T D Jakes?
PC,
At Hillsong conference this year they are having T D Jakes, I'm curious as to your thoughts on him? (specifically his "onenss" leanings) His churches websites defintely uses "manifestations" not "persons" in regards to the persons of the godhead.

One could make the case that the Book of Mormon, especially the manuscript and first edition, could lead one to a "Oneness" interpretation of the nature of God.

T. D. Jakes was raised in Oneness. He does not specifically teach it. However, my sense is that he respects the church and people of his upbringing, and so refuses to condemn them. Fundamentalist critics have tried to corner him by demanding that he denounce his spiritual heritage, or be labeled a Oneness proponent. It appears he does not feel obligated to answer people who seem to intend him no favors anyway.

Maybe you don't like his style, or something he's said. But "nutcase???" I'm not getting that.

I don't know if he is a nut case...BUT, he does share the stage with some rather questionable men/ladies of the cloth on TBN. I read recently that he received a $200k Bentley from Paula White, whose Church, Without Walls is under some scrutiny because she and her former husband were a bit....dishonest?

Bytor...financial excess and greed might be a worthy conversation...but I didn't have the impression that is what jadams was addressing.
