Hi Guys,
What's the general view point on the 'Florida Revival?

chav:
Hi
I have been reading quite a lot about it recently on other forums and it seems to be causing quite a stir. Only today it has been featured in my local paper, which has a weekly 'religious' section. One of our local pastors has been , so it has probably arrived on my door step.
I have looked on Bentley's site, and I have read an account of an experience he had where he met the apostle Paul and visited his home in heaven. This of course cannot be true as we know the Paul is still dead awaiting resurrection, and there are supposed manifestations of gold dust and encounters with angels. I personally don't trust it.


--- Quote ---Col 2:18-19
Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,
Col 2:19  and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

What about revivals anyway ? where do they fit into the overall scheme of things ?
We had revival here in Wales 1904 ,and in the Hebrides in the fifties , were they genuine manifestations of God. or were they false signs deceiving many.

Hi! Everybody

No! Not another one of those revival gimmicks? We're not going to be put through another religious obscenity of falling on one's back and howling like a dog, are we? Not another display of blasphemous cacoethes, have we not had enough of them?

When are these Babylonian freaks going to learn to read their Bibles and get rid of the African Voodoo practices? Lord help us from these clowns.

God bless.

Love in Christ Jesus.

Hi! KristaD

We are mere mortals but when we have Christ abiding within us then we know how to distinguish the good from the bad trees by the fruits they produce. Any pastor, be he the pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury, matters not, if he believes in such blasphemies as hell, trinity or free-will then his fruit is bad and not to be believed.

These revivalist will wax from bad to worse and the signs they perform will deceive the many, and they will continue to deceive as they have done on several occasions in the past and faded out just as quick as they entered.

I stick with the Word of God and nothing else. Oh yes the Bible does mention them and also gives a stern warning against following them. I obey the Word of God.

God bless and thank you for your response.

Love in Christ Jesus.
