It’s not like we have not seen this coming. Andy Stanley is set to host the “Unconditional Conference” at a campus of North Point Community Church in coming days and the website for the conference bills it as a “two-day premier event” especially designed for parents of LGBTQ+ children and ministry leaders. “You will be equipped, refreshed, and inspired as you hear from leading communicators on topics that speak to your heart, soul, and mind,” it promises. One statement stands out in the description: “No matter what theological stance you hold, we invite you to listen, reflect, and learn as we approach this topic from the quieter middle space.”

“Clobber verses”, what a concept. Does he consider the Ten Commandments as a collection of clobber verses, too? I don’t know who this so-called pastor is, but he should be ashamed and also scared that he’s a stumbling block instead of a shepherd guarding God’s sheep.

[sauropod]

Wow.

There was a time when Stanley searched for the living Stone. Now he avoids it as if it were the plague.

A prominent mega church pastor in north Atlanta who is himself the son of a very prominent mega church pastor, Charles Stanley. Who was very, very conservative. Charles Stanley is still alive, but has stepped down from day-day preaching at First Baptist of Atlanta.

Charles has died. He was one of my heroes.

Oh, honey. That train has already left the station and is nigh to the arrival point. The ship has sailed.

[Guenevere]

Yes indeed!

[Nifster]

That train left a long time ago

There’s no departing from Biblical Christianity, for the word “Christianity” is not in the Bible.

“…we approach this topic from the quieter middle lukewarm space.”

There. Fixed it

There’s no departing from Biblical Christianity, for the word “Christianity” is not in the Bible.

There is an English word phrase though.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
—Acts 9:31

2596 [e] kath’ καθ’ throughout Prep 3650 [e] holēs ὅλης all

The Greek for that phrase is interesting.

There is also separation, apostasy and those who depart from the faith once delivered to the saints.

>> the quieter middle space

Nothing about an honest existence is quiet

Andy sold his soul to the Devil. And now he (Andy) is trying to bring with him as many souls as he can.

Not surprising at all, considering that's how the Devil works.

It is fitting that he would go after Charles Stanley's son as an insult to God.

Unconditional Conference?

Unconditional surrender conference, perhaps. Surrender to evil.

You got it wrong. Andy is his father’s son and the nut always falls close to the tree. Charles Stanley’s false teaching of Unconditional Eternal Security is the foundation of Andy Stanley’s beliefs. Charles’ mantra of, “As long as you confessed Christ once in your life and believe, it’s done! …it doesn’t matter if you renounce Christ, commit sins, live a profligate life, you’re good!” Andy’s building on his father’s wood, hay, and stubble.

“from the quieter Laodicean space.”

[RoosterRedux]

I got it right.

You are the guy that went on the "mourning thread" the day Charles Stanley died to rant about eternal salvation and what a heretic Charles was. How many people have you brought to the Lord?

And you are lying right here.

Charles believes that once a person is truly born-again, he cannot be un born...and his salvation is secure.

People who are truly born again and filled with the Holy Spirit have eternal salvation.

Charles and Andy are very different.

Go spread your heresy accusation elsewhere.

BTW, thinking that you know Scripture is not going to get you into heaven. Loving God and being filled with his love through repentance and being born-again is what is required.

What kind of loving person would go onto a thread of those mourning the death of Charley Stanley (who is beloved by many) to rant about his heresy.

That is about as close to evil as you can get.

BTW, no more comments from me. Take your legalism to someone who doesn’t know you.
