Harold Camping and Family Radio: background, personal history, and two early warning signs of bad theology

Family Radio was broadcast on many AM radio stations worldwide. Camping made two notably problematic statements: (1) 'Nobody was saved in the 1980s' — that the Holy Spirit stopped saving people for roughly two decades (roughly 1970s to 1994); (2) 'True believers agree on all doctrine' — that genuine faith produces doctrinal unanimity. Mike found both claims absurd and stopped listening. He had not yet realized Camping was heading toward a global false end-times prediction.
