The YBPDLN Ping List meets Mormonism.
Keep thinking Happy Happy Thoughts there Joel
Joel’s must be a cheezewhiz kinda church. http://cheezewhizchurch.blogspot.com/
? He's got the largest one in the nation.
I think what Joel is saying is that anyone who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savoir is a Christian. The Bible says we're saved by GRACE through FAITH in Jesus Christ, not by belonging to the right church.
Yes the LDS Church is a false doctrine church, but I'm sure there are born-again Christians that go there not yet realizing its problems. God works from the inside out.
Joel is not a "heretic hunter." That's not his ministry. He's a Pastor and and encourager. His church helps many people come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and helps many all over the world. They're the real deal. I've been a committed Christian for 40+ years and have been going to his church for two and a half years. He preaches God's Word in the anointing of the Holy Spirit every Sunday.
He comes from a solid background and from a solid Christian family whose dad, John, was a well respected pastor and man of God. Joel also is well respected among recognized leaders in the Christian Church including Billy Graham.
another baptist attack on joel osteen.
jealous of the osteen family’s success.
perry recently responded in public politely; that’s probably all one will get in today’s media wars.
Mormon much?
In a bygone era, Joel would have been Joe. In our modern era, Joe would be Joel.
That is abundantly clear.
And because he doesn't discern what is Christian and what is not his flock is left to the wolves.
“I’m sure there are other issues that we don’t agree on. But you know, I can say that the Baptists and the Methodists and the Catholics don’t all agree on everything. So that would be my take on it”....
....Joel reminded the paper’s staff that he has never attended seminary.
"Can someone tell me what Joel is about in 20 words or less?"Related threads:Sheesh - that's easy. The real challenge is to tell what Joel is about in 21 words or more.

“I believe that [Mormons] are Christians . . . . I don’t know if it’s the purest form of Christianity, like I grew up with.”
Now that statement tells you a lot about Osteen, not the purest form of Christianity!LOL, either you are Christian or you are not, there is no in between!
Isn’t Rick Warren part of those pastors that support Chrislam?
Many don't like him because he's got his finger on the pulse of what's wrong with many of God's people: they don't have joy, they're not overcomers in their lives, and are therefore of little use to God. Satan hates Joel Osteen because he's helping God's people come into His presence, become effective in advancing His kingdom, and prevail against the gates of Hell.
Wow. Rips Osteen a new one.
And Osteen’s comments are as shallow as I’ve ever heard anyplace.
Maybe he should have before speaking....
“Part of our core message is that seasons change, and when you believe, if you don’t get bitter, and you don’t get discouraged, you may not change overnight, but you can get peace.”"People need to be reminded that every day is a gift from God, and bloom where you’re planted and be happy where you are, and to make that choice to get up every day and be grateful." J.O.
Huh? What does that mean? It's just piled up platitudes. It's like the jargon got away from him.
I don’t know if it’s the purest form of Christianity, like I grew up with.
Hmm. His daddy way a Word 'o Faith pastor.
By now, it is clear that Joel Osteen’s carelessness is deliberate and calculated.
Scary.
EVERY Sunday? Then what is it I see when I turn the TV on to the program beamed your house of worship? A Joel imposter? All I ever see when I watch is him taking a fragment of a passage and repeating the same thing, over and over. And that would be a watered down version of the prosperity Gospel.
I am a Mormon, and I believe that Jesus Christ is my personal savior, and that through his atonement I can have my sins forgiven, and therefore be clean and acceptable to my Father in Heaven.
The Bible Says: “Judge not, that ye be not judged, For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” Mathew 7:1-2
So taking the above scripture literally: If God finds me an acceptable Christian, yet you sequester God’s Judgment and declare me as a LDS(mormon) a non-Christian .... Then God potentially will boomerang your sequestered judgment by declaring you a Non-Christian?
So Go ahead and join the party!
You are taking the road...of Liberals when you quote that scripture. They attempt to use that line all the time...IS that what you are falling back on??
I was clearing some bookshelves and ran across a book that highlighted different religions. The Mormon section was not the detail your article was but it correlated the timelines. One thing it said was that Mormons teach that African Americans are descendants of Ham and are black because their ancestors sinned.
Reading what this book said I don’t know how Joel Osteen could declare that Mormons are Christians, even nominally. Have you ever heard Romney say that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for the salvation of those who believe and was resurrected on the third day. Or anything similar? I would like to see the quote because Osteen says he has heard it from Romney.
