Thank you for mentioning the part about studying the Word, I forgot to type that part!!!!

Karie, I would add only this to Deb’s excellent exhortation. Get into the Word of God. First, be sure of your salvation which is the bedrock and the foundation. You need to be assured of that. Then build upon that. Start fresh in the Word of God and ignore all the false teaching and Scripture twistin you have previously been under. God’s Word + prayer are all you need right now. Listen to only His voice until you have purged yourself from this error. Seek Him with all your heart and He will refresh you with the Truth.

>> …….. and I do need prayer still for healing and believing this false annointing.

Why don’t you just pray to Jesus Christ directly? :) No you don’t need prayer. YOU are the one who needs to do the praying and asking Jesus for forgiveness for following false teaching. Forget about other men, why go to men when you have direct line to JESUS CHRIST. This is the fallicy of this 5 fold ministry rubbish. They want to drive a wedge between you and Jesus Christ by placing another man/woman there. NO NO NO NO NO NO! You want healing Karie, go to Jesus directly, you want deliverance from this false anointing, go to Jesus Christ directly and ask Him for forgiveness for all your sins (make a list of all the thing you did at this church that were unbiblical). Ask Jesus to remove them from you one by one. Ask Jesus to open your eyes to the truth, and let His Holy Spirit be your ONLY councellor.

Any more questions just come ask the one who has been there, done that; got a goodie bag worth of stuff to prove it. All you need is Jesus Christ and yourself in the equation. Nothing else.

I was decieved and loved it until I felt God loved me enough only to show up at Bethel or IHop river church places. Lots of wonderful people and I love people. Lets be honest, I love being loved.
I fell head long but was not shaking, jerking uncontrolably or barking lot a dog. I think the signs to watch out for are the manifestation of some kind of spirit that is spreading through these churches with power. It is so hard for me still to stay away as I loved the worship and dance. Bethel is so friendly and I believe others like myself are truely seeking the Lord. I just never gave much thought about the Apostate Church and the great falling away. Even the elect like myself will be decieved! I have started going to Bible Study Fellowship and now afraid to let anyone lay hands on me. Todd Bentley is here in our area this week and I do need prayer still for healing and believing this false annointing. I should not have read the testimones from the IHOP as I just feel drawn in and love it (all the excitement. Yes we love it and want to feel Good and need God so bad we are desperate. Look up Kundalini Warning.

Christ wasn’t kidding when he said narrow is the gate that leadth to salvation .

I have not read your article yet. I will get around too it asap. I’m having electricity problems, so I’ve hardly been online – verrryyyyyyyyyyy annoyning.

Deborah,

Yes, you are correct re: Copeland as this is the WoF belief; however, Johnson’s Christology and theology surrounding this may be a bit different. I recognize that hyper-charismatism has some WoF characteristics; however, there are other differences.

Hi Craig

Yes I remember :) Thanks for the link. Does not Kenneth Copeland believe the same thing? That Jesus was born again?

Oh I’ve got this monthly article called Bob’s News Desk where you can go and post a comment with links of your articles: http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2010/09/02/news-desk-by-bobs-your-anchor-september-2010-2/

Deborah,

You may remember me from Miriam’s site as I posted under “Lee” initially (my middle name), then “Craig” and for a time “Craig Lee.” In any case, I started a new blog with the impetus a recent YouTube video of Bill Johnson claiming Jesus was ‘born again.’ I bought one of his books and bit by bit deduced his Christology. I wasn’t sure where to post this; but, Johnson is pushing an “anointing” of the ‘Holy Spirit’ rather than Christ as IHOP is doing. So, I thought it could fit here.

Here’s the link:

Grant, thank you for the excellent exhortations. You hit the proverbial nail on the head. I hope that Chris takes it to heart. The delusion is astounding. And El Marie, thanks for heading that link off at the pass. One can’t be too careful these days.
