| | | Harvest: Greg Laurie
At the risk of opening a can of worms...
My family are considering attending one night of a Harvest event. Just to see what goes on and maybe to evangelize (our church is not one of the sponsors, of course). Any suggestions or (not too snide) comments would be welcome.

Are you going to come all the way down from Modesto just to see Greg Laurie or you just happen to be in town?

Who is Greg Laurie?? | WOW! I thought everyone knew who Greg Laurie was. I guess it is just a 'west coast' thing.

Is he a Baptist? Is he a charismatic? I guess I live in a sheltered little place not to have heard of him.

Not to hijack this thread, but I noticed you're in Modesto. Man, I miss home! We moved here from Manteca. A close friend of mine (unfortunately SDA) lives in Modesto. How are things out there these days?

Hi John,
I don't mind my threads hijacked, just don't hijack my car. Where did you go to church in Manteca? Do you know the Hollidays? (like Manteca is that small)

(like Manteca is that small) | not to hijack this thread again, (but now that I'm doing it, so be it) but Manteca's one of my favorite Afro-Cuban jazz songs that Dizzy Gillespie did a great version of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http:...?v=VxDG2PwSlIU

I know he believes in an unlimited atonement but Calvary Chapel itself refuses to take a stand between Arminianism/Semi-Pelegianism and Dortism. In fact Chuck Smith writes in "Calvary Chapel Distinctives" that he threw "Sovereignty of God" against the room because he could not prove Pink wrong! Refreshingly, he actually admits he doesn't know which view is correct so he does not take a stand either way. Greg Laurie is one of his students so I would assume he has a similar theology. I certainly would not place him in the ranks of the Methodists.
