I think PA cited videos that could be found to prove his points though he didn’t supply any links. He has not been the first to make such claims against the Hillsong people.

Yeah, it’s not the videos that bug me, it’s saying thinks like the following as if folks are propagating a lie:

“They believe these self-appointed apostles have the power to raise the dead, heal the sick, and do other miracles.”

I don’t know about “self-appointed”; that’d need a cite, but no lesser Authority than Jesus, Himself said:

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do HE WILL DO ALSO; and GREATER WORKS THAN THESE HE WILL DO, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
— John 14:12-14, NKJV

Jesus said it’d be true, so why’s anybody griping that folks in the present day believe Him? And if those works mark the ministry of an apostle, shouldn’t we acknowledge that those who do them are doing apostolic works, and walking in apostolic authority?

Yeah, some pretty big sandals are in the Apostolic Hall of Fame; just because those sandals are too big for most of today’s ministers who touch apostolic authority, is our only possible conclusion that there are no apostles?

Are we to say there are NO NFL Quarterbacks since nobody playing now beats the stats of Joe Montana?

Are there NO Shooting Guards in the NBA today since none compare to Michael Jordan?

Are there NO Pitchers in Major League Baseball seeing as there’s none can compare to Nolan Ryan?

It’d be idiotic drivel to say anything like that, but we say it about apostles in the church all the time. We’d be really smart to shut up.
