  • Expect No Global Revival
    Expect no global revival Introduction One of the major constituents of radical Charismatic theology 1 is the hope of a coming global revival. Different heretical groups have different expectations of this revival. Latter Rain inspired Charismatics teach all sorts of absurdities; such as that Spirit-filled believers will be invulnerable to bullets, able to fly and able to pass through walls, plus many more idiocies. Others emphasise that apostles and prophets will rule the world. Some blasphemously aver that the church will become so powerful in dominating all nations that the earth will be purged of all sin, creation will be redeemed, the earth restored and Jesus need not return. Still others expect a more subdued historical form of revival where the characteristics of revivals in church history (sinners saved in large numbers, backsliders returning in faith, an influence on society for good etc.) occupy the whole world, unlike the localised revivals of history. These various hopes have fuelled all sorts of errors and aberrations which people adopted thinking that they presaged a coming revival. Anything that seemed to imply some sort of powerful move in the church was endorsed and pursued, even if it was bogus or demonic. All Satan had to do was get some deluded church leader to be tempted to pursue a form of mysticism or occult manipulation that resulted in odd phenomena and hordes of church people celebrated it constantly, making a movement out of it. The biggest example of this was the Toronto Blessing; which was nothing but a mixture of mysticism, created by inducing passivity, plus the excesses of a type of demonic inspired Kundalini yoga.

  • Lonnie Frisbee
    Lonnie Frisbee The problem of Charismatic hypocrisy Introduction We have seen it so many times: AA Allen drunk and stupefied in a hotel room the night before he preaches in a ‘revival’. Paul Cain, a practising homosexual and alcoholic during the height of his fame in the Signs and Wonders Movement heyday. Bob Jones guilty of sexual abuse and fornication at the height of the Kansas City Prophets fiasco. Todd Bentley, guilty of adultery and violence at the height of the ‘Lakeland Revival’. Yet all these were (and, by many, still are) admired as great prophets in Charismatic / Pentecostal circles. Lonnie Frisbee is the archetypical example of this kind of charade but he was more powerful than all of them. Though unknown to most evangelicals, he was a founding ‘prophet’ of the early Charismatic Movement, the face of the Jesus Movement revival, the instigator of the Signs and Wonders Movement and the catalyst for the initial growth of both Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapel and Wimber’s Vineyard churches. As such he deserves some attention. Despite being highly significant in the development of so many Charismatic institutions, he has been carefully edited out of Charismatic history and the records of both Calvary Chapel churches and the Vineyard Movement. My edition (1988) of the Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements has no dedicated article on him, neither is Frisbee mentioned in the articles on ‘Calvary Chapel’ or ‘Vineyard Churches’. The great problem with Frisbee was that, despite his massive success in evangelism and church planting, and despite his dramatic power in Charismatic gifts, Frisbee was not only a practising homosexual at the time, but he was also very influenced by the occult.

  • Esp Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time False Apostles and the Case of Todd Bentley Scripture: Matthew 1
    Grace to You :: esp Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time False Apostles and the Case of Todd Bentley Scripture: Matthew 12:43–45 Code: B131120 The self-professing modern apostles of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) would have you believe they have the most direct line of communication with God. But their faulty track record—even on matters of simple biblical discernment—gives you good reason to wonder if they’re perpetually dialing the wrong number. Perhaps the most vivid example of the NAR’s frightening lack of discernment was their handling of notorious heretic Todd Bentley. Instead of warning people about the danger Bentley presented, the apostolic elite decided to affirm and anoint him as one of their own. Far from identifying the good reasons for caution and concern about his teaching, the leading modern apostles went out of their way to place their stamp of approval on this obvious charlatan. Bentley, a Canadian evangelist, rose to worldwide prominence in 2008 during a series of “revival” meetings in Lakeland, Florida. Originally scheduled to speak for just a few days, Bentley wound up staying for several months, claiming that a new outpouring of the Spirit was taking place. The meetings were full of bizarre healings and manifestations—not the least of which was Bentley’s penchant for kicking and punching sick people who requested prayer. Bentley seemed to go out of his way to cultivate a hard, tough-guy persona. The Lakeland revival generated a large amount of Christian-media attention and attracted enormous crowds from all over the world.

  • Haddington House Journal 11
    South Africa’s Great Revival of 1860 William Lindner, Jr.* * Dr. Bill Lindner is the author of Andrew Murray and John Calvin in the Men of Faith Series (Bethany). He is a graduate of Davidson College, Union Seminary (Virginia) and Gordon-Conwell, has a special interest and passion for biblical revival and did his D.Min. dissertation on Andrew Murray. He is an ordained Evangelical Presbyterian minister and served in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, for fourteen years. Presently he and his wife, Mary Lynn, live in Asheville, North Carolina. They have three grown children. The year was 1860. The place Worcester, South Africa. Andrew Murray had been installed as pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church there on Pentecost Sunday, May 27, preaching from the text of 2 Corinthians 3:8 – ―Will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?‖ Looking back, it seems almost oddly prophetic. Just a few months later the Great Revival of 1860 would begin in South Africa, with concurrent expressions around most of the English speaking world. At the moment of its beginning in Worcester, J. C. deVries was a layman leading a meeting of the church‘s youth. Years later, as a Dutch Reformed pastor, he would write this eye-witness account: On a certain Sunday evening there were gathered in a little hall some sixty young people. I was leader of the meeting, which commenced with a hymn and a lesson from God‘s Word, after which I engaged in a prayer. After three or four others had (as was customary) given out a verse of a hymn and offered prayer, a coloured girl of about fifteen years of age, in service with a farmer from Hex River, rose at the back of the hall, and asked if she too might propose a hymn.

  • The Florida 'Outpouring' Revival
    PentecoStudies, vol. 8, no. 1, 2009, p. 37–57 Stephen Hunt, The Florida ‘Outpouring’ Revival ISSN 1871-777691 The Florida ‘Outpouring’ Revival A Melting Pot for Contemporary Pentecostal Prophecy and Eschatology? Stephen Hunt University of the West of England A decade after the neo-Pentecostal revivals of the 1990s a fresh wave of revival, characterised by miraculous healings and evangelism, became identified with what was colloquially referred to as the ‘Florida Outpouring’. Unlike the earlier so-called Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville revivals, that at Lakeland, Florida, was relatively short-lived. It became practically synonymous with the charismatic personality of the healing evangelist, Todd Bentley. This paper considers the Florida ‘Outpouring’ and Bentley’s prophetic role in forging revivalism within the framework of neo-Pentecostal eschatology and thus providing a sense of continuity with past and future revivals. Pentecostalism has proved to be a multi-faceted and rapidly evolving Christian movement leading to the speculation that it now consists of numerous ‘Pentecostalisms’ (Robeck 1999). Nevertheless, certain core characteristics remain discernible among the movement’s various ‘streams’. This includes, as a universal mark of both ‘classical’ Pentecostalism and the latter-day neo-Pentecostals (charismatics), the enduring hope of a global revival and the mass conversion of unbelievers before Christ’s Second Coming. This hope was encapsulated throughout the 1990s – a decade which saw a series of revivals breaking out in North America that proved to have global significance, each carrying a notable eschatological narrative. Perhaps the most noteworthy was the well-known revival in Toronto, Canada, which became associated with the so-called ‘Toronto Blessing’ with its controversial range of ecstatic and esoteric manifestations typified by ‘holy laughter’.

LIARS AND PERJURERS IN REVIVAL http://www.scribd.com/doc/33780391/ Pastor Karl Strader stole Carpenter's Home Church and used the proceeds to finance Stephen's ignited Church! Todd Bentley lied and told everybody that God said He would give a 1,000 fold return for every donation using Benny Hinn’s thieving method!

Mind you Rodney Howard Brown the fleecer spoke against the revival as well as Benny Hinn because they didn’t like competition! And of course these fools and deceivers demonize their critics but Jesus Christ told us the truth: MT 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 7:17 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 7:18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 7:19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

  • Todd Bentley-Lakeland Revival Reviewed
    Reviewing the ministry of Tod Bentley and the Lakeland Revival Dr Andrew Corbett, May 30th 2008 It was C.S. Lewis who said – “You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.” Human experience tends to confirm Lewis’s assessment. We are spiritual beings who are intuitively supernatural. Atheists object to this assessment though. They assert that there is nothing supernatural and that the uninformed are not being spiritual but rather “superstitious”. But when Christians who claim to be spiritual behave superstitiously and call it “revival”, we have to think that's an odd Gospel, or perhaps a “Todd Gospel”... The Todd Gospel is the gospel of Todd Bentley. While there are heresy-hunters who poo-poo anything Charismatic or Pentecostal, like Toronto or Pensacola, what is happening in Lakeland, Florida deserves a more rigorous treatment than that done by these cynics. While the ministry of Todd Bentley bears some similarities to previous Pentecostal/Charismatic “outpourings”, it is fundamentally different. Todd Bentley’s message is also radically different from other “revival” leaders. 1 © Dr Andrew Corbett Finding Truth Matters www.findingtruthmatters.org Reviewing the ministry of Tod Bentley and the Lakeland Revival I live Tasmania. This is about as far away from Lakeland, Florida, as anywhere in the world! Yet nearly everyday someone contacts me either to share their opinion (or to seek mine) about Todd Bentley’s ministry! Therefore, in reviewing his ministry I am susceptible to the criticism that I have not visited his Lakeland meetings, but due to the village-nature of the modern world (thanks to satellites and digital media) it is perhaps easier than ever before to be well informed about trends within Christendom happening anywhere in the world.

  • Old Evangelism Cover.Cdr
    “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE OLD EVANGELICALISM?” By Mr Francis J. Harris Published by A Protestant Biblical Witness PO Box 6526 Leamington Spa CV31 9NL Email: [email protected] Web: www.christianwatch.org.uk Introduction “We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.” Ps.44: 1 It has always been one of the blessed methods of the Holy Spirit to instruct the succeeding generations of His Church, by the witness of those who lived and experienced His acts in their own days. Not only is such a testimony a cause for praise, but where the Church has declined in zeal and faithfulness, it may be a means of revival and recovery. “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen…”. In an address, given on 17th March, 2012 at the South-West Ministers’ Fraternal at Beacon Park Baptist Church, Plymouth, Mr Francis ‘Mick’ Harris recounted the vital spirituality of Christian believers in the 1950’s, compared with the spiritual desolations and howling wasteland now seen in most of the churches today, and, in so doing, has done faithful service to the cause of Christ in the world. As the title suggests, he contrasts the vapid form of ‘New Evangelicalism’ of today with the solid ‘Old Evangelicalism’ of yesteryear, viz. his own generation. While not suggesting that all that was done then in worship was as one might have wished, this address seeks to show the remarkable drift that has occurred from a relatively God-fearing, doctrinally sound Church, that held to a providentially preserved Bible, to one which has, in practice, generally removed “the ancient landmark” and left the “old paths” given to us by the Lord of the Church in Holy Scripture.

  • Statement About Todd Bentley by Sid Roth, from “It’S Supernatural!”
    Statement About Todd Bentley By Sid Roth, From “It’s Supernatural!” Dear Mishpochah, King Solomon said, “There is no new thing under the sun” (Eccl. 1:9). In the late 1940s, hundreds of tent evangelists were raised up by God with great miracle ministries. They had true gifts, but many lacked character. Many fell into sin. Yet the miracles continued. How could this be? Paul says, “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom. 11:29). In other words, once God gives a supernatural gift, He doesn’t take it away. The devil thought in the 1940s that if he could discredit the evangelists, he could discredit the miracles. By now many of you know that Todd Bentley, the leader of the Lakeland, Florida revival, has stepped down from ministry due to an “unhealthy relationship” with a female staff member. The Lakeland Revival was a genuine move of God. I believe it was meant to usher in the end- time healing revival. I attended several meetings at the revival. I saw many people report they were physically healed. I personally did an investigation and interviewed a young girl who received a great miracle in one of the meetings. When we aired my interview with Todd on our television program, we received many reports from people who were healed as they watched. (For the sake of integrity, we have removed Todd’s TV and radio interviews from our website archives.) I witnessed many people who repented of sin. And with the vast television audience that watched the Lakeland Revival, I believe many were saved and many backsliders became red-hot for Jesus.

    Chapter 5: The Religious Right from The Air We Breath: Sociology of Religion by George Sanders and Josh Packard | 9781465287519 | 2016 Copyright Property of Kendall Hunt Publishing CHAPTER 5 THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT Why do conservative religious voices, which make a minority of the religious population, get so much of the attention in our culture? KEY TERMS • American exceptionalism • Biblical inerrancy • Complementarianism • Dispensationalism • Neoliberalism OBJECTIVES: • Understand the similarities and differences between Evangelical Christianity and Christian Fundamentalism, as well as how they are connected to the religious right. • Understand the key role that religion has played, and continues to play, in American politics, and how this affects the general public. • Understand how the religious right uses conservative ideology to implement their religious beliefs into politics and, thus, the everyday life of all Americans. INTRODUCTION As we have read in other chapters, religion as an institution can never be understood in isolation from other social institutions. The messiness and complexity of the real world mean that religion both impacts how other institu- tions, such as the family, and the economy work and, as we have seen, is impacted by these institutions. How is reli- gion shaped? At different points in history, the importance we place on religious ideas, the importance of particular religions, the ways in which we interpret sacred texts and make use of them, the significance of special rituals . all of these things have changed from time to time and from culture to culture. Thus, we know that not only religion contributes to how we act and view the world around us, but the world outside of religion also contributes to how we act and view our own religion.

GOD’S GLASS CEILING: WOMEN’S EDUCATION IN CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by MELISSA GRAVES August 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Melissa Graves ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Fundamentalists have historically held complex relationships with education and with women. This thesis examines the intersection of the three topics through a case study approach by looking at the education of women at fundamentalist institutions Bob Jones University, Liberty University, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Historically, fundamentalists have expressed great suspicion towards education and intellectualism. Fundamentalists insisted on a literal interpretation of the Bible. Moreover, they created fundamentalist universities and colleges so that parents could send their sons and daughters away to school without worrying that their children would abandon their faith. This thesis argues that fundamentalist schools approach the education of women in ways that are rife with paradox.
