I agree with you agreeing with the essence of Reformed Dave's post.
Grandma Trouvere, I don't mean to "mock" LS so please don't take offense. You just have to understand that there are some of us that are less than fans based on many things. For me chief among them being content of sermons and the Ruth Reider popularized extra biblical notions about the power in uncut hair, the evil of jewelry, etc.
I have been told for years what masterpieces LS preaches. I have heard him once in person (many years ago) and in the last two or three years multiple times on webcasts, etc and none of those sermons were masterpieces.
The man has amassed such a cult status within the UPC that his mere presence causes a spiritual emotional frenzy. When I listened to a sermon of his a year or so ago in Stockton and commented to his fans that the sermon had no real content, that it was just a series of catch phrases and other red meat to get Oneness Pentecostals revved up the response from most of his following was that I was correct in my analysis but that the content did not matter because he "built faith" in those in the audience. I think that is the same basis by which Benny Hinn operates and sees healings happen.
