Criticisms

There's still a lot of problems with the criticisms sources. It's stated Jakes denies the Trinity but the source says "...teaching compromises the Trinity" (http://www.equip.org/articles/loving-the-trinity). That's a bit different and the source really isn't even centered around Jakes.

Another is "Jakes believes in Word of Faith doctrine meaning anyone "can exercise the power of words to get whatever we want from God."" The problem with this is it looks like Jakes says, "anyone can exercise the power of words to get whatever we want from God." That's not really where the critical article is going, but we're in a theological argument.

Both of these are theological arguments that I question are even notable. Basileias (talk) 00:09, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 2012 discussion on his Trinitarian beliefs in the Elephant Room with Mark Driscoll got plenty of notable coverage, so I have put that in with 2 citations. – Fayenatic London 19:16, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pentecostal Oneism is an interesting claim that I've consistently heard regarding TD Jakes but I can find no evidence for it. If you can find a notable source claiming it, you can include it. If you find articles that also defend that position, or even TD Jakes rejecting it, it should also be included. Transparency is the best policy :) 110.33.120.196 (talk) 11:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bishop

Would it be useful to address that he's a self-styled bishop? There's no such thing as a non-denominational bishop, for an unaffiliated church. Who made him a bishop? ChocolateBlender (talk)ChocolateBlender —Preceding undated comment added 13:47, 9 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Praise from Selena Gomez

In this Hillsong related article (http://www.christiantoday.com/article/selena.gomez.back.at.church.hearts.hillsong/41976.htm), Selena Gomez remarks "This morning at @bishopjakes The Potters house. Unbelievable message. Had me in tears. Thank you Bishop for reminding me why I should always keep going." 110.33.120.196 (talk) 11:03, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
