I wouldn't call Pat Robertson a Christian leader...

I don't think he has any followers.

Pat Robertson has a large following, at the very the least its enough of a following for the 700 Club to run for 40 years.

Maybe for some but he doesn't speak for all Christians...

Of course not. I'd say he doesn't speak for most. But does anyone speak for all or most Christians?

He certainly is a Christian leader and representative in that he leads and represents Christians. And he does make a hell of a lot of money doing it, too.

I'd say a Christian leader is someone that is involved with a denomination at a high level, or someone that leads a Christian council of some sorts....Someone that leads Christians in an actual congregation, or group of congregations.

Robertson holds NO leadership role over any Christian church, and has not for many many years. He is no longer the CEO of the Christian Broadcasting Network. So any sort of 'leadership' he has has been severely reduced. So I would argue that he may of been a Christian leader, but it would of been years ago.

 

Saying Pat Robertson isnt a Christian leader is like saying that Bill Gates isn't a leader in computer software.  Heck, you could argue that Bill retired, but Pat Robertson is still spilling his idiotic remarks to millions of Christian followers.
