This video summarizes much in an hour, that is spoken of here. But for the grace of God, many of us would have remained deceived.

If you could show me where you recieved those videos, I’d appreciate it, Brah. I’d like to add them onto my site. Thanks for the posting (though it would’ve been nice if the video had the entire segments from which the clips derived so people could see the entire thing…..especially in the case that one were to say "That was taken out of contex").
Blessings, Brah…..

Click the link under the video and it will take you to the page for that video where you can get embed code. With the YouTube videos posted, you can click them and get the embed code from YouTube.
Nobody is going to post entire segments of this madness, that would make the video 10 hours of worthless heresy. Clips are good enough for those ready to embrace sound doctrine. There will always be excuses from those who can’t see.

Please finish watching before making another comment. You’re asking for something you have not even fully watched yet.

Ahhh! IC, You have it all wrong. Here is a link to some pitiful Christians who are weak and wont prosper this Christmas because they don’t believe in the Prosperity Gospel. You see what happens when you actually read your Bible instead of listening to the Mand of Gawd. Well here is what happnes.

Please don’t assume my actions, Brah. I’ve seen the clip before (as well as many of the others ones involved in it)
December 21st, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Didn’t mean to come across "sassy" if I did, Brah. Again, just clarifying where I was coming from

Gxg, have you taken the time to watch this entire video? Have you seen The Blind and The Dead before? To see how exactly the material is presented?
If not, please watch in full and then comment.
Let’s all ensure we’ve reviewed the material presented in full as it has been constructed for this presentation.
December 21st, 2007 at 5:59 pm
That was one eye-opening video, to say none the least. You can get in full on Google Video. Just search: "The Blind and the Dead"
December 21st, 2007 at 6:05 pm
I’ve added a link under the video that goes directly to the full video there on Google Video. Also, clicking the "Google Video" button in the video box and selecting "Go to Google video" does the same.
Some of the footage I had seen before, but not all and I feel it is laid out well with him offering correct scriptures at the proper points, to make his case without any malicious intent. It’s certainly something any TBN, God TV, Word Network, Inspiration Network and the like fan should watch in full.
December 21st, 2007 at 6:43 pm
I had to laugh when Benny Hinn states , at the 56:04 mark of the video , that "when he gets to glory all his bills will be paid." From all appearances where he is going won’t be glory. When he checks out of this physical existence the spiritual tab that he is running up won’t and can’t be paid . His only hope is the real Jesus ,the one whom he and the others of his ilk have turned their backs on.
I am so grateful that I got out of that mess and I’m trying to warn others about them.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:48 am
God bless you IC!!
What an eye-opening bible study! As usual, you always provide informative truth on pulpit-pimps that are utilized to help free and keep free the captives!
I need your assistance: Regarding the section on Unholy Laughter, Texx Marks referred to James 4:9…based on the context of chapter 4-i couldn’t understand how it fit w/unholy laughter. I agree that it is not of God–i think
ministers,charlatans use it as a filler, when they’re at a loss for words. Can u help me understand James 4:9??Thanks,
Bria ;))
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:01 am
Excellent video, Brah. Very informative…..though IMHO I think it would be good to clarify that it doesn’t represent everybody within the Charismatic movement (i.e. believing in spiritual gifts/signs & wonders, prophecy, etc)……, as there are many within the movement with the same stance as Mr.Marks, calling out names/dealing with issues, and who are genuinely trying to reconstruct things (and with much effectiveness)…and as it is there are so many variations that it wouldn’t be fair to lump everything together.
For a good example of what I mean, consider this discernment ministry that deals with the Apostolic/Prophetic movement & people such as KIM CLEMENT (who wwas seen in the video)
http://spiritoferror.wordpress.com/category/elijah-list/
Apart from that, solid video. Definately needs to be investigated moreso by others….
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:03 am
On a sad note, it’s amazing to see that if the informatiion in this video was seen by others, people would still SWEAR that it wasn’t real…..
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:27 am
briabria37 - James 4 in full notes how people who claim the Lord’s name but are doing things not of God should not be laughing, but rather mourning. Consider versus 9 and 10 given what was shown.
James 4:9-10 (New American Standard Bible)
Basically, they are doing something out of God’s will and need to humble themselves in repentance.
It does not address "holy laughter" specifically, James 4 really is speaking specifically against envy, quarrels and other things that would make one a friend of the world for the sake of greed and lusts, but I think James 4:9 is still a valid verse to note…because they should be crying and repenting for what they are doing. They are acting somewhat out of pride, which is noted in James 4.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:44 am
Gxg, people come to the truth as the Lord wills. Many will always deny, others come to know the truth as the Lord wills. 2 Thessalonians 2 notes that many will fall away.
I think the video was most fair given the topic addressed. If you want a sign, read the Bible, if you want a prophecy, read the Bible.
Guess who we are promised would be the one doing the "signs and wonders"
Matthew 24:24 (New American Standard Bible)
We are not in the age of the apostles and to continually seek a "sign" is NOT of God. It was similar when Christ walked the earth in flesh and although He did many things, there were still requests for a "sign".
Matthew 16:4 (New American Standard Bible)
I think the video is correct in how things are addressed. When speaking of something such as tongues, he does not say not to beleive that God could will it if he desired for ministry, but that what is being done as was shown is NOT of God.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:48 am
Regarding John Arnott, the man who was noted as behind the "holy laughter", he or I should say his so-called church have even tried to sue people who expose them.
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:31 am
A demon possessed congregation at Kenneth Hagins ministries, Benny Hinn sounding like Rev Ike, because he wants his heaven now, Paul Crouch talking about hypocrites and what about that scandal about gay sex with that homosexual? Kenneth Copeland sounding like something out of Isaiah 14:12-14. He said God said I AM, then he goes on to say I am too. That’s as far as my video would go. Boy! it’s getting ugly in these last days but it is supposed too. The enemy’s days are numbered and he knows it.
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:38 am
Where is "THE AGE OF APOSTLES" in the Bible? Where the apostlest the ONly ONEs WHO DID miracles in the NT? Where does the Word of God say that it’s BAD TO CONTINUALLY REQUEST A SIGN..because if that’s the case, then we have a contradiction:
Using the verse in Matthew 16:4 as a reason to not requests signs is a bad hermenutic if other passages are not to be adressed.
I’ve studied the arguments against the issue multiple times, and I must admit that the evidence against praying for signs is inadequate. It doesn’t deal with how they’re happening in many sound churches today rather than the crazy one’s seen in the video (which don’t represent the CHARISMATIC movement as a whole). It This is how many churches pray today (fully aware of how the Anti-Christ will do the same thing, though realizing that’s not the ONLY THING the Word says on the subject or adressing WHO WILL BE DOING SIGNS AND WONDERS)……and many of them are doing just fine (like John Piper’s for example), preaching the Word of God & changing lives for the Gospel.
And moreover, it doesn’t renconcile that with the VARIOUS persecuted/godly churches around the world who witness such things (i.e. miracles, healings, etc), as well as the testimonies of those who’ve EXPERIENCED THEM or performed them too.
Again, I’ve WITNESSED these things myself (on mission trips MANY TIMES & at youth camps)……..and I’d like to be fair in judgement (Proverbs 16:11, Proverbs 20:10, Proverbs 20:23)
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:50 am
Actually, Brah, please do not worry about posting the post in moderation. I realize that the issue could go back & forth for awhile, and I don’t think it’d be benefical for many reasons. Regardless of stances, the video was nonetheless very informative. Peace…
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 pm
IC
thanks for clarification…i knew the scripture would tie in some kind of way…I was making it more difficult than necessary-thanks
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Gxg asked:
It’s called Acts and their writings. The events during their lives and establishment of the church. You are now in the church age regardless of whether you acknowledge it.
Show me the man with the gift of miracles today please? Please oh please oh please show us. As I’ve already said, what you cited is not the age we are in. The age we are in is what you can read in 2 Thessalonians 2 and shows signs coming from THE ENEMY. I’m not saying God does not will what he wants, but your sign seeking is not good.
Acts 4:29-31 was during the apostolic age, not the age of the church and again Matthew 16:4 shows that the wicked are the ones who continually seek after signs. We who have faith don’t need a "sign", that’s why it’s called FAITH. There is no contradiction.
If God wills, so be it, but no it’s not right to run around seeking such and from ALL who claim to build a "ministry" on "signs and wonders" you will find 100% charlatans and people lost in bad doctrines.
These folks are claiming a whole bunch of miracles at the moment.
On this we agree, teaching, helping, loving, learning (knowledge) is what we are seeing. This is not at all confused by anyone, because those looking for "signs and wonders" are not simply looking for the gospel message.
Again, healings come as the Lord wills. This does not mean you should always "seek" a sign and wonder. And often when some of those "wonders" are investigated they are not well supported. Again I will note that with "visions" your mind can show you anything, especially in times of distress, Colossians 2:18-19.
Than tell us what you’ve witnessed. I’ve experienced and witnessed healings and other things. This does not mean I seek signs, I HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST for salvation and live for Him, even if not another person is healed, even with man’s medicines. To rest your faith on seeking signs, you leave all who DON’T have a healing with the contradiction. Get off the sign seeker bandwagon.
Nobody is saying God can’t will a miracle, however it’s not our job to continually "seek" such, we have faith and faith alone is sufficient. The unbelievers have been given signs such as ministering to them in their native language, 1 Corinthians 14:22. Are you an unbeliever? Do you need a "sign" in order to have faith?
Christ told you who would have the great signs and wonders coming:
Matthew 24:24
So if it’s the GREAT signs and wonders that you want to continually seek, you’ll land in Satan’s lap.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Gxg, this is the place to discuss these kinds of matters, not other threads. Your comment was approved, is visible and responded to.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Brah, if you’d like to discuss more, please email me (with your cell) and we can talk more in-depth. I’m more than open for discussion, but I honestly don’t think this environment would be the best place (as it’s much quicker/easier to simply talk things through rather than writing them down)…..but again, only if interested.
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:55 pm
IC, I have a question before the two of you close out. There have been situations whereas people had visions in the night and it manifested. Would you say those visions are of the devil or that God willed that situation?
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:03 pm
art123 asked:
I think Melvin has best addressed this in asking, what in the vision don’t you already have in scripture? Of course if it adds to (or deletes from) scripture, you’ve got a Revelation 22:18-19 issue if you trust in the vision. If it adds nothing or takes nothing away, it’s done nothing you can’t get from scripture. If you have a vision that you’ll get a check in the mail tomorrow, what good was the vision? Was the check still not coming? If you have a vision that you’ll be hurt tomorrow and you are hurt tomorrow, what good was the vision, you were still hurt.
Now if I’m about to get on an airplane, I have a bad feeling about getting on that airplane, I refuse to get on the airplane and the airplane crashes, thank the Lord. If I get on that airplane, the airplane crashes and I physically die, is my soul not still saved? Of course I’m still saved, thank the Lord AGAIN and go on to be with the Lord, so either way the saint wins.
Even if I have a bad feeling about getting on a plane, get on the plane and physically die, nobody can say I sinned. It’s no sin to get on a plane versus riding a car, bus or train. If I physically die, I inherit eternally life, if I survive, I proclaim the Lord keeping me to proclaim His name.
The bottom line is, what can a vision give you that you can’t get from scripture? I say nothing. Which takes us back to the warning of Colossians 2:18-19. And in 2 Peter 1:16-21 we are told we have the SURE WORD in scripture, not someone’s interpretation of something they claim they saw. I don’t need what anyone claims they "saw" other than what Jesus tells me in scripture is going on in Heaven and what the apostles and their evangelists proclaimed. That is and has been more than enough and we’re still seeking the Holy Spirit to lead us in truth from that.
We are to follow what God gave us in His Word. Never can it be said that anyone now is in sin to not heed a word that is not within scripture but was of their own vision, or someone else’s vision, back again at Colossians 2:18-19. Now look at how this false teacher John Jenkins has people following his "vision" and telling them they can’t learn on their own with the Holy Spirit helping them. He’s essentially claiming he must lead them to all truth. He speaks of apostles, because he obviously sees the words from his mouth as being on par with an apostle. (A real apostle in scripture, not those who claim they are an "apostle" today holding apostolic authority and are not.) So I don’t follow anyone’s "vision", I follow the SURE WORD.
You asked if God or Satan might have caused someone to have a vision, well we might have simply thought it up of our own flesh. If the vision happens, again, what can some vision provide you that you can’t get from scripture? And once you start trusting in visions, you’ve got a problem as I’ve already explained. Perhaps you may feel led to tell someone about Christ, praise the Lord, scripture suggest we do just that.
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:29 pm
IC, there are people in this world that believe that they’ve encountered or had visions of angels. The scripture does support this by saying that we could be entertaining them. Any comments? Also I would like to say that preachers like John Jenkins take Romans 10:14-15 and run with it. I saw his site and commented.
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Scripture actually does not support that.
Hebrews 13:2 (New American Standard Bible)
The scripture about entertaining angels involves a stranger coming to you in need of hospitality. Nothing about visions of angles.
Now consider the text of the scripture I mentioned.
Colossians 2:18-19 (New American Standard Bible)
I’ll hold to the head, and those who desire to chase angels could be following a false angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14 (New American Standard Bible)
I saw your comment on Melvin’s blog and already responded before making this comment here. Lord willing, the comment will make it beyond moderation to be posted. That is about reaching unbelievers, not saints and yes pimps abuse that, but I explain in full in the comment.
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:03 pm
Could you please show your backing as to where this vere involves a stranger coming to you for hospitality…or that ANGELS are not what the text is talking about if it says so point blank?
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:05 pm
Actuallly, never mind that……I got what you were saying about visions of angels
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:57 pm
IC, let me see if I understand you. In other words, the vision of angels mean that you saw demons but if a stranger in the flesh came to you in need of hospitality, you can be entertaining angels unawares. Or if for an example a stranger like me or you came to someone in need of hospitality, then we are the angels that are being entertained that are unawares to them. Psalms 8 made a distinction between man and angels, plus I do not condone angel worship at all.
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:14 pm
I would also like to say that I am familiar with the author of the video, Texx Marrs though I haven’t purchased his books yet, which can be seen on amazon.com. I’ve read his material online and he was the person who really talks about the ugly side to todays evangelist, especially about Hagee and Hagin. He also talks about political issues as well. He said that the Roman Catholic religion is based on Satan worship and centers around Mary. The upside cross means the rejection of Christ and the worship of the antichrist. It is combined with Christianity and the customs of the heathens. I saw his work online recently.
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Art123, I’m not saying the stranger is not an angel. A stranger is a stranger, we are to show them love if they have need just the same. We might later find it was an angel we entertained without knowing, we may find we just were nice to another person. And when I say "we might later find…", I mean we all could have already entertained several angels without knowing for all we know and learn about it after this life.
Psalm 8 says nothing about angels though…
With visions, I’m saying I don’t put trust in them. I don’t care if a supposed angel is in it or Sammy Davis Junior. I have the sure word. Before what we have now God spoke to men via other means.
Hebrews 1:1-2 (New American Standard Bible)
Christ has come, spoken, died, resurrected and His apostles gave us the completed scriptures.
I can’t say I endorse everything from the mouth of Texx Marrs and I can’t say I fully endorse everything Texx Marrs does, however I feel his video is sound, he’s trying as best he knows and he seems to be a man who is saved by grace like myself. I also trying best I know as led by the Holy Spirit, just as I feel about him.
Roman Catholicism is false and I’ll be pointing out why even more in the future, although I’ve already started showing it. An upside down cross is typically not an endorsement of the faith.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:11 pm
IC, the scripture is in Psalms 8:4-5, and it states that man was made a little lower than them, but not much about angels. Also I’ve got the author’s first name wrong. It is spelled Texe Marrs.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Well Texe or Texx, we know who we’re talking about
I beleive we have a translational issue with Psalms 8:4-5. NASB says God, KJV says angels, the root Hebrew term is ‘elohiym. The English term used seems to vary depending on the translator. Although even KJV often uses the term "God" for the term ‘elohiym.
December 22nd, 2007 at 7:18 pm
I believe that the KJV is more rock solid than all of these other translation bibles out there.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Ultimately for this one KJV has it correct.
The best interpretive tool, using scripture to interpret scripture shows it to be "angels". Seeing how Hebrews 2:7 is a direct reflection of Psalm 8:5 in speaking of Christ coming to earth in flesh. The Greek term aggelos which is used often for angels or messengers is used in the book of Hebrews and can’t be mistaken for the use of the term God.
I did a good bit of other research, just to have all bases covered and I did not mention it in my previous comment, but it should always be kept in mind that ‘elohiym best directly translates to English as "mighty ones", but the issue is always knowing which "mighty ones" are spoken of. The term is used to define everyone from governors with earthly authority, judges in Exodus 22:9, to God Himself in many other Hebrew scriptures including Genesis 1:1. God being triune, the fact ‘elohiym is a plural Hebrew term used throughout Hebrew scripture only supports the Trinity while not trying to make it appear there is more than one God. Refer to a paper I’ve cited here before titled Jewishness and the Trinity by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum for more about that.
It seems that NASB often mishandles the term ‘elohiym and loses the proper context of the term for a given statement in many cases.
I’ve run into translation issue with every English version I’ve used, KJV included, but scripture is always the best way to interpret scripture. Here is a good video related to scripture interpreting scripture and how scripture is inerrant.
I will say though, that for proper usage of the term ‘elohiym in correct context it seems KJV handles that term best in every case I’ve researched tonight and I’ve been cross checking a lot of verses over various English translations.
Still Psalm 82:6 across all translations will give the untrained fits and that’s why we see the pimps claiming they are "little gods" when they are not. For Psalm 82:6 in English, the use of the term "mighty ones" is far more fitting than "gods", because the Hebrew did not reserve the term ‘elohiym to deity, but we reserve the word "god" to deity in English.
Anyway, this was some fun research art123 and thanks for citing that verse. You were correct in that verse showing how man is lower than the angels, which we all (I hope) already knew
.

What an ungodly mess!
December 23rd, 2007 at 3:00 am
I’ve seen most of those clips in watching various videos at various times, but to see a compilation of so many included within one video, with the appropriate Scriptures presented ahead of each clip made for a more coherent presentation. I thank God for the wonderful light He has given me. It’s a blessing to know the truth. Had I watched this video as a youngster, it would’ve had me laughing, but because I have been blessed in having been under the teachings of sound biblical doctrine, it was both appalling [the deceit, the greed, the lies, fraud, etc.] as well as sad [so many souls being led astray by these selfish, ungodly men]. Thanks IC for all you do to keep us aware of the devil’s desciples.
December 23rd, 2007 at 12:12 pm
BagLady said:
And that is why I desired folks to watch it in full. We’ve all seen several of those videos before, but things were well compiled with good scripture references to show why there is a problem. So we see why it’s really not a joke, but a serious, serious problem.
Thank you for the kinds words, I’m just thankful God saw fit for me to get away from it.
December 23rd, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Very good. I know you are glad that God delivered you from it. Yes, I was up until almost 3 this morning watching it because I’d dozed off in the middle of it when I first started watching, but awakened and started it over from the beginning. The worst of this is that the world thinks all this ungoldy mess is being done by Christians! Some of the comments generated by unsaved people, who are under the false impression that these people they are watching performing all kinds of circus antics are Christians, make me cringe. It gives a black eye to the body of Christ. While at the website I saw other short videos, including one of a Black man, acting like he was a gospel preacher, but the man cursed continually, using vile, multi-syllable, nasty words and taking the name of the Lord in vain while occasionally throwing in some disjointed Scripture. Of course, the unsaved viewers, as usual, posted a lot of negative comments, accusing these people they were watching on these videos of being the reason they don’t like "Christians." Who would’ve thought it, all this that is giong on in the world, except we were warned of this by the written Word. And even so, I still am amazed at what I see and hear.
December 23rd, 2007 at 8:26 pm
The false apostles really do make a mess. From my read, scripture such as Acts 2:43 and Acts 5:12 shows "signs and wonders" were prevalent among the apostles. The following scripture proves to me that "signs and wonders" were the mark of a true apostle.
2 Corinthians 12:12 (New American Standard Bible)
Now, the apostles are no longer with us. Why some people act like they need an apostle I do not know. In our "church age" the Lord wills as He desires, but minus the apostles and the church established, I’m not seeing that I need anything but faith. 2 Thessalonians 2 shows us that a great "signs and wonders" movement in our age would not be something to run to. Revelation 11 shows us 2 will come from Heaven with some major signs and wonders, but apart from that, I see a room full of vipers and pimps when someone promises a night of "signs and wonders". We simply do not have apostolic authority and need to accept what occurs as the Lord wills. I feel God’s grace is sufficient and whether or not He wills a healing, wonder or miracle is not something we can promise ourselves, because only God knows what He wills for us. We’ve all got a story of a healing or something, however, we need to stick in the scriptures and stop chasing "signs and wonders". Things occur as the Lord wills, but we have no promise that we’ll have "revival" coming, but rather apostasy.
This whole modern "signs and wonders" mess started at Azusa and should be a warning to us.
December 24th, 2007 at 1:55 am
The Word Of Faith Preachers.Are They False Prophets Or Men Of God? What Do You Think? Have Your Say 9-Dec-07 at 6:24 PM 1 comment I think it is High Time that men of God STAND UP and speak the truth in love in response to what the Bible says about proper Christian conduct and how a Man of God should be an example to the Church and the unbeliever.First of all I believe the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the Son of God,That Jesus was born of a Virgin,That Jesus died on the cross of Calvary to provide redemption from sin,and that Jesus rose on the 3rd. day.And I also believe that Jesus Christ is THE ONLY WAY in which a man can find Salvation and eternal life and apart from faith in Jesus Christ men will be judged by God who is Holy to an eternity in Hell for their wickedness and sin.I also believe what the Lord said in
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Only those who are Born Again will be saved form God’s wrath and eternal torment in hell. Secondly the Bible clearly states that we are to consider all things by the Word of God so that we know how the Man of God should conduct himself.And the word of God says in 2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
And the word of truth is what we are to use to conduct our lifes.And if one studies God word they will find In 2nd Timothy 3:16-17: it states
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Gods word is profitable for many wonderful things and here in particular 4 Things. 1-For doctrine 2-For reproof 3-For correction 4-For instruction in righteousness
And these 4 Things are provided by God to us for a reason because without sound doctrine,without reproof,without correction and without instruction in rightousness
Then v:17 would not be correct which says:
17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
So when some suggest that someone is judging by agreeing with what Senator Grassley is bringing out in the open about these Pastors lifestyles.It has been reported in the US press that some of these 6 ministries Pastors under public scrunity who are Benny Hinn,Keneth Copeland,Crefflo Dollar Joyce Myers and others, that they fly in Cessana Jets,drive Rolls Royces and Bentley Convertables,live in Mansions worth from 2 Million Dollars up to 10 Million Dollars,stay in Presidentalial Suites for a sum of one Thousand Dollars up to Ten Thousand Dollars a night and have a Salary of $500,000 up to 1 Million, or 2 Million US Dollars .One of these 6 Pastors when asked on CNN IF THEY BELIEVED JESUS WOULD AGREE TO THEM HAVING A ROLLS ROYCE? HE SAID "YES Jesus would agree"
So when we look at what is taking place with Senator Grassley,s requested inquiry on ministries such as the above and in light of the scandal at Oral Roberts University where as even the President Richard Roberts resigned a couple of weeks back after his accountant informed the world that he was instructed to "cook the books" by Richard Roberts himself and the accountant was Fired.
And when you take into account that these 6 ministries teach false teachings that I Quote.."We are all little gods" and that we have the power to create through our words,and the Properity Gospel.Now if anyone agrees with what these above Word of Faith preachers teach,then let me ask you 3 questions.#-1- Are you a little god?#-2-Do you have the power to create by the words you speak? #-3- Are you the Creator?If you honestly answer no to any of these questions then I sincerely suggest that you check out the teachings of the above Word of Faith teachers because that is exactly what they teach.Check it out for yourself because that is not what the bible teaches at all.Now perhaps one is being judgemental if you think that Doctrine Reproof,Correction and Instruction in Rightousness is not an appropiate measure to be guided by not only in these 6 Pastors ministries but in any Christian ministries.And let me ask have you really dug into what The Word of Faith Movement teaches?I suggest that any one reading this finds out and become aware of what these ministries teach.The choice is yours.
It’s about time that MEN OF GOD STAND UP and speak the word of truth in love and through Gods Word find Doctrine and Reproof false teachers and bring Correction so that people are not mislead and bring Instruction in righteousness so that people wiil be aware of what is happening.
I am an ordained Pentecostal minister in Regent Park -St. Jamestown Toronto.And I have a duty as a watchman of the church God has called me to lead.Here are some scriptures to that warn us of the very things we are talking about.
2nd.Peter 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2: And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3: And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
1 Timothy 4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1rst Timothy 6:3-11 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4: He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5: Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6: But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8: And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9: But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11: But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1rst Peter 5:2: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3: Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
