Overview
Despite what the documentary suggests, the group featured in Jesus Camp does not represent mainstream evangelical Christianity. Becky Fischer and her āKids on Fireā camp come out of a narrow Charismatic stream that pushes children into extreme emotional experiences, overemphasizes tongues, demons, and political ādominion,ā and puts a crushing spiritual burden on young kids to ātake back America for God.ā This is not healthy, biblical Christianity; it is a troubling distortion. Bibleābelieving Christians should not treat this film as the definition of our faith or of Christian camps in general. Most evangelical churches and camps focus on clear teaching of Scripture, the gospel of grace in Christ, ageāappropriate discipleship, and normal spiritual growthānot the kind of excesses and manipulation shown in this documentary.
