The legalists and doctrinal critics are out doing their thing. It’s best just to ignore them.

I watched some clips (I went to seminary at Asbury), and I didn’t see or hear anything out of line at all. It all seemed orderly and modest.

It struck me as if it were a praise service at a Christian festival with people seen in some places praying for each other and their needs.

As in Jesus’ and Paul the Apostle’s day, so today, the greatest enemy to the furtherance of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ is the established religious organizations.

In Jesus’ and Paul’s day, it was the Jews. Today the opposition is spearheaded by the established church organizations and helped along by ungodly secular organizations.

But God is greater than all and he will have a final end-time reawakening mainly among the Gentiles to save as many as possible from the wrath which is coming soon.

That is exactly what I thought too... Open hearts, honest hearts, contrite hearts = the moving of GOD HIMSELF

The Jesus Movement was pretty much a doctrinal smorgasbord. But the key elements were love for Jesus and a zeal to spread the Gospel.

This looks like that. Let’s pray that this thing spreads.

Co 11:18 First, I hear that there are divisions among you when you meet as a church, and to some extent I believe it.
1Co 11:19 But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!

Don’t disregard the discussion too quickly. You didn’t hear or see anything out of line. What would that exactly mean?

Did you hear Gods word?

If the “Holy Spirit” is not pointing to Gods Word (Jesus), it is NOT the Holy Spirit.
