In due time--when the group of KC prophets (...and again the Toronto airport renewal...) --began exalting spiritual experience over sound doctrine and refused the correction gently offered by the recognized elders & leaders, there were (Biblical) partings of the ways.
God blessed John's devotion to ministry and faithfulness to His Word with many verified healings and powerful works of the Holy Spirit.
Furthermore, John Wimber personally led many people to personal salvation in Christ -- usually one at a time-- before any of his detractors even knew his name.
I recommend the pastor/author check his church and movement history carefully before painting the memory of Godly men with such a broad brush.
Romans 14:4 might contain a word of wisdom.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
I met Wimber personally 1:1 in Taipei.
He’s the real deal.
He’s one of the most humble, most authentic, most balanced, most practical most Biblically accurate Bible teachers and Pastors I’ve ever known or known of.
I’ve heard that Billy Graham speaks in tongues privately. If so, his theology may be in the ball park of the standard I observed in John Wimber. Otherwise, John is head and shoulders above Billy Graham, in my book.
There are a couple of books out now by his wife and his daughter. They are well worth reading.

And Kris Vallotton of Bethel’s HEAVY RAIN: RENEW THE CHURCH—Transform The World

are GREAT, Biblical, edifying, practical
& his SPIRIT WARS looks good but I haven’t read it yet.
If folks followed any of us around 24/7 and published even 20% of what we said every day . . . we’d all be in trouble with big groups of people, detractors, professional rock throwers.
