Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I am not posting for us to debate if they are saved or not...please...lol...


However we all in life´s journey meet people different from us that leave a mark...

I will start the tread off by saying two people I greatly admired during the thim I knew them were Richard and Sabrina Wurmbrand...they were the founders of the Voice of Maryers.
I traveled with them a week once in Brazil as a translator and got to know them quite well during that week. Afterwards we wrote to each other. Their work goes on today all over the world. My brother in law and his family has worked many years in that mission.
If you ever have a chance read their books...and for you who do not know he was a jew by birth!

Someimes we meet people and don´t remember their names...Once when I was 19 years old I was in wild indian territory and a priest let me sleep in a makeshift convent with the little nuns...I will never forget his kindness and in thankfulness to them I went to mass with them...I left them tracts...I was only there in passing...

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I admired Mr & Mrs Courtenay of the Salvation Army Grandview Temple that faithfully picked me up for Sunday School & other events when I was 5 until I turned 10.
They were good to I & my family.

My sister admires Brenning...the one who wrote the ragmuffin gospel...

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I admire David and Gwen Wilkerson who have a church which reaches out to
SO many, with several outreaches from the Times Square Church in New York.
After meeting him briefly in the early 70's I have prayed for them and ordered
tapes, books, etc. and asked God to reveal full truth to him, in Jesus Name!

Our family came from a long, strong Methodist background. Because my paternal
grandmother read her Bible diligently and prayed while a Methodist, when more truth
came their way, she was able to recognize it as such. The Bible confirmed it to her
that it was indeed truth. Truth sets men free and he whom the Son sets free is free
INDEED!

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I always admired Mother Thresa...even if she was a catholic nun. She did much for the suffering.
So many good people have done so much to change our world. The hungry will always be grateful for those that give them a peice of bread.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I admire two of the local Baptist Pastors a lot and would consider going to one for counsel.

My own father, Elam, was one of the finest examples of a Christian I have witnessed. His kindness was well known throughout our community.

Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty
Based on J. P. Gallagher's book The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican (published in 1967), this movie tells the story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, a real life Irish Catholic priest who saved thousands of Jews and Allied POWs from Nazi occupied Rome.

I think the thread title may be a bit misleading.

While these people would be considered non - Oneness Pentecostal, very few, if any would consider themselves non Jesus Name or anti - Jesus Name...

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

Beth Moore- I really enjoy her Bible studies. I use them in conjuction with my daily Bible reading.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

Someone else I admired was a priest at the Leper colony where I worked so many years...Not his doctrine but his devotion...a rare thing among many people.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I like his writings.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I like John Piper a lot and listen to his messages all the time. I also listen to Matt Chandler, he is the pastor of The Village Church outside of Dallas.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I have read some of John Piper´s works but not Matt Chandler.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I have always admired Mother Theresa as well. She was the most spendidly, intelligent woman. I have a quote by her that I have saved for years on abortion.

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against children and women against men. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts - a child - as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience." - Mother Theresa

Growing up there was a Mennonite community in my town. I attended their Summer Vacation Bible School program for 13 years. Mr. Longernecker and Mr. Ebersole and their wives were some of the sweetest, most Christlike people I have ever known. They were genuinely respected by everyone in our town.

I truly loved them!

My wife is in the hospital and has had some rough times. Today, a young man "ministered" to her in two unfortunate and very messy situations. He is a PCA, and we talked with him a little. He worked for Ford Motors in Detroit for 10 years and has left them and studying to be a nurse. He has one more year to go to get his degree. He will be a great nurse! He is a great person! He talked about seeking God's will for his life and ways to serve others. When my wife asked him what church he was affiliated with, he said, "Catholic." He said his brother and sister are no longer Catholic but Presbyterian and are in some type of mission work in medicine. He mentioned looking forward to giving some of his time to serve with them in a clinic. As a "one-stepper" I have no problem considering him my brother. His attitude and demeanor radiated the love of God.

I have a friend I call "Father Froelich." He's about a year younger than I and he and I do lots of prayer visitation for the Vineyard Church. I have not gone to the Vineyard since the spring of 2006 and have resigned from the prayer ministry in writing to make it official but he keeps calling me to go with him. This man loves the Lord and has been baptized in the Spirit. He was immersed some years ago in an Assembly of God Church. He is a member of the Vineyard Church but considers himself to be Roman Catholic. He goes to mass every so often and even confession now and then because he likes the personal interaction with a priest.

I don't bring my Bible with me because he always has his well worn and thoroughly marked New Jerusalem Bible (with the Apocrypha). I kid him and call it his "Cross back Bible.). When we anoint people with oil and pray for them he has me quote James 5:13-18. We tell people we are "elders" because we are old. We tell people that we are a team -- a Catholic and a Pentecostal.

We use his oil to anoint folks. It's from some Roman Catholic Church in South Dakota. If he does the anointing, he says, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." If I do the anointing I say "In the name of Jesus" or "in the name of our Lord Jesus." I remind him that he says he uses the "name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" but he doesn't actually say the name.

I think very highly of this man and consider him a friend and a brother.

Many years ago when I was a young Christian and a member of a Baptist Church, there were several ministers I used to listen to on the radio as I was hungry for more of the Word and wanted whatever God had for me. I used to listen to Jack Coe, Glen Thompson, Oral Roberts, A.A. Allen and also to C.M. Ward who was the speaker on Revivaltime (radio voice of the Assemblies of God). I read Oral Robert's autobiography and also read other writings/books/magazines by these men. They helped lead me into more light and I thank God for them and their help in my walk with the Lord.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

Bro. Don Spiers considered an Apostle in the Ceylon Pentecostal Mission until his death a few years back. He did street witnessing in New York in the 50's. He travelled in South and Central America in the early 60's preaching Christ. After joining the CPM he traveled worldwide preaching and praying for the sick. A great example for me having met him in 1977. He taught love and holiness like few I ever heard of.

Dave Wilkerson was my first strong influence for Christ. He helped spark faith in my heart and a love for soul winning.

Richard Wurmbrand who suffered greatly for Jesus name and comforted many thousands of others suffering.

Re: Non Jesus Name people you admire
 

I admired so much Brother and Sister Wurmbrand...Few people of our day equal their sufferings...
