I don't look upon Brother Ruckman as a model of civility, nor is his speech fair and enticing, but some might also malign one of the best Christians that lived:
"And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
I take what Brother Ruckman teaches, from God's word, and learn from it. Smooth and suave he isn't, but isn't that the mark of a false prophet? See 2 Peter 2.
