who is the television preacher with the big smile?

That describes most of them, actually.  Pat Robertson is the one I think of as always smiling, though.

Jonathan Edwards was a dynamic preacher. All of his sermons were graphic. However, he did get his point across with great force. Personally I like his style, and he doesn't ALWAYS preach about the wrath of God, I'm sure he knows Gods nore loving then bitter with us. He just wanted to show the seriousness of sin.

Apostolic, Pentecostal Pastor who baptizes in Jesus' Name!  We see LOTS of MIRACLES at our church.  People out of wheelchairs, legs grow, tumors vanish!

I'm not sure, but I think his main prophet was a cartoon character.

He was just showing off his winning smile to the millions of viewers worldwide

JIMMY SWAGGERT is "THE MAN" -- nobody can touch him -- Jim Jones was never on TV -- Warren Jeffords hasn't been on national TV without the help of the FBI -- JIMMY SWAGGERT has been down, but he always get back up -- always tuning in from some rural warehouse turned church, sending out a message of hope and love to elderly alzheimers patients with fresh social security checks ready to buy their way to heaven.......CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!!........Jimmy preaches, he sings, he plays piano, and all those lessons cost money...send it in now...keep the lights on in the "Backwoods Chapel of Jesus".....

A self-righteous preacher preaches the word of god per say, while branding not of his denomination as damned, until they see the light. A preacher driven by the holy spirit should be a man of universal vision, preaching harmony with all of 'mankind.' Even the old testament had the parable of 'The Good Samaritan', exemplifying that faith and virtue are sometimes confused.

Oh thank you! I didnt know about Paul and Jan but it is great to finally see some justice there.  Definetly tares. Oh I despise the way the majority of TBN uses God as novelty. And the way Benny Hinn ....BLASPHEMES..... Did you know that back in like the late 80s or early 90's he prophesied Jesus' return in the next few days? He also did a big thing where he told everyone that Jesus was going to appear before the rapture at some show he was doing in another country. And he did this as he was raising money. He tells people to give to his ministry to recieve their blessings for the year. A man that I know of went to one of his shows and said that Benny Hinn was requesting minimal dontations of 100 dollars. I am a sheep. Im not a very good one, but Christ washed my spots white as snow. I cant wait till he returns and takes me home. Bless you for your courage in asking this question. The truth must be told.\n\nThis stuff is not gossip. There is video/audio recorded proof of the false teachings of these people. WE are not to sit around while psuedo christians lure people away from Christ. \n\ncheck this out for evidence\n\nhttp://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/bhinn.html\n\nand for im3ngs: These people surely are leading people to something. There are many false christs out there. Lies do not bring you to salvation.

Did someone nominate the snake-handling preacher for a Darwin award?

Charismatic preachers claim that 'god' speaks to them directly. \n\nPat Robertson would be an example, his followers would count as a subculture.

He had an incredibly large body of work and almost never failed to give the TV viewing public what they liked to watch, and often before they knew they wanted to watch it.\n\nNot bad for a guy who looked like the creepy preacher from "Poltergeist 2."

Nobody likes them TV Christians. \nAs long as he's not begging for money he has to give a good sermon to keep the suckers sending cash.\nIt's ok to listen but don't send money to support him.

He is one of these electric preachers or TV Evangelists.\nwhat ever you call them.  He makes a lot of money he is a millionaire.  On Forbes 400 list of richest men in America.\nthink he is a pedofile.  They don't have to be moral just a good snake oil salesman.

I certainly can't say that I agree with EVERYTHING Piper says, but I have read several of his books, and listened to many of his sermons. I think Piper is probably the best preacher/teacher of our time, and certainly the most Theocentric (since Jonathan Edwards) that I know of.\n\nThe link below leads to a site where you can listen to sermons, read transcripts, and ask for other resouces by John Piper

I don't know where he is, but I sure do miss him. We need his simple message of "Come to Jesus" and the simple humor that goes with it. \n\nRev Trask, please come back! There are people on this forum that need you!\n\nI sure hope he didn't get kicked off. You know how YA is.
