Bill, Some ministers don't do it for me. I still will not speak ill of them unless they were in some sort of blatant sin that needed to be revealed to protect someone else. Just look at the OT example of David and Saul, how David repented for cutting off his shirt tail even though Saul was trying to kill him.

I've heard Joel preach a couple times and while his delivery isn't my taste, I didn't hear him say anything that was just wrong. Are you sure you can say why those people go to the alter. The scripture does say that it is the goodness of God that leads men to repentance and that we shouldn't judge.

Romans 2
2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
