Re: A Relevant Holiness Message
Listen, I can understand getting worked up over false doctrine or immorality; I don't see the point in ripping someone to shreds over their style of delivery. I can even understand picking on RM a bit because of the contradiction on his platform--but even that doesn't make RM a bad person. It might make him a conflicted or inconsistent person.
The fact that Juanita Bynum and Benny Hinn aren't defended is irrelevant since they aren't all the popular with many of their trinitarian counterparts, either. Furthermore, I have a problem with Juanita Bynum because I'm a woman and I expect other women to behave in a feminine manner. It has zero to do with her not being "oneness."
I remember a thread awhile back where NOW criticized Mark Driscoll because of his "delivery" (yelling during a sermon) and I defended him. 
That said, I'm sure we all tend to defend people in our own ranks, whether that be oneness or not. I grew up around a lot of preachers who delivered the Gospel with less than finesse, to put it mildly, yet people were still saved. Sometimes preaching IS foolishness, but God tends to use it anyway.
