If God has opened the door, He should walk through.
I pray that he doesn't compromise on anything CLEARLY BIBLICAL.
If he does I'll be a little let down, seriously. No, my confidence is not in him, it is in Jesus Christ. I'd just hate to see the man of God take down on something that he shouldn't.
If he does "take down", will his compromising give any kind of credence to the arguments made by the WPF'ers?

The key word is "IF."
Too many folks build the door and push it open and then say God did it. Chances are not only is God not in the building He probably isn't anywhere near the same neighborhood.

And the "IF" can only be proven, or disproven, by time.
So, I'l reserve my assessments and let time tell the story.

Sure. But no doubt one only has to look at the progression of the history that has brought a person to a particular point to get a pretty good gut feeling for what their future holds. "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future."

I would tend to agree with this to a point.
But, if you look at the course a person's life is taking, or will take, solely on the friends they surround themselves with, you might not have predicted Peter's future, or Judas' future.

Hmmm, really? I would say that both of them changed their group of friends at a critical juncture in their life. For one it was their salvation; for the other it was their damnation.
If the ENTIRE congregation was carnal (Which I find EXTREMELY hard to believe) how could they let the Lord show up and take control of the services?
Bottom line, the Lord inhabits the Praises of His people.....God shows up anytime He is praised, you dont have to be saved to Praise Him. The key is, once God shows up, are you going to let Him in (in your hearts, in your mind, in to change your charachter). Some people just love the "emotional" side of God and the way He can make you feel during corporate worship HOWEVER its up to YOU to take Him at His word and litteraly receive the transforming power of the Holy Ghost into your life......

Point well taken.
However, I still do have issue with the statement that the ENTIRE congregation is carnal. I'm quite sure there are some good spiritual people there.
