1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

It's very sad, Karla Jo. I've had my suspicions about TBN, and the fact that they defend heresy. It's now confirmed, and I pray that believers will stand up against TBN for this.

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

They canceled Rabbi Moshe Laurie, he was exposing Muslims and what was in the Koran over a year ago, so I am not surprised,

TBN is being PC, I will try to chose another station, and I will write them too because now that is 2 great shows gone and could be related to both speaking out about/against muslims.

Blessings

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

I don't have TV but this is a good alternative source from TBN. The majority of it is good.

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

WOW, They should care more that the truth gets out there then hurting someones feelings. Shepherds should care more about the sheep and expose the wolf.
2 tim 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.

Ephesians 5:11

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

Thanks Karla Jo,

I heard about this just recently myself. I have the highest respect for Dr. Jack Van Impe & Rellaxa...I've watched them for years, so did my Mom who went to be with the Lord in 1994. She prayed the sinners prayer with them.

Strange isn't it, sometimes the enemy lies within your own circles.

Heard that they want to get another channel to be able to continue their ministry.

Praying they'll continue in another place sharing their work with the world, until Jesus comes!

Blessings in Christ,

Valerie

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

They tried to silence Hal Lindsay a while back too. God's truth will prevail. His prophets will not be silenced. His message will be preached around the world. I don't always agree with Dr. Van Impe's views, but this man knows his Bible. He and J. R. Church, and Hal Lindsay are the teachers that brought me to be a watcher. His shows always end with an invitation. WE have no idea how many have come to the saving Grace of Christ by listening to him. Christ's message is a mighty sword. It will separate the true believers from the pretend ones.
Jesus was not politically correct. We should rely on the Word of God, not on what other people think.

Re: Jack VanImpe censored

Just got through watching Jack and Rexella Van Impe online and the program today was very strong. It is really important for every Christian to hear this and realize what is happening to Christianity. This looks like the great falling away of I Thessalonians 4 just before the rapture.

He tells about the network censoring him but does not name TBN. He refers you to his webpage for more info. Rick Warren may not be THE false prophet but he sure is setting up the stage for him. I remember the first time a friend gave me the book,"The Purpose Driven Life". I never read it as something about it didn't set right with me, just couldn't put my finger on it. Tonight it hit me what is wrong with that statement for a Christian. Warren puts forth our life goal as a 'purpose driven life'. The Bible commands a "Christ centered life", taking up our cross and following Jesus. Big difference.

One more signpost that the rapture is near. Here is teh link for the TV program page for Jack Van Impe. Just click on the date, June 15.

Jack Van Impe ministry abandons TBN in clash over Chrislam

Jack Van Impe ministry abandons TBN in clash over Chrislam*


Network turned back episode that challenged leaders over 'apostasy'


Posted: June 16, 2011

By Bob Unruh


A Christian ministry's decision to expose as "false teachers" several
celebrity ministers it believes are corrupting biblical teachings has
prompted a rift, with Jack Van Impe Ministries dropping plans to work in
the future with Trinity Broadcasting Network, where it has broadcast for
more than two decades.


"I Will Not Be Silenced! I will not allow anyone to tell me what I can
and cannot preach," Van Impe said in a statement when TBN would not
allow his program to air.


"When I see heretical teaching leading to apostasy, I will speak out,"
he said. "The Bible says 'All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:' (II Timothy 3:16). The Apostle Paul also
gives instructions in Titus 1:9-11, 13 'Holding fast the faithful word
as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to
exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and
vain talkers and deceivers ... Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's
sake...Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.'"


Van Impe said he immediately called his media agents and told them, "I
no longer wanted to air my program on Trinity Broadcasting Network; we
will take the tremendous amount of money that we were spending there to
obtain new stations that will allow us to continue to reach every square
mile of America with the truths of the Bible without this network."


The dispute arose over the issue of advocating for "Chrislam" and other
efforts that are designed to find "common ground" between Christians and
Muslims. TBN declined to air one of Van Impe's programs that contained
sharp criticisms of leaders such as Rick Warren of "The Purpose Driven
Life" fame and Robert Schuller.


In a statement from Van Impe Ministries today, Executive Director Ken
Vancil said his organization rejected an effort by TBN to reinstate the
programming and would work to develop alternative broadcast outlets
where they were needed.


"We would not be able to minister effectively if we had to look over our
shoulder wondering if a program was going to be censored because of
mentioning a name," Vancil said. "While there is hurt over this
incident, we hold no animosity towards TBN. Dr. Van Impe has often
expressed his appreciate to Paul and Jan (Crouch, of TBN) and all that
they have accomplished."


But he confirmed that Paul Crouch Sr. "cautioned" him as recently as
Monday "regarding Dr. Van Impe's naming of names and publicly rebuking
ministers and their teachings."


The dispute erupted just last week, when Van Impe's ministry planned to
air sharp criticism of Christians who say they want to "reach out" by
incorporating beliefs or practices of Islam into their Christian
organizations.


The program specifically mentioned Warren and Schuller, prompting TBN to
prevent the broadcast.


"We received a call from Matt Crouch of TBN informing us that they would
not run that program. ... The reason he gave was that we specifically
mentioned Rick Warren and Robert Schuller and that it is TBN's policy
that broadcasters are not allowed to rebuke other ministries," Van Impe
said.


"This is a rather hypocritical statement in light of the fact that they
have never said anything in the past when we have rebuked others such as
Bishop Spong, Bishop Pike, and in the past few months Harold Camping and
Rob Bell," he continued. "They also stated that they would not run any
future program where we offered our DVD Reclaiming & Restoring Biblical
Christianity as a premium for a donation to our ministry. A DVD that
exposes false teachers and the heresies that they proclaim."


TBN did not respond to WND's request for comment on the dispute.


Vancil said after TBN's decision not to air the program that there was
no future between the two groups.


"This was not an easy decision; we have had a relationship with TBN for
23 years. ... But at this point we feel it is time to part ways," he
said. "We have been able to over the years develop an independent
network of broadcast stations all across America as well as broadcasting
on TBN and Daystar. Our media agents have worked diligently and
determined that we need to add 14 stations to be able to continue fully
covering every mile of America.


"Praise God I am pleased to announce that negotiations have progressed
in these 14 markets and that contracts will be presented to the Van
Impes for approval in a matter of days," he said.


In the program that was cut, which remains available on the Jack Van
Impe Ministries website, the ministry launches its campaign regarding
"apostate ministers."


Van Impe explains that the Bible prophesies a one-world government and a
one-world religion during the end times, and his concern focuses on the
move among some Christian organizations to adopt some Islamic thought
and incorporate elements of Islam into their worship.


"We've got too many of these mush-mouth preachers. All they're doing is
two stories and a movie review," he said. But the Bible actually
outlines that its messages also are to "reprove and rebuke" Christians
for failing to live for God.


According to the broadcast, "Chrislam is a term that may be used more
often among apostate churches."


Such Islamic and evangelical Christian leaders, the report explained,
are working to find a way to promote "common beliefs the two religions
supposedly share."


Specifically cited were Warren and Schuller.


During a subsequent broadcast, also available on the ministry's website,
the advance of "Chrislam" thoughts and practices into Christian churches
was described as a "tsunami of compromise."


"This compromise is going to permeate Christianity," Van Impe said. "I'm
calling for the old-time religion to be restored.


"God called me to preach. And I will not stand down for any man, for any
church, for any Christian organization," he said.


The report noted that there are some Christian missionaries overseas who
have "eliminated 91 verses in God's Holy Word because they wanted to
please Islam and the Muslims."


Those references identify Jesus as the Son of God.


Other developments include moves by some Christian churches to remove
clear Christian emblems such as crosses.


He said what churches need today is that "old time religion" and less
"self-esteem psycho-babble."


Criticized on the program were recommendations attributed to Warren that
churches change music to a contemporary rock style, eliminate hymnbooks
and the choir, eliminate the Sunday evening or Wednesday prayer
services, remove the word "church" and refer to it as a "campus," and
reduce the use of the words "unsaved," "lost," "hell" and "heaven."


Other ministries have voiced criticism similar to Van Impe's.


Joe Schimmel, senior pastor of Blessed Hope Chapel in Southern
California and chief of the Good Fight Ministries, openly has questioned
whether church leaders are affirming Allah.


Schimmel, who is best known for "They Sold Their Souls for Rock n Roll,"
which exposes satanic influences behind much of yesterday and today's
popular music and how it negatively influences youth, suggested in a WND
column, "Could it be that we are witnessing the formation of the
prophesied one-world religion under the Antichrist? (Revelation 13:1-18) "


He cited Brian McLaren of the emerging church movement, who planned for
an Islamic Ramadan celebration. And he mentioned Warren's agreement to
address the Islamic Society of North America, which "the Department of
Justice categorized two years ago as a co-conspirator in financing a
foreign terrorist group!"


Another church leader, Tony Campolo, "a proponent of the so-called
'evangelical left' claimed that 'even if' Muslims 'don't convert, they
are God's people,'" Schimmel wrote.


"Even more chilling is the fact that over 300 prominent Christian
leaders signed a letter issued by the Yale Center for Faith and Culture
claiming that world peace is dependent on Muslims and Christians
recognizing 'Allah' and 'Yahweh' as the same God. This letter, titled
'Loving God and Neighbor Together,' was written in response to a signed
document by 138 Muslim leaders titled 'A Common Word Between Us and
You.' McLaren, Warren, Robert Schuller and Bill Hybels were just several
of the signatories to this outright betrayal of Christ!" he said.


TBN previously had a conflict over its intolerance for criticism of
Islam. It was in 2006 when Hal Lindsey, WND columnist and one of the
world's most popular non-fiction authors, clashed with the network
because TBN wanted him to soften his views on Muslims. Lindsey refused.

Re: Jack Van Impe ministry abandons TBN in clash over Chrislam

Several years ago I was a regular donor to the TBN network. Then I stopped because the Lord had me direct gifts to other specific ministries instead. One day, quite a while after I had stopped sending them money, Holy Spirit whispered to me that in the end, the AC would use the network as a tool to deceive via religion. I was shocked, and thought that this would happen DURING the trib, when of course, the AC would control everything.

Today I saw this on 5 Doves and realized that perhaps the spirit of AC may not wait until then. I was very surprised at this very subtle change. Did anyone else know about this?
