How about some discernment then? God is a God of order. How does this build the body of Christ?

Most of my personal jury is still out on Benny.

God has historically used very strange people and often in very strange ways.

God is interested in focusing the glory on his power. The strangeness attracts a certain measure of attention.

Benny's excesses are easily seen as at least that.

The fact remains . . . quite a number of people do get healed and certainly a number get blessed by an intensified contact with God's Spirit. Compared to that, all the rest is chaff.

Personally, if I'd been God, I'd have kept interviewing. But who am I to say that. I'm a bird of rare plumage myself. Lots of folks think I'm at least in the direction of being about as off the wall as Benny.

I've tended to find it wise to "let" God be God. He will do things His way anyway.

AND HE WILL NEVER FIT IN ANY OF OUR TIDY LITTLE BOXES.

To God be the glory is the bottom line.

imho.

And, with Benny, lots of folks go seeking something from God. Lots of folks receive substantively from God. The rest is chaff.
