Do you imagine that the thousands of folks who heard the message of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and accepted the gift of salvation through Osteen’s ministry are not “really saved”?
Please do not put words into my mouth. I said no such thing.
God will save whom He chooses, for His good pleasure and in His good time. If God chooses to use the vehicle of Joel Osteen, well, that's God's prerogative.
It doesn't change the fact that Joel Osteen's health-and-wealth prosperity message is on the bare ragged edge of heresy.
