Perhaps I need to clarify that I'm not saying Jack is a Jesuit, I'm saying he preaches Jesuit Futurism. Because it's the Jesuit Order responsible for introducing the world to that doctrine.
Ok.
My clarification is:
"The Name Tags Themselves", and WHO is Declaring What.
IF "A" teachers teaching, "INCLUDES" "A" point that "A" "particular group" TEACHES....
For Example...
Like....A Catholic Point
Like....A Roman Catholic Point
Like....A Mormon Point
Like....A Islamic Point
Like....A Jewish Point
Like....A Hebrew Point
Like....A Greek Philosopher's Point
Like....A Baptist's Point
Like....A Jesuit Priest's Point
And THE Person MAKING "A" Point, NEVER Includes mention of the "OTHER" groups...
IS THE Person themselves, "associating themselves" IN ALLEGIANCE with the "OTHER" groups? Uh, no.
But, WHAT IF...A third party "OTHER" person DECIDES to "CONNECT A PERSON TEACHING, WITH "A GROUP specific"....
WHAT IS the THIRD party "other" persons "IMPLICATION" regarding the "TEACHER"?
Now....Consider, This Third Party's Words....
And.....Consider, Those LISTENING to the Third Party's Word....
And.....Consider, the huge number of LISTENERS, who are IGNORANT of the Word of God, (Own a Bible, but Never READ the Bible) and ACCEPT ANY ONE, even strangers, to BE "their" TEACHER.
And the MINUTE, they Hear, Another Teachers Name ASSOCIATED with, A particular "GROUP"...
What IS the "outcome" of the LISTENERS of the "thrid party"....ABOUT a "particular" Named TEACHER?
Answer....EXACTLY what the "THRID Party" "teacher" Intended to BE the outcome"...
That the LISTENERS at large, "WOULD" repeat and dictate and declare.....the "TEACHER being NAMED, "IS" "part of", has "allegiance to", one of the named particular groups.
You for example...
Associated Jack Van Impe's Teaching WITH, Jesuit Priests (an order of Priest of the Roman Catholics).
Then You expressed, WHO accepted those teachings of the Jesuit Priests, and WHO did not.
By YOUR implication...
You implied:
1) Jack is in Agreement with points OF Jesuit Priests, "BECAUSE", he believes WHAT Jesuit Priests Believed.
2) Jack is in NOT in Agreement with points OF Protestants, (particulars, that you named), "BECAUSE" you declared it.
3) Thus, IF ANOTHER, is ONLY in agreement WITH Protestants, THEY MUST IGNORE JACK, as a FRAUD, BECAUSE, you have declared, he has ADOPTED belief in some points of Jesuit Priests, (that he "apparently", ONLY got from Jesuit Priests teaching).
By Dave L. Implication...
He implied;
1) Jack is in Agreement with points of Baptists, and then associated Jack's Name, with another Baptist involved in a Scandal, implying Jack is IN AGREEMENT with a SCANDALIZE Baptist.
2) Then introduced Some unknown mans opinion, that Jack has associated with Roman Catholics, and BY ALL APPEARENCES, has concluded, Jack is likely, a Roman Catholic.
What IS the Point of Associating JACK'S NAME with OTHER specific GROUPS.....BUT to Influence Others, THAT JACK "MUST" be in "ALLEGIANCE AND PART" of those groups....?
AND...."IF" an individual themselves...."IS NOT" ....in allegiance with the other "named group".... the OTHER individual themselves,
MUST view Jack as a Fraud, and distance themselves FROM HIM.
Isn't that the Real Intent ?
THAT was my Point of the Comedy, about NAME TAGS.
Not particularly "funny", but rather "ridiculous", of how "THRID parties" can Dictate what ANOTHER TEACHER BELIEVES, and THEIR SOURCE of TEACHING, IS DECLARED (by said Third Party) as COMING """FROM""" SOME "particular group".
My Point regarding...."coming """FROM'''' some "particular named group"...
IS THIS...Jack, the Teacher, himself, HAS NOT declared, HE STUDIED AND "ADOPTED" ANY "GROUPS" Beliefs.
Jack HAS Declared "himself", AS:
A Bible BELIEVING and Teaching Christian.
An Evangelical Christian.
Has "HE" declared "himself", AS:
Having "allegiance" with, or "joined" with,
ANY "particular" Religious group?
No.
Does an Evangelical "IGNORE" people FROM
Other Religious "groups" ?
No.
Did Jesus "IGNORE" people FROM "other groups", because they DID NOT BELIEVE, as He did?
No.
What SET Jesus APART from "other men", (not exclusively, but important to note)...
IS He Preached the Word of God TO "anyone" willing to Listen.
Not comparing Jack to Jesus proper....but I am comparing Jack's WAY of Preaching to Jesus WAY (which was the WAY Jesus Himself
Taught).
That is what SETS Evangelical Christians APART from "other Christians".
"Other Christians" Teach and Preach ...
Doctrine Specific TO the WAY of "their Denomination"...Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, etc.
An Evangelical Christian teaches and preaches, according to the strict wording of Scripture.....WITHOUT regard of the Listeners "domination preference"....WITHOUT regard of the Listeners" allegience to whatever "religion".
Anyone can come to a scheduled meeting, or tune in to a radio broadcast, or tv broadcast and HEAR, Listen, Agree, Verify, or walk away.
Billy Graham; a Christian Evangelist, traveled the world wide, setting up scheduled meetings, inviting anyone interested, and millions, from ALL kinds of DIFFERENT religious denominational backgrounds and allegiances, Heard Jesus Preached, and elected to Give their Lives to Christ Jesus.
Jack; uses a different format, called a television broadcast, to teach and preach, Christ Jesus IS the WAY to Salvation. Anyone from ANY religious denominational background and allegiance, can TUNE in to Jack's broadcast and hear, listen, accept Jesus' teaching and Give their Lives to Christ Jesus, or walk away.
When a "third party" starts teaching, an Evangelical Christian is "associated" with or IS part of "other" groups, """"BECAUSE''''' of what the 'other' group teaches....
THAT is False.
An Evangelical Christian DOES preach a raising up of Christ's Christ's Church, a Specific Raising Up of ONLY Christ's Church being redeemed, signified by a specific Term, commonly called the RAPTURE. (It has nothing to do with OTHER men being raised up, at other Specific times.)
Evangelical Christians DO teach a Specific Seven Year Tribulation Period, Which is Specific to Foretold Biblical Prophecies Coming to Pass, in regard to ""ALL"" of Gods Creations...
Heavens, Earth, Celestials, Terrestrials, Animals, Plants, Trees, Water....etc.
No man KNOWS the exact HOUR Gods Tribulation WILL BEGIN.
Yet Biblical Scripture itself reveals SIGNS of WHEN thee Lord God SHALL commence the Seven Year Tribulation Beginning, and other things that WILL Happen DURING that SEVEN TIME FRAME.
IF an individual DOES NOT Believe, in a Coming TRIBULATION period, lN the World, such as WAS in the beginning....that IS their prerogative, to believe what THEY choose.
Matt 24:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
