Promise Keepers Yea or Nea

[drgibson]

Well I just found out that the conference is going to have a booth set up at the Promise Keepers event this year. So I thought I'd get a feel for how people felt about this organization/ministry.

I'm a photographer and I have worked for them in the past shooting some of their events. Can't wait to hear/read your responses.

Aren't they heavy promoters of the Evangelical ecumenical movement?

If so, I marvel that the conference would associate itself with this movement.

Yet, it's really not surprising, since the SDA church has become spiritually passive in many ways.

God has told his true followers to come out of babylon. We are not to join with those that hold not the truth as revealed to Gods remnant for these end times. Yes we should find ways to witness and share the great truths with them but we are counseled not to join in with their ways.

The last poll that I read on pornography, had the percentage of PK's who viewed it at 65%. Not very reassuring from a mothers perspective.
However I must also state here that the percentage of the average male church goer, who views it, is not much better.
A sad inditement on faith in general.

from their website: Promise Keepers is a Christ-centered organization dedicated to introducing men to Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord; and then helping them to grow as Christians.

What could I say, but those who refuse to see things for what they really are will remain blind to the truth.

Fill us in on who the "Promise Keepers" are.

I guess we just assumed they worked over in Australia too

They are a men's group that holds rallies and invites men from varying denominations to make pledges to be godly men.

That is the short answer. It gets more problematic from there.

From their Web Site;

Promise Keepers is a Christ-centered organization dedicated to introducing men to Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord; and then helping them to grow as Christians. This is mainly accomplished through our Seven Promises and our men's conference ministry. Millions of men have participated since 1990 when PK first began. Click here for our history.
Our Vision:
"Men Transformed Worldwide"
Our Mission:
"Promise Keepers is dedicated to igniting and uniting men to be passionate followers of Jesus Christ through the effective communication of the 7 Promises."

Summary
​

We affirm the historic Christian faith and proclaim the life-transforming Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospel is good news, the very best news anyone can hear.

1. The one living God, who eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, loves everyone.
2. God uniquely revealed and inspired the Bible, so that it alone is God’s Word written, hence the Holy Scriptures are the only inerrant authority for what we believe about God’s moral law, salvation from sin and how we should live.
3. Since the disbelief and disobedience of Adam and Eve, all humans have failed to obey God’s two major laws summed up by the Lord Jesus Christ. We have failed to love God with our whole being and we have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves. People have become slaves to selfishness and are alienated from God and one another.
4. Jesus’ death in our place reconciles us to God. His atoning sacrifice provided redemption from the power of sin, forgiveness for our guilt, and reconciliation to Himself and others. We become acceptable to God, or justified, not by works, but by God’s grace alone, through faith in Christ alone. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.
5. The Holy Spirit draws sinners to repentance, belief in the Gospel and trust in the risen Christ of whom it speaks. The Holy Spirit then assures believers of salvation, gives them gifts for servant ministries, and empowers them to meet the needs of the lost, the poor, and the oppressed.
6. All believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are members of His one international, multi-ethnic and transcultural body called the universal church. Its unity is displayed when we reach beyond racial and denominational lines to demonstrate the Gospel’s reconciling power.
7. Our primary calling is to communicate the Gospel to everyone in our generation and nurture disciples. Nothing must divert us from carrying out our Lord’s Great Commission until His glorious return to reign in righteousness.
