1 | Any scriptures on slain in spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | John Reformed | 50275 | ||
Dear Enriched, I was a member of a pentacotal church for over 10 years. I witnessed many hundreds of people "slain in the Spirit" during that time. I believed it was the work of God because I was told that it was the work of God. The Pastors, the elders, the people, everyone said it was the work of God. Occasionally verses were offered as proof of it's being scriptual. I remember having doubts as to how these verses proved anything close to modern day falling backwards under the power, but I put my concerns aside. After all, who was I to question those who were much more holy and learned than me? Big Mistake! Now I question everything that does not seem right. The Bible is the only sure truth that we have. If a doctrine of any church cannot be clearly supported by God's Word, I cannot, indeed must not recieve it. Did the Apostles employ catchers? Benny Hinn does. Pehaps, after a woman was killed at one of his meetings (a heavy woman fell over backwards onto her), he decided it may be a good idea (Documented in Counterfiet Revival by Hank Hanegraaf). You can search til TV preachers stop asking for money, but you will not find Biblical support for this modern day phenomenon. Hope I have helped. John |

Dear Enriched: Praise theLord fro John! I encourage you to get Hank Hanegraaf's book Counterfit Revival. He alos has equip.org one of the best apologitics web site out there. Hank deals directly with Paul Chroch, Benny Hinn, Ken Copland, Kenneth Haggen,, Jihn Hagge, and many others that have left 0rthordox Christianity. These false teachers have taken so many ignorant unlearned baby christians captive it is shamefull. You see people want signs, and wonders, not study and prayer. Today anything that gets people excited draws a croud. Benny Hinn even says Jesus has been on stage with him! What blaspheme! Please remember the Holy Spirit will guide you, but you must be in tune with the Word, and under a solid teacher of the Word. There will come a day when Benny Hinn and Paul Crouch of PTL will have to give their life of fine automobiles, and luxury life styles. T hen the Lord may very well say I never knew you! Remember A.A. Allem, Jimmy Swaggert, Jim and Tammy Baker? all worshipped sex, money and riches and what made then feel bigger than anyone else. Ever hear of Paul Stade? He gave many years up with his children and wife to serve in Bolivia. Why because He was known by God and God Knew him. Love is action, noy just talk. Signs and wonders I have see few. Love and kindness I have seeen overflow from the poorest people you could ever imagine. They shared the food with me, they showed me I was a not saved, but just had head knowledge of Christ. I learned from the poorest people on earth what saving faith in Christ was! That was 20 years ago. I had to travel to Bolivia to find my Lord! Oh how loving and mercyfull Jesus is to me. agape, justme |
