Apostasy

Sure, pastors are men too and they might tell lies on occasion, but this is a different kind of lie — one spoken from the pulpit and even blaspheming the Holy Spirit!

What worries me more is that the audience seems to love lapping it all up, laughing at his “jokes” and agreeing with his blatant lies. Some even look impressed by his “wit”!

Notice the non-existence of God in the modern church compared to the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation:

1. Sola Cultura - let culture define church life

2. Sola Successa - let numerical success legitimize activities

3. Sola Entertaina - let entertainment be the guiding principle

4. Sola Edificia - let the edifice be the center of church life

5. Sola Programma - let programs dominate the peoples time

6. Sola Thralldoma – let the people be enslaved by whatever thrills them

7. Sola Processa – let the church be managed by business philosophies and processes

My hat’s off, mate.

Todd Bentley

I guess false prophets and teachers don’t really go away (pity!) — they just reappear somewhere else and wreck more havoc.

Right after the exposé on him was aired on Nightline on ABC, Todd Bentley announced that he would be taking time “to refresh and to rest”.

Good news! Or as I said to a brother, best piece of news to come out of Lakeland, Florida so far!

Well, surprise, surprise! Todd Bentley isn’t really gone, but it seems that moving out of Lakeland might just turn out to be a blessing in disguise for him (but a big groan of pain for us!). If you take a look at his itinerary for the rest of the year at his ministry web site (scroll down to the bottom of the page), you’ll discover that not only is Mr. Bentley not really resting, but that he will be bringing his “anointing” to several U.S. States and even to Uganda and the United Kingdom!

So, it does look like the departure from Lakeland has become an impetus for Todd Bentley to bring his ministry on a world tour and reach others who would otherwise not have a chance of receiving the “anointing” while he was entrenched in Florida.

Which means that, unfortunately, our cheers were terribly short-lived, and that, yes, we’ll soon hear more of his “BAM!” from all corners of the world.

And, so, just like the Great White in the movie Jaws, Bentley’s back to haunt and “anoint” just when you thought that the waters were safe again…

One fine Sunday morning, at a well-known WoF church in Singapore…

My apologies about the quality, I recorded it off the streaming video of the service.

While most Americans were out celebrating with friends and family over a good barbeque and enjoying the fireworks during the recent Independence Day holidays, Todd Bentley was having a whale of a time dispensing his sheek-a-boomba and creating his own ‘fire!’-works at the Lakeland Baptism Extravaganza.

This video of a church experiencing the “fire” literally gave me the creeps… the hairs on my neck and back were standing on end!

Please guard yourself against demonic influence before watching it. Not recommended for minors.

If your church pastor constantly preaches such fire and even “anoints” the congregation with such “blessings”, please discern that this is not of God and get out of there!

You know what? If this sort of story was told to a group of villagers in some remote part of the world, I think they might even laugh it off as a bad joke or silly superstition at best.

But, mix it up with a little “revival” and put the Christian tag above it, and suddenly there’ll be Christians who will believe this nonsense. Just watch how the man is struggling to constrain himself and trying to come up with something credible as he goes along. This incident never actually happened, of course, if you can catch how much hesitation and fabrication there is in his account.

For those who have attended the service at City Harvest Church where Che Ahn was the guest pastor, please re-examine what you have heard, seen and perhaps believe. This man is a liar and a false prophet, and I hope some of you will take the time to ask the church management why they decided to bring in such heresy.

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

God help us!

According to this report at Charisma Magazine, “Christian” leaders like Che Ahn, Bill Johnson, John Arnott, and Rick Joyner recently laid hands on Todd Bentley to commission him as an evangelist in a special ceremony beamed “live” to television sets in millions of homes by God TV.

In a read statement, Peter Wagner, leader of the International Coalition of Apostles, espoused the need for “apostolic alignment”.

Now, I don’t know what in the world “apostolic alignment” is, so don’t ask me.
