“In these troublesome and turbulent times, we need a pastor-preacher-prophet that will stand in the gap and lead with confident, consistent, convictional, Christo-centric, courageous courtesy” - BPNews
“confident, consistent, convictional, Christ-centric, courageous courtesy”

Prophet?? I don’t think so. And I don’t think they’re using the word in the general sense of “proclaiming” either.

Wally, I am pretty sure they are using the word “prophet” is the sense of a dynamic preacher whp speaks boldy into culture rather than in the sense of special revelation.
“boldly into the culture” … Yes, I imagine many in the SBC view him as a modern-day deliverer who will rescue the SBC from decline, even though he has raised many questions concerning comments & decisions he has made. He is definitely leading the SBC in a different direction, one that many associated with the Conservative Resurgence have doubts about (even though they are tactful in their comments about him). I never intended to suggest “special revelation”, only suggesting that he is not a “prophet” and to give him that label is unwise.
