Comments on: Slain in the Spirit or Mental Manipulation? It’s Mind Tricks Folks! http://www.independentconservative.com/2007/03/23/mental_tricks/ The Independent Conservative saying what needs to be said!

Paul specifically stated in his letters to Corinthians that charismatic activity during church service (and in general) was to be kept under control and more importantly in its proper context (i.e. not that important). So, these whole religious movements based totally on charismatic experience and gifts of the spirit should be avoided. It is great to be able to speak in tongues and prophecy and see and experiences miracles like healing, but they should not be the foundation of our faith or the motivation of our walk with Christ. The New Testament (and the Old) makes it clear that demons are capable of producing through people works and experiences that are “charismatic”, and moreover appear mighty powerful to humans. But what demons cannot produce are pure works from a heart filled with unconditional love. Works and experiences might be why you become a Christian, but charity and the other fruits of the spirit are why you stay one and how you be an effective one.

Treating him like an ordinary man who just did some good things on Earth and later received power for it. They don't realize that Jesus was and is part of the God-head and <a href="http://www.lhvm.org/trinity.htm" rel="nofollow">the Trinity is real</a>. This is why the <a href="http://www.carm.org/oneness.htm" rel="nofollow">"Oneness" doctrine is so messed up.</a> And did you ever see Creflo saying the same kind of heresy and lies as Copeland? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JONZ4BVcFo8" rel="nofollow">Check out this clip.</a> Oh yea man, they are starting to sound like the Mormons when it comes to their view of Jesus.
