Your comment has been shredded for two reasons:

1) It made absolutely no sense. It was simply a rambling, incoherent jumble of ideas that was, in actuality, waaaaaay off-topic.

2) DON’T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. THAT MEANS YOU ARE YELLING. DO NOT YELL. POSTS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS ARE GONE. IF YOU HAVE A POINT, LET YOUR WORDS MAKE THAT POINT.

The fall of Todd Bentley led me to do a study about false prophets. I asked God for the wisdom to understand the truth and He gave it to me.

I thank God for bringing me out of that movement. I have discovered that since I now go to a Baptist church that some of my family members think I have backslid. What is really scary to me is that their beliefs about salvation come very close to Jehovah’s Witnesses. Such as you have to work for your salvation and you have no hope of security. You won’t know if you will make it into heaven until you get there and etc…..

Which if you believe you can lose your salvation or walk away from it, then you have no security. You may say that you do, but you really don’t. The AoG believe you can walk away from it. How could you walk away from the sealing of the Holy Spirit and the GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN TO A PERSON?

I have tried to show those same family members from the Bible that they can security, but they say that they don’t want to know any different. It worries me if they are really saved.

I can’t imagine anyone going through life claiming to be a Christian and not have the security of knowing they are saved. I was in 10 years of missery living like that.

Praise Jesus He has shown me the truth.

I could go on and on about how the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement is addicting. I have one family member that believes in the security of a Christians salvation, at least they say they do, but they go to a church that teaches different so that they can have the “experiences”. I can’t go where I disagree with what is taught. Especially the security of a believer.

Hopefully Todd’s fall will open the eyes of others as well.

There was always something nudging at me saying that this man was a false teacher/prophet. I had a friend who was just so in love with this man that she couldn’t even see the evidence and clear contradictions from the Bible that Todd was making. Accused me of being judgemental and using that old line of “don’t touch God’s annointed”. It made me sad. But the more and more I was trying to talk to her and show her, I just had in time to shake the dust off my feet and leave her be. I still pray for her that she will allow the Lord to work in her.

Thank you for this post.
