Dunno. Maybe.I think people are just hungry to the point that even the bitter is sweet.
Just like every thing else in christianity.Your judgement my friend regarding who is "religious" and who isn't, could be up for debate.
Strange fire certainly exists, but as we see the verses where we hear about strange fire there is also a fire from God:It is absolutely ridiculous, what is more ridiculous is that people are fooled by this nonsense. Strange fire.
I have never claimed such a thing.Why would you presume that God never does anything extraordinary that is visible to even carnal human eyes?
If it was truly the glory of God, everyone in that room would be dead.I could simulate this very easily with a faulty commercial air conditioner.. I’ve even experienced it in my car. But who knows maybe that was a glory cloud.
Yeah, they also tried, and failed, to raise a girl from the dead in December. These people belong in insane asylums.The wife and I have a very close friend who is and has been involved with this church for a very long time, and I do have to say they practice some bizarre things. They’ll lay on the graves of passed Christian people to try and receive the residual of their anointing?
I wonder how the shepherds survived when the glory of the Lord shone around them. . . .If it was truly the glory of God, everyone in that room would be dead.
It wasn't his full glory in Luke. Bethel church claims this was full glory.I wonder how the shepherds survived when the glory of the Lord shone around them. . . .
NAh you cant leave, this forum finally has a bit of life in it, we need more of you.Thank you all for the variety of responses (in line with what I hoped).
Being the other side of the pond the majority came in whilst I was asleep and that makes it very difficulty for me to find points at which i would otherwise have joined in.
Bless you all for responding.....I guess that, on balance, I am safe to continue to involve in CB (which is why I raised the thread)
Can you tell us where you got that information? I didn't see where they claimed it was the "full glory."It wasn't his full glory in Luke. Bethel church claims this was full glory.
Read it in a CT article a while back.Can you tell us where you got that information? I didn't see where they claimed it was the "full glory."

If they think there is God appearing in a dust cloud out of the vents, laying on people's graves, etc, yeah, they are NOT normal.my friend lives for Bethel. She is in school there. She is a beautiful intelligent single mother who has raised her only son completely alone. He is grown now. She feels like they are all family there. She and I don’t agree about Bethel, or the things they practice. I’ve heard it all. Even for a time listened to Bill Johnson’s podcasts but then went away from it. Point is, my friend is otherwise very normal and a loving person. She just wants somewhere to belong. Yes, she has mentioned going to lay on graves for anointing. She is bold and courageous but maybe secretly more of a follower than she is aware. “These people belong in insane asylums.” I wouldn't say so. No more than any other denominations.

Except the things at Bethel are not of God. They are of the devil.going to sleep. I don’t know you but I’m sure you have some beliefs others might call not normal. As I admitted I almost was caught up in it also but don’t regret going through any of it as all of it (not only Bethel) has taught me something. I know I do it too...but it is irritating here on the board when reading remarks on how stupid people are for not knowing this or seeing that. When we are where we are until God shows us differently.
Actually its by grace through faith, the bible cannot save any man, was that a play on words??we are saved now by the Word of God
