It was Eric and Candice Johnson who resigned.

I don't think you are Christless at all. You have demonstrated that you are totally Christ-centred. Your faith is not the issue here. It is Bill Johnson's theology. There are some aspects of his theology that are alarming. Going down to New Mexico to "wake up angels" is quite peculiar. His...

Here is a quote from someone who visited the Bethel church: "I walked into the auditorium and took a very close look at the ventilation system and lighting used in the auditorium along with the placement of the stage fixtures. I see that they have typical duct-work on the ceiling pointing down...

In support of your reply: Doesn't the Scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Spirit but the Spirit Himself?" Also, "We have the mind of Christ". and, "Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God." So, being told what to pray is another way of saying that you are led by...

That's where someone speaks out in tongues during a service and someone else interprets it. Paul taught that this was the only acceptable way of using tongues in a public meeting and there should be no more than three instances of it in a meeting.

God moves in mysterious ways and when He does something out of the ordinary, lives are changed and people get saved. That is why He does it. I've heard of others receiving gold teeth, so it is certainly possible. But was that gold dust closely examined to confirm it was actual gold dust and...

Yes. There is a difference between the ministry gift of tongues to be used in the church for the strengthening and building up of the body of Christ. That ministry is not for everyone in the same way that not everyone can be a pastor, or a prophet. And the main qualification for ministry in...

That's great. I'm a guitarist too. Rhythm guitar.

This is what I said in another forum: The ministry of Jesus to Israel was set as an example for all subsequent Christian ministry. This is shown in His statement: "The works that I do, you shall do also". This was proved through the ministry of the Apostles and others throughout the Book of...

While I was reading a commentary on 1 John this morning, a sentence jumped out of the page to me, as if the Holy Spirit wanted to bring my attention to it. It was significant seeing that I had been posting a lot on Facebook and these forums concerning the teaching and practices coming out of...

I fully agree. It is difficult sometimes to convey every shade of meaning in a response. I concentrated on those who have the notion that they can collect the gifts as one would collect baseball cards and are only satisfied when they think they have the whole set. But you are quite correct in...

You have certainly experienced the good, bad, and ugly in your church experience! True worship of God comes from the heart rather than the outward physical actions. The Scripture says to rend our hearts and not our garments. We lift our hearts to the Lord before our hands. We test everything...

John Owen said: Revelation that is not consistent with God's Word is heresy. Revelation that is consistent with God's Word is superfluous.

What caused me to see through the theatrical manifestations such as jerking, shaking, babbling in public tongues, and falling down, was when I decided to observe the pastor and church elders to see if they joined in. I found that although the pastor encouraged the manifestations, he never...

One of God's frozen people skating on thin ice!

Are you saying that this is the future of all Charismatics??

I saw the video on Youtube of a moose that ran across a river running on the top of the water. It was going so fast that there was no time for the animal to sink into the water. That's the first time I have ever seen such a thing. But I have never heard of any believer walking on water in my...

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and that is what he is doing to you. It is the Holy Spirit who answers your prayers who is "walking on water". He does what you cannot do. That's what prayer is all about. It is making requests to God for Him to do what you don't have the ability to do...

Did the Ford dealership solve the problem? If they did, then there was a person there who had the expertise to diagnose the problem and put it right, while the previous mechanics were unable to find the cause. I can quite easily believe that the Holy Spirit led you to an expert who had the...

"Lean not to your own understanding but commit your way to the Lord, and He will direct your paths". What we may see as coincidences, may very well be the Lord directing our paths. Not every miracle of God is spectacular. Most are so common place appearing that they can often be mistaken as...
