David Platt and Francis Chan

I'm wondering if David Platt and Francis Chan are considered Anabaptist? If not, what category or fellowship do they represent?

Here's a vid I found on their discipleship thoughts.

They are not historically, culturally, or theologically Anabaptist.

I do think they allowed themselves to be influenced by the Bible just like Conrad G. and George B. did many years ago. So they end up at the same destination.

So they end up at the same destination.

I don't really know either of them. In what ways do they end up at the same destination? In what ways do they differ?

Ernie implies that the logical conclusion of their approach would lead them to Anabaptism, but they aren't all the way there. Do you agree?

I think the logical conclusion would lead them to become Kingdom Christians (as defined by Bercot) or Pilgrim Church (as defined by Broadbent). Historic Anabaptism is a subset of both.

If I'm understanding you correctly, these gentlemen aren't affiliated - yet, but they may become KC or PC.

Do you happen to know the reason the college may be named Sattler? Is it for Michael Sattler?

These aren't denominations. Broadbent was a Plymouth Brethren missionary who wrote many years back and is now dead. I don't know if David Bercot is formally affiliated with any denomination.

If I understand Ernie correctly, he is saying that historic Anabaptism would be one group of Christians who would fit into the vision of both Broadbent and Bercot, but not the only one. And he hopes that Platt and Chan will move further in that direction.

Off the record, I've heard the name comes from the Sattler Brothers.

Correct.
Bercot is not affiliated with a denomination, but is a member at a Mennonite church.

Yes, I hope Platt and Chan will keep moving in that direction, and if they acquiesce, I hope that some of their followers will keep moving in that direction.
