A longer preview from Harvest Online – the internet arm of Harvest Christian Fellowship.
Now a bit about HCF.
Review their “Statement of Faith” which is about as close to a creed as one can get. Here’s how it begins:
WE BELIEVE
the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. [emphasis mine]
Oops. That’s not right. Hmmm.
This is what Pastor Greg Laurie of HCF has to say about the screening:
It was recently my privilege to view an advance unedited copy of Mel Gibson’s new film “The Passion”. Mr.Gibson was present during the viewing and welcomed input as he is now in the editing process. Let me just say that “The Passion” is the most powerful and effective portrayal of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ I have ever seen. I was moved to tears a number of times and was on the edge of my seat for the entire film.
I’m happy that Gibson is reaching out to our mere Christian brothers and sisters. This film could be a great tool for evangelization and ecumenism.
