“Deception was the hallmark of Campolo’s ministry, though it was dressed in the language of love and progress. His “Red Letter Christianity” movement, which sought to elevate the quoted “red-letter” words of Jesus above the rest of Scripture, was a subtle yet devastating assault on the unity of God’s Word.”
(The Dissenter) Tony Campolo has breathed his last. On November 19, 2024, at the age of 89, the man who spent decades bending the gospel to the will of culture passed into eternity—an eternity that his teachings betrayed. On that day, Campolo heard those dreaded words from the Lord, “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.”
Yet, the eulogies will flood in from those who called him a trailblazer, a man of social justice, a compassionate voice for the marginalized. But no amount of flowery tributes can erase the reality of what his work truly accomplished, the erosion of biblical truth, the elevation of human desire above God’s law, and the leading of countless souls further away from Christ.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as Tony Campolo, Sara Young & Beni Johnson.
