Thank you, Jill, for this article, and thank you, Brannon Howse, for bring her on board Worldview Weekend. I also want to thank Walter Martin for carefully analyzing and exposing the errors of the Word-Faith preachers, such as Copeland, Hagin, and Tilton.

I loved this man and had the privelege of receiving his taped sunday school lessons from Melodyland for many years. Later I spoke at a conference and shared the venue with him, enabling us to spend some time traveling to and from the conference talking. I considered him a mentor and spiritual father - one I quote often. "Speak the truth in love - but for GOD'S sake, speak it!" Man do we need that now. Mr. Martin was a spiritual smart bomb. God bless you Jill for the article - and for not letting Hannegraff claim the crown he was not given.

Good point. While we need to love all people, christians or no, but we must be careful. Love coupled with words is the best Gospel message option available to us.
"Preach the gospel at all times...
when necessary use words."
-- St. Francis of Assisi
We must must must not to forget to be civil and loving while stern.....persistent, yet respectful. It is a delicate mission and thus we must be calm and patient.
Thank you for your article

I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Martin speak for several days in Salt Lake City in the early 70's. With compassion, conviction, wisdom, and truth supported by original source documents, Walter Martin laid out a powerful and compelling case for why he at once loved the Mormon people (citing his kinship to Mormon ancestors) and yet hated the theology, which he declared to be straight from the pit. Without acrimony or discourteousness,he ultimately silenced the vocal LDS apologists and he did it with love. I don't read Christianity Today any longer and was unaware of this controversy. Thank you, Jill, for setting the record straight. I can add a first-hand experience and hearty "Amen" to the commendation of your father's extraordinary contribution to the Church, as well as his compassion for those who are lost because they have not been confronted with the Way, the Truth and the Life. Dr. Martin showed us how to speak truth with love, with boldness and with grace.

Most excellent article. One MOST pastors need to read, as well. Far too many evangelicals have forgotten (or never learned) the lesson Barnhouse taught Peale: "Before anyone can think positively, they must think negatively."
I am thankful for Ray Comfort's teaching, "Hells' Best Kept Secret" as well as all the other faithful saints who do fall into the satanic trap of loving the culture of world at the expense of the Gospel.

Thank you. Reading "Kingdom of the Cults" changed my perspective and made me see those following false religions in a new way.

Even though I only learned who he was after he was already with the Lord, your dad has been one of my heroes for many years. Jesus bless you, Mrs. Rische!

Thank you for sharing this about your Dad. I, for one, would hardly be able to discern good and evil in these last days if it had not been for your Dad. When the Lord led me to your Dads book, The Kingdom of the Cults, and I began to study the error in the different cults with the help of his book, I was armed with the ammunition I needed to discern and resist the Falling Away that has penetrated the Church today. What is the ammunition? The Word of God that your Dad used to support everything he wrote about. I thank God for your Dad's love for those caught up in the error and his willingness to expose it, that their souls might be saved. He, as well as Johanna Michaelson, whom I believed your Dad mentored, have given me hope and strength to continue to believe for my sisters who are steeped in error, one in the New Age Movement and the other a practicing Muslim. I am not surprised that your Dad would be attacked in this late hour when pressure is being put on the Bride to tolerate error! Rest assured, the Bride sees through it. The Bride has ears to hear what the Spirit says. Your Dad taught what the Spirit was saying and IS saying very loudly at this time, warning the Bride to believe only what the Bible says and not what some Professor might come up with! Any one, President of a Seminary, theologian, or otherwise, who thinks that we should celebrate John Smith's birthday in an attempt to placate the largest so called "Christian" cult in the world is not even worth listening to." His error is so ghastly that it fits the endtimes prophesies about the great Falling Away! It is true but sad that those who want to serve Jesus will be persecuted. And it is true that those who love Jesus will seek Him with their whole heart. Men like this President, seek to please other men first rather than truely seeking Jesus with their whole hearts. Heaven help him and God bless you!
