What do you think about Joseph Prince?

A growing sensation in Evangelical circles across the world, Joseph Prince captivates audiences with the message of God's grace. 

According to his bio on his ministry website, Prince is a "highly sought-after conference speaker, Joseph has impacted church leaders internationally by preaching the unadulterated gospel of Jesus with boldness."

His success seems to begin with a biblical commitment that God seems to have honored.
A founding member of New Creation Church, Joseph initially served as an elder and associate pastor. However, his unanimous appointment as senior pastor in 1990 marked a turning point in the history of the church, which started experiencing phenomenal growth. Under Joseph’s leadership, the church congregation has grown by more than a hundredfold—from about 150 to more than 28,000.
Having built and established the leadership and congregation of New Creation Church on the sure foundation of Jesus Christ, Joseph is now actively fulfilling, around the world, the mandate that God has given him to preach God’s unmerited favor without compromise.

However, Christians raise red flags with Prince's theology, which seems to be play the field of anti-repentance, health-and-wealth teaching.  As such, Justin Peters began a radio series  that you should digest before your next Joseph Prince download.

Part 1 (aired 2/28/13):
In this program Justin begins a discussion of one of, if not the fastest rising stars in Evangelicalism, Joseph Prince. Prince's television program, Destined to Reign, began airing in the United Sates in 2007 and since then has been on an almost meteoric rise. He is an extraordinarily popular and gifted speaker but some people have questions. Is he a prosperity preacher? Is he Word-Faith? Should we listen to him and recommend him to others? This is the first installment of what will be at least a two part series on the preacher of "radical grace."

Part 2 (aired 3/6/13):
Joseph Prince, pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore, is the fastest rising star in Evangelicalism today. In this program Justin continues his discussion of Prince and offers an overview of his Word-Faith background and teachings. Prince is sometimes labeled as antinomian and Justin shows that this charge is not without some merit. Prince teaches the Prosperity message and misdefines sin. You will hear audio clips from Prince himself. Though there is some truth in what he teaches, there is also egregious error and as an adherent to Word-Faith theology must be deemed a false teacher.

RE: "Pastor Dayna Muldoon EXPOSED"

It enough to make your heart ache.  "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon  has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before , false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites. This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times.  Even Todd Friel got animated about this , and nothing gets him hyper. Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg , peeking the interests of many attending the church.  When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God. This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves.  Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel , host after-glow services where one expects similar claims

Was Rebekah a child when she married Isaac?

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old?  If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged. Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything.  While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children .  The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia. The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac.  Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20).  Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle. The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah.  Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewish tradition, which spe

From YouTube: Calvinism (Also know by Doctrines of Grace or Reformed theology) John MacArthur use Romans 8:28-30 as main text. The five points of calvinism are Total depravity (total inability), Unconditional election, Limited atonement (Also called particular redemption or definite atonement), Irresistible grace (also called efficacious grace), and Perseverance of the saints. Full sermon http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/90-427 Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom He predestined, He also called. And these whom He called, He also justified. And these whom He justified, He also glorified."
