Let's not forget - and I want to really walk on eggshells here - that in my very limited understanding, Dr. Stanley is no longer the "husband of one wife", having gotten a divorce in 2000. The man had once stated that, should he and Anna ever get divorced, he would resign. When that day actually happened, however, he refused to do so.
Aside from Stanley’s theology, let me comment on this statement regarding his divorce.
1) Dr. Stanley can not be accused of being the husband of more than one wife as he has never remarried.
2) SBC practice is inconsistent and unbiblical on this for two reasons- a) they most often refuse to ordain or install officers who have been divorced, without regard to cause of the divorce or whether the person has remarried; and b) they do not acknowledge (as the WCF XXIV does) there are biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage.
3) The Atlanta congregation seems to have made an exception for Dr. Stanley because of his prominence.
4) He would not be bound to his previous statement if he was promising something unbiblical.
5) If Stanley’s divorce could be regarded as biblically justified (and his wife is the one who refused reconciliation and pursued the divorce), the congregation goes beyond their biblical authority in requiring what amounts to a vow of future celibacy to continue in ministry as their pastor.
6) To my knowledge, this was never handled by a church court, as might happen in a Presbyterian situation; so we can not judge whether Mrs. Stanley had biblical grounds to seek a divorce.
7) I thank God for WCF XXIV and a system of ascending courts in Presbyterian polity.
What happened to the Charles Stanley I grew up with?
Perhaps you have grown and matured in the faith.
Is he reformed or arminian in his beliefs?
God chose to adopt you as His child before the foundation of the world. Why? For one reason and one reason only: He wanted to.
I would pick Spongebob Squarepants over Joyce Meyer or Benny Hinn!
My father-in-law has been a very active member at FBC for more than 20 years. I attend almost every time I am in Atlanta, and I have heard dozens of his sermons.
He is not only Arminian, he is anti-reformed.
