I went through the course about 10 years ago and so it was whatever version was around then. I remember the Ezzo wife on the tapes expressly explaining why we should prevent kids from praying in Christ's name and the like. Quote:

My brother and I were having a lengthy discussion about this very thing last week. I do not remember hearing anything of this sort as a young child growing up as a fundy (Arminian-ish) Baptist. I do not hear it in the PCA churches we've been visiting as we have been finding a new church home. I did hear it often and just recently in our former Bible church here in Greenville, SC -- from the pulpit and in the Mother's Room.
Ezzo goes to the multi-campused Seacoast Church conglomerate here in South Carolina now. I assume you all know his spotty church history. But his ideas are very popular down there. . . . Maybe it's the SC soil or something. |
