Subject: I Have Not Sent Them |
Bible Note: Hi, EdB... I listened to the entire Strange Fire Conference (www.tmstrangefire.org). It included speakers such as R. C. Sproul, Steve Lawson, Conrad Mbewe, Tom Pennington, Phil Johnson, Joni Eareckson Tada, and others. I was actually surprised that they did not "lump every form of errant and false theology into the Charismatic/Pentecostal camp." Listen, for example, to Conrad Mbewe, who speaks about the horrific abuses occurring in the name of Christianity in Africa today. He explicitly asserts that he is distinguishing what is going on now from what he calls "traditional Pentecostalism." Tod Friel makes this careful differentiation as well. (To be honest, that surprised me, as my own tendency would have been to be much more sweeping.) However, when you witness the examples they are faulting, I do not think you will see anything with which the Assemblies of God might affirm, let alone identify. There's a whole new weirdness out there these days! By the way, I was looking at the ag.org website. I did not immediately see any papers on identifying false prophets. Would you please include a link here on the specific paper to which you were referring? I want to read it. If it has good stuff in it, I may also want to quote it in the forum. In Him, Doc |
