1. a quick google search...
points me to his website: http://www.harvest.org/

Apparently he's coming to your neck of the woods, guess thats why you saw those bumper stickers.

Harvest 07 Coming to Triangle/Raleigh-Durham Area
A group of 175 churches in the Triangle area has invited evangelist Greg Laurie and the Harvest team to Raleigh for Harvest 07, June 22-24 at the RBC Center.

Good luck with that! :rofl:

2. Seems to be fundamentalist
From the Statement of Faith page at that web site:

The rest is pretty standard doctrine, except for this (bold is mine):

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept.

5. So, they call remarried divorced people Adulterers just like Jesus did? And
won't let them be members (or put money in the plate) until they end those adulterous relationships and return to their first wife/husband?

Wow, how refreshing - a church that claims to believe every line in the Bible and actually puts it into practice

:sarcasm:

3. Thanks....was wondering if anyone knew any folks who are going
to see him that would give personal insight into what he's about. Thanks for the posts...he does seem very fundie in his beliefs. My hubby had someone at work trying to get him to come because he said the "mission" was for each of the Laurie followers to find a person to be saved by Jesus. It kind of reminded me of a cult.

4. Sounds like the adult version
of the "do you agree with _______ ?" campaigns on college campuses.

I had seen the bumper stickers around RTP as well. I at first assumed he was some singer coming to the area, but began to suspect otherwise when one of the vehicles had a fish thrown in the mix and the driver looked like your traditional, suit-wearing, white evangelical.

Whatever.
