Revelation and Prophecy :: EschatologyJack Van ImpeWhenever I hear someone ask what people think of a certain preacher, I can't help but think of Phillipians 1:15-18:
- 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. (emphasis mine)
Obviously, for the Christian, we do need to be careful and "search the Scriptures to see if these things be so." But as long as Christ is being preached, we can rejoice that perhaps more will come to know Christ through what is being preached, good or bad.
