Great stuff, truly great stuff. Thanks for showing that there are people out there prepared to take back Jesus.

I accepted Christ when I was 16 in an IFCA church in Oregon. I graduated from Western Baptist Bible College in Salem, Oregon. So I think I have fundamentalist cred. ;). Tony and I have talked and I can say that Tony has very deep convictions about the gospel and his faith in Christ. I think we're more concerned with the superficial outward show that so many groups emphasize(as in my previous comment) rather than genuine commitment to follow Christ. Thanks for the chance to talk.In Christ

I think you have to take it all in context...Tony was answering a question from a guy who disagrees with most everything he says on blogs etc...the answer was not meant to meet all of the systematic theological nuances, but simply to prove a point, He got "born again" and walked the aisle, BUT his salvation is something that he lives out each day asking God the tough questions, and placing Jesus in his place daily! I don't think Tony meant he is uncertain of God and His work in his life!

Woah, didn't think I'd get a response from The Trucker himself. I wasn't trying to be angry or rude, just concise. :) But...When asked if he's born again in another video from the interviews Tony gets almost sarcastic about an experience he had at camp and concludes by saying that he doubts his faith and wonders if he's living for a lie every single day. I'll be the first to say I in no way have God "nailed down", but shouldn't we be able to know the gospel with a deep conviction? (1 Thes 1)

Judging from the responses we've gotten we're not the "angry" ones. I don't have a problem with the essentials of the faith, especially Salvation. I do have a problem with a walk-the- aisle, sign-a-form,sit in a pew and wait for the rapture style of salvation that I was taught. And yes you're right we're trying to do anything thats different as long as its following God in the way of Jesus.If thats the wrong response......Trucker Frank

These guys have some good points about where the church has messed up in the past, but their response is wrong. It seems a lot of the Emergent movement is made up of people who are *angry* about past experiences and are just trying to do anything that's different. The problems come when they start questioning the essentials of the Christian faith, like a need for salvation. Take that away and what's left? Just doing good things here and now because it makes the world a better place.

His disturbing lack of a moustache.Seriously, Frank, that soup-catcher freaks me out without the balance of a caterpillar on your upper lip.Thanks, Tony, for giving other people the chance to get to know this awesome guy!
