"The relationship of Evangelical leaders with false teacher ROBERT SCHULLER is another example of how Evangelicalism today accepts heretics. Schuller reinterprets the doctrines of the Word of God to conform to his self-esteem philosophy. His Christ is a Jesus who provides men with self-esteem. His gospel is the replacement of negative self-concepts with positive ones. To Schuller, sin is merely the lack of self-esteem. To Schuller, the greatest evil is to call men sinners in a biblical fashion and thereby injure their self-esteem. Schuller is a universalist who believes that all people are the children of God. His goal is to help each person understand and enjoy this "fact."
"Schuller's false teaching is an extremely serious matter in light of his wide influence. His was the most popular religion television broadcast in America for many years (and it might still be). His books sell by the millions. He appears with presidents. His self-esteem Christianity has been adopted by multitudes. His followers believe they are Christisnas; they attend churches; but in reality they worship a false christ and follow a false gospel. Robert Schuller and his mentor, the late Norman Vincent Peale, are two of the chief culprits in promoting the self-esteem heresy.
"In spite of Schuller's rejection of the Word of God and his vast unscriptural influence in our society, large numbers of Evangelical leaders promote him and work hand-in-hand with him. ...."
