Her's some nostalgia for you - Rev. Ike in action:

I didn’t watch all of these. Some I know from heart, including one not mentioned, Jim Bakker.
The Tattoo preacher, because she’s a lesbian she is violating God’s word.
However, the Drunken Glory guys, especially Louder, I get where they’re coming from. It seems to be a new form of speaking in tongues.
While it’s not my cup of tea, they seem to be honestly getting people clean and “sober” and bringing them to Jesus Christ.
Sitting in a Church, that during Sunday service looks like a giant Whack-a-Mole game, and people yelling “Praise Jesus”, isn’t my cup of tea either, but I can’t say those people are more or less Christian than I.
We as Christians are cautioned about judging others. I have personally witnessed 2 major discussions in the last week about the relationship between God and science, and both sides of the discussion presented Bible passages that support their argument. Is one right, and the other wrong. I don’t think so, and here’s why.
The path to find God for each of us is different. The destination is the same even if the journey is different. It is said that God lives within all of us, well all of us are different souls. I believe God speaks to us in a language only we can understand. What God says to me in response to my prayers is meant for me as an individual. My interpretation of the Bible is what God tells me it is while I’m reading it. I believe for me to say that my understanding of God’s word is the only correct one is the height of blasphemy. The true miracle of God’s word is that billions of people have found their way to His love through one book.
As long as the folks at “Drunken Glory” are bringing people to Jesus, following God’s Commandments (I saw no evidence in the video that they aren’t), then who am I to say their form of worship is better or worse than mine.
Everybody give me a minute to slip on my asbestos undies before you start hurling fireballs. :)
The two ‘Episcopalian’ perverts have not the foggiest notion of what the Church Age is, what being born from above is, what the Bible actually says and repeats over and over, not what their broad road is leading to. They are bound for Hell and care not a whit that they are wooing poor deluded people with them. They serve the evil one and have not a clue whom is their father, the father of lies a murderer from the start. They are why I am no longer a ‘practicing Episcopalian. It is astonishing to see how that ekklesia has fallen to evil in just thirty years.
Earnest Angelee. I have a funny/tragic story about old Earnest. In my Bible study class I had an electrician who was called on an emergency visit to a Hotel in Birmingham, AL. Seems the static ‘bug zapper’ Earnest was using to ‘slay them in the spirit’ malfunctioned and it was shocking him too! He had to have that fixed pronto! What a fraud, wig and whiny voice and all.
Here's one by him, and one by Jimmy:
You’re right.
I lost a little belief in Blanton when he was talking about money, but then I had to remember that girl was there to do a hit piece on him.
She came in with a preconceived hatred for Christianity. You could hear it in her voice at the beginning of the video.
She seemed to soften a little at the end.
I especially liked Ted Garrett’s version of “This Stranger of Galilee.”
John 2
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
2 Peter
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
The thieves in the temple sold merchandise and made money, they were not preachers, they were merchants.
It is so called preachers to day who are using you to make money, making merchandise of you.
John 10
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12 But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:
One thing any believer needs to ask themselves, did Jesus or any of his apostles get rich from the gospel?
How many of them got to be millionaires by selling books?
Not saying a Christian can not become a millionaire, just saying quit buying their books.
Here's a version of that one on youtube:
Good point. They might write a book called "How To Get Rich", which says that the way to get rich is to sell a lot of copies of a book called "How To Get Rich". If nobody buys it, they won't get rich off of it.
I lived on suth side of St Petersburg back then. His peopoe wouldleave fancy brochures on all the dooknobs in the neighborhood explaining how God wants to be Rich and showing pictures of Ike with generous amounts of really flashy jewelry and that Rolls.
If nobody buys it, they won’t get rich off of it.
Thank you. That is where I first saw it too. If I remember right, I just stumbled onto it. I may have been looking for Dale Evans' version of it, and found Garrett's.
