Some Detractors Consider Jack Van Impe False Teacher A Bad Person

By Catalina Nielsen


The opinion held by his detractors is Jack Van Impe false teacher. The opinion of his followers is the opposite. They consider him a true minister who leads the faithful in the right direction. He has a weekly television series and those followers send offerings to keep it on the air.

At one time Van Impe was a follower of the Baptist Minister, Jerry Falwell. As Falwells cohort, he followed the dictates of Fundamentalist Baptists. It is now claimed by those who protest his leadership, that his dedication to that religion is all in the past.

Some consider his new liberal views good. To the strict Baptist fundamentalists, it is a step on the pathway to hell. His allegiance with the Catholic religion are looked on as detrimental.

His critics deplore his new beliefs. They claim he no longer is motivated by Jesus. He has turned towards the Pope. They say it is the Pope, with his edicts of Catholicism, who motivates Van Impe now. He and wife Rexella have been seen on television praising and espousing these new beliefs.

Each person in this world can make up his own mind about what religious beliefs are worthy of following. A child who is raised up in one religion sometimes changes to another later in life. We all enjoy freedom of religion in the US as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of others.

Final judgment of how each person worships will not be made on earth. There are many different versions of the Holy Bible. Some people object to the modernized version and others find it brings clarity to the teachings contained within. Rather than bemoaning the details of how to worship, the entire basis of religion should be kindness and charity towards others.

It is debatable whether heaven will be a segregated place. Will each religion and the branches of that religion be in a separate township? It seems unlikely. It seems more likely that all denominations will be welcomed to the same place.

If he is a false prophet that fact will become apparent at the appropriate time. In addition to the Roman Catholic worshipers, the religious beliefs of Billy Graham, a Baptist minister and lecturer, are considered acceptable by most standards. Graham is world renowned, familiar to and respected by millions of followers.

The career of Van Impe included recordings of gospel readings and a half-hour television show. He reports on religious news of interest to his followers. He and wife, Rexella co host the show once a week.

Van Impes father, Oscar, was an atheist who drank and encouraged his son to consume alcohol along with him. But, this changed when Jack was twelve. His father embraced Christianity and became a missionary. Neither of the Van Impe men drank a drop of alcohol after that day.

After Jack graduated from high school, he entered the Detroit Bible Institute where he earned a degree. In the course of his career, he was associated with Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell. Whether he should be regarded as Jack Van Impe false teacher, or true preacher of the gospel is a matter of opinion. Angel of God or son of the devil, is he either or in a more neutral position.
