So, according to Bill Gray, the numerical factors--numbers of churches, Bible colleges, radio ministries, etc.--confirm that the labors of Chuck Smith are the product of the Holy Spirit.
Here is something the Bible says about "numbers."
"13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Numbers don't prove godliness or faithfulness to His word. Does Pastor Chuck Smith tell the lost to do the same thing that Peter told the lost to do in Acts 2:38? Does Pastor Chuck Smith tell the lost what Ananias told Paul to do in Acts 22:16? Or does Pastor Chuck Smith simply parrot the deadly, un-scriptural notion that one must only say some kind of "sinner's prayer" and "ask Jesus to come into your heart"?
