PENTECOSTALIS= M - 100 YEARS

 THE CREAM OF THE CROP

 

CHAPTER  1

 

        &= nbsp;       At the turn of the 20th century, Pentecostalism was born an infant church by the baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1906. One hundred years have elapsed since God sent that revival at 312 Azusa St., Los Angeles, California U.S.A. When God sent that revival, it shook the world, and Los Angeles, the city of angels, became very popular, around the world. However, they were not without persecutions from the rest of the unbelieving world. They were despised, hated and rejected, both by religious and non-religious people. Nevertheless, she waxed stronger and stronger each day. In one hundred year= s, she has grown into one of the greatest religious powers, and now ranks with= the greater denominational churches, established before her: Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodist, Baptist etc.

 

        &= nbsp;       19,000, 000: “Estimated numbers of Pentecostals vary widely. Christianity Today reported in an article titled World G= rowth at 19 Million a Year.”

 =

“25 percent= of the world's Christians are Pentecostal or charismatic.”

 =

400 – 600 m= illion:  “= The highest estimates place the figure between 400 and 600 million.”=

 =

11,000: “There are about 11,000 different pentecostal or charismatic denominations worl= dwide. Pentecostalism is sometimes referred to as the "third force of Christianity.”

 =

780,000: “The largest Christian church in the world is = the Yoido Full Gospel Church in South K= orea, a Pentecostal church. Founded and led by David  (Pa= ul) Yonggi Cho since 1958, it had 780,000 members in 2003. Chinese believer= s on the mainland headquarters are now in Taiwan. The Apostolic Church is the fastest growing church in the world. Pentecostalism is the world's fastest-growing Christian movemen= t.”  Source of info.: (Wikipedia= , the free encyclopedia)

 

 

MILLIONS OF SOULS SAVED<= /p>

 

Pentecostalism, from her infancy, was used of God= to usher millions of souls into t= he kingdom of God. Revivals after revivals were = born, outpouring after outpouring of the Holy Spirit showered from Heaven. Great revivalists and servants of God arose from that mighty move of God. One of = the greatest  revivals was born in 1946. It = shook the world by mighty servants of God, gifts=   of healing, and mighty signs and wonders. 

 

E= arly Leaders are: Maria Woodworth-Etter, Smith Wigglesworth, Charles Fox Parham, William J. Seymour= , Bishop Johnson, W= illiam Sowders, George Jeffreys, Aimee Semple McPherson, David du Plessis, Kathryn Kuhlman, Jack Coe, A. A. Allen, Oral Roberts, Rex Humbard the first successful TV evangelist of the mid 1950s, 1960s, and the 1970s and at one time had the largest television audience of any televangelist in the U.S.

 

The 1946/47 international revival which originated with t= he renowned evangelist, W. M. Branham and lasted the longest ever in history e= nded in the early sixties. The flames of fire slowly went out from 1962. That ev= ent paved the way for the fulfillment of many Bible prophecies.

Pentecostalism was ordained= of God to fulfill some of the greatest prophecies in the end time. She has spr= ead her wings to the cardinal points <= /b>of the globe, in might and power, wealth and riches, popularity and fame. Her greatness is too enormous to reiterate. Paper and ink are insufficient to document all her achievements = and successes for the pass one hundred years. Nevertheless, certain important factors must be documented in this work to enlighten the world concerning h= er tremendous part in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. <= /p>

 

 

WORD OF FAITH REVIVAL- MODERN PENTECOSTALISM

<= o:p> 

Another mighty Pentecostal revival arose only a few ye= ars after the revival fires of 1946/47 went out. It was termed the “third wave”, 1906 being the first wave and 1946/47 the second wave. The father of this modern movement w= as Mr. Kenneth Hagin and E.W. Kenyons

 =

Quote: It was kno= wn as “Word of Faith, also known as Word-Faith or simply Faith.

 It= is a movement within Pentecostal and charismatic churches worldwide. Its central doctrine is that health and prosperity are promised to all believer= s, and are available through faith.” “Other names, reflecting major aspects= of the movement, include "Name it and claim it", "The Prosperity Gospel", and "Positive Confession".

̶= 0;Word-Faith teachings trace their roots to= <= span style=3D'color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'>E. W. K= enyon (1867-1948), a New England evangel= ical pastor who taught that health and finances were the right of every believer= who would claim the promises of Scripture through faith. Kenyon claimed God's promises were realized by our believing and verbally confessing the relevant scriptures, = and thus he coined the phrase, "What I confess, I possess."

̶= 0;Pentecostal preacher Kenneth Hagin (1917-2003), of Tulsa Oklahoma, was heavily influenced by Kenyon's writings, and began teaching the same doctrines as early as the 1930s. Hagin is often referred to as being the "father" of the modern Word-Faith movement. He elaborated on Keny= on's theology of confession, preaching a four-part formula for receiving God's promises: "Say it; do it; receive it; tell it."

̶= 0;Other preachers in Tulsa<= /st1:place> were mentored by "Dad" Hagin, and began to preach the same doctri= nes. The most prominent of these is Kenneth Copeland.

“Proponents of the doctrine in the United = States include Creflo Dollar, Frederick K. C. Price, Benny H= inn, = Joel Os= teen, Marilyn Hickey, Rod Parsley, Jesse Duplantis, Oral Roberts, Joyce M= eyer, John Av= anzini and Keith B= utler, among others. Many of these pastors appear regularly on Trinity Broadcasting Network, whose founders and directors Paul and Jan Cro= uch are also proponents of the Word-Faith doctrine.

“In Australia, Pastor Brian Houston of Hillsong Church and Evangelist Tim Hal= l promote Word-Faith doctrine. In South Africa, Ray McC= auley is the movement's chief proponent, and in the United Kingdom, Clive P= ick and Paul Scanlon are among the main Word-Faith preachers. Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word= -of-Faith.

 

 

SUCCESS OF MODERN PENTECOSTALI= SM

MR. HAGIN – COPELAND - C= ROUCH

 

        &= nbsp;       Pentecostalism, by “word of faith” movement, and dad Hagin, K. Copeland and Paul Crouch greatly inspired many evangelists. It removed them from the old-fashioned gospel tent meetings, to the radio and television netwo= rk. Hundreds of millions of souls could now be reached in their very homes. The Trinity Broadcasting Network is the greatest media of them all. The third w= ave movement grew and prospered by leaps and bounds in such a manner that seems incredible. However, Bible prophecies are being fulfilled by the instrumentality of Pentecostalism. This will be discussed in later chapters= of this book. She is hailed as the third force of Christianity.

        &= nbsp;       Pentecostalism, by the third wave, became a mighty force, insomuch that her influence reach= ed into other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church. Priests = and church members confessed that they were receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost. They speak in tongues and experience the gifts of the Spirit, with divine healing. From this great achievement the catholic charismatic moveme= nt was born in Pennsylvania USA. Statistics of 2003 claims a membership of 119 million in 238 countries. Oral Roberts is one of the great leaders of that movement.

 

 

PROSPERITY REVIVAL<= /span>

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   The Word of faith movement laid a solid foundatio= n for preaching healing and prosperity of most preachers of Pentecostalism. Most = of them are millionaires and several are billionaires. Many preachers were influenced and received their qualifications from Oral Roberts University. K. Cope= land and Hagin himself fall into this category.

 

= Hagin never received any formal theological training of any kind. His doctorate was honorarily given by Oral Roberts University in the 1970s.  Hagin was considered by his fol= lowers to be a dynamic preache= r, teacher, and prophet= , known for preaching healing and prosperity through searching God’s wo= rd and believing God in faith for financial gifts, then claiming and receiving them by faith…”  “However, walking in love was a priority message throughout his ministry. 

“Since its inception, his organization, Kenneth Hagin Ministries, grew to incl= ude numerous media outreaches and ministries.  Th= ese include Faith Library Publications, with 65 million book copies in print; RHEMA Praise”, a weekly television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network; “F= aith Seminar of the Air”, a radio program heard on many stations nationwide and on the Internet; “The Word of Faith”, a free monthly magazi= ne with roughly 250,000 subscribers; crusades conducted throughout the nation; RHEMA Correspondence Bible School; and the RHEMA Prayer and Healing Center.” Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/.

KENNETH COPELAND

 

&= #8220;Kenneth Copeland (born December 6, 1936 in Lubbock= , TX) is a Pentecostal Word of= Faith preache= r and televan= gelist.”

“Kenneth Copeland cla= imed to be a successful pop singer before turning his life over to ministry work following his conversion on November 2, 1962. In the 1960s, he was a pilot for faith h= ealer Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahom= a, but never graduated. Later he studied under another Pentecostal evangelist,= Kenneth= E. Hagin. His ministry grew through the 1970s, and in 1979, “Believer’s Voice of Victory̶= 1; first appeared on television.”

“Kenneth Copeland Ministries has its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Since 1991, Copeland and his wife, Gloria, have been holding annual week-long “Believers’ Conventions” in both C= alifornia and Texas. His recent regular preaching partners at these events have been Creflo = A. Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, and Jerry S= avelle.”

“He is considered one= of the founding members of the Word of Faith movement.”

Copeland’s teachings incorporate both “Classical Pentecostalism”, with its emphasis on the work of the Holy Sp= irit, including speakin= g in tongues, as well as elements of Faith theology.

“He teaches that pros= perity and riches are promised to eve= ry believer, and can be gained by faith. Faith is a “force”, activ= ated by “confession”, i.e. speaking the words of God.” = Quote: http://= en.wikipedia.org/.

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   Both Hagin and Copeland inspired thousands by th= e Holy laughter and drunkenness revival. More on that supernatural move later in t= his chapter.

HOLY LAUGHTER & SPIRITUAL DRUNKENESS REVIVA= L

 =

Pentecostalism, by word of faith movement”, adva= nce to the “Holy laughter & spiritual drunkeness” revival.<= span style=3D'font-size:10.0pt'> Rodney Howard-Browne is hailed as the originato= r of the Holy Laughter Movement and has brought a revival to churches all over t= he world. K. Hagin and K. Copeland were also influenced by that latest revival of Pentecostalism. It is swiftly moving to other evangelists.

  &n= bsp;            = ; Preachers and congregations experience so much joy of the Spirit, that they laugh for hours, jump and shout as the minister walks around laughing and blessing the people. They fall backwards in their seats and some pass out with laughter. Many roll on the floor. Thousa= nds have experienced this revival. They act like drunk men, staggering, falling= on each other, laughing and stammering. It is linked to Acts 2 when the Holy G= host was outpoured. A woman televangelist and pastor, Marilyn Hickey, visited Rodney’s laughter revival. She rolled on the floor laughing throughout the whole night, and when called to the pulpit, she was so weak from laught= er that she fell to the ground.

“Charles and Frances Hunter, authors of a = book about “Holy laughter revival”, came in contact with the revival when they went to Rodney Howard-Browne's winter campmeeting in Lakeland, Florida, in December of 1993, where they "saw demonstrations of power with Rodn= ey just pointing at people who would then fall under the power of God." T= he Hunters then went to Wayne Jackson's church, Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan, where some of the same manifestations started to break forth as a result of their ministry.

In spring of 1994, the Hunters brought the reviv= al to London, England. The London meetings were held at a Penteco= stal church pastored by Colin Dye, Kensington Temple, one of the largest churches in Great Britain, where more tha= n 116 nations were represented. The= re was a group of twenty from Ireland who were anxious to bring the anointing to Ireland. "Scottish peopl= e were there, and they took this back to their nation. Representatives from other countries were also there, and they laughingly, but seriously took this bac= k to Switzerland and Germany." "By Easter Sunday it was impossible to get all the people into the chu= rch. ... It was snowing outside and we were told they had bolted the doors to ke= ep the people out who were trying to break down the doors to get into this gre= at move of God" (ibid).

Soon afterward, the Hunters went to the Hague and Rotterdam in Holland, where thirty visitors from Belgium then brought the revival from Rotterdam back to = their own country.

 

 

FLATULENCE REVIVAL - ROBERT TILTON

 

      = ;          Please note that the above description of this strange revival, the = word “flatulence” is substituted for common street language, which describes the words: “Gas or flatuence”. The preacher who is identified with this revival is Robert Tilton and it can be accessed from the Internet by the= link: (http://www.youtube.co= m/watch?v=3D0ZeOsUUpWZc&mode=3Drelated&search=3D).

            =     In less than five minutes of his preaching, loud noises of gas can be heard af= ter every few words of prayer and speech. He relates that to the voice of God c= oming out of him, and gives the interpretation of the various sounds. He has a pi= ous look and is seemingly fully anointed. To understand this, I guess people mu= st look at it themselves. This is indeed a mystery of Pentecostalism which is = too hard for us to unfold. I guess believers rejoice in this “mighty move= of god” and latest revival of Pentecostalism.

            =     With toilet paper in his hands, he had an explosion and exclaimed: “I smell heaven’s bakery cooking-up something good for you sisters.” The blessing was passed on to a woman: Maria Tilton. Members of his congregation testify of great prosperity after they received prayer from Pastor Tilton. = One woman said that she increased by one hundred thousand dollars and praised t= he Lord for the flatuence revival.

ORAL ROBERTS’ INSPIRATIO= N

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   A brief revision of the Pentecostal history which= we documented earlier credited Oral R= oberts as the leader of the Charismatic movement. In no uncertain terms he greatly inspired Hagin, Copeland and many other evangelists by his theology and honorary degrees which he gave to them, though they were not qualified for them. He also paved the way for the prosperity gospel and word of faith revival. Money saved him once from being killed by God. <= /p>

 

Oral Roberts (born January= 24, 1918) is an America= n neo-Pen= tecostal televan= gelist. He is also a leader in the charismatic movement.”

̶= 0;In 1980, Oral Roberts sai= d he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus who encouraged him to continue the construction of h= is City of Faith Medical and Research Center, which opened in = 1981. It included three skyscrapers, the tallest being Cityplex Tower which stands at 198 meters (= 648 feet) with 60 floors. It is the second tallest building in Oklahoma. At the time, it was the larg= est health facility of its kind in the world and sought to merge prayer and medicine in the healing process.”

“The City of Faith was in operation for only eight y= ears before closing in late 1989. The Orthopedic Hospital of Oklahoma still operates on these premises.” Quote: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

 

 

VICES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   It is undeniable that some of the practices and v= ices of Sodom and Gomorrah have entered Pentecostalism. T= his all can very well understand because they live in a modern world, and must = deal with modern people. Since there are many women televangelists, it is obvious that some of the styles of Hol= lywood would enter the church.

        &= nbsp;       Women were equally responsible in the fi= rst wave of Pentecostalism, and in a greater way in the third wave in the W= ord of Faith movement. These women televangelists had to dress like the modern women, to appear in public and on the TV screens before millions. They had = to use some paints on their faces, with chopped off hair, like the women of Hollywood, and climb upon high heeled shoes and act = like Hollywood stars. R= ock and roll music was employed to attract sinners’ attention for their salvation.= To meet the modern condition of Sodom and Gomorrah, their me= mbers must have televisions in their homes to hear and see their pastors preach t= he prosperity gospel. Pentecostalism consider that they are a modern society.<= o:p>

        &= nbsp;       Thus the important thing to them is that the preachers of the Word of Faith Revi= val are anointed, including the women televangelists. The people are filled with joy in a Holy Laughter and Drunkenness Revival and even a flatulence reviva= l.

        &= nbsp;       A tremendously important issue that can be considered is that though Pentecostalism deviated from the holiness standards of modest dressing and moral living, their doctrine remained the same. She held firm to Trinitarianism: The belief of three persons in one God the Father, Son and = Holy Ghost.

        &= nbsp;       The Trinitarian form of water baptism. Tongues as the initial evidence of the H= oly Ghost. Gifts of Healing and prophecies and Slaying in the Spirit. The bapti= sm of the Holy Ghost of 1906. The Oneness held to their oneness beliefs. =

        &= nbsp;       In addition, their faith, zeal and hard labors must be credited for converting Protestantism, Catholicism and their members to receive the baptism of the = Holy Ghost, with the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost as speaking in tongues a= nd the gifts of the Spirit.

 

 

SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION OF PENTECOSTALISM

 

I Thessalonians 5:21 <Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.>

        &= nbsp;       In the light of all that was stated, by sufficient historical evidence, it wou= ld be necessary to examine modern Pentecostalism by the Scriptures. Though the things contained in this chapter sounds incredible, mysterious and farfetch= ed to the mind. Reasoning power is insufficient to determine what is truth or error, to the simple in mind.

The sincere in heart will continue to read this = book, if they have any of the Spirit= of God, until we have thoroughly examined the manifestations of modern Pentecostalism in its full context of the Word of Faith movement, and all t= hat issued out of it, televangelism, the prosperity revival, laughter revival, flatulence revival, women preachers and Charismatic movement. Pentecostalis= m is fulfilling many scriptures of the latter day, prior to the rapture and the = end of the world. Amen!

In our examination of Pentecostalism, the writte= n and revealed word is our standard = of judgment.

Isaia= h 8:20 <To the law and to = the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is= no light in them.>

&n= bsp;            = ;   Galatians 1:8 <But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we= said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. >  &nbs= p;       

        &= nbsp;       From its origin in 1906, God’s servants, their achievements, outpourings, revivals, salvation of millions in one hundred years of its existence. Form= er Pentecostalism and modern Pentecostalism must be compared to the original Pentecostal blessing and manifestations recorded in the Book of Acts. It must dovetail with the early church, its outpouring, its revivals, the ministers, gifts, holiness standards and the gospel of Jesus Christ which they established. If not it will prove one or more of the followin= g.

= ·      =    It will pro= ve that 1906 revival was the third stage of reformation and not restoration. <= o:p>

= ·      =    The Church of Christ did not return to Pentecost= in fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel 2:23-28.

= ·      =    That it is = in a state of Apostasy - Rejection of present truth.

        &= nbsp;       History of former Pentecostalism = proves that there is little or no comparison with modern Pentecostalism, except in major doctrines of the trinity, water baptism in titles of Father, Son and the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28: 19) “tongues”, the initial evidence of= the Holy Ghost and a few other similarities. These articles will be examined in= the following chapters

        &= nbsp;      

 

WORD OF FAITH REVIVAL SCRIPTUR= ALLY EXAMINED

MR. KENNETH HAGIN’S PROS= PERITY GOSPEL

 

        &= nbsp;       We will now examine the ‘word of faith̵= 7; revival by the Word and history of Pentecostalism to determine if it was a scriptural revival or inspired of Satan. It is evident from all historical records that the foundation of word of faith revival is money and prosperity. It was inspired to Kenneth Hagin by Mark 11:23.

This= inspiration fell upon thousands of televangelists, pastors = and prophets. It went internationally by televangelism and has gathered the cream of the crop. They are numbered in hundreds = of millions from Pentecostalism and the Catholic Charismatic movement. Its sys= tem is unique and unmatched by many religious bodies. This is a gigantic movement, the third wave= , and third force of Christianity. It is bringing into existence a One World Church and a one World Government = to be headed by a “holy man.” This movement is undefeatable by mortal human power.

Mr. Hagin established that Mark 11:23 was inspired to him. The prosper= ity gospel was born, just speak the word for any earthly possession and you can have it.

 

Quote: “His favorite scripture was Mark 11:23 "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou ca= st into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith". Dr. Hagin often said "I have quoted this scripture so many times that some people may have thought I wrote it, but I didn't, it is God= 's holy word and promise."

 

 

 

THE LORD JESUS’ DOCTRINE= ON PROSPERITY

 

Jesus= : Matth= ew 19:23-24 <Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, Tha= t a rich man shall hardly enter into = the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom = of God.>

Mark = 8:36 <For what shall it = profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?>

 

 

 

A CERTAIN RICH MAN<= /span>

 

Luke = 12:20-21 <But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul

shall be required of thee: then wh= ose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not = rich toward God.>

The = rich man: Luke 16:23 <And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.>

Rich= young ruler: Mark 10:22-23 <And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great = possessions. And Jesus looked rou= nd about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! >

=  

 

APOSTLES’ DOCTRINE ON PROSPERITY

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   The a= postle Paul understood by revelation t= he teachings of Christ on the subject of riches, prosperity, possessions, treasures and gain in contrast to salvation. He taught as follow:

A.      =             That men destitute of the truth, suppose that gain is Godliness.

B.      =              To withdraw= from such men.

C.      =              Godliness w= ith contentment is great gain.

D.      =             We bought n= othing and we cannot carry nothing out of the world. Be contented with food and raiment.

E.      =              The rich sh= all fall in temptation, snares and hurtful lust.

F.      =              Riches drow= n men in destruction & Hell.

G.      =              The love of= money is the root of all evil.

H.      =             Some coveted after money and erred from the faith & had many sorrows.

I.      =             &nb= sp;  A man of Go= d must flee from money & its evils.

J.      =             &nb= sp; If any man teaches other doctrines, he is proud, knows nothing, and is of a corrupt mi= nd.

I Tim= othy 6:3-12 <If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, = even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according = to godliness;

He is= proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perve= rse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing t= hat gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

But g= odliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out= .

And h= aving food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But t= hey that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For t= he love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted

after, they have erred from the fa= ith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But t= hou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight= the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also call= ed, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. >

I ci= te the teachings of the apostle James as a second witness against the “get ric= h” theology of covetous preachers. He said as follow:

A.         The brother of low degree should rejoice that he is exalted.

B.         The rich should rejoice in that he is made low, because he shall fade away in his ways.

James= 1: 9-11 <Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the ri= ch, in that he is made low: the rich man fade away in his ways.><= /span>

The teachings of the Lord Jesus and His apostles clearly established that riches are a snare to the souls of all Christians and God’s servants. I challe= nge all to believe the Lord and his Word. “Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;” (Romans 3:4). All the teachings and the example= of our Lord Jesus are against the teachings of the “word of faith” prosperity gospel. That “get rich gospel” was never taught by o= ur Lord.

 

 

WORD OF FAITH REVIVAL IS SATAN= IC

 

Based upon the Word, the gospel of Christ and the apostles, it is evident that the word of faith revival was inspired of Sata= n. Mr. Kenneth Hagin was inspired= of the devil. He manifested a covetous spirit and preached a Satanic doctrine = when he established the prosperity gospel, which he forged from Mr. F.W. Kenyon.= Mr. Copeland came under that satanic inspiration and the Crouchs, was inspired = of the devil to evangelize the prosperity gospel by TBN. This has successfully bewitched most so-called Pentecostal ministers, pastors, and televangelists= of the world. Only some of the popular names were included in this chapter alo= ng with their historical records of prosperity, fame and glory.

        &= nbsp;       The following is a list of “get rich” preachers. We can notice from their files that they are the ones who are getting rich by the great number= of people which they have bewitched with this damnable heresy.

 

John= Hagee: 18000 members. Ministers carried on one hundred television stations, fifty radio stations, and eight networks, and can be s= een weekly in 99 million homes and many Nations.

 

Fred= erick Price: His program reaches 15 m= illion households a week. Wrote fifty books, sold 2.1 million books since 1976.

 

Rod Parshley: Church property sits = on 132 acres of land. Has a staff of four hundred people.

 

Bakk= ers: Created “praise the Lord” show for T= .B.N. Has satellite to broadcast 24 hours a day. Request from viewers $1.00 a week for expansion, 20 million backing from Jerry Falwell. He took control - Ann= ual salaries $200, 000.00 each, Jim awarded himself $4, 000, 000.00 in bonuses, owns four condominiums. Jim Bakker was actually charged for fraud and subsequently released from prison after serving a prison term.

 

Jimmy Swaggart: Estimated to make $15= 0, 000, 000.00 a year in 1980. The whole world knows that he was guilty of adultery on more than one occasion.

 

        &= nbsp;       The word of faith revival is built upon the love of money, the root of all evil. It has become the root of modern Pentecostalism. The root of modern evangelism and televangelists. It is the root of all religions: Protestantism and Catholicism. It has become the roo= t of Sodom and Gomorrah. It will be the root of a one world church and a one world government and mo= st assuredly the root of the mark= of the beast-666, Revelation 13:13-18.= This will finally bring the destruction of Rome and the rest of the world. (Revelation18).<= /p>

&n= bsp;            = ;   Revelation 13:16 <And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and= bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And t= hat no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,= or the number of his name.>         &= nbsp;     

Alth= ough Christ and the apostles have established that prosperity is one of the greatest adversaries to the soul salvation of mank= ind; I am not ignorant nor have overlooked other promises of the bible in relationship to God’s blessings. However, not one of those scripture verses suggest, indicate or established a ‘get rich’ philosophy= . If it does, it will suggest gross contradiction in scriptures. All of God̵= 7;s Word is inspired.

        &= nbsp;       Quote: III John 1:2 <Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.> <= /span>

        &= nbsp;       Mark 10:29-30 <And Jesus answered a= nd said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or breth= ren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sa= ke, and the gospel's.

But h= e shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters,= and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to co= me eternal life.>

              &= nbsp; Luke 6:38 <Give, a= nd it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, a= nd running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure tha= t ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.>

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   No sincere minister or believer can read into the = above verses of scriptures a ‘get rich’ revelation. However, such verses are handled deceitfully by modern Judases, money lovers and thieves to fleece the poor of their hard earned wages. The Lord Jesus lived an exemplary life in accordance to his teaching. The apostles and disciples followed his example. None of the apos= tles were millionaires or rich men. Jesus lived a sacrificial life, borrowed a donkey to ride, was crucified naked and was buried in a borrowed tomb.

        &= nbsp;       Mr. Hagin, Pentecostalism and her money-loving preachers are the poorest examples of Christ in their teaching about prosperity. Hagin has bewitched millions of preachers and Pentecostal= ism as a whole by his damnable heresy. Satan perverted to him Mark 11:23. He tu= rned it around to mean money because of his covetous money-greedy spirit and lust for prosperity Mark 11:23 is not speaking of prosperity but about the greatest ministry to be demonstrated before the rapture. It was demonstrated temporarily in the last revival of 1947 in creative acts of power, though Mr. Hagin and Pentecostal= ism are aware of this great wonder. They all choose to believe that the scriptu= re is speaking of money. It’s blasphemy! Satan used Mr. Hagin to blind t= he eyes of millions of sincere people to the dynamic ministry of creative power yet to come upon the earth before the rapture.

 

 

FAILED WORD TEST - PROPHECIES FULFILLED

 

        &= nbsp;       We previously established in this chapter that if Pentecostalism and the “word of faith” movement fail the test of God’s Word, it can mean one or more things. Firstly that the revival = of 1906 was the third stage of reformation and not restoration. Modern Pentecostalism was proven wrong by the corr= upt fruits it bore. If 1906 was restoration it could not produce what it did for the past hundred years. Restoration of the word and Pentecost was yet to come. God sent it by the Laodicean Pentecostal messenger: Revelation 3:14, Revelation 10:7. Forty ye= ars after, which is one generation, in that period, Israel became a nation. The restored Word came to Pentecostalism by the former rain revival in 1946/47.= It was confirmed by signs, wonders, and miracles, but she sold out the Word for money, like Judas. The father of “word of faith” revival sold o= ut for money and riches and popularity. God sent them strong delusion for the rejection of the restored word= . They loved money, Sodom and Gomorrah more than the truth.  They fulfilled the prophecy of Revelation 3:14-22.

Revel= ation 3:17. <Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that th= ou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.>

She boasts about her riches, prosperity, glory, fame, and knowledge but is in a stat= e of apostasy. She has rejected the word and Christ. He stands at the church door pleading with individuals to repent. All of God’s children within that cursed system will hear his voice and be prepared for the rapture.

Pentecostalism, with all her renowned ministers, leaders, and televangelists has fulfilled another great prophecy when she rejected the Word by her messenger. This prophecy was not in the past but j= ust before the second coming of the Lord and manifestation of Satan’s pow= er by lying signs and wonders.

I Thessalonians 2:7-12 <Even him, whose coming is after the working of Sat= an with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of = the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them str= ong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.>

        &= nbsp;       The church of= Christ needed restoration according to Joel Chapters 1 and 2. That restorati= on did not come in 1906. Thus Pentecostalism borrowed the theology of the Cath= olic and Protestant churches: Trinity of gods, water baptism in titles instead of name.  Money schemes, unscript= ural organizations, manmade titles, licenses, qualifications, doctorates, L.L.D’s, PhD’s, idolatry, adultery, fornication sexual perversi= ons, and various vices of Sodom and Gomorrah, with nakedness in public and many other worldly traits.

        &= nbsp;       Modern Pentecostalism has spurned their day of grace by rejection of the restored gospel of Christ and the apostles. It was destroyed by the Roman Catholic Church in the Dark Ages. (Joel 2:3-= 28).

 

 

RESTORED APOSTOLIC GOSPEL

 

One God: John = 4:24 <God is a spirit.&= gt; John 1:1-14 <The Word is God…The Word was made flesh.> I Timothy 3:16 <God was manifeste= d in the flesh.>

 

Water Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ: Acts2:38, chapters: 8, 10, 19, Colossians 3:7 <…do it in the name of Jesus Christ.>=

        &= nbsp;      

Woman Preachers: I Timothy 2:12 <I suffer not a woman to teach= .> I Corinthians 14:34 < Let you= r women keep silence in the churches.>

God chose only men in the Old Testament and the New Testament – Matthew 10, Luke 10, Leviticus – Priests.

 

Mode= st Dressing: I Timothy 2: 9 <Let the woman be adorned in m= odest apparel.> I Peter 3:3 < Whose adorning let it not be that outw= ard adorning.> Deuteronomy 22:5 <Women should not wear man’s garment.> Isaiah 3 <Walking and mincing – high heeled shoes.>= ;

 

Deno= minationalism Rejected God’s Word; a curse to humanity: Revelation 17 <Mother and daughters.> Revelation 18:4, Galatians 1:1-9

 

God = called men, not schools, degrees etc.: Romans 10:15 <How can they preach except they= be sent.> Matthew 10 <He anointed twelve and sent them.> Luke 10 <= He appointed seventy and sent them.> John 20:21 <As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.>

 

 

E. W. KENYON

 

Much like many modern Word of Faith teachers, Ken= yon had no formal theological training and in his case his doctorate was self-instituted. Tragedy again struck Kenyon in 1930 when his wife, Alice, left him during the = height of his popularity, accusing him of having affairs with other women. Kenyon fled to = Seattle where he spent his last years a= s an evangelist and prolific writer.

&n= bsp;            = ;   Kenyon influenced many people during his lifetime including Tommy L. Osborn, F.F. Bosworth, and Kenneth= Hagin. His influence is undeniable.

&n= bsp;            = ;   Oral Roberts University President Charles Farah declaration of war on the Fai= th movement. He traced Kenyon's roots to the metaphysical cults. Hagin got his doctrine from Kenyo= n by plagiarizing it, and thus the entire Faith movement was built on a cultic root.

 

“A Plagiarism In 1983, t= wo students at Oral Roberts University<= /st1:PlaceName> discovered that the bulk of Hagin's theological teachings were lifted verba= tim from the writings of other authors.  D.R. McConnell, who wrote his Master's thesis about the Word of Faith movement noted that Hagin had plagiarized the writings of evangelist E.W. Ke= nyon, teaching not only the ideas of Kenyon but also lifting text word-for-word from many of Kenyon's eighteen publi= shed works.  Dale Simmons, one of McConnell's colleagues doing research for his paper entitled "An Evaluation Of Kenneth E. Hagin's Claim To Be A Prophet", discovered th= at Hagin had plagiarized another author named John A. MacMillan.  In this case, Hagin not only plagi= arized word-for-word, he even plagiarized the title, "The Authority of the Believer". 

“Upon discovering Hagin's use of MacMillan's material, Simmons contacted the publishing house that published MacMillan's original work.  The president = of the publishing company confronted Hagin with written proof of the plagiarism.  Hagin's response was to claim that= he had not plagiarized anyone but that his acknowledgement of MacMillan had be= en an oversight.  Hagin then impl= icitly claimed that the plagiarism was actually proof that his teaching and MacMillan's teaching were from God.  In a portion of a letter printed on page 68 of "A Different Gospel" by D.R. McConnell, Ha= gin argued that persons speaking on the same subject use 'virtually the same words' because 'it is the same Spirit that is leading and directing.'  Simmons did not accept this argume= nt, noting that it begged the question why Hagin felt it necessary to read any books at all if God was going to inspire him to have the same thoughts and words as another author.  This information is available from Oral Roberts University in Dale H. Simmons' Master's thesis, "An Evaluation of Kenneth E. Hagi= n's Claim To Be A Prophet".  (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

 =

= Mr. Hagin desired prosperity and popularity more than eternal life and for the people who trusted him, rejected God’s Word, though he was in that revival and witnessed the wonderful works of God. He himself claimed to be a prophet and great bible teacher. Investigations by Oral Roberts university proved him to be an impersonator of other men’s work and most of his sixty five million copies of books were based upon the work of other men wh= ich he stole. He committed one of the greatest evils to the destruction of Pentecostalism and that is when he came face to face with the restored word which God sent by the father of the 1947 revival, W.M. Branham, Elijah the prophet, Malachi 4:5-6. He also impersonated him and at the death of W.M.Branham he and Mr. Gordon Lindsay fabricated a lie telling the people t= hat W.M.Branham backslid and God had to take him away in an accident. This lie = had damned hundreds of millions of souls and is commonly reported amongst Pentecostal brethren up to this day. (God’s generals – by Roberts Liardon).

WORLD EVANGELIZATION

 

Pentecostalism, the apostate and deluded Laodicean church is rejected by God. She’s cursed to fulfill several other end = time prophecies one of which is Revelati= on 16: 12-16 <And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of= the east might be prepared.

And I= saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and o= ut of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. =

For t= hey are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of t= he earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great da= y of God Almighty.

Behol= d, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, les= t he walk naked, and they see his shame.

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.= >

Pentecostalism is the only movement upon the earth that can fulfill such evangelizati= on of Satan. She is fulfilling that prophecy now, with the satanic revival “Word of Faith” which has compassed both land and sea to make m= en, proselytes; and two fold more the children of hell than Hagin and all who r= ejected the restored Word in the former rain revival of 1946/47. Modern Pentecostal ministers, pastors, evangelists, televangelists along with all the net-work= of Pentecostalism is employed in this great prophetic evangelization. Not even Protestantism or Catholicism can fulfi= ll that prophecy. However they are now recruited through the Charismatic movem= ent to fight against the army of God in the Armageddon Battle.

        &= nbsp;       Satan’s plans were professi= onally orchestrated to accomplish the great task of world evangelization, which wi= ll form a one world church, and a one world government to bring into existence= the Mark of the beast. Revelation 13:13= -18 Satan first used false Christs and false prophets to deceive many. Matt 24:24 Pentecostalism also fulfilled that scripture. As a result of such deception, they rejected present revealed truth; the restored gospel of Christ and the apostles. Pentecostalism became the apostate church of Revelation 3:14-22 and was given over to str= ong delusion to believe a lie and to be damned by it. Then the “word of Faith” revival was born by the inspiration of Satan.

Mr. Kenyon and Hagin were chosen and anointed fo= r that job. At the same period Mr. Copeland received the “get rich” inspiration and the Crouches were supernaturally moved of Satan to create. “Trinity Broadcasting Network.” T.B.N.  It became the vehicle of Satan to transport the “get rich” gospel and Trinitarianism around the globe. Hagin’s 65 million copies of books previously established the same heresy for decades. In addi= tion he established Pentecostalism upon the foundation of Romanism, which is Trinitarianism and other heresies.

Satan’s plans for world evangelism continu= ed with many great men. Oral Roberts, the rejecter of the restored Word, becam= e a satanic father of Pentecostalism. He was chosen of Satan to build a city of faith, including a university which educated men in the ‘get richR= 17; prosperity gospel and trinitarianism. Lovers of money and modern Judases be= came Satan’s evangelists. They were manufactured in mass production

In this same period Satan by scientific knowledge perfected radio and television to broadcast his message. False Christ and f= alse prophets Matt 24:24 then had the medium to speak to the whole world from the desert place or even the secret chambers, lying signs and wonders accompani= ed such satanic men for world evangelization. This is in fulfillment of Revela= tion 16:12-16. The Trinitarian spirits of the devil went out working miracles to gather the rulers and nations of the whole world.

Pentecostalism is the only religious body that is presently employed in this satanic task. She was ordained to fulfill this prophecy. She will be instrumental in bringing the Mark of the beast from R= ome to all people whose names are not in the lambs book of life (Revelation 13:13-18, Revelation 17:8)= . Satan’s evangelization is almost completed. God’s last revival and evangelization comes by another re= turn of Pentecost. It will accompany great signs, wonders and miracles in creati= ve acts of power. This will be the true fulfillment of Mark 11:23. =

Two great men are instruments of Satan and are viciously keeping the vision of Satan’s world evangelization alive. T= hey are keeping word of faith revival alive. They are K. Copeland and P. Crouch, who was associated with Mr. Hagin and Oral Roberts. Crouchs’ network T.B.N. accommodates most of Satan’s Televangelists. Benny Hinn is the most popular and is imitating the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is abo= ut to come to the people of God. Such men are known by their fruits: “Ye shall know them by their fruits”.

 Matthew 7:18 <A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.>      

 

 

KENNETH COPELAND

 

Mr. Kenneth Copeland is associated with Crouch, a= nd was closely associated with Mr. Hagin. He preaches the prosperity gospel on T.B= .N. People borrowed money and donated to the Copeland’s to open a busines= s. Six months later the business went bankrupt. Three months later Copeland th= en bought a jet for 20 million US dollars, he left most of his members in debts. He claims that God prospers = him because of his love to God and not from begging. He’s currently being investigated. http://= www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DyIivzLSk02o& mode=3Drelated&search=3D

 

 

= PAUL CROUCH – PLAGIARISM & CURSES OF DEATH

=  

Paul Crouch is the founder of the trinity broadca= sting network T.B.N. “Crouch and many of the preachers who appear on Trinity Broadcasting have garnered much criticism over their style of fundraising, promising donating viewers that God will provide them with wealth and mater= ial pleasures as a reward. As such, TBN has earned the pejorat= ive nickname "The Blasphemy Netwo= rk" by opponents of such charismatic teachings.

 

Alleged plagiarism: “In 2001, Crouch was sued by author Sylvia Fleenor, who accus= ed Crouch of plagiarism in his popular end-times novel (and subsequent movie),= The Omega Code. Fleenor's lawsu= it alleged that the movie's plot was taken from her own novel, The Omega Syndrome. A former Crouch personal assistant, Kel= ly Whitmore revealed that she had encountered a loose-leaf binder in Crouch's luggage that Crouch referred to as "the End Times project" and th= at he often called it "The Omega" but said he disliked the working title, "especially the word 'Syndrome'."

TBN began in 1973 = with Mr. Crouch.

The Network has grown to 47 satellites and 12,500 affiliates reaching nearly 100,000,000 households golbally.

“According to a September 12, 2004 Los Angele Times story, Paul Cr= ouch, the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) paid Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 in 1998 as a settlement over wh= at Ford argued was an unjust dismissal from working at TBN. The settlement contained several other points, among them an agreement for Ford to be sile= nt about an alleged homosexual encounter they had had in 1996 at a TBN-owned c= abin near Lake Arrowhead= , California. “In a statement rele= ased on September 22, 2004, TBN denied Crouch had a homosexual affair with Ford,= but confirmed the payment of the $425,000 settlement. TBN generates $170 million in revenue annually. http://= en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Broadcast_Network

 

Crouch is arrogantly desperate for both men and = their devilish theology. Quote: "I refuse to argue any longer wit= h any of you out there. Don’t even call me if you want to argue doctrine, i= f you want to straighten somebody out over here, if you want to criticize Kenneth= Copeland for his preaching on fai= th of Dad Hagin, get out of my life.= I don’t ever want to talk to you or hear, I don’t want to see your ugly face.”

̶= 0;I think they are damned and on their way to hell and I don&#= 8217;t think there is any redemption for them. I say, ‘to hell with you̵= 7;.  I say, ‘Get out of God’= ;s way, quit blocking God’s bridges or God is going to shoot you if I do= n’t.’"  http://= www.deceptioninthechurch.com/crouch_confused_world.html.

̶= 0;…Take authority over the principalities = and powers that dare to threaten this ministry. I have raised it up from infancy for My own purposes, saith the Lord. Just as I commanded Ezekiel to prophesy life to dry bones, and they took on life, so I am commanding you to prop= hesy death to the threats, challenges, and bondages the enemy has placed on = TBN. Command them to cease and desist, and you will see this dilemma die and disappear before your eyes.

“God, we proclaim de= ath to anything or anyone that will lift a hand against this network and this ministry that belongs to You, God. It is Your work, it is Your idea, it is = Your property, it is Your airwaves, it is Your world, and we proclaim death to anything that would stand in the way of God's great voice of proclamation to the whole world. In the Name of Jesus, and all the people said Amen!” http://= bereanfaith.com/heresy/crouchdeaththreat.htm 

 

 

STRONG DELUSIONS – LYING= SIGNS AND WONDERS

 

        &= nbsp;       After Pentecostalism rejected God’s restored = truth, God sent her strong delusions. She believed a lie and was damned by = that lie. Word of faith heresy was born. Many preachers believed that lie. Many = were damned by that lie. They were accompanied by lying signs and wonders, since= the Holy Ghost departed from so-ca= lled Pentecost. The father of the word of faith revival was given to strong delusions by the laughter revival from Rodney Browne which he plagiarized Revival from Rodney Browne went around the world. Copeland and many other preachers were deluded by this satanic move.

Rodney Howard-Browne says the Holy Sprit makes t= hem howl, roar and scream unlike some Pentecostals who speak in tongues, they say the joy of salvation makes them laugh uncontrollably. http://= www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D5r5Xn7SUGKM& mode=3Drelated&search=3D

 

        &= nbsp;       The Laodicean messenger, father of the 1946/47 revival, W.M. Branham, had an experience of seeing the Devil, who manifested like Hagin and Copeland and many more, who are in the laughter revival.=

 

 

SATAN – SOUNDED LIKE A HEN CA= CKLING

 

&n= bsp;            = ;   Quote W.M.B.: E-94 The next morning when I woke up…and l= ooked over. There was this hideous looking thing. Looked like it was Alley Oop in= the funny paper, great big horns sticking out of it. He was going... Sounded li= ke a hen cackling, or singing, like they're going from the barn…I waited there just a minute, and standin= g, watch.

&n= bsp;            = ;   People talk about devils, and don't even know what they are sometimes…After while he was accusing me, said, "You have no power with God. You're ju= st a bluff. You have no power." I said, "Satan, you're an offense to m= e. Get out of my way in the Name of Jesus Christ," and he left. (An Absolute 63-0127).

 

 

UNHOLY LAUGHTER & DRUNKENE= SS REVIVAL

 

        &= nbsp;       The laughter revival is a satanic delusion and ma= dness. People are laughing their way unto the tribulation and unto hell. It is tot= ally unscriptural. None who receive= d the Holy Ghost in the Old Testament nor the New Testament manifested in that manner. Jesus, who had the greatest measure of the Spirit, had no such manifestation. He was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief. (Isaiah 53:3). It is written:

Ezekiel 9:4 <…Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem<= /st1:place>, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and th= at cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.><= /span>

        &= nbsp;       Those who were in the laughing revival, the Scribes and Pharisees who mocked Jesus and laughed at him on the cross, failed to receive that mark, the seal of G= od. But the hundred and twenty received it on the day of Pentecost. Laughter was not the evidence of the Holy Ghost. Everywhere that the Holy Spirit was giv= en, there was no such manifestation.

Ecclesiastes 2:2 <I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?>

  &nbs= p;             = Revelation 3:17 <Because thou sayes= t, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.><= o:p>

For a church to be in = the above condition is insanity. This has perfectly described Pentecostalism. It is not a Holy laughter, but an ungodly laughter.

The scripture did n= ot say that they were drunk in the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Thus the pe= ople who act like drunk men, and stagger by the power of the devil are in a stro= ng delusion of Satan. When the Jews heard them speak in tongues and stammered,= they assumed that they were drunk. They saw no drifting, falling on the ground and all the nonsense that accompanies this satanic laughter and drunkenness revival. Peter said,

Acts 2:15 = <For these are not drunken, as ye suppose…>

There are no records w= here men drifted, fell to the ground, jumped, rolled over each other, and women exposed and slain to the ground when they received the Holy Ghost. Jesus ne= ver fell to the ground. He said, “The Lord hath anointed me to preach the gospel” (Luke 4), and He = sat down. The Holy Ghost is supreme power in control. The devil possesses people and = they get out of control. This satanic revival is definitely out of control. Pentecostalism has rejected the Word that God sent to them by the Laodicean messenger, and has entered into a laughing revival. It’s madness! Yet even a more disgraceful revival emerged from Pentecostalism. This represents their present condition. They are a big bag of air compounded with rotten <= b>eggs.

        &= nbsp;       The vices of Sodom and = Gomorrah were brought into the church by Pentecostalism. Adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, lesbians, pedophiles,= nakedness of men and women, women preachers kicking up like mules on the pulpit, with painted faces like Jeze= bel, chopped off hair, twisting and shaking on high heeled shoes, in pants, sing= ing in the choir with shorts, praising their “Jesus”. They are all abominations: loathsome and hateful creatures in the sight of God. God would not break His Word for anyone, not even Jezebel. He forbid a woman from preaching the gospel (I Timothy 2:9= , I Corinthians 14: 34). They are all a disgrace to Christianity. Even former Pentecostal women of 1906 dressed in modest apparel. God understands one thing and that is His Word. = He does not have to lower his standards to the perversions of Hollywood to win a soul. He does not ha= ve to borrow the rock and roll music of the world to convict a sinner to be saved= . It is a delusion of the devil.

 

 

WRATH OF GOD REVEALED UPON REJ= ECTERS OF WORD

 

Jesus said, “These people draw nigh unto me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” Pentecostalism is praising a Satanic Jesus on their journey = to the tribulation, Hell and the lake of fire. All such perversions come upon people when they reject the Word of God, is evident in the scripture.<= /o:p>

&n= bsp;            = ;   Romans 1: 18-31 <For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungod= liness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Becau= se that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; b= ut became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.<= /p>

And e= ven as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Being= filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousn= ess; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Backb= iters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Witho= ut understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such th= ings are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that d= o

them.>

        &= nbsp;       Finally my brethren, chosen of Go= d to come out of that damnable  sys= tem of Pentecostalism, I call you to repentance. Save yourselves from receiving  the Mark of the beast, 666. (Revelation 13:13-18).

        &= nbsp;       Having spoken the truth concerning Pentecostalism, which will be further exposed in continuing chapters of this book, all should be reminded that God is speaki= ng such condemnations against the system, which is anti-Christ and not individuals whom he love and is calling out of Pentecostalism

                Revelation 3:19-22 <As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, = and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, a= nd open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me= . To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.> Amen.

&n= bsp;            = ;   The Laodicean messenger, Revelation 3:14, Revela= tion 10:7, Elijah, the prophet, Malachi 4: 5-6, was fulfilled in a hated man in = religious circles, William Branham. He did say, by inspiration, as follows:

 

SO-CALLED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH<= /st1:PlaceType> IS WORST THAN CATHOLIC

 

Quote W.M.B.:  118 Did you know the= Roman Catholic church was first the original Pentecostal church? It taken it two = thousand years to get in the condition it's got today. If this Pentecostal organizat= ion keeps on another fifty years, it'll be worse than the Catholic church. That= 's right. Sin heaping on every side... Now, you might not think that I... You might think I'm crazy, but I know where I'm at. See? It's true. You just wa= it; you'll find out. (O Lord Just O= nce More 63-0628m).
