In news that surprises few who have followed the sheer depravity of this man both violent and sexual this will not be a big surprise, but it is news. Todd Bentley is a major charismatic prophet with the New Apostolic Reformation and has a colossal ministry (especially overseas). Hes also famous from cheating on his wife during the entirety of the famous Lakeland Revival and doing supposed miracles by kicking and punching people. After his fall from grace due to his substance abuse and extramarital affairs, he was restored to ministry by the biggest names in Charismatic evangelicalism.
Todd Bentley is the hyper-charismatic faith healer who claims to have raised multiple people from the dead and claims he heals people, yet with zero evidence of such healings. He has been involved in sex scandals as long as hes been known in the charismatic world who fell from ministry and was subsequently restored by Rick Joyner.
A man closely involved in Bentleys ministry by the name of Stephen Powell has come forward with allegations of homosexual activity and sexual abuse at the hands of Todd Bentley. If these allegations are true, and Todd Bentley has been acting sexually inappropriate with underage teens, then the authorities should be involved in this.

There you go.
Well gee, afvet. What’s so offensive about the Word of God that you have to call the use of it, and I quote, “profane, blasphemous, impious, sinful, irreverent, irreligious, godless, ungodly, unholy, and disrespectful”?
Is it because of the fictional frog? Are you planning to start complaining about Veggie Tales and all the other cartoons and fictions that teach using the Word of God?
What a bizarre complaint.
Do you hate the movie The Passion of the Christ too for the same reasons?
Oh my, it seems that you touched a nerve.
I find it funny that they complain about a fictional frog instead of actually address the statements.
It’s almost like they can’t argue the Scripture and so have to get offended about something totally irrelevant.
‘They’ will not allow the Truth to enter into their minds lest they awaken and come out of the paganized religion of Catholicism. Looks like a conscience got pricked, eh?
That's why we WILL be included into the one, true, general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, when we place our faith in Jesus Christ, the one mediator between mankind and God, who cleanses us and makes us as righteous as He is by His precious shed blood and not by our works so that no one may boast. The gates of hell - which are defensive only - can NEVER prevail against the gospel of grace which ALL believers are to preach to every creature.
Jesus warned us that there would be wolves among the sheep but that He knows His own and we know Him and hear His voice and follow ONLY Him. False teachers, unfortunately, are found in many places and we should be wary of them. We will know them by their fruits. Sounds like Mr. Bentley is one of the bad ones.
Almost comical coming from an adherent to a denomination that sanctions the wearing of a man-made piece of cloth from an apparition claiming it will keep you out of the eternal fire IF you do certain things.
Not one of which is supported by Scripture.
There is a huge difference between AMPU using the term imagine, which clearly illustrates this was just an example, verses the Roman Catholic almost dogmatic acceptance of the messages of the apparition.
Now, which one of these is really profaning God?
The one advocating another way of avoiding the eternal fire by wearing a man-made piece of cloth.
It's as clear as day.
Can't have that kinda stuff on FR!!!
Let me balance it out a bit...

I didnt have the heart to tell him it was a puppet...
I was attending services at a convenient Salvation Army temple some years ago. One day the captain who I guess was the lead pastor was sleeveless and had a large tatoo or two on his bare arms. While the services seemed ok that bothered me enough that I never returned. If it had been a someone in the pews with me I could have lived with that but I want the person who leads a congregation to actually lead and be on the straight and narrow path. I don’t expect perfection but he also has to be pointing to Jesus and not himself or the things of this world. Jesus said by their fruits we shall know if they are of him or not and we should be wary of deceivers and wolves in sheeps clothing.
Generally speaking The YBPDLN Ping List is published infrequently, however based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season.
Management will not ping members to every thread addressing megachurch pastors, but will tag articles of interest with the KEYWORD: YBPDLN.
If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.
*Your Best Purpose Driven Life Now
You mean like how Roman Catholicism has done with their version of Mary????
I repeat: What a bizarre complaint.
Are you going to complain about The Passion of the Christ? Godspell? Jesus Christ Superstar? It’s A Wonderful Life?
Of course, if the use of the Word of God is false, I’m SURE that you can prove it, and that this isn’t just a distraction from your inability to answer the arguments made in the initial post.
Hmmmmm..... This sounds bogus. I'd better call her and ask!
[☎️ RING.... RING... RING]
Kermit: Hello, Mary?
Mary: Well hello Kermit!
Kermit: I just read a whole list of titles people are calling you that I don't see in Scripture.
Mary: Oh, dear one! My heart is troubled with how they have made me into a demigoddess and idol!!😱
Kermit: So it's all made up?
Mary: Yes, green one.
Kermit: God never gave you nor called you those titles??
Mary: Never.
Kermit: Can I ask you another question Mary?
Mary: Certainly.
Kermit: Do you hear the prayers of billions of people??
Mary: No. It too is completely made up.
Kermit: I thought so, since it is never in Scripture - even the bogus books some include.
Mary: Pray to God alone.
Kermit: Thank you Mary!!
Mary: Blessings to you Kermit!
Kermit: Oh, wait!! Are you appearing around the world and promoting idolatry and a false gospel? Not promoting wearable idols either?
Mary: Of course not. God chose me to bear Messiah and I was blessed to do so. The Brown Scapular is a false idol. Those who wear it do so instead of trusting Christ alone for salvation. It is always He who saves and never me.
Kermit: And you are not appearing in tortilla chips, car reflections, or things like that?
Mary: No. Even the idols they make of me don't look like me at all. You'd think I only ever had one outfit!
Kermit: Thanks so much!
Mary: Thanks for calling!
Meant to ping you!
Time to prepare the outrageometer and see who they’re angrier about a frog puppet talking to.
Thank you so much Gamecock, you answered my question.
It is NOT clear to a dead soul not born again! After all, such souls believe and follow the demonic messages of apparitions and venerate signs and lying wonders.
