement of the Osteens and Warrens.

I am shocked though at his conversion.

If you’ve heard him lately, he’s a globalist. He believes in a 2 State Solution and Replacement Theology.

I’m a Dispensationalist, Pre-Trib at that.
Hank hates folks like me.
Ever since he came out as a Preterist, he’s lost most of his following. His fall guys are John Darby, Mark Hitchcock, Tim LaHaye and Jan Markell.

For reference:

They’re long, but if you’re interested they are there.
His conversion IMHO doesn’t come as a surprise. I thought he’d go for Reform Lutheran or Methodist to be honest.

Perhaps this might help you in knowing where we are coming from:

A little research on the Christian Research Institute.

BTW it was Christ Alone who was instrumental in your coming to faith. The Bible teaches that God can use an ass to speak to you.

Chrismations usually happen on Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday. We are finding a lot of refugees from mainline Protestantism as well as the Anabaptist
and Evangelical communities. People are fascinated by the Ancient Faith of Christianity. Their love of The Word is cherished. “Now lay aside all earthly cares.....”
