Why would anyone follow a Shepard

“supposed miracles by kicking and punching people.”

Reminds me of Benny Hinn touching people on their forehead and “healing” them. At least no bruising there.

This whole “charismatic industry” would be a great joke if not for the damage and pain it inflicts...in the name of...you know.

There are some decent people among them, but televangelists are the face and voice of Christianity for millions of unchurched people, and too many of them are frauds, proponents of deeply flawed “prosperity” and “self-help” theology, or simply goofy. Or some combination of the above.

They have an odd notion of what “restoration” means.

If a pastor commits a notorious sin, he can of course be forgiven and “restored” to the body. But he takes his place in the pews. Not behind the pulpit.

I can think of ways a pastor could be restored to the pulpit, but simply announcing yourself “restored” isn’t it. Most of that sounds phony. Real repentance and restoration will be fairly apparent, but you’ll likely have to get a day job like everyone else.

My friend and I at the time of the ‘Lakeland Revival’ went to it, rode our bikes from PA to FLA and checked into a motel, then went to the ‘big tent’ where all this was happening...

We walked in, found two chairs and the procession started, I immediately jumped up the minute this ‘phony’ was introduced and went out side, my friend came out and asked me what was wrong so I told him: “That man is a fake, I have more of God in me than he does and I'm not going back in”...the hair was standing straight up on my arms and I felt like I couldn't breathe...

We got on our bikes and left, checked out of the motel, the manager was quite surprised and gave us our money back, we rode for a couple of hours and went into a diner and ate, we rode all night back home...

A few weeks later we heard on God T.V. that Todd Bentley was kicked out of Lakeland and his church out of Canada and his wife left him...

This is the first I have heard about the ‘phony’ since then and this does not surprise me in the least...he is a man of Satan and should be dismissed by everyone who he crosses paths with...

Oh wow, a homosexual predator in a Protestant church.

That’s a change from the usual priests.

Best read and video going is this by Andrew Strom.

He is a Pentecostal pastor who has been warning about this new NAR/Word of Faith movement for years. His book is excellent and covers basically the same material, but the video has the advantage of showing actual clips of the behavior.

Kundalini Warning - Are False Spirits Invading the Church? Parts 1-3

I bought the book and read it myself. It’s excellent.

The article says he claims he raised people from the dead. If he has indeed claimed that, there’s no reason to take him seriously. Anyone who did take him seriously did so at their peril.

Never heard of him. Was he really ever as big as they are trying to tell us he was?
