Didn't know that.
That's news to me as well.
Glad to hear Miley Cyrus is a believer in Christ. Know she's been going through a rough time of it lately. May God keep her safe in the industry she works in.
I read recently in National Review in their "The Week" section that Miley Cyrus just posed for Vanity Fair Magazine wearing nothing but a bedsheet. She's 15 and her father was with her and gave his consent to the photo shoot. This is wrong on so many levels I can't even start the list...

Was he not a Puritan?
Two you may not think of: Bono and Bettie Page.
Bono might not be that surprising, other than the fact that it's hard to imagine the lead singer of one of the top 5 all-time great rock bands being a believer. But he does make a clear profession of faith, and in a recent interview basically said you had to believe Christ or reject Him, and that there was no middle ground (he claims to believe in Him). When you think about it, about the worst thing U2 does is use profanity in some of their concerts. Their lyrics are relatively "clean" otherwise. So, I would tend to accept his profession of faith as legitimate.
As for Bettie Page, she was one of the first and still "greatest" nude pin-up models of the 1950's. She had a somewhat strange conversion experience in her 40's, and became reclusive afterwards, but is said to have maintained her faith, despite some serious mental problems. I'm not sure of the exact nature of her belief, but from what I've heard it was a real repentance and faith.
Bono from what I understand is a "Mel Gibson"-type RC.
I think he would profess to be evangelical.
Y'all are getting me riled up. Amen and pass the ammunition!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I get an amen. are Reformed people allowed to shout amen or is that a charismatic thing
Of course we are, its know as being Reforismatic.

If anyone wants the name of the denomination that publishes that tract & would like to see if it's still in print, just send me a PM... I will abide by their wishes not to go really public with their stance on "what's wrong" with play-acting.

Margaret, is any of these the pamphlet in question?
Lol, we are open about our beliefs in that respect, seeing they are freely available on the interweb.
The Evil of Drama
THE CHRISTIAN AND THE FILM ARTS
The Christian and Entertainment -- by Rev. Dale Kuiper
Stephen Charnock's admonition that "it is a grave sin to presume to judge the state of another man's soul," whether saved or lost, still holds for me.
As to all of these people: I just don't know. We won't know until we "get there" ourselves.

The idea that Bono from U2 is a believer has been circulated for years. I like his music but until I see a real change in his life, I will not be convinced he is a believer. He was raised a Papist and knows about holiness as much as the average pagan. He is a strong humanitarian but this does not make one a Christian.
Every actor on that list that I've looked up has been a member of the LDS cult.

Chuck Norris would not appreciate that.....
# When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
# Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
# Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost
Olivia Newton-John?
For real????
Here's a recent quote from her fan site:
Quotes
"To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt." -Olivia Newton-John.
The "Patrick McDermott gone missing" episode remains a bit tawdry...
"Fruit of the spirit?" Hopefully, in the bud, but -- not overly obvious right now.

Not sure that I understand your comment? Did you mean to imply that staying home with your daughter or getting a massage shows a lack "fruit of the Spirit"?
Russell Crowe makes some ambiguous claims to faith...
FOXNews.com - Russell Crowe Plans to be Baptized in Chapel of His Australian Ranch - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment
Not sure what's going on there -- there doesn't seem to be any reference to Christ, but maybe there is more to it than Crowe explains. The whole story is pretty interesting... Crowe is certainly correct that it doesn't make much sense to baptize his children without being baptized himself... But baptism without reference to Christ makes even less sense.

I try not to be a stick in the mud but that is one lame testimony. I admit I am a doubting Thomas sometimes but "not until I see the" words "I have sinned and know Jesus alone can save" or something that looks like genuine realization of his state of being a dead man walking and Christ the giver of life.
I promise to ask for forgiveness if this is legit.
What is strange is that he's an Aussie and Pastor Winzer can probably verify that Australia (his neck of the woods anyway) is not known for religious activity among the people there, esp Christianity. Why would a Hollywood man and (an Australian one at that) bother with baptism? I bet his wife has something to do with it (hunch).
