I disagree with JG's statement and his actions at the time certainly seemed to show that he had ulterior motives as well; but I can't "call him out" on the "affirmation" that was cited.
On the other hand, I don't quite see how the "change things from the inside" kind of guys could possibly be equated with:
"... an opening to the gate to everything that the Devil's got ... opening the door to the carnality and worldliness ..." either.
Fact of the matter is, some the most carnal sermons I have ever heard have come from the two WPF Godair brothers. To this day I'm still trying to figure out how hollering "I'm 100% Country!" from the pulpit of a UPCI conference isn't as carnal as it gets.
... but then again, that's just IMHO.

I didn't say I agreed with his conclusions, pel. I'm just pointing out that he's right about the tactical side of it.
And anyway, only the appearance of carnality is objectionable.
