The Trinity is not that Important!
It seems like such a nice picture.... two well-known preachers standing side by side, working together for the the kingdom of God and proclaiming the word of God. But the question is, exactly which God are they working for and speaking about? Why do I ask that?
Well let's examine the picture:
To the left is Jack Graham:
Dr. Jack Graham is the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, one of America’s largest congregations, with a membership of 26,000.
The doctrinal statement for the church clearly states:
There is one God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; who subsist in unity, and also as three separate distinct Persons.
To the Right is T.D. Jakes
Bishop Jakes pastors what Christianity Today calls “one of
America’s fastest growing mega-churches.” The Potter’s House, a multiracial,
nondenominational church with 50-plus active outreach ministries, has dominated church
growth records since its inception in 1996. In its 10-year existence, the church has grown from
the 50 families that relocated with the Jakes family from West Virginia to Dallas to more than
30,000 members.
The Potters House:
This is from their statement of faith:
God -There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
T.D. Jakes is a heretic. He categorically denies the essential and foundational doctrine of the Trinity. He does not believe in three persons of the God-head: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit co-existing, co-eternal, and co-equal from all eternity. He is what is known as a Modalist; a Sabellianist; a Oneness Pentecostal. He worships and serves a different god than the One Triune God of the Bible.
But here we see Pastor Jack Graham standing next to T.D Jakes hosting the Global Day of Prayer! My question is: Are they going to pray to the Trinitarian God or the heretical false god of Oneness Pentecostals?
But hey, It is 2007 and who really cares about the doctrine of the Trinity anymore!
