Then I apologize. I still believe I saw his name on a preterist website, but either they are wrong, or I am!
I still want you to come brother, although this summer did not pan out!
I want to make it happen!
See what happened Elder Johnny James spoke at a Preterist convention, so Cohen Reckhart labeled him with Preterism.
I will gladly come and speak for yall ,and I promise not to throw any microphones.

Red herring jm. Kids and adults are exposed to worse things than JA on the internet, at school, at home, in the park, in the restaruant, etc. People don't come to church to see fake and phoney preachers give 3 points and a poem.
I would rather hear a JA message with a little rough language that people can relate to (and many do) than a Urshan Graduate School of Theology message that leave people scratching their heads and wonder where was the relevance. Can't save anyone passing around papers and giving dissertations why Divine Flesh is or is not a damnable heresy. But someone can get saved by hearing a message about the grace of God. I don't know of many preacher who can express the heartbeat of God as much as JA.
It does seem like he preaches the same sermon often. Maybe he does it because people are a little slow to applying the princples he preaches about during his sermons.

I know of the website you got that info from. It is inaccurate. My sister is close friends with Bro. James' children. He is so far from a preterist as Epley is from a television. My sister says jj's daughter has repeatedly asked the owners of that website to remove his name from that list withhout success. I believe a member of this forum was listed on that site but was quickly removed. Maybe that member can shed some light on that subject.
The owners of that website are the southbound end of a horse and the lies they spit out are not needed. I would send a pack of kool aide to the owner of that website if he promised he would drink it as soon as he landed in Guyana.

IMO, he preaches as if his listeners are incapable of understanding and/or receiving his Heavenly manna. But it's late and I'm sure my personal observations are all wrong. God's blessings to you my Brother.
You don't know apparently if he threw a microphone. Plus you have never heard him. Jeff Arnold like him or leave him does not bother me. But to critic, sit in judgement, and then to call the UPCI a "movement" and refer to the bowels is an INSULT.
Get real!
MO
Let me introduce you to the smiley!
He looks like this

I've gone and done it now! I'm on Facebook!!!
I like JA and have for many years... one thing to say in his favor...He hasn't changed...
another thing is I about died laughing in the middle of his message to the Tennesse Camp when he asked them "If they had climaxed and was through or it was over"!!! ......
That could be taken different ways...but I think that was his point...
I wish you could cite some examples. Your observations are different. That doesn't mean they are wrong. It could be a personal preference. Blessing to you as well...
