Smiths teaching is fundamentalist. It stresses basic Bible study. Its back to basics without a bunch of weird interpretations. He just relies upon the Lord and reads the Bible for what it says.

Experts say that Smiths music ministry and informal approach to a younger generation in the 1970s and 1980s has paid dividends.
