Ray Comfort, in his book “What Hollywood Believes”, wrote about the spiritual beliefs of a number of celebrites. This book is a wonderful compilation and serves to edify the believer in Jesus as well as great reading material for the un-believer. I hear all the time about celebrities that follow Scientology and are members of other cults. I generally, will not go to the movie or watch the show of these celebrities that are involved with cults because I don’t want to support their beliefs even indirectly. For instance going to see Tom Cruise or John Travolta in a movie is putting money into their pockets which is then donated to the church of scientology. (Besides, IMHO, neither of them has made a movie worth seeing in years).
So with that said, it’s been on my mind for some time now. Who are the Godly celebrities that have been born again? I’m talking movie stars, TV show personalities, sports figures and politicians. I’d like to start with a list of names and then add to the list over time. I’ll start here with this blog entry. I’ll edit it over time to add additional celebrities. Send in more names and I’ll add them to the list. For each name, then send along information with a URL to the referring site which provides proof that the person is a born again believer in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 states:
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Therefore, it seems reasonable that if a celebrity is born again, that there would be some proof of it on the Internet. Let’s see how long we can make this list!
I posted the question on Facebook, “What celebrities do you know of that are born again believers in Jesus?” I got the following responses:
- Stephen Baldwin – I am second
- Matt Barkley – USC QB
- Bill Bates
- Bono, See article in Christianity Today
- Sam Bradford – Oklahoma QB – YouTube FCA Interview
- Kirk Cameron – Wikipedia
- Adam Clayton – U2
- Alice Cooper
- Charlie Daniels – Hypermart
- George Foreman
- Steve Harvey
- Elizabeth Hasselbeck
- Mike Huckabee – I am Second
- Michael Irvin
- Colt McCoy – Texas QB – YouTube
- Gavin McLeod – Foxnews
- Chuck Norris – Official Site
- Tyler Perry – CBN
- Roy Rogers – Biography
- Connie Seleca
- Emmitt Smith – Associated Content Article
- Dee Snyder of “Twisted Sister”
- Tim Tebow – YouTube ESPN story

- Kurt Warner – YouTube
- Lisa Whelchel – Official Site
- Damian Williams…USC football player!
- ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic
- Zig Ziglar – Official Site
- Every member of U2 is a born-again Believer in Christ…
So now, let’s get busy and find URL’s to prove that each of these people believes in Jesus. Will you help me do this?
