Matt Black Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Quote from another Christian website:- "The fundamentalist world is agog with rumors that Jack and Rexella Van Impe are contemplating converting to Catholicism. Who's next? Tammy Fay Bakker? Ernest Angley?" Anyone else heard this or know anything about it? Yours in Christ Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gal. 5:22,23 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Where did you hear that? I've caught him quoting from the Catechism a few times on his show. He has nice things to say about the Church. However, his fervent belief in the rapture wouldn't go over too well there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eremite Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 No, he's not converting (at least he has given no indication that he is). He simply loves Catholics (he had a big conversion like 25 years ago after hearing a bunch of anti-Catholics referring to Catholics as "Papist Rats").

My first step to conversion was accepting that Catholics were not evil. Then I realized that if Catholics were not evil, then there must be something to them. Then the Holy Spirit took over. Sounds to me like God might be calling him home. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Black Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I've asked the website concerned for a source. I think he was raised a Catholic, wasn't he? Yours in Christ Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessalonian Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I posted this on Open MIC earlier this morning. [url="http://phorum.phatmass.com/index.php?showtopic=33130"]http://phorum.phatmass.com/index.php?showtopic=33130[/url] I am pretty sure it's true. I believe he anounced it on his Apr. 23 program but can't hear the audio at work. I'll get the link to that show and perhaps someone can listen and tell us. Be right back.

geo Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Just finished watching the April 23 show, and they don't say they are converting, but they do talk about loving Catholics, and the belief of the church that Christ will come again. THey speak a lot about their love of Pope Benedict XVI. There is a big difference between loving Catholics, and becoming one. We can pray that they come home to the Church, but that's up to God.

Don John of Austria Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) Well I remember almost 10 years ago when he went through why exactly orthodox Catholics where Fundimentalist accordingthe the WCC' own definition. Believeing the 5 fundementals and all. I pray sincerly for his conversion. Edited May 4, 2005 by Don John of Austria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertwoman Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I liked it when he said early on that people had no right to call JPII evil or the anitchrist. Here is a man professing the love of Christ, the death, burial, and resurrection, and people have the gaul to say anything evil about need to check themselves thouroughly.
