Which Bob Gray?

[supernova8610]

I went to my soon-to-be-ex IFB church this morning and in the little pamphlet thingy they hand out every week it said that a "Bob Gray II" would be "in the area for a Teen Revival". I couldn't remember... is it Bob Gray 1 that's the one to be avoided or the 2nd one?

Run like Hades from both Bob Grays and any of their spawn that share the name.

I would recommend avoiding both Bob Gray, Sr. and Bob Gray II of Longview. The other Bob Gray for whom "avoid" would be the understatement of the year was Bob Gray of Trinity in Jacksonville. He was a child molester, who died in 2007.

Avoid both. The father is the more clever deceiver of the two, the Bob Gray that was referred to in James Spurgeon's Book, The Texas Baptist Crucible. But the son is another pod from the mother ship of Fundamentalism.

One thing that bothers me is that they're portraying him as this supposed "great man of God."
