In this wonderfully produced video IB tells subscribers that endtime prophecy (of course his version) is part of the Great Commission for one last endtime revival.
Having listened to and read some of his past work I can't see how saying 2 billion people will die w/o offering the New Birth message is GOOD NEWS or fulfilling the Great Commission.
It has been said that IB holds a traditional 3-step OP view of salvation ... but we also know that many, if not most, of his Christian listeners do not.
To his credit he then offers a DVD package for discipleship "EndTime University" in this video .... in which he clearly states
"avoids controversial issues" .... just teaching the staples of Christian life. What does that mean?
Has IB watered down the Apostolic message to promote his ministry to a wider audience? Is endtime prophecy part of his or His Great Commission? Is this type of thing the cons and the WPF worried about with advertising on TV?
Is avoiding controversial issues the proverbial SLIPPERY SLOPE?
How does one reconcile teaching apocalyptic news without offering a solution that will save?
What say ye?
