World Net Daily:  A Christian ministry's decision to expose as "false teachers" several celebrity ministers it believes are corrupting Biblical teachings has promoted a rift, with Jack Van Impe ministries dropping plans to work in the future with Trinity Broadcasting Network, where it has broadcast for more than two decades.  "I will not be silenced!  I will not allow anyone to tell me what I can and cannot preach," Van Impe said in a statement when TBN would not allow his program to air.  "When I see heretical teaching leading to apostasy, I will speaking out," he said.  "The Bible says 'All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness' (2 Timothy 3:16).  The apostle Paul also gives instructions in Titus 1:9-11, 13 'Holding fast the faithful Word which he has been taught, that he might be able to exhort and convince the gainsayers by sound doctrine.  There are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they should not teach, for filthy lucre's sake (for the sake of money), therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.'"  Van Impe said he immediately called his medial agents and told them, "I no longer want to air my program on Trinity Broadcasting Network; we will take the tremendous amount of money that we are spending there to obtain new stations that will allow us to continue to reach every square mile of America with the truths of the Bible without this network."  The dispute arose over the issue of advocating for "Chrislam" and other efforts that are designed to find "common ground" between Christians and Muslims.  TBN declined to air one of Van Impe's programs that contained sharp criticisms of leaders such as Rick Warren of "The Purpose Driven Life" fame and Robert Schuller.  In a statement from Van Impe Ministries today, Executive Director Kim Vancil said his organization rejected an effort by TBN to reinstate the programming and would work to develop alternative broadcast outlets where they were needed.  "We would not be able to minister effectively if we had to look over our shoulder wondering if a program was going to be censored because of mentioning a name," Vancil said.  "While there is hurt over this incident, we hold no animosity toward TBN.  Dr. Van Impe has often expressed his appreciation to Paul and Jan (Crouch of TBN) and all that they have accomplished."  But he confirmed that Paul Crouch Senior "cautioned" him as recently as Monday "regarding Dr. Van Impe's naming of names and publicly rebuking ministries and their teachings."  The dispute erupted just last week, when Van Impe's ministry planned to air sharp criticism for Christians who say they want to "reach out" by incorporating belief's or practices of Islam into their Christian organizations.  The program specifically mentioned Warren and Schuller, prompting TBN to prevent the broadcast.  "We received a call from Matt Crouch of TBN informing us that they would not run that program....The reason he gave was that we specifically mentioned Rick Warren and Robert Schuller and that it is TBN's policy that broadcasters are not allowed to rebuke other ministries," Van Impe said.  "This is a rather hypocritical statement in light of the fact that they have never said anything in the past when we have rebuked others such as Bishop Spong, Bishop Pike and in the past few months, Harold Camping and Rob Bell," he continued.  The also stated that they would not run any future program where we offered our DVD, Reclaiming & Restoring Biblical Christianity as a premium for a donation to our ministry.  A DVD that exposes false teachers and the heresies that they proclaim."  TBN did not respond to WND's request for a comment on the dispute.  

My Comments:  "Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the last days some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" 1 Timothy 4:1.  Muslims deny the deity of Christ, therefore we have absolutely no foundation with their faith whatsoever, without giving up our own faith in Christ Jesus.  Jack Van Impe is absolutely right.  The Bible says, "Can two walk together, unless they agree?" Amos 3:3  We are living in the last days, before the return of Jesus, and the passage of 1 Timothy 4:1 speaks expressly about what is happening in the world today.  The Bible says to "Mark those who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned AND AVOID THEM" Romans 16:17.  The reason we are to avoid them is because "evil influences corrupt" 1 Corinthians 15:33.  This is the Word of God.  Either we obey it and stay in the will of God, or disobey and end up corrupted.  It is as simple as that.  God is a serious God and His commandments and statutes were not given so we could go our own way; He expects "His children to obey His voice" John 10:27.
