Criswell Endorses Schuller Autobiography. Dr. W.A. Criswell, pastor emeritus of the historic First Baptist Church (Dallas) and a leading SBC conservative, penned an endorsement for apostate Robert Schuller's new autobiography: "Prayer: My Soul's Adventure With God." Norman Vincent Peale, Schuller's mentor, is eulogized many times throughout the book, and Schuller was nearly euphoric when Mother Teresa "blessed" him. Other endorsers are: Paul (David) Cho, TBN's Paul Crouch, Jack Hayford, and John Wimber. SBC patriarch Criswell has praised Schuller's ministry for many years.--CC Schuller A Universalist, New Ager? As one of 16 writers who responded to Pope John Paul's "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" book, in a new book, "A Reader's Companion to Crossing the Threshold of Hope," Robert Schuller said: "God has promised salvation to all of us. But only when we realize that we have been saved and we accept God's love do we open ourselves to Jesus Christ." He speaks of experiencing "the Christ within" us, and "innermost potential." He said "meaning" lies in a God who is committed to our happiness, and that belief in God helps us become possibility thinkers. Schuller said: "When we know we have been redeemed and we know we are part of God's family, we are ready to dream that great divine dream of building the kingdom of God in the world."--CC Fuller Seminary Apostasy. Fuller Theological Seminary supports women's ordination and has some women theological professors. It was founded in 1947 to promote Biblical inerrancy. It repudiated inerrancy under president David Allan Hubbard. Hubbard endorsed Robert Schuller's heretical "Self-Esteem" book which re-defined sin as the loss of self-esteem, salvation as the creation of self-esteem, and Christ as Self-Esteem incarnate. Fuller has now become "a headquar ters for indoctrinating students in ecumenism, psychology, and charismatic heresies."--CC Palau Speaks at SBC Meeting Evangelist Luis Palau was listed as a June 19 speaker at the Southern Baptist Convention's Dallas meeting. He is a Promise Keepers promoter and speaker and is often referred to as "the Billy Graham of Latin America." Evang. David Ring who often speaks on Jerry Falwell, Tim Lee and other pseudo-fundamentalist platforms was a listed June 17 speaker at the SBC meeting. The SBC June 15-16 Pastors' Conference speakers included Campus Crusade founder/president Bill Bright, John Maxwell, Wellington Boone, and Rick Warren. Maxwell and Warren recently spoke for liberal Robert Schuller (6/15 CC), and Boone is a Promise Keepers speaker. Life Action's Nancy DeMoss spoke at a Ladies meeting at the Pastor's Conference. --CC Schuller Trains Homosexual Pastors?--The Spring '97 Evangelicals Concerned RECORD newsletter said, "More than 80 gay and lesbian pastors and lay leaders from the Metropolitan Community Churches participated in this year's Robert Schuller Institute for Successful Church Leadership at Schuller's Crystal Cathedral. The speakers included Bill Hybels, John Maxwell and Rick Warren." Flight Attendant to Sue Schuller--The flight attendant who accused Dr. Robert H. Schuller of assaulting him in June plans to file a $5 million lawsuit against him (9/15 Chr. News). He says Schuller drank alcohol, and shook him vigorously, causing injuries and pain. Schuller is pastor of the Crystal Cathedral and an "advisor" to President Clinton. Dr. Allen P. Dickerson says (9/97 Maranatha Baptist Watchman) Schuller "who has such a loving ministry that he will never preach on the wrath of God for fear of driving people away from God and will never call lost people sinners, lost his cool...." Schuller Punished---Televangelist Robert Schuller pleaded innocent to an assault charge of "shoving a male flight attendant" (see 8/15 CC). Prosecutors will drop those charges if he completes six months of federal supervision. He agrees to this and to pay a fine of $1,100 to the FAA. Schuller Self-Esteem--Robert Schuller defending himself against assault charge of flight attendant (9/1 CC, 10/27 CN): "I am very proud of who I am...I have never broken a single one of the ten commandments. I have not broken any of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and so I'm proud of my faith and my message." "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
