Criticisms

Although generally regarded as carrying an positive image of Christian fraternity, and in line with Christian doctrines largely accepted, the organization relationship Campus for International Crusade for Christ and certain local movements on campuses were the target different criticisms.

Collaborators recently wiped the strong critques ones for tactics of intimidations and the refusal to cooperate with other religious, Christian organizations or not. Notable cases proceeded at the University of Miami, or several claim that Campus for Christ has " envahi" the campus, or with the " Ohio State University". With the " Ohio Wesleyan Universtity" , several students and members of the administration expressed severe criticisms and complained to be pressurized by members of the organization. Another source of tensions was the countryside " C you Approved with Adam" (translation: " are you of agreement with Adam? "), a campagn which encouraged the Christian students of the campus to openly show signs of their faith, which much found intrusive, and which generated drawings with chalk on the troittoirs, which was against the policy of the school. Groups of activists protested against the presence of the organization on the campus. These incident buildings had only very little impact on the international organization.

The principle of " multiplication spirituelle" (by using material and techniques of approach to produce " disciples" who deviennet more as Christ) were seen like a refusal of the individual variations of the personalities and talents.

Certain local managers were criticized for their authoritative and not-advisory attitude, which did not correspond well in cultures read levelling such as for example in Australia or New Zealand. Some think that the decisions of the person in charge are always made in agreement with the will of God and must thus be accepted.
