There’s a real problem of people not applying test of Scirpture to claimed prophesying, etc.

These days, all someone has to do is say *God told me* or *Thus sayeth the Lord,....* and God alone can help you if you question what they say.

They are aghast and ask, *How can you dare to question God? (Or *Touch not the Lord’s anointed*).

Well, I’m not questioning God.

I’m questioning YOU and what you are saying is from God.

There's some about taking the Lord's name in vain...

I haven't read Michael Brown's book that he mentions at the end of the article, but I'm very curious to see what he has to say on the matter.

I've written extensively on it myself on my blog, and after trying to figure out how to sum it up for everyone, I just decided to post links to 5 of my past blogs that take a hard look at where and why the Pentecostal movement is going wrong.

So here are my thoughts in response:

Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing

Children of the Blasphemers, Part 3 (Strange Fire)

The Throne of God, Part 5 (on Ezekiel chapters 8-9)

Cleansing the Temple

The Order of Salvation
