Secondly, it is necessary to 'name names' because often people do not believe the problem exists until it is illustrated. It is easier to convince someone that all is not well if a concrete illustration can be offered. It is harder to argue with the printed page, video footage or the words of a cassette tape. The case is more easily established when it can be demonstrated that the things specified have indeed been said and been faithfully recorded. Anonymous sources and vague unspecific comments don't cut much ice.
Names have to be named.
Crucially, CRN's mandate for this is the Apostle Paul who never shrank from doing so in Epistles to be read openly in the early churches. Thirdly, it is reasonable that leaders who exert a high profile and influence in the professing church should be subjected to greater examination and if necessary public censure. Those who speak at conferences, make statements, circulate tapes, write books and make videos designed for wider circulation beyond their own congregations are operating and influencing in the public domain . For such people to feel aggrieved at criticism is to be guilty of wanting to enjoy the privilege of a wider ministry but failing to shoulder the responsibility. Jeremiah addressed Hananiah before the same audience that Hananiah himself had sought to influence.
