I wonder if this kind of thinking is what birthed the UPC "cult of personality" or if it is a product of it.

It is amazing to me that several have posted questioning the "rating" of this great man of God. I doubt anyone has heard the 9000+ licensed ministers of the UPCI. However, the "circuit" preachers are much less in numbers. I think it would be safe to say the more popular "circuit" preachers probably numbers less than 75 and possibly less than 50. Of those Bro. White is undoubtedly in the top 5. (Based on his popularity, and continued demand for his ministry) In my personal rating he is in my top 5 lifetime preaching favorites, (and I have heard hundreds and probably close to thousands.) My rating is based on content, spirit, anointing, and results witnessed from his ministry.
To each his own, and everyone will have their own top rated preachers. IMO however I agree that Bro. White is in the top 1% of preachers in Pentecost today.
