I always get myself into stuff. I say to myself: "Dave, just smile and keep your mouth shut." Then I quickly ignore myself and speak up anyway. We had our small group at my house and one lady menitons how much she likes T.D. Jakes. She is also quite stunned that one of the guys there doesn't even know who Jakes is. Well one things leads to another and I mention that Jakes doesn't affirm an orthodox belief in the Trinity. I didn't even get into some of the other junk he preaches, but i could tell this lady was troubled (as she should be). I really like her too. She's got spunk and fire and I like that. I hope I don't end up alienating here. I get a little tired of these celebrity preachers: Jakes, Olsteen & ALL OF THE TBN preachers and preacherettes. Far too many people watch them and swallow what they say. Whatever happened to discerment? Norman Geisler said, “I know T.D. Jakes is very popular, and I know people don't like his ministry being called a cult, but it is. It would have been condemned by any orthodox church down through the centuries… Jakes promotes modalism, which denies the doctrine of the Trinity.” More from Jonathan Moorhead.

I don’t know where I’ve been, but somehow I missed the whole, “T.D. Jakes denies the Trinity” thing. Until yesterday. I was reading some other guy’s blog and he was ripping Ed Young, Jr. for allowing Jakes to speak at Fellowship Church (because of the modalism thing). And then today, I read about it on your blog. Weird.
Thanks for keeping this issue alive, David.
Jonathan,
Thank you for your research. I hope readers here will take the time to read your findings.
