I am most disappointed to learn this of Robertson. I would not have thought it.
Pat Robertson is saved by grace through faith, no doubt, but he still has at least a couple of screws loose.
I certainly disagree with him on this and other issues ...
BUT ...
I remember channel surfing and watching his program in the 80s, and hearing him give a clear gospel presentation ... and then ....
I did not believe - at that time.
If I have died in the years after I heard him preaching, it would have been my own fault for not believing.
God is great and gracious, and He did bring me to faith in the mid-80s.
