As I said, Jesus Christ warned His followers (including me) about the Warren types, and I intend to heed His warnings.

Hmm. You use Matthew 7:15 to refer to Rick Warren but you fail to continue reading verses 16-20 where Jesus says:
By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
God is using Warren's ministry to bring people to Christ, which, given the context, is my definition of good fruit. If that is your definition, perhaps you should rethink your position on Warren.
