wah, you signed up just to post this??
Like I said in another thread, not all the pastors get it right all
the time, and even in some of the less radical churches, they will
say things that are not quite right... especially certain churches
which I will not go into as well. We all take as much as God allows
us revelation for and we grow step by step, at different point in
our walk with God we can accept a certain level of teaching. Then
as we mature in Christ, we can accept deeper teachings as well. Its
just like when Jesus came and started preaching or John the
baptist. They both caused much overturning of what accepted
teaching norms were. The test here for pastor prince is to see if
NCC can continue to grow and remain strong. We will know the tree
by its fruit. This only time can tell.
Ultimately, it boils down to this, you and God and no one else. Yes
no doubt teachers are doubly accountable, but that goes for all
pastors etc. Not just the ones that are high profile. It's just
that being high profile, you get hit more... hence this
topic.
One last thought, i think different people have different needs and
different personalities, therefore the different ways in which we
have church service and the different pastors and different
preaching styles. What one person can accept another may not and
vice versa, so we have to allow for this also. Just because ps
prince preaches in a style or uses certain analogies in a certain
way that some cannot accept, does not necessarily make him wrong.
As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. Personally, I
do not think that there is "something wrong" with his preaching. He
is humble enought to admit mistakes and sensitive enough to be used
by the Holy Spirit. That should say a lot about him.
