Nicky Cruz at Our church
 

We had Nicky Cruz for both services yesterday morning. So before anyone goes off on him not being saved, let me just say that he was awesome and we had so many people in the altar repenting and rededicating their lives to the Lord. His testimony is so powerful and even at 70, he's still a great speaker.

I couldn't get past him not looking like Erik Estrada though. LOL!!

He's in town for a crusade and also he's doing some street services in some very marginal areas of Jackson. So we were able to get him yesterday just for an offering. He's a truly nice man.

Gee, Sherri, why would you think people would "go off on him not being saved"?

Do they do that here on AFF?

I heard him speak several years ago in Vancouver, Washington. He really is a good speaker, and has a genuine relationship with God.

I have never heard him but read his books. David Wilkerson once came to Brazil and we went and heard him. Did he and DW once work together? Seems like I remember something along that line but may be wrong.
Did you guys tape the sermon?

How wonderful, I read DW's books when I was young.

People like Nicky Cruz and David Wilkerson and ministries like Teen Challenge are perceived as a threat to some Oneness Pentecostals because it is obvious that God is working in, with, and and through people who do not agree with us on every point of doctrine.

Wow, I thought this would be a great thread. :(

Yea same here... its like some who want to be defensive from the get go just to keep others from being defensive and it ends up starting the mess to begin with... if any of that made sense :(

As an aside, I heard DW was at a UPC Gen Conference, and that was the year that one preacher actually used the "S" word in his sermon. I heard DW shook his head and walked out.

I would be very careful what I say about anyone especially if they have reached where I have never reached...
We sometimes only judge by Acts 2:38 HE JUDGES by the whole book...
I find it strange that anyone would belittle someone else...if we have so much more we should be out there where the sinners are...doing something!

Now please do not think I have downplayed Acts 2:38...
I have given my whole life preaching Acts 2:38 so it is important. However I want to be careful with my words for they have a way of coming home.
