Do you mean to tell me that this guy's ACTUAL name is Ray Comfort? What a wimpy name for a televangelist! Ray Comfort here, saying a special prayer for our friends the robins, the hedgehogs, and all the woodland creatures!

Sounds more like one of those Roger Whittaker middle of the road type singers who have had plenty of hits in places like Switzerland thirty- thirty five years ago, but just one or even none here! Get all of Ray Comfort's Swiss hits in this 2cd set for just $ 19.99! Send check or money order to Ray Comfort Swiss Hits, PO BOX 5555, Aurora, Illinois.


The only televangelist worth paying attention to is Brother J.C. Crawford on the first MC5 album, Kick Out The Jams!

I think that Ray Comfort is doing an excellent job presenting the Gospel..I have used the routine several times and have had  good responses. I even showed it to the ladies at church..God bless you and Kirk and keep up the good job!!!! I am praying for you...

There is one size Gospel and it's good and valid for all. Perhaps intellectual Christians who stand high above the mere mortals may find his approach dumbing down, but he does what Jesus did: go to the lost and show them the way. Acting on obedience to the Great Commission is... well... obedience. And God rewards obedience.

I do not approve of his dumbing down of Christianity and his one shoe fits all mechanical approach to winning converts to the faith. The Titanic gospel message tract of Ray Comfort really upsets me because of its historical errors. Ray Comfort should do more research and check his facts before making statements that are beyond question not true.

A courageous man who daily overcomes his fear with compassion for humanity. Driven by concern for the Lost he continues to put himself on the front lines.

Ray comforts one size fits all type of evangelisim is creative and under some circumstances may work but in many circumstances does more damage than good his motto "what did jesus do" is only partly practised in his outreach. Jesus didnt approach everyone with the same hell fire and brimstone spiel but to different people he used different techniques and different ways of drawing the peoples interest.

Initially I felt Ray was a bit too hard for my liking because God saved me with love (See Jude 22 (King James Version)) as it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance. Knowing that God loved me and was such a gentle, beautiful God, that lead me to truly repent. God already revealed to me that there was a hell and about sin, but it was done with so much love and gentleness.

But after growing in Christ and growing in discernment, I've come to see that Ray has a wonderful heart. In the past I gave him a 3 rating, but now I push that up. I don't give him a 5 because although he has a lot of good points (I will get to them), and although we are to warn some people with the fear of God as Ray does, the hellfire method doesn't work on everyone and to preach that this is the ONLY way of saving a person, from experience and even just looking at the rater Beloved's weblist 'Salvation' (hellfire method is almost at the bottom, just read the comments written in this yet gentle love approach is at the top), this is not true.

There are various ways of getting a person to come to the decision to commit to Jesus and there is no 'right' or 'only' way. Just as long as a person repents and commits/gives their life to Jesus (believes), they will be saved. I believe Ray has been called to witness to the people who think they are good people therefore don't need God or people who are just deluded and think 'we all go to heaven, hell isn't a literal place' There are a great multitude of people who believe that and just think being 'good' is enough to go to heaven. They are mistaken and in for a shocking surprise. Yet God loves those people just as tenderly and as much as the people who need the gentle, love approach to accept the Great Sacrafice on the Cross. Ray has been called to those people.

The only other point is that maybe I don't agree on everything he says and can be a little heavy.

On the POSITIVE side, he is on a mission and is anointed, he has a genuine heart and I just wish all evangelists were as genuine as Ray. If that were so, evangelists would have a far better reputation by the world then they do now. Plus he has such a strong passion to save the lost and he has certainly woke me up! Glory to the God who has created him. What I also love about Ray and Kirk (who is just as good) is, well, don't mean to offend anyone but usually Christian movies are poor quality and the acting is poor. Yet when Ray does something, he does it properly, just look at his website! Even his website is so good, I certainly wouldn't be ashamed of showing that to the most carnel minded person who hated Christian things. Because he is so genuine and real, I also feel he gives glory to God and doesn't do half witted, alcheapo things. And he isn't after your money like a lot of grubby evangelists are, but just wants people to get saved, even offering free resources on his website. I also love his sense of humour. Although I may have my negative points listed above, the positive outweigh the negative therefore he gets a high rating.

Ray Comfort is a man of God and this is evident by the working of God in his life and how he is being used. Ray is hitting the streets where the people live asking hard questions. We all should be out there following the Great Commission. Are you doing your part? God needs servants; God needs people, who love people, who are willing to serve. 

Ray Comfort is a soul winner for Christ. His program "Way of the Master" is a true blessing to me.

Update: By the way, those of you who are marking unhelpful, I count it a blessing, and here is why, right from the Holy Bible:

John 15:18-25 "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sak, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'" 

He is clearly spreading the gospel and bringing people to know Jesus!

I've watched a video he produced on how to effectively do street preaching, and it was very insightful and helpful.

There may be a few doctrinal differences that I have with his beliefs, but I have no issue with him as a Godly man fulfilling the Great Commision!

He teaches repent and believe the gospel. Repent means to change your mind and I agree but it does not mean to turn from sin as he uses it. If you could turn from sin, you could save yourself. Only after you believe the gospel, which is that Jesus died and rose again and that did all that was necessary, then the Holy Spirit turns you from sin. You cannot do it in the flesh!!!! That is one of the reasons people are not being saved because they are not getting a clear definition of the gospel! You cannot use catchphrases!!! Overall, if you have to suffer through most religious programming, he is one of the better ones.

I love the way he preaches the gospel ( the 10 commandment aproach).
I thought the million dollar bill was kind of weard but then anyone who would try and use it as cash is just dumb .

Great guy...and great at helping people witness for Jesus Chris with assurance and confidence!

FIVE STARS!

3 stars for the good laugh

Million dollar bill

On June 1^st, 2006, Secret Service agents showed up at the office of Great News Network in Dallas, Texas and demanded their entire stock of $1 million dollar gospel tracts that are produced by Ray Comforts ministry, Living Waters. The tracts are used by Ray Comfort and his co-host Kirk Cameron and have been promoted on their national television program.

I thought this guy hit the bottom when he started pushing his Pope John Paul II collectible tract card.

Biblically sound approach to witnessing Jesus Christ to the lost.

From what I know of him, he seems to be biblically accurate. He challenges non believers to examine the Ten Commandments as measuring stick for their goodness. This makes them see that they aren't so good. I like his approach and from what I've seen of him, I can't say anything bad about. As some have suggested, his ties with Kirk Cameron are cause for a little concern because I don't agree with the whole Left Behind series. However, that is a secondary issue that no one needs to divide over.

Uses methods that are biblical.

Excellent evangelist. Great teaching.

His evangelism method is effective. He uses the law, the Bible and the message of the cross in an skillful way. I think he has opened the eyes of many this way. I've heard nothing about the "pope" issues, so I'll reserve comment, I do hope he stays in his gifting, it's effective.

Ray Comfort speaks the truth and anyone who feels different is living the life of the sinner!

I feel very sorry for Ray Comfort and his cohort Kirk Cameron for the simple fact that they have missed the correct definition of repentance which the Bible translates from the original Greek as metanioa- a change of mind - rather than the typical Satanically inspired definition which says we must stop sinning in order to get saved, which is totally wrong because turning and forsaking sins in order to get saved adds an element of works to salvation which totally cancels out God's grace. It's very, very sad that he has such a following of deceived people. If Comfort were to ever actually become born again, he would be a powerful force in spreading the true Gospel, which, by the way, is very simple: first, you realize you are a sinner and cannot save yourself, that God placed all of your sins onto Jesus when He died on the cross, He was buried, and He arose from the dead. If you believe this, God says you are saved. It is soooo sad that Comfort cannot/will not accept the originally intended Greek definition of metanioa. Comfort is merely one of many of Satan's tools. Sadly, if Comfort fails to metanioa his mind about Christ, he will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Let's pray for him, folks.

An utter moron whose absurd arguments make no sense!

Wonderful evangelist. He seems to really stay on tract and not getting lost in the money making scams. He really tells why one needs to know Jesus Christ on judgement day.

Tells it like it is.

CAUTION! Listening to Ray Comfort and reading his books may turn you into an active disciple of Jesus Christ!!! You may actually find yourself witnessing and preaching to real sinners... outside the church walls!!! Seriously, I'm not kidding! Ray turns pew warmers into soul winners!!! He will set ablaze the fires of evangelistic zeal within your bones!! www.LivingWatersCanada.com

Ray is one of a kind. Thoughtful and thought provoking.

Very repetitive, but nothing better that you could be repetitive upon.

I love this guy

Amazing man who has some AMAZING witnessing strategies.

One of the best! Finally someone who tells it like it is and doesnt water it down to make it more palatable. His Evidence Bible is wonderful stuff!

GOOD PREACHER, FACTUAL AND CAN KEEP YOUR ATTENTION MOST OF THE TIME.

Keep up the good work Mr. Comfort! God is holy and just and alot of people skim over that side of God because they dont want to offend anyone.

Ray has it right as far as the presentation of the WHOLE Gospel! You must start with the law first(read Apostle Pauls' writings about this...not powerful pauls'). The Law shows us our sin, our state...our plight, if you will, which leaves us in need of a Saviour!there are minor things negative about his shows, but overall a GOOD servant!

By the comments I've read so far I'd say that only a few of you are familiar with Ray's teachings. It's odd how you take the time to come in here and write a review on a person or subject you don't appear to know much about??? I've read most of his books - listened to just about all of his tapes - watched him on television - and can say that his teaching is biblically sound. To lend credance to my opinion I'll say that I have attended a Christian University as a Bible major and have studied under what I consider to be some of the greatest theological teachers of our time. I'm a deacon at my church - I teach a class on evangelism in my church on Sunday mornings - and I co-lead our Sunday evening youth worship program. Ray's method of evangelism is the same method that Jesus Himself uses in scripture. In my opinion, Ray Comfort and all of the literature, tapes, programs....that he offers on evangelism are the most biblical sound and therefore most effective way to reach unsaved people.

Although I think he is a sincere Christian who really wants to equip the Christian for evangelism, and really loves God, I don't agree with his approach. His approach is to mix the Law of Moses with Grace. You can't really do that (you can, but not with sacrificial, or ceremonial laws or observing specific days, or punishments eg putting an adulturer to death). We are under the Law of Love which means we obey God and all the moral principles of the Law, but it is not observing specific days or going to church that gets you saved. The impression I get of him and through some of his writings is that he believes we are saved by grace (believing in the sacrifice and life and Being of Jesus), PLUS obedience to the law. Plus I strongly disagree with his approach to getting people saved. He believes that if we expose thier sins to them under the light of the Ten Commandments, then they will repent and be saved. Ie when you think about it, we should tell a non-Christian that they are evil, no good and God is angry with them, then out of fear, they will come to Jesus. Somehow, I can't imagine that approach working on someone who was abused as a child and had strick, unloving parents who hated them and done psychological damage to them. Or someone who is in a gang living on the streets. That is why some people are put off by church and religion, because of the fact that preachers were strict and condemming. But I also don't think it is good to preach on prosperity all the time and appeal to human selfishness and have a 'What can God do for me' type mentality. He doesn't do that which is good. Put it this way, his approach wouldn't have worked on me, infact, he would have made me run even more and think that God hates me. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance (ie his love and kindness). I'm not dismissing his approach alltogether because there are a lot of people who respond to that, plus, there is a time and a place for judgement. Although he is sincere, he should be a little higher on grace and love and change his approach. He also knows a hec of a lot about the bible and its origens which is good. His web site is impressive.

As the Lord said in Epileptics 3:1-4 This guy is a bloodsucking leech. Just another scam artist using the name of the most high and mighty Jeeeeeeeeeeebus to get rich. Hey. Here's another thing, since I have been born again in Jebus, and washed the the blood of the lamb, I'm having a terrible time getting that damned lamb's blood out of my clothes. Any suggestions. Moooo wah ha ha!

I liked Ray while I was a babe in Christ. The thing that kept me from growing more and more is the continual WOTM evangelism._______ I was pretty interested in his style and approach._________But then I read John 16:7-11._________ It made it pretty clear, I was waving a paid bill in peoples faces and telling them they should look at just what was paid for so they would appreciate it better?._______ WOW, hell's best kept secret is that Christ in you is the hope of glory and upon the revelation that He is the Son of God is the foundation that Christ builds (and continues to build) the church upon and the gates of hell will not prevail against it._________ Ray is EXTREMELY right when he quotes 1 John 1:8-10, and I repeat, if anyone says that they have not sinned is decieving themselves....... however... when God says that I am His son saved by grace through faith, the faith that He gave me, and that I am the righteousness of God, I am not going to dismiss that. ________ I mean come on... is the gospel good news or great news?_______Just read what the Bible has to say about this issue.________Take God at His word, don't be like Eve in Genesis 3. Rather be like Lazarus, who, even after being brought back from the dead, still had to be loosed of his bonds.

How anyone can watch this tripe...for the brainwashed. People, learn to go out and respect everyone as if they are part of you...that's easy to do. You don't need some evangelist telling you that.

Are these charlatans still on the air? Amazing that the mindless sheep who call themselves religious, or more laughingly, spiritual, still buy into this transparent nonsensical crap. Face it, losers: every single one of these TV evangelists is a money-grubbing phony, and anyone who wastes their time and what limited brain power they have watching this idiocy ought to leave the TV set out in the garbage, where it belongs, and actually pick up a secular book and try to learn something. That is, if they're capable of doing so. Which I doubt.

awesome ... I learned alot just by watching 4 minutes!

After 20 years of churchgoing I was finally truly saved after hearing Ray Comfort's message. He presents the Biblical truth of the gospel, not just God for prosperity, comfort, or entertainment. Now that I am a born-again ChristianI use his teachings in my own evangelism outreach. I thank God- he used Ray Comfort's ministry to bring me to Christ.

This man is BOLD! The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.

By far the greatest equiper of our time.

Outstanding and on FIRE for GOD!!!!

Awsome evengelist. www.livingwaters.com

Ray tells it like it is!

BIBLICAL evangelism, and the most inspiring live action evangelism I've ever seen.

Ray Comfort is a wonderful preacher. His teaching on evangelism is life-changing!

In a time when most Christian leaders are more concerned about their building programs and church attendance numbers, Ray Comfort is shining his light in the world.
