Australian Cameron Buettel joins Brannon to explain the theological problems with Australian Pastor Brian Houston who is pastor of Hillsong church and is now becoming nationally known and has planted a church in New York with his son now reportedly planting a church in California. Hillsong is now exporting so-called worship music all over the world and your church likely sings their songs. Cameron explains the problem with the theology of Brian Houston as well as the music of Hillsong. Topic: Is man-centered theology the foundation of much of this music? Is this music being used to get people to not think theologically but emotionally? Is such music being used to also create a sense of collectivism and group think? Topic: What is the connection between Brian Houston and Rick Warren, Mark Driscoll, Joel Osteen, Judah Smith and other theologically troubled individuals?

If someone at Hillsong stood up and gave the same biblically accurate gospel presentation each week, Buettel would be happy. He’s a broken record with not much else to say.

Hardly a “broken record” Newtaste – and you’ve obviously had a lot of interaction with Cameron via comments on his blog at various times (as have I).

Newtaste – I’m curious. You’re very supportive of Hillsong and Brian Houston but very disparaging of Phil Pringle.
What’s the difference between the two, in your opinion?
The Location of their Churches?
I’ve read Cameron’s blog… one dimensional.

“I am not foolish enough to believe that I can put an end to the violence done to the gospel by churches like Hillsong and Saddleback. But I do believe that we should make a concerted effort to pressure these churches into either conforming their teaching to their doctrine statements or conforming their doctrine statements to their teaching. It is time to put their cards on the table.” Cameron Buettel
