Re: Kings of Leon
Considering the organization Papa Leon was a part of, there isn't much of a chance for a real encounter with Jesus.

Not in every case. Throw in whatever Dad did, most likely some inconsistencies you get a receipe for a group of kids not wanting whatever troubled their family so much. Ministry and Revivalism doesn't equate with Jesus, most likely they never really encountered Jesus.

Re: Kings of Leon
I feel really good about the boys chances at redemption. When they realize relationship with Christ is different than religiosity they will begin their journey.
It is unfair to suggest these guys never had a real encounter with Jesus. Many people do have a genuine experience with Christ, but the experience gets lost in religion burdens established by denominational thinking.
I have a feeling those guys haven't shut the door on Christ. I pray the revelation of who Jesus is overpowers the false illusion that religion portrays.

For sure Denominationalism can be a burden to some, an obstacle to others, but in some cases Unites many around a certain cause or teaching. But often as the years go by the original intent is lost.

But isn't that what you are suggesting? That there wasn't much of a chance for a real encounter with Jesus? Incredible!

Yup.
He basically contradicted himself in those 2 back-to-back posts.
I thought that was kind of strange.
-------------------
Anyway, despite its flaws, I believe the Lord has used the UPCI organization to bring millions of people into a real relationship with him, myself included. I'm very appreciative of that.

Well, you know that old saying. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Hundreds of thousands of people have had very real encounters with Jesus through the UPCI. It's just plain crazy to attempt to discredit that.
I already said this once, but I'll say it again: Your recent personal experiences are tainting your posts and opinions with excessive cynicism and even bitterness. If you can't clean it up, eventually no one will give any credence to anything you post.
