What is your evidence that Cruz himself supports Dominionism? He is a Souther Baptist. I know his father has been accused of being a dominionist, and maybe he is, but that wouldn’t prove Cruz was. My own father and I had serious theological differences that were never resolved, though we loved each other dearly.

As for dominionists, yes, that is problematic. There is an old Presbyterian church right next door to me that is owned and run by a gaggle of dominionists. Having been a Southern Baptist myself, I can tell you the two are quite different. My position, until I know better, is that Ted is a Southern Baptist, not a dominionist.

So then, what is your evidence? My own quick perusal found only guilt by association (Raphael), which as you surely know is a fallacy. I also saw some folks conflating a legitimate interest in godly governance with the bizarre eschatology of dominionism, and that too is a fallacy, a category error. What is your smoking gun?

Peace,

SR

Creepy Business: Ted Cruz Father "My Son Anointed to Take Control of Society... Cruz subsequently anointed/prayed over by Dominionist Pastors

He is a Souther Baptist.

Dominionism isn't a denomination. Cruz attends Houston's 1st Baptist, a megachurch associated with Beth Moore, a false prophetess, who has done ecumenical work with Joyce Meyer of the WOF cretins. Haven't finished my research, however, into all of the pastors of Cruz's church as of yet.

He doesn't have any evidence that Ted Cruz believes that other than allowing some church leaders to pray for him. He just believes that his "lax Presbyterian"(his words) candidate somehow has a better chance in the general election even though he polls worse head-to-head and has worst favorability numbers than all other major candidates.

He does seem to be drawn to all the Cruz threads to post about dominionism and some claim to know Cruz's true intentions in exposing the Gang of Eight's sticking point with the path to citizenship.
