This is a biography of a living, publicly known person. As such, I suggest the sources on this page be triple checked. There are many potential inaccuracies throughout the article. Laurie has written over a dozen books, some of which are autobiographical, all of which are available at most bookstores. Suprisingly, not one of his books are cited in the article when reporting on his education or past. So where did the information come from - someone's internet blog? Is it "Wikipedia reliable" or just some biased drivel from those who don't fully agree with Laurie or his beliefs?
Also, nothing is mentioned about his significant ministry experience prior to establishing Harvest Christian Fellowship - apart from some obscure reference to a small bible study he led over twenty years ago. Laurie didn't simply "walk out of obscurity" and start preaching - let's get some better facts on this guy people! Additionally, nothing tangible is mentioned about his "Harvest Crusades" (i.e. attendence figures, past locations, guest speakers / musicians, etc). We didn't just raise almost 8 million dollars for Wikepedia to bolster our own opinions about someone's faith and qualifications.

Where did Pastor Laurie go to seminary? Does anyone know???
I believe he is first and foremost, a PASTOR. I wish WIKI would correct this, because he is/was a pastor first. Beez7005 ( talk) 03:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Just to get this out of the way first-I'm not affiliated with Greg Laurie or Harvest etc.,but I have to question this following paragraph:'Laurie holds two honorary doctorates from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, although his education is limited to high school (he has yet to attain a bachelor's degree or attend bible college).' I feel that this section in parentheses is unnecessary.It is already stated that he has only attended high school,so why is it necessary to state it again? Serenacw 09:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I think the point He is trying to make is that although Greg Laurie has a "limited" education He preaches to thousands of people and has become a multimillionaire in the process. Although He is very orthodox in His messages, many criticize His lack of "formal" education and extravagant lifestyle. Que Sera... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.232.157.78 ( talk) 14:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I have not edited this, in fact, I only just opened an account here. But I am mystified as to why the article doesn't mention Calvary Chapel and Chuck Smith. During the time I knew Greg Laurie (1975-1979) he was a preacher at the Calvary Chapel in Riverside, CA. I never heard of Frisbee, but I was aware of his attendance at Newport High. He was quite vocal about his connection to Chuck Smith and he copied Chuck's methods (as did all Calvary Chapel preachers). I thought it was odd that the entire section of his life and the basis of his "ministry" was not included in this article. His "honorary degrees" mean nothing except another way to fleece the gullible. Timmytwang 05:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC) |

Laurie's relatively new denominational affiliation is certainly newsworthy, but mention of it seems quite out of place for the introduction, unless in some parenthetical phrase like "Southern Baptist but still under the Calvary Chapel umbrella", which would be cumbersome for the opening sentence and is not here being recommended. Am not questioning his bona fides, his call from God into the Baptist camp, nor the fact that he long ago emerged from behind the shadow of Chuck Smith; but I suspect that most people who have heard of Laurie identify him as a Calvary Chapel man, and always would even if he severed all official ties with CC. FWIW, the word "Baptist" appears nowhere in the new movie about how he got his start in ministry. – HelpMyUnbelief ( talk) 04:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Who edited this to include Jesus Revolution in the introduction? Seems like an unnecessary marketing ploy to hype the just-released movie. 64.201.112.203 ( talk) 01:11, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
RECENT ENCOUNTER
While taking care of a woman with Dementia we encountered a man who was sitting in the foyer of a diner in Lindenhurst, NY. This man’s wife’s aunt recently passed away. He was searching his phone for a Dr to help his wife through this time. I provided a Dr that helped me when my husband of 31 years passed away. We prayed together for his wife & family. Then he said a blessing in all of us. Was this man you??? It’s driving me crazy that I felt I knew you but took me awhile to think of Greg Laurie since I’ve watched your sermons on TV & always found them encouraging, loving, & in direct line with God’s Word. Please respond. 631-806-8189. God bless you for all you do for all of us. LISA 24.44.38.139 ( talk) 03:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
