My Critics
Some people find me and/or my views offensive, dangerous, or unwise.
I will post their critiques on this page to give my friends a look at the “other” side of my life, and in hopes of remaining accountable
to the larger Christian and non-Christian communities.
Also, the “Comments” section of this page will give anyone who takes issue with me a public space in which to note their objections. After all, people usually listen to my talks without a comfortable way to offer negative feedback (which I may deserve), so it only seems fair to make a public venue available for critique.
In general, those who find me subversive tend to suspect that my friendship with the Emerging Church means that I am sub-orthodox theologically, and that my promotion of a practice known as Contemplative Prayer (which I had virtually never heard of until my critics accused me of it) indicates that I am panorthodox spiritually.
These commentators tend to express themselves on websites and blogs such as:

David Gadbury’s Unfolding Prophecy Blog
Discernment Resource even offers a downloadable chart illustrating my central role in the dissemination of heresy.
As it turns out, not everyone is really all that familiar with what I do. Check out this unedited exchange, for example, on Constance Cumbey’s blog:

To writer with “leave Iran alone” question: You make some excellent points and inspired research of my own. I googled the 1953 situation and here’s one interesting link with some detail on that CIA escapade:

By the way, if anybody knows how or the principles behind the “short url” links, clue me in. Thanks!

Who and what is “Earl Creps”?
- posted by Constance Cumbey : 5:47 AM
Earl Creps is a professor in the A of G theological seminary. He seems to be pushing the Emerging church movement along with it;s baggage (namely contemplative prayer) in the Assemblies of God. I read through his blog yesterday, there is not denying it. Anyway, I saw a blog from a guy named David and it looked very similar to what Davidinbattlecreek wrote.

At other times, critiques come directly to me by way of emails like these:
[from Nancy Newburn, hischild@aboutmontana]
“Dont yo know you are resposible for what you teach Gods children.This new age prayer is wrong.God will have you answer for this.I am penicostal but this teacing almost wants you not go to church.I was decieved once with the prosperty teaching and it was a while before I trustd any church again.I left a church where I now live and it took me a long time to get over that after they started teaching Rick Warren books.Strange things started happening there like demons in there building.I know for sure Our Lord is comig soom becaue the great falling away is happening right in front of our eyes.Why dont you just pray to the Lord instead of using a manta?I will be praying for you.We need to stop following man and follow Jesus.”
[from phillis, phillis0704@yahoo.com]
“sir, I am appalled by your website, seems like The Gospel is at the bottom of your interests.Coffee, mango, self-boasting, lifting up other books besides THE BOOK appear to be your focus. Shouldn\’t Our Lord and Saviour be at the Top of all of our (born again believers) list of interest? I dont know your heart, only you and God (The True God) know. I am concerned that some who are not born again may view The Gospel as not important to the Assemblies of God in general when viewing what I happened to view on the site, to me it seemed secondary, if that. Sir, I may not be as educated as you but the Gospel is so simple even a child can understand and I\’m sure you don\’t want or care for my advice but consider giving Jesus a lot more Glory and Honor on your website, HE alone is worthy. Thank you for reading this.”

Yeah, I’m the first responder on your new site! It’s neat to be criticized by misinformed strangers who speak more from fear and aggression than faith and grace. And by “neat”, I really mean “wrong”.
If they only knew you as the mentor and friend you are to so many of us!
I think its interesting that Christians are so quick to preach love and grace, but defend it with anything but love and grace.
God bless and be encouraged! – emj
Keep blogging! It’s all about the conversation. It’s just sad how at times people make judgements based on limited facts.
There’s more to people and what they stand for than what is read on their blogs.
“If they only knew you as the mentor and friend you are to so many of us!”
He (or she? Initials are tricky.) is right on the money. I’m sure you’ve come to this conclusion anyway, Earl, but there’s going to be foolish garbage sent your way regardless over all this.
Keep on truckin.
Greetings, i just returned from the 4M at the Heartland retreat center. i took many notes and have many questions. i did however feel ( you can’t help that i know) that i was told, 1. you are not doing enough and 2. what you are doing is wrong.
God has blessed me with the privelge of pastoring a average size AG church 125-140. My question has to do with THE CHURCH. Is it the outreach, (the building itself)...or is it to be the training ground for the outreach of the church, The body of Christ?
Maybe i miss understood. That is very possible. But the ideas and thoughts i heard at the 4M would make the purpose of the church, that i have always known, impossible. A place for the body of Christ to come together for fellowship, breaking of bread and study the apostles doctrines. The unsaved will think that the communion is a weird thing, that the preaching is hard (heck, it’s hard for us believers…it makes us see God’s purity and holiness, which i know I LACK)preaching of the Word is to be encourangement and correction in the manner of our living our lives as missionaries for Jesus. But there is such a thing as church correction. That can’t happen if we are to watch that we are not offending and being too strong in our beliefs, but THEY ARE to happen. Shouldn’t the unsaved and spirtual seekers be ministered to in our LIVES we live 22/6 as well as the “church life of 2/1”, our sunday gathering? (get it 24/7 total!)
I am not saying that the unsaved are not welcome, we just had a pierced and tatooed 35 yr old get radically saved and is here every sunday & wed. He knows that he is welcomed and with a group of people that look drastically different than him, He loves the training ground. He has brought his two sisters and invites people every week.
Some of my questions are related to the young missionary to colorado, who will be here in March of next year, when he said, ‘they think it arrogant of us to say we have the ONE WAY!” Well, we do. I did’nt say it. Jesus did. If he wants to tell Jesus , “You are an arrogant bigot for being the only way”, God help him. My concern is for our young men and women who are not doctrinally trained to answer people as to why Jesus is the only way. They will be influenced rather than be an influence to others. when the young man said, “you can’t just preach the gospel or be apologetic, cause they just don’t care.” Well,...what is left? Or does it not matter, becasue they don’t care. Maybe even the coffee won’t even bring them salvation! (ok…that was a cheap shot!) but serously, we are to be missional, our LIVES in the world should be that. the CHURCH is always to be pure, in Truth, doctrine, and preaching of the Word. If that is offensive to people, then it is doing what it is to do. Making us die to self. seeing our desperate need of a Savior. Seeing the world has already been condemned before Jesus came. i want to see the unsaved get saved. The unchurch be churched? NO. The unsaved must be saved before they will ever find any preaching, true preaching, meaningful. Most of the new motivational speaking and therapists under the guise of the gospel will be cotton candy and rainbows to them.
But a crowd does not make a church. felt needs met may get a crowd, but the Biblical church adressed the issue of sin and the forgiveness from it. Becasue that will always be our enemy.
i keep hearing, “don’t change the message”, and that is obvious. but let’s not change the purpose of the church in mistake of the wanting to re-ignite the purpose of God’s people, our mission. GOD ALONE will build the church. 1. Through the message kept pure. 2. The truth being spoken and LIVED out in love and compassion.
thank you for making me think and re-think.
a servant with you,
harry
I can’t help but read this through the lens of culture. The criticism and misunderstanding both sound distorted in the dissonance that exists in the clash of modern and postmodern expression.
Furthermore, I tire of the assumption that something like contemplative prayer necessarily places one on the slippery slope to New Age spirituality. There is simply too much that would have to be said to properly contextualize that sentence, but the challenge we face these days, I think, is the challenge of being on the slope (or in the gray) without falling. To be sure, there is danger, but the “safety” of a fundamentalist approach to culture and theology is a false one.
Us vs. Them is a helpful and necessary distinction sometimes, but not as often as some in the Church seem wont to use it.
Hello everyone, I am the jboldt73 in the blog space above. Earl, I don’t know everything about you for certain, but I think a blog reveals a lot about a person. Right now, I am struggling with what is going on in the church right now, esp, the emergent. I have read your blog, you have read Henri Nouwen, and Thomas Merton. I read your blog on Mar 1st, a New Kind of Catholic. Maybe what I said in the blog above was a bit strong, however, browsing through your blog it seems obvious that there is a very casual attitute towards the things of God. The EmChurch movement, as a whole, really concerns me, by looking to guys like Merton and Nouwen it open up Christians to possibly accepting New Age practices. Both Merton and Nouwen in their writings had admiration of Hindu and Buddhists spiritual practices. Both were Catholics, why are Protestants looking to Catholics for spiritual “wisdom”? People that are Christians that have come out of the New Age are screaming about Contemplative practice, it is exactly what they did in Transcendental Meditation. New Age teaches “God in all”, Henri Newoun states the following: “Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the door to God’s house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know Jesus or not. I see it as my call to help every person claim his or her way to God.” p 51 Sabbatical Journey. That sounds a lot like God in all or another term, all paths lead to God. You have Brian McClaren who has mentioned CP, saying all sorts of crazy stuff about the way Christians should “rethink” things. How about Dan Kimball? He affectionately talks about walking through a Labyrinth as the National Pastors Convention. There is/was Christian Yoga being used at the National Pastors Convention. Earl, I know you probably have no care for most of this stuff but you endorse books by these guys in your classes, at least you did in the past. Where is the discernment? Have we as Christians forgotten that we are in a spiritual battle? The Bible is VERY clear about deception in the last days, it also warns very clearly not to get involved in pagan practices. We as Christians can’t take anything of this world slap Jesus on it and call it good. It appears that we no longer have leaders that preach the word of God from the pulpit; instead we have sermons that are stories in which the Bible is thrown in to validate the points of the sermon. Maybe that is why discernment seems to be all but dead. God Bless you Earl, I truly pray for those who are getting into EmChurch. Earl, I would love to hear from you on this, my post above was strong, I admit, it was written a few weeks back when this information came to me. I do apologize.
I didn’t know “Catholic” meant “non-Christian” across the board.
I am not sure on how to take being listed as a “critic”. I only responded because the Ohio 4um really got me back into the apostle doctrines as well as rereading the ‘ragamuffin gospel’ (rag is very appropriate for that book!) as well as the “velvet Elvis”, 6 chapters of Mclaren’s work and finding live interviews on “bleedingpurple.com”. That gave me a 4-week sermon series in itself! I am more convinced than ever that we as the AG need to do what Calvary Chapels have done with the emergent church controversy…keep it far away from our churches. Dialog is wonderful, but it must be kept in line with God’s Word. I wish what all pastors & christains and missionaries wish for; “how can I make you see and want God and know His love for you?” Can we do better? Absolutely. And we should always be trying to live and reach out with the love of Christ. Can we go too far? Yes, and that is what I see in the “emergent church”. The ERROR of thinking that God is more concerned about OUR relationship with each other more than our relationship with Him. Just because you and I may get along doesn’t mean that God and I will get along. But if I am living a life to God’s glory and His honor, I’ll be loving and compassionate to everyone. And aren’t we supposed to show love one-to-another FIRST and than the world? “They will know that you are Christians by your love…” I see too much “feeling” and “just think about it” to come up with new doctrines and reject the old. Romans 6:11 “Dear brothers and sisters, I solemnly assure you that the Good News of salvation which I preach is not based on mere human reasoning or logic.”
Let us just be careful as we re-think and repaint.
A friend, more than Critic,
Harry
Earl,
Just heard the ODC messages. All in all, good. But I think people need to remember that we should not accept EVERYTHING anyone says, nor should we reject EVERYTHING anyone says. There are elements of truth in what you say, then (I feel) there are elements of imbalance. But hopefully, all of our balances and imbalances together will “weave a new fabric” that the Holy Spirit can use to reach the more diverse cultures that surround us.
I have two sons, 20 and 18. I love them, and desperately want to understand them more, but I do not want to look like them, act like them, wear their clothes, etc. I do not have a cell phone, and don’t want one. I don’t want an Ipod, but I do like my XM radio. To want to be like them would make me a fake. And they would spot this fake a mile away. When I was 18, I acted like an 18 year old. When I will be 62, I’ll act like an old fogey.
I do believe we need to get out of the church and begin to focus on the world and all of its people. I think you have a great message in that regard. But how that is accomplished may be more up to the Holy Spirit and less up to our demographic studies and slick ideas.
Ciao!
Earl and others,
I don’t know if this is supposed to be a critic page or what. I am not from the assemblies of God church nor have ever been apart of many of the things that characterize an Assemblies of God church. This is the first book that I know of that I have read which has been written by someone of this denominational background. I wonder if some of you who talk about keeping the emergent movement away from your churches have actually read Earl’s book? When the piano was first used, it was seen as a significantly secular instrument…taken from the bars. Many preachers preached against its evilness. After reading some of your critics or responses, I feel like you will do the same thing. You make the mistake of assuming that church was always like this (the way you like it) and that your goal is to make sure the church always stays like this. The funny thing is that the church has always been innovative. Not always by choice, sometimes by persecution. And I don’t mean innovative in the cutting edge sense. But in that the church has always been evolving. Revival services, pianos, organs, having a cross in the sanctuary…these things have not always been. Don’t hold to tightly onto your preferences. I see your love for God’s truth and affirm that. But I also see how some of you hold your preferences over the things that unite you. I think parts of Earl’s book are insightful, unique and needed. This may be a criticism page, but be careful in your eagerness and check your motives before you write off Earl’s works. Be careful also, of using broad stereo types (which sometimes are needed) and throwing away the baby with the bath water. You see, there are parts of the emergent church that are more or equally theologically conservative as you are. They just look different. There are also some who you would not consider Christian. But the same label can be applied to both, so use it carefully.
Ozzy Osbourne drinks Pepsi. We don’t like Pepsi. Theregore Pepsi is of the devil. Brian McClaren says some things we don’t agree with/believe are heresy. Therefore everything he writes is of the devil. Truth is God’s and it shows up in some likely and unlikely places. Is it possible to approach some of the Emerging Church models and take practices, ground them in biblical content and go from there? I have done the labyrinth and the content of the U.S. version is Bible based. Do a Hebrew study on the word meditate and you get words like ponder, muse and imagine. These are words that I think join the rational and emotional.
Earl,
Please, Please give me an explanation of the Emergeing Church and The Contemplative prayer
I will be looking forward to your answer.
Thanks,
Bob Dailey
I know your busy but I need an answer.
As a novice-turning-learner of contemplative prayer, I find it curious that it’s lumped into New Age (which is itself probably a term that better describes spiritual openness than an anti-Jesus movement) propaganda. The root of “contemplative prayer” is Lectio Divina and has been practiced for centuries.
All the same, I’m very encouraged that you’re providing a forum for the validation of people who disagree with you. I truly believe this – listening without judgment – is a very important practice as you engage the culture of Berkeley.
I was at the Lead Like Jesus conference yesterday, and what you’re doing reminds me of something Erwin McManus said toward the end. He said that we Christians are sometimes so into Truth and not into Life that we impatiently wait to find our opening in a conversation so we can cram dogma down others’ throats. Jesus was into Truth and Life, and revealed it in the way he was able to listen to people who disagreed with him (how many believers can accurately describe the convictions, fears and hopes of people outside our churches as effectively as Jesus did through his parables?)
Thanks for being into Life, Earl. God bless.
My question is why is everybody concerned about (Roman) Catholic spirituality entering Pentecostal churches? Read Walter Hollenweger’s Pentecostalism where he identifies Catholic practices as one of the roots of Pentecostalism.
Also why can’t we have a conversation about these issues? I am reminded of the old idea that those who oppose most the new move of God are those who were predominant in the last one.
At the same time I am not sure that all claims by emerging churches are right.
There is a difference with being humble about truth claims, such as Jesus is Lord, and pushing it down someone’s throat so they choke on it. Similar to what John O’Hara says in the previous post. I think the emerging folk argue for the humility approach not a denial of the truth as some paint them.
If we truly believe Jesus is Lord our lives should be showing it and much conversation or lack thereof in this area reflects more the world than the Kingdom.
It’s good to see u r being criticized. far worse it would be to simply be ignored.
Keep drinking coffee, eating mango and helping all of us.
As for being against prayer that contemplates, someone will have to explain that one to me.
Blessings,
craig
Dude,
You are so corrupt, you corrupt people right into actually thinking. Thanks Earl, you are a peach. Oh yes, thanks for loving Jesus too, it is an inspiration!
If I love mango and coffee, does that make me emerging?
Earl – you are a forward mentor to me. Go and give ‘em Jesus at Berkeley!
It is nice to be a friend of someone so on the edge. Of course in my personal relationship with you I have never thought of you as such. Just a person who has a heart for the sought. Thanks for getting the discussion going.
Hi Earl,
Far from being a critic, I applaud your ability to work as a champion for orthodoxy (including Pentecostal distinctives) within a cultural context that is otherwise awash in ideologies, buzzwords, and concepts that are more-or-less biblical. Your love for Christ and passion for the Bible lend you credibility with the “old school”, and your personal authenticity mixed with honestly grants you a listening space within the “new school”. Simply put: Berkeley is the place for you!
Wow Earl, you’re a brave man—linking to all of your critiques in one location! And I see that your detractors have wasted no time in taking full advantage of the Comments section.
I wanted to address something that both they and you seem to circle warily: Contemplative Prayer. Now Earl, you and I have talked on and off for the past few years, so you know that I have an Assemblies of God past and consider myself an “embracing post-(not anti!)charismatic.” For me something that’s deepened my awareness of the Holy Spirit’s presence and charisms in my life is the regular practice of entering into the “fellowship of the Godhead” (see it described in 1 John 1 and John 17 among many other places in both Testaments), which I happen to do via what some call Centering Prayer.
I feel like there’s a lot of fear and ambiguity surrounding contemplative prayer. In particular my friend Carl McColman has identified several of the main objections to it, including:
1.) “Contemplative prayer is dangerous, because it contains non-Christian elements, and/or is based on/resembles eastern meditation.” and
2.) “Silent forms of prayer are dangerous because in clearing the mind one is opening it to the devil.”
3.) “Contemplative prayer is “un-biblical” or “extra-biblical.”
Carl does a masterful job responding to these objections with candor, wit, and orthodoxy. If you harbor these objections or get them leveled at you, I strongly recommend you read his responses on his blog in the following places: http://anamchara.com/2006/08/24/answers-to-contemplations-objectors/
http://anamchara.com/2007/10/28/the-charter-of-christian-mysticism/
http://anamchara.com/2006/07/02/contemplation-and-its-discontents/
Contemplative prayer has long enjoyed favor within the more liturgical segments of the charismatic renewal, as Thomas Keating recounts in Open Mind, Open Heart. What I find fascinating, Earl, is that you said you’d never even heard of contemplative prayer until your detractors started accusing you of advocating it! I don’t for a second doubt your sincerity—I certainly never heard of this ancient practice in my A/G days—I still find it baffling coming from the author of Off-Road Spiritual Disciplines (A great book by the way), seeing as the…er, on-road spiritual disciplines popularized by Richard Foster and Dallas Willard have contemplation at their center.
Nonetheless. I’d like to encourage everyone once again to check out those links by my friend Carl. Contemplative prayer like everything else has its excessive manifestations and imbalances; the Gift of Discernment is called for as always. But I really do regard divine fellowship as a Christ-bought, God-given, Spirit-dispensed reality that every Christian should be privileged to enjoy. (It works great with glossalalia, too! I center and pray in tongues all in one session, sometimes) Don’t sell yourself short on all God has given his Church.
One more freebie: A very biblically-grounded book on contemplative prayer, Beholding and Becoming. This was the book that introduced me to contemplative prayer and revolutionized my spiritual life a decade ago. Now its available here for free in PDF here: http://blogs.oxegen.us/graceunzipped/archives/2005/05/beholding_and_b.html
PS: I love the ”...or WHAT is an ‘Earl Creps’?” Isn’t it hilarious to be mistaken for an object??
I’m happy to hear that you will be speaking to the ministers in the WNMD in a month or so. Looking forward to it!
And we’re praying for your church plant venture too.
SingingOwl aka Dorcas George
I am amazed….and I do mean amazed…that there are people who spend this much time CRITICIZING people they do not know and the only interaction they might have is through reading ONE BOOK! I do understand that there is a need for strict adherence to orthodoxy and doctrine…But to spend your time doing nothing but tearing down others does not seem Christ-like…especially with the attitude that many of these so-called heresy hounds are carrying themselves with. There are more pressing issues the Church needs to deal with…like an entire generation of people missing from our churches….like a perverted Gospel that is being preached from pulpits devoid of Jesus….like being salt and light in a world devoid of saltiness and light…instead we waste our time debating theological issues like we have all of the answers…WE DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE ANSWERS…what seperates us is that we have JESUS! Can we just give them Jesus!?
It appears that many Pentacostals are worried about Earl promoting contemplative prayer. Here is something one of my long-time Assembly of God friends told me about contemplative prayer: “It’s just another form of praying in the Holy Spirit. It disengages the mind and let’s the spirit focus on the goodness of God through rejoicing and private utterance (much like the practice of praying in tongues).” In my experience, and in the wider church history and tradition, he seems to be right. So calm down folks! Just because a Catholic came up with it doesn’t mean it comes from the pits of Hell. You may be calling something of the Holy Spirit evil, and we know what Jesus said about that!
Criticising heretics is Christ-like. Only the unlearned, or effeminate, would see it otherwise. They didn’t kill Steven because he was such a sweetie-pie. Paul needed a basket over a wall for escape because he said hard, contentious things. Jesus own townsmen didn’t want to push Him over the brow of a hill because he made them fell so positive about life and their spirituality. Allowing false doctrine to flourish unchecked is not loving. Scriptures teach that we should stop the mouths, rebuke sharply, not rejoice in iniquity, not suffer sin without rebuke, etc. Also, to beware of false prophets, and those from among ourselves who arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples, earnestly contend for the faith etc.
Only a fool thinks that we should relax and treat these heretics respectfully, and that this is anything but a war, where the souls of men are at stake.
Therefore, heretics like Creps and his sychophants, need to be rebuked in the strongest terms. He teaches and espouses false spirituality, and a man-centered and conditioned, free-willist false gospel from the pit of Hell.
May God have mercy on any unsuspecting readers.
Sorry, but I meant criticizing and sycophants (typing too quickly).
to qaton: no one would accuse you of thinking too quickly :P
Earl,
When I started reading this I did not consider myself a critic. But I did find something to take issue with you on. I think you promised folks that their e-mail would be private. You seem to have inadvertently posted the addresses of Nancy Newburn and Phillis. A church posted my address on their site a few years ago and spammers hit me hard.
Theologically though, I’m sorry to not give you an entertaining joust. Perhaps I will think of something later. Good to hear about your church plant. Blessings.
Terry
From time to time, I’ve visited “www.SavetheAG.com,” maintained by a former vice president at CBC, and I just wanted to point out that anything on that website should be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve read most of the articles that that site has put out, and I’m hard-pressed to find anything on the site that is free from venom, bitterness, and open rebellion disguised as “godly discernment.”
That site would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad that someone could be so disillusioned by their own bitterness. I also find it interesting that the site has no blog or guestbook for its critics to answer the ridiculous, one-sided articles it puts out. I’ve even sent several e-mails to the website and specifically gave permission for them to be included in the “guestbook” section (which apparently only includes positive feedback).
Earl, if SavetheAG.com is giving you flack, just let it roll off your back (hey, that rhymes).
Bro. Earl,
My name is Sharon Snavely, and I’m an A/G pastor’s wife in Indiana. I have recently begun an online web ministry to unite Assembly of God bloggers (Assembly of God Blog Ring) and a “hub” or “network” where people of our denomination can go, and read other blogs from people of like faith (Assembly of God Blogs). I would be honored if you would consider joining this ministry! What it would entail is you signing up for the Ring, putting code on your blog (which links to the hub and the ring) and that would be it. Your blog would be an anchor to this ministry, and bless other Assembly of God readers. If you’d like to check out the “hub” and details about joining the ring, the web address is: “http://assemblyofgodblogs.blogspot.com”. I hope you will prayerfully consider blessing this ministry with yours! (If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at: ahoosierfamily at gmail dot com.)
Blessings!
Sharon Snavely
