Here is another good article on false prophets: http://thecripplegate.com/strange-fire-modern-prophecy/ Nathan Buesenitz gives the following tests for those claiming to be prophets: 1. Doctrinal orthodoxy: Because God is a God of truth, those who truly prophecy on His behalf proclaim doctrines that are right and true. (Deuteronomy 13:1–5; 2 Peter 2:1) 2. Moral integrity: God's true prophets are those who not only proclaim His truth, they also live out His truth. (Jeremiah 23:14-16; Matthew 7:20, 2 Peter 2:2-3) 3. Predictive accuracy: Because God knows the end from the beginning, a true prophet declares divine revelation regarding the future with 100 percent accuracy. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22; Jeremiah 28:9; Ezekiel 13:3-9) Buesenitz gives a number of modern day examples of false prophets. This is a very helpful article. Learn the Word and you will not be led astray. |

Doc: I watched Strange Fire different speakers on You tube. After watching the speakers, and I watch John MacArthur, and record his messages. If fact My wife and I had considered going to His college, but we could not arrange our finances to afford it. We bought STRANGE FIRE, and I had to re-read portions several times. However, I doubt any genuine mature Christian could disagree with the examples MacArthur presented of greedy hypocrites. Some being as glaring examples like Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, and those who run Trinity Broadcasting Network. These are glaring examples, the ones who just slip under being noticed are my personal concern. There are those who connect themselves with helping the suffering Jews, and mix Jewish and Christian Theology and using verses from the Old Testament as if to give proof the Jews will also be given a second chance and therefore we should consider the Jewish people as brothers, and we Christians must give this Jewish Christian money to feed these poor people. The overhead, some groups have must be checked out before being involved. Not only these groups but when the money the people running any charity get is more that about ten percent and salaries are clearly outrageous, it's a sham. There are Ministries like Dr. Charles Stanley's that are clearly ministry. There are a good number like Dr. Stanley. As long as our church home is not suffering because we neglect proper Biblical giving to it first. Every false ministry is centered around money, becoming wealthy. that and being held in high respect by titles like Prophet, Cardinal, Father, The Very Reverend so and so, all these are titles misused to gain forced respect, and to command a large income. How many genuine Pastors income is so small, and often Pastors are Bi Vocational, and there is no such thing as a part time pastor. But often the general public thinks the Pastor gets all the offering on Sunday. I know this as I served four churches as Bi Vocational. What is sad is he honest, loving, hard working Pastor's who serve with great love, seldom get brought out into the general public's eye. Because these false teachers, and phony preachers get most all of the attention. STRANGE FIRE gives due attention for most Christians and non Christians to be alert to some serious counterfeit so called Christians. To be honest I have not cone to the total agreement with some of his conclusions, in exemption of some people as genuine Christians, that may be stepping out to far. Justme |

Justme I agree and I think you will also agree that most of these abuses are seen in other denominations and not just in the Pentecostal arena. I will admit an inordinately high number do occur in people that hold to the Pentecostal theology but I believe that is because so many so called Pentecostal churches are independent and refuse to accept any type of correction. Again I'm of the opinion it is caused by money loving false teachers but it is perpetuated by people that are seeking supernatural manifestations instead of seeking God. We all know this is wrong. But it is equally wrong to ascribe this type of behavior to all Pentecostal/Charismatics as the strange fire conference seemed to do. There was very little I disagreed with that was said at the conference as many are guilty of exactly what was charged. What I disagree with was the implication that all Pentecostals and Charismatics tolerate those |
