I would liken Billy Graham's unwillingness to judge against and tolerate for anthropocentric view, to King Solomon's end days sins.

Whether it is better to be acquainted with Stephen Tong's "friends" as one felt, especially when I was taking his courses in the 2004-5 Seminary, I believe not. For first, it would probably degrade my attention and learning should I be bothered by these (Hence a good reason to enroll seminary in Indonesia for I know not anyone there). Secondly, concerning "being introduced to Rev. Stephen Tong", the right question to ask is was I a better student and learn better than these who were also students. If so, why do I need them introducing me to the lecturer just because they know the reverend at a personal level? Do they think they are therefore "better" by knowing Rev. Stephen Tong in the first place?
I hope it would not come to a point where I need to use a penname to enroll.
