"Bentley has been criticized for making extravagant claims of miraculous healing and even claimed dozens of people in various locations have been raised from the dead as a result of prayers offered at the Lakeland revival."

Young people were drawn by Bentley’s unorthodox appearance — with tattoos, piercings and a goatee — which resembles a biker rather than a buttoned-down televangelist.

oh, yeah. the ministry gets hip....

It’s a bad year to be married to a pentacostal. First Paula White now this guy.

Pentecostals and evangelicals historically have frowned on divorce, citing scriptural prohibitions. Ministers who were divorced usually had to give up their careers, but there have been some notable exceptions in recent years and attitudes appear to be changing.

So much for Christ's teachings in Mark 10 regarding marriage and divorce:

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

SAY IT ISN”T SO!!! First Paula White, and then the whole Vicky Osteen thing.

My faith is shattered!

I suspect he will tell us the Holy Spirit told him it was OK...
