Les Feldick teaches on neutral ground in order to remain independent of any denomination and to reach across all denominational lines.
Les wants people from every church background to feel free to learn, and he repeatedly says he is not associated with any particular denomination. By staying neutral, he avoids attacking or favoring any group and can simply teach the Word as he sees it. This allows him to help people read and understand the Bible without denominational barriers.
The provided transcripts do not quote a specific Scripture passage about meeting on neutral ground. This question is answered from Les Feldick's teaching practice rather than from a single verse.
Les Feldick deliberately teaches as an independent, non-denominational Bible teacher rather than from within a particular church or denomination. He says his classes have various denominations represented and that he does not "temper or trumpet any particular organization" [Clip 2]. He is "totally independent" and likes it that way because he is free to teach as he feels the Holy Spirit has instructed him [Clip 2]. He also says he is "not associated with any particular denomination" [Clip 3] and that he will not "criticize and attack anybody" or "lift up one denomination over another" [Clips 1, 3, 5]. He simply teaches the Word "as I see it" [Clip 1] and wants to "reach across all the denominational lines" [Clip 1]. His neutral-ground approach is tied to his mission: to help people read and understand the Bible for themselves [Clip 1]. Because he is under "no peer pressure, no denominational pressure" [Clip 4], and because no organization underwrites him [Clips 1, 7], he is free to let the Bible speak without favoring or attacking any group.
Les tells his television audience that he is "totally independent" and does not "temper or trumpet any particular organization" [Clip 2]. He also says, "We're not connected with any group. We don't trumpet any group. We don't ridicule or fault any group" [Clip 5]. This independence is what makes it possible for him to teach on neutral ground and simply open the Bible with whoever comes.
When Les teaches, he makes it clear that people of "various denominations" are represented [Clip 2]. He wants to "reach across all the denominational lines" [Clip 1] so that no one feels attacked or that one group is being favored over another [Clips 1, 3]. His goal is simply to "help people read the Bible in a way that they understand" [Clip 1].
Les says, "We just simply teach the Word as I see it" and that he does not expect everyone to agree with him on every point [Clip 1]. He hopes those who disagree will be pushed to study the Bible for themselves because his goal is "just to get people to realize what a fantastic book this is" [Clip 4]. This freedom comes from being under "no denominational pressure" [Clip 4].
Les states, "We have no one underwriting us" [Clip 1] and "No one underwrites us. We depend completely upon the gifts of God's people to stay on the air" [Clip 7]. This independence prevents any organization from controlling or limiting what he teaches.
