LOL, I'll go on: I remember when I was a baby Christian watching Fred Price one evening for the first time and thinking he was brave in that he spoke against the doctrine of the black Muslim movement and specifically Louis Farrakhan, after someone gave him a video taped secretly from a Farrakhan meeting where LF said something unscriptural about Jesus Christ. Fred Price had a 4 week (4 evenings) teachings against Islam, I think I watched two of them.

This is the same Fred Price who said that God can't do anything unless we give him permission! And said:

“I’ve got 25 million dollars in my financial statement, free and clear I have no debt, I live in a 25 room mansion, I have my own 6 million dollar yacht, I have my own private jet and I have my own helicopter and I have 7 luxury automobiles so I never get board having to drive the same car more than one time in any given week” Fred Price expose

Regarding his stance against Islam and his truth mixed with lies:

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

But the more people watch TBN, the less time they read for themselves.

Exactly! What TBN has brought us is a generation of lazy, stupid, uninformed, blind-sheep Christians who don't want to seek the Truth, but merely attend church occasionally and sooth their consiences. Then they blindly defend the false doctrines of the leaders who lead them down the path of destruction, all in the name of "church growth" when in reality it is "spiritual compromise and/or death".

"I remember when I was a baby Christian .."

Exactly. Discernment is not the trait of a child, but teachability (humility) is.

The immature (Christian or not) are attracted by a lot of uncomplicated glitz and nonsense (and a lot of it is so heretical and unorthodox as to not even qualify as "the milk of the Word"), but the more "spiritually mature they become, the more they will move away from that sort of thing.

That's not to say that those who don't seem to progress much away from that aren't "real" Christians, though; it could merely mean that they allow themselves to be more hindered than others by preconceived notions/indoctrination, are emotionally immature, are easily led by authority figures, etc., etc.

If we could judge who is and who isn't a "Christian" by outward appearances, we would be making the claim that we can tell the difference between the wheat and the tares - the goats and the sheep. We can't.

And neither can we use "reason" with the emotionally immature. If they're ever going to grow up, they have to do it at their own rate in the school of hard knocks. Some even have to attend Whatsamatter U., before all is said and done. LOL
