Yet Joel Osteen did EXACTLY just that for both me and my dad. Therefore for you or anyone to open their mouths and claim he is a false preacher your barking up the wrong tree considering I was saved by Jesus Christ through the encouraging words of Joel Osteen who convinced me to ask Jesus to save me.

[John Rivera]

Yes I did mean everything I wrote and I had already seen the interview you speak of before I even posted any of my comments. I stand exactly by what I said. A preacher of the devil is not going to sit in Church and convince people to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior.

mr rivera i dont doubt that you and your father truly gave your life to christ and i hope you really are saved and as i want forevery person i do not wish to argue at all my friend i am just asking you to honestly watch his interveiw with larry king and listen to osteen answer and tell me if osteen is being truthful and as far as the save yourself comment i was going off what you did write you prob did not mean to write it that way i now know what u meant

[John Rivera]

If you don't want to believe that then that's your choice but I stand with what I have said. Osteen is convincing thousands of people to cry out to God so they can be saved in the name of Jesus and there is nothing devil worshiping about that considering the fact that the VERY LAST THING SATAN WANTS is for us to be SAVED in the name of Jesus. So if he is a minister of the devil as you all "claim" then he is doing a very good job at doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what satan wants in the first place!

[John Rivera]

I am not going to argue with you because that is something little 2 year olds do. I made it clear where I stand. I said Joel Osteen is not a false preacher because of him my dad was saved in the name of jesus as was I and no Joel Osteen did not do the saving GOD DID. GOD came into our lives and showed us how much better it was now that we called on him. But he used Joel Osteen to convince us to call on him for help in the first place.

[John Rivera]

God saves people all the time. He does. Joel Osteen was at point with me and with my dad. He said some key bible verses and some key things that caused my dad to think for himself and to pray unto God. Praying. Something my father had not done in years since he had left his parents house. So you tell me Osteen is wrong yet the same man was able through his sermon and bible verses he was able to convince my dad on the radio show to pray to God in his time of need and help and to ask Jesus to help

[John Rivera]

Joel Osteen said that he wants us all to be saved in the name of Jesus if we just call to God and have Jesus save us. Joel Osteen NEVER said that I should save myself in the name of Jesus. Stop putting words in my mouth I never said. I said Joel Osteen said we should be saved in the name of Jesus by calling on Jesus to save us. That is the point I was trying to make the whole time. I was saved in Jesus name by calling on Jesus. I am not stupid I know you cannot save yourself silly Christian.

listen to paul washer steve lawson mcaruther men who speak of sin and hell and truth !

[unstopableravens]

you also mention that osteen said you need to save yourself in his sons name. that is impossible we cant save ourselves. please watch osteen being interviewed by larry king he was denying what christ said about how to get salvation. if u want to listen to godly men of our time
