A Christian minister on national TV when asked to present the Gospel should be able to define the Gospel. "WE AFFIRM" against Joel Osteen

If you have changed channels on a TV within the last 2 years, or read the New York Times "best selling books" list within the last year you know who Joel Osteen is. On Friday June 20th, Osteen was a guest on the Larry King show. (Read the full transcript here)

Here are some of the sadder comments made by Joel:

KING: What if you're Jewish or Muslim, you don't accept Christ at all?
OSTEEN: You know, I'm very careful about saying who would and wouldn't go to heaven. I don't know ...

KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They're wrong, aren't they?
OSTEEN: Well, I don't know if I believe they're wrong. I believe here's what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God with judge a person's heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don't know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don't know. I've seen their sincerity. So I don't know. I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.
