The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHER, Allen Parr's teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher. Abraham is our father and what God did to him is what we should expect God to do to us. Galatians 3:7, says, Know that if you are of faith, you are a child of Abraham - If you follow this man, he will lead you to hell, study the Bible for yourself and claim everything in it for you. False teachers start well, but once they have enough following, they lead you down to hell.

@@binoalab I agree with you that believers in Christ are children of Abraham. But when you say, whatever God did to Abraham, he will do to us, it becomes very very problematic: 1. No scripture says whatever God did to Abraham will be done to us 2. According to your reasoning, every believer should from day of conversion leave their family and go over to Canaan, be barren, live up to 90 years for the men, 75 years for the women before they have their one and only Biological child. And I can go on to show the impossibilities that refute your claim. Is there a blessing of Abraham that is ours? Yes, there is. According to Romans 5:1, which is a conclusion of the argument set forth first of all in the last verses of Romans 4, that blessing is JUSTIFICATION, Period! And no one can be more blessed than whoever has been justified because of their faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. God bless you Bro and God bless us, all members of his Church by faith in Christ as we grow in the knowledge of the faith we proclaim.

@@binoalab your response proves your ears are closed. Please address what HE SAID. Go verse by verse and try to refute it. I'll wait...

@@binoalab Your comment is false teaching.

how do u kno ur saved?

Your saved because you believed and asked God to live in your heart. It’s by believing that we receive salvation.

@@farealwitit7947 the Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. The witness of the Spirit is how you know. It's a continual awareness of God's reality and Presence

Yes; discernment, and guarding doctrinal integrity and "guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it., for out of it flows the issues of life". Building carefully on The Chief Cornerstone, with doctrinal integrity.... I don't know of a better way of saying, that doctrinal integrity, obedience and testing the spirits (which includes discernment) are key matters. By their fruit you will know them"... that doesn't always mean "judge them", but there sometimes needs to be a personal say in the matter such "I ain't buying what your sellin'". There's always "fruit" or "effects", but sometimes we might not always see the ripple effect. There are also sometimes "litmus tests" that are however much like "discerning". I'm not saying this is a 100 percent litmus test, but my grandpa was in Gideons (bible distribution) and we had Baptists, Lutherans other Evangelicals and Pentacostals, and the Pentacostals I knew in Gideons were solid doctrine believers... often Pentacostals were energetic, and we should certainly not want to squelch their joy, often Pentacostals have another way of showing their joy, and we;re all for good enthusiasm. In this life we're enduring with the effects of the fall, so for some it's a light load; for others it's often a tough row to hoe, but it's not so much about full happiness and glee here, but seeking what is best for eternity.

Thank God indeed! 🙏

I’m glad it didn’t take you long to figure out. I’m proud of you. ❤

Same over here... I was starting to delve into the charismatic but very quickly found out it didn't add up and saw how even mistranslated words were used to support their claims...

yh das about right 😂

Exactly

There's a lot of stuff that divides Christians that God cares a lot less about than we do

*May the Blood of Jesus cover each mind and may the Holy Spirit lead each and every person who watches this video into TRUTH, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, amen*

That's why we need the holyspirit to guide us, the bible you can do nothing..... Man at his best is vanity....... Understanding is primarily by the spirit not our theology.. That's why we have many doctrines, remember when Christ was leaving, he said and I will send you a helper who will teach you all things.. Let the holy spirit be the teacher and as the bible says, *..... The spirit searches that deep things of God and reveals them to men*.

Theres more error in thinking that you are 100% right on verses like his #5, the binding and loosing verse, then there is a mistake in leaving it open to interpretations such as it possibly being useful in performing deliverance... which, the binding and loosing is very useful in deliverance ministry and it has saved my hide before. What I am saying is, acting like you know it all is a mistake, especially on verses that are clearly open for interpretations like the one I mentioned above. No need to start a battle by accusing people of false doctrine over verses like that. It seems more damaging to the church as a whole then edifying. Call people out for important false doctrines not minor ones that either side might actually be correct on.. not verses where, who knows what the best interpretation with 100% assuredy besides Christ? Dont start drama over stuff like that by accusing people of false doctrine. Which is by all accounts a major claim to make against another believer and can become a down right insult if your heart is in the wrong place and your just trying to win a bible battle for your particular movements position.

Only the Holy Spirit can truly teach you. Please spend time learning, else you will fall for any teaching. Romans 15:4: teaches that whatever is written in the Bible is for us to learn for our comfort and hope. It is not for section one or two only

The last sentence is the main point, unless you hear this verse at a pentecostal church.

​@@catpocalypsenow8090but the last point, even if the main point does not diminishing the first point that we as born again Christians have been given authority over all the power of the enemy - SATAN

AMEN.

Amen to that quincy washington! I agree. Thanks for sharing that. God bless!

Amen 🙏

Amen 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

We have power and authority for the kingdom not for selfish purposes. Don’t dismiss speaking God’s word as a believer for His will and permissive will. Titus 2:11-15

That is awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for sharing your perspective Suzanne Brousseau!

Yes!

Sorry to say I wasted way too many years chasing after the next book with the answers instead of reading the whole Bible in context. I was led astray by Word of Faith teaching unfortunately. But I am trying to help others not get caught up in it. It sounds so good.

Suzanne Brousseau, I don't read any books on Christianity because there is invariably a mistake in them, unless God tells me to read it. I listen to very few ministries as most invariably will come up with false statements and "back" them up with scriptures that don't apply to their statement. The Bible is my reference book, and a Bible Concordance, sometimes. When you know the truth, Jesus Christ, then the Holy Spirit reveals what is truth and what is lie to you. He confirms it in many ways, one of them being, reading comments here, and when they're true, something in me goes " That's It ! ". Same goes for when I'm talking to someone. Be surrendered and submitted to God always and you'll know "all things", as the Bible says.

@@courtneynicole767 Historically, yes, they were close to the truth, but practically, I've heard many are falling away into weird practices. You should follow Christ, forsaking denominational labels which will deny Christ in some way. If you've found a good Pentacostal church, wonderful. But know, all true Christians are Pentacostal, but are not obeying the tenets of any denomination, but obeying the word of God, as taught by the Holy Spirit.

Me too. I spent decades thinking there was something wrong with me because I wasn't healed physically. So glad to hear I'm not!

What church did you end up attending after leaving the Pentecostal church? I grew up in a oneness Pentecostal church and I am now* looking for a new church.

@@oscarcastillo2890hi same as well I’m leaning towards a non denominational

@@belencruzxoxoJust be careful, keeping in mind that non denominational churches are basically Baptist + Pentecostal.

Same here. I know the good lord led me to this channel.

Same. Feels like real Bible teaching, not propaganda or denomination centered.

he doesnt speak the full truth so beware

@@farealwitit7947 then why are you here?

@@farealwitit7947 How so?

You most probably have not been baptized with the Spirit

@@peterhussey-yeo9041 When someone is baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (and with faith in Jesus) they receive the Holy Spirit. There is no separate baptism of the spirit.

Baptism of the spirit is just evidence of tongues. Speaking in tongues has two meanings. A angelic prayer and one that requires a interpretation. Angelic prayer is what poured out on Pentecost. I used to think that too because I never spoken in tongues. I used to wonder why I didn’t have the Holy Spirit until my Pentecostal preacher preached over it just being a gift and it’s a wonderful one but it’s only evidence of the Holy Spirit. Just like our fruits. Sorry you had that encounter. After that sermon I quit denying the gift of tongues as a unclean Spirit and then I stopped believing in didn’t have the Holy Spirit. The next couple weeks later I raised my arms and prayed like I never prayed before. I prayed so deep and intimate to God he interceded and filled me with the Holy Spirit with evidence of tongues.

@@guti6874 amen!

@@OlivusOrchards You are to be baptised in the name of Jesus not the name of the father sun and holy spirit

I learned most of these teachings from a Baptist preacher, so I was really confused about it being “charismatic”. Pretty sure it’s an epidemic.

Thank you for this observation. I was wondering myself.

Thank you for making this point.

Thank you for this comment. I go to a pentacostal church and a pentacostal/charismatic theological college and I've heard some pentacostal use these verses because they heard it from a prosperity preacher. The church I go to is doesn't ever use these verses out of context nor does the college. I think it can describe word of faith movement/prosperity preaching but it shouldn't sum up all pentacostals/charismatics. After all some pentacostal churches I've seen are more like a Presbyterian or baptist church and on the other hand I've seen some baptist and Presbyterian seem more charismatic/pentecostal.

Well man-made sects will always take verses out of context. Only Christ's Church is the pillar of truth (1 timoth 3:15). Any private interpretation leads to a soul to ruin.

@Mikael Yashuah Donoso YEAh hhh some are trying to set dates

@Mikael Yashuah Donoso I don't Know man! KZfaq Is going Crazy This Year, Espiaclly Our people/ christians/ Believers/body of christ.

@Mikael Yashuah Donoso Yeah I think So, I think we Can Repent And Turn Back To God during the tribulation period But It will Not Be Easy because we'll Get Killed By The Antichrist. But Have Hope Because as soon as He Killedus, we will Find ourselves Wearing White Robe and will Worship God In His Temple and we will Live In His Presence Forever. AMEN

@Mikael Yashuah DonosoI Know what the 2nd amendment talks about But Brother We Cant Use Weapons To Defend Ourselves. Remember When Peter Trys To Defend Jesus With Sword And He Cut The priest's Servant head and Jesus Says To him 'Put Your Sword Back In Its Space and Then He says Those who use Sword will Die By the sword" So Let Us Be Strong in Jesus. Revelation 13:10, Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

@Mikael Yashuah Donoso The Devil can't show himself his going to use human. When the BIBLE says that Beast Coming Out Of A Sea. A Sea Represents People/Population of people.

My wife recommended the channel. Love he’s bible explanations. Very well versed on scripture.

Best “sin” you’ve committed. 😂🙌🏻 May the Lord bless you brother.

Same

Same

Every word in the Bible is for us. Don’t mind Mr. Parr and his falsely interpretation

I prayed for my dad mom brothers my husband to be healed they all went to be with Jesus Christ I still believe in healing I was healed of cancer their is nothing so special about me I know that I love Jesus Christ I don't have the answer for what happens in others life God is the only one that knows our heart sign Cynthia Smith

You're right! Only the Lord knows what He intends for us! 😉

True because I know a revivalist teacher and he doesnt preach like that either

I agree with you . May be it is his personal experience but categorizing all pentecostals and charismatic churches in same way is not right either. Like - just because I heard someone in baptist church preach that satan and jesus were brothers... i cannot say all of them believe that wrong doctrine and say they r false teachers. So we need to watch out for our brothers and sisters in Christ, specially at this time when we need each other the most to stand for the Gospel in Spirit and Truth. Hope you understand this brother Allen, with due respect

When the demons come into my dreams I can just think of Jesus and bound them and I wake up, so I will continue to bound them in the name of Jesus Christ, doesn't it say get behind me devil in the name of Jesus and he will flee?

@Stewart Ross How would you know? You sound bitter and judgmental. I said all do not teach this way. You said "wrong" like you you know every Pentecostal in the World. 😆

@Stewart Ross Why dont you do what Allen says and provide scripture to back-up whatever claims you are trying to make? Otherwise you are just being emotional.

If only they read the Bible and realised the man at the pool of Bethesda was healed and he didn’t even know who Jesus was 💀 there have been so many times where people prayed for someone who did not have faith they would be healed and they were healed! It’s all dependent on Gods sovereign will. It’s not great faith jn God, it’s faith in a great God. We need to rely completely on a God not on our “amount” of faith. Because then you are putting faith in YOURSELF to be healed and not God! We need to trust and rest, not strive. I admit it’s something I’m personally working on.

That's what I like to hear! Thanks for watching, Laura O

Laura and more Laura.. Context should be about the topic. The whole Bible Genesis to Revelation is for you and for me.. That context should be clear and sealed. Romans 1:16-17: The context of saying it is for last generation, for black people, for whites, for Israelite or for Egyptians is Left or right people is a horrible and leading you out to hell. 2 Tim 3:16-17, Bible stories are lessons for us to learn from.

As far as speaking in tongues is concerned. Three times in the book of Acts it is written that believers recieved the Holy Spirit and the first thing that happened is that they spoke in tongues. The important question is, does God see those three instances as sufficient proof that believers should expect to speak in tongues as the first evidence that they have recieved the Holy Spirit ?

@@robertnieten7259 there is a difference of receiving the Holy Spirit (happens when you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord) and being baptized with the Holy Spirit. When you are baptized with the Spirit, the Spirit falls on you. Oftentimes, this is accompanied by speaking in tongues and prophesying, but not always.

@Josh Gellock Recieving the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are one and the same event. Not once in the book of Acts do we read of believers recieving the Holy Spirit at one point and then being baptized in the Holy Spirit at another time. We do not recieve the Holy Spirit the moment we believe the gospel and accept Jesus as our savior. Being saved is being born again and just as physical birth is the end result of a process so is spiritual rebirth. We recieve the Holy Spirit as the result of believing " into" Christ not just believing in Him, that shows that there is a process involved. Acts 2:38 is that process. In Acts ch.19 when Paul met the disciples he asked them, " Have you recieved the Holy Spirit since you believed"? For him to even ask them that is to prove that one doesn't recieve the Holy Spirit the minute that they believe. When they told Paul that they hadn't even heard that there was a Holy Spirit, Paul asked them, " How then were you baptized"? They said," by Johns' baptism". Paul then told them ," verily John baptized in a baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, to believe on the one to come after him, Jesus Christ"( Acts 19:4). It then says, " When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,And when Paul layed hands on them and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied"( Acts 19: 5,6 ) You see that the disciples believed by what they did and that was to complete their repentance by being water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They then recieved the Holy Spirit by being baptized in the Holy Spirit confirmed by their speaking in tongues and prophesying.

@@robertnieten7259 tell me, when Jesus breathed on the disciples (before the ascension), and said, "receive the Holy Spirit", did they receive it or not?

@Josh Gellock When Jesus breathed on His apostles and said, " Recieve ye the Holy Spirit" they didn't recieve the Holy Spirit at that time because the Holy Spirit would not be poured out until Acts 2 At Pentecost. Remember, in Acts 2 just before the apostles, and the other believers gathered there, there was a rushing mighty wind. The natural reaction whether it be breath blowing in your face or wind is to breath in. The believers breathed in the Holy Spirit. Remember in John ch.3 when the Lord drew a comparison to Nicodemus between birth of the flesh and birth of the Spirit. When a physical baby is removed from the mother the doctor would smack them on the butt and they would breath in and cry alerting all within hearing that a baby had been born. Spiritually a believer leaves the baptismal water and in the process of calling out to the Lord for the Holy Spirit breathes in the Spirit and speaks in " tongues" alerting all within hearing range that a spiritual babe in Christ had been born.

Me neither!!! He is REACHING in this video. Smh.

@TS places I've been to church. He was on point with this teaching. I usually have had questions after some sermons preached at church and Allen breaks scripture down to simple understanding for me

@@valarie.parker83 Yeah, I get that. But this was specifically about the Pentecostal Church, and in general at that. Are you referring to the Pentecostal Church, or do you attend a different Church?

I feel like he needs to clarify that this is not all Pentecostal churches. Some are filled with the g-12 movement but there are so many more sound doctrine churches that are Pentecostal that preach nothing but the true bible.

Also, in the Pentecostal denomination there are so many sub denominations and organizations that have their different interpretations of verses and many fight to go against the stereotypes that Pentecostal are faced with

Wait … what ?!

Funny thing - Paul said that those that did NOT speak in tongues were UNINIATED/unlearned/ - making THREE groups of people in 1 cor 14 - the unregenerated - those that spoke in tongues and those that did NOT - so the CLASSIFICATION is BIBLICAL - BUT that is NO excuse for making any claim of CONDITIONAL love based on speaking in tongues or not. I just don't see that you had an actual case - you MAY have realized there was MORE to the GOSPEL than you had - I was that way for maybe 5 years - but eventually the BIBLE and GOD met in UNITY over me and I GOT the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT and LOTS more - BAM!!! I am QUITE sure that they wanted you to have all God wanted you to have - and nothing more. And GOD wanted you to speak in tongues . . . for communion with Him, if nothing more. 1 Cor 14:23 "Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?" "No. 4 is the one being stressed so much in a charismatic church I used to attend, but not any of the other points (in that particular church). It was such a stressful period. The people at that church are very nice, but I feel like their love and acceptance is conditional, upon whether we speak in tongues or not. And if we don't, we are considered second-class men/women of God 😢 and that broke my heart"

​@@paulrobinson9318 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. 1 Corinthians 14:6‭-‬12

I was also addicted to something and I prayed to lord to punish me whenever I did the same and guess what, everytime I did that(don't really wanna disclose) he did punish me, whether if its me having a really sad day or something else, however he always forgave me for my sins, and hence I've been praying daily so I can wash off my sins😄

Paul encourages all believers to seek earnestly the gifts of the spirit. He’s talking to people already saved. And he also says that he wishes all Christians spoke tongues as much as he did.

yes you need to be filled with the spirit and baptized with fire. The Holy Spirit is HOLY. Do you really think that he will fill a believer in habitual sin? When a sinner comes to Christ, they receive the seal of the Holy Spirit. If the believer wants to be filled, they must seek the lord and ask. I am currently asking and seeking for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

@@lukericker8325 Paul also says that he'd rather speak 5 intelligible words that edify the brethren than 10,000 in a tongue that no one understands (1 Corinthians 14:18-19). He also asked rhetorically, "Do all speak in tongues?" The implication being, NO, ALL DO NOT SPEAK IN TONGUES. Plus he said earnestly desire the spiritual gifts ESPECIALLY THAT YOU MAY PROPHECY (1Corinthians 14:1). This is all centered in one overarching command: LOVING ONE ANOTHER. JESUS SAID, "BY THIS ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRULY MY DISCIPLES IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER (John 13:34-35)." The gifts of the Spirit are not given to prove that l'm saved nor for my SELF-indulgence. They are for glorifying God and building up the Church of which Christ is the head (Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 4:14-16, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 1 Corinthians 14:1). To me one of the most devastating passages in God's word is 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. It shows that A PERSON CAN BE EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED BUT MISS THE MARK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BEAR THE FRUIT OF LOVE (Matthew 7:15-23). The fruit of the Spirit is different than the gifts of the Spirit. God gives us spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 4:7, James 1:16-17). THAT'S HIS CHOICE, HIS GENEROSITY. BUT LOVING OTHERS IS OUR CHOICE. God will not force me to love other people. Loving others is volitional especially when dealing with those who've done me harm. God and Jesus have chosen to love me DESPITE ME. Because THEY ARE LOVE (1John 4:8, 16). The first promise in the New Testament is Matthew 1:21. "And she will bear a Son; and you shall call his name Jesus, FOR IT IS HE WHO WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." Of what value is it if l'm loaded with spiritual gifts while also being filled with pride? Or if l am immoral in mind or actions? Or if my heart is trained in greed? Or if l hold anger in my heart against my brother, which Jesus equated with murder? I could go on. The Corinthians were far more legitimately gifted than probably any church in the world today. But they treated the Lord's Supper like a picnic, were taking each other to court, had immorality going on that even pagans would frown upon, and the rich were disdainful of the poor. Being blessed with spiritual gifts does not always translate into a person exhibiting holy and upright moral character. God requires that we be holy for he is holy, holy, holy (Leviticus 11:44-45, Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8).

Acts 2:4 Acts 10:46 Acts 19:6 Tongues is the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost for example the disciples obviously already believed in Jesus yet they still had a separate experience on the day of Pentecost where they received the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues

Mark 16:16-17....read it. New tongues are given to true believers. Dont let this guy give you false doctrine.

Or they say these: you're too "heady", or, "well you thrive on head-knowledge, but I have experience." If you try to present sacred Scripture in its own context, and if you lay everything out clearly and carefully by way of the Holy Spirit, they look at you as big headed or void of faith..... This angers me deeply.

It's so sad and getting worse. Now they are Reading the Passion version that is nothing more than a man telling people what he thinks the verses really mean using terminology they use which only reinforces the wrong conclusions.

Really Pentecostal and Charasmatic believers do have some traditions or philosophies of man that need to be brought down but so do you guys as well. Every denomination or non denomination thinks they have the Best interpretation of the scriptures but we have a lot of Western Christianity mindsets or should I say strongholds that need to be brought down! When I look at the church in Acts and I look at the church Today, why does it look drastically different? Have you ever asked yourself that? Something is wrong with us!!

For a lot of Christians, I suspect the only experience they have with Holy Writ is what they hear from the pulpit. They have never read it for themselves. Two words: Take. Read.

In my experiences evangelicals are the worse in interpreting scriptures correctly.

I consider myself evangelical - though I come from a church that has long ago stopped being evangelical despite being about the *founders* of modern evangelicalism - and I frequently criticize evangelicals for getting it wrong. I've gotten a lot of people mad at me by explaining verses that EvErYbOdY kNoWs MeAnS tHiS but actually mean something completely different, or highlighting verses they choose to ignore because they don't fit their worldview.

Speaking with new tongues is the only true sign of the holyghost... some don't understand that there are 3 different types of tongues. Thats one of the mysteries of the lord. Also all through acts they all spoke with new tongues when receiving the holy SPIRIT.

@@tutking55 I agree that there are 3 different functions of speaking in tongues. The Apostle Paul spoke in tongues, however the Bible does not record him speaking in tongues at the time he was filled with the Holy Spirit, but he immediately began to proclaim Jesus... Acts 9:17-20. I also believe that backsliders who are far away from God can still speak in tongues, it’s never wise in my opinion to use a gift of the Holy Spirit as a marker for a persons spiritual condition. But it’s much more accurate to use the fruit of the Spirit for determining spiritual condition. Remember Judas did signs and wonders, and he was a thief and Trader.

I agree to that

I was just going to post the same verse. The great Salvation Christ purchased for us on the cross is threefold: spirit soul and body.

@@dncrod Yes!

If you look at the root hebrew word used for healing in the verse he referred to, "rapha", and then cross reference the other verses used, they are all for PHYSICAL not spiritual healing. He's the one interpreting wrong. i know he does these videos with good intentions, but I hate that presents it as if his denominational beliefs are the end all be all and those that dont agree are false. No one has it 100% correct, how much space does he leave for himself or his denomination to be incorrect. I haven't seen it yet.

So true.. I think he's confused according to the scriptures and still wrestling with somethings from his past church... We are supposed to apply the blood of Jesus and his word to our lifes. That's where the power is that's what he died for.. He knew what it would take to save us and what it would take to keep us to make it to heaven.. I will be praying for this brother..🙏

Thanks so much for watching and for your comment Angel Velez! God bless!

Toya 2Free hey dear. I felt the same way when God had to put me out of the false church because I wouldn't have left probably. He had to heal me and teach me according to His word. Reach out if you need to talk about it. Praying for you dear

Exactly. The fall of man was all because Adam and Eve desired wisdom and power - both on the surface good things - but received it by compromising God's commands and brought death and sin into humanity.

My pastor once said 'the devil can give you scholarship' and it's not a lie. Anything that appears to be good you've acquired that separates/distances you from God, should be investigated. The bible says the devil sometimes appears as an angel of light.

@Emmanè Butter In this world, if you cant walk in humility and be as selfless as possible, its really hard to say that wealth and success is for God. Its noth about how much you make, its about how much you keep. Its not about how people see you, its how you promote yourselfs versus others. The bible doesnt say its hard for a rich man to get into heavan for no reason. Its not impossible, just hard. They have to walk in humility and beable to resist pride and greed for more. Satan is willing to give you everything you want in exchange for your attention away from God, or basically your soul. People think selling your soul is just for music industry or fame. It can be anything. And dont take this outta context. Im not attacking, just partially agreeing. The Lord can bless us with many riches but its also our job to interpret if its from him or the Destroyer.

True, the devil will disguise in anything that's in this world. There are times where even Christians can be used to lead others astray. So we always need to seek what God is saying to us through the Bible.

Pull your doctrines from scripture - don't form a doctrine then try to use scripture to back it up, whenever possible. That's another key thing.

@@palmerdirector9169 How about "Rebuke not an elder" ? That one was used in my family to say that anyone who was older than me was to be obeyed without question.

If God were the only one that can speak things to existence, there would be no Faith (Heb 11:1) and 2 Corinth 4:18. Focus on unseen things.

I haven't heard that in the UPC but there is that teaching commonly from some megachurch quack-preachers. There are also those that believe they can use the "power of faith" to control weather.

Awesome Cindy w! Thanks for watching my video!

Can you please tell me what they said to you? I'm in a pentecostal church and I want to know the truth and find a really biblical truth based church.

I am so thrilled you are now a "discerning" Christian. May God bless you and keep you.

I was in the same boat too, but this channel came up in my suggestions along with a couple others and I've never been the same since. Praise the Lord!

Did you actually get healing and if you did do you believe maybe that power came from another source like a demonic source because people also manifest healing and that definitely isn’t from god or they do reikki healing and while many get physically healed they then need deliverance from demons they allowed in their body. Do you think claiming and rebuking for healing may be a form of witchcraft?

Same thing happened to me many years ago. Even after I stopped attending those types of churches, it took years to realize how the false teachings undermined my growth and sound thinking as a believer. God reveals his truth in his word, and confirms his word in other scriptures. As a new believer in the late 70's, I just assumed those teachers were smarter than I was---when I couldn't figure out how they got that meaning from reading the same passage I was.

Just wanted to remind you that healing is 100% real and still a very active work of God today. And it was provided for in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, which set us free from the curse of the law, which includes all sickness.

I grew up Charismatic Pentecostal and they did often border on Prosperity Gospel at least in the organizations I was in.

Thank you for saying that. I just wrote a comment saying the same thing. It makes me so angry when people accuse Pentecostals of things we don't do. They have us mixed up with other denominations.

I know of many pentecostal preachers especially in the black community who preach nothing but prosperity gospel.

This is true

,sounds like y'all are going to the wrong Pentecostal church then

I believe He gave the Apostles the authority but I will need to go back and re-read for correct context. 📖

Yup the Apostles, but I misunderstood it wasn't the 12 it was the 70 Jesus appointed after the 12. 🙏 as I step out in faith may I remain able and ready for the Lord to correct my theology concerning His truth, that I may walk in that freedom He wants me to have when I know the truth as He intended to be received. ✝️

@@paulinelister5868 what are your thoughts on Steven and Philip doing miraculous things under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. They were not apostles.

@@ericpartain4612 wasn't Philip one of the Twelve? Though I don't know if all the Twelve were commissioned to be apostles

@@heresthadude1080 yes he was. Sorry. Philip wasn't the best example for this conversation. Another thing to consider is that God used a variety of people throughout the old testament to do miraculous things as well. I think to say the gifts went out with the apostles or was only designated to the apostle is hard to prove to all of the people who have personally experienced miracles over time as well as the number of people God used throughout the historic narrative we have in the bible. Also when Paul writes Corinthians he is not writing to apostles but the Corinthian church which is evidenced to already have several of the gifts of the Spirit in function. I've seen people function in the gift of healing in today's time. Doesn't mean they can go to the hospital and heal everybody but rather the gifts are used in the time and place that God sees fit.

Absolutely love that analogy!

I think a heard that from Dr. Frank Turek? Btw, great insight

This is a good acronym.

Thank you so much for watching! Your comment means a lot, DanielApologetics.

@@thebeatagp - Keep fighting the good fight - and keeo up the great work, Alan.

Matteo I think the objection we have (I can only speak for myself here) is what exactly is this 'tongue' that the pentecostals speak? Speaking in tongues simply means speaking 'in other languages'. ie French, German. I do not believe that on the day of Pentecost any other languages were spoken than those which existed on earth at that time. If the language you claim to speak is not known by someone on earth right now I am deeply skeptical. Pentecost had a purpose - it was to spread the word to the four corners of the world. I think part of the problem for the pentecostal movement is Jimmy Swaggart. A man who uses tongues like some sort of evidence. He claims it is a language spoken in heaven. His grandson claims it is a future language of man not yet spoken on earth. Very shady and suspicious conduct by these two men.

@@thesolaraquarium Amen! Speaking in tongues is not babbling gibberish. Babbling is easy to imitate and people can give false interpretations(translations). “Heavenly language” or “tongues of angels”is a figure of speech, not literal. Paul is emphasizing that it’s a spiritual gift from God. When we start to look at scripture as literature and properly exegete the text (without adding our own opinions or ideas) it is easier to understand . . So we must understand figurative language and literal language. They teach this stuff in English language arts for a reason lol .

@@Noah-rv9uj I was given the 'gift of tongues' a few decades ago. I was struggling to read a religious book in French, the work of a Saint. I would have to check my french-english dictionary every sentence at least once. It seems that God wanted me to read this book. A few days later I was able to read the book without a dictionary and understand 95% of what was there. To this day I don't use a dictionary - don't even have one in my library anymore. I am able to read French unassisted. I am able to work out the missing 5% from the 95% I understand. It is a gift from God. I have no doubt about that. I always had a working knowledge of French (it is my second language). But until that time I was never able to read it without a dictionary as a helper. Since that time I can. Until now I have never told anyone about this. Only God and I know this. It's personal, as I expect all gifts of God are. When people start declaring in public that they have a gift from God I get skeptical. I only share this to explain that some of us have been given this gift of tongues. I am not alone in this, I am sure.

Amen! I used to think I was condemned because I had not spoken in tongues yet. It's been 7 years since I was baptized, and I still have yet to speak in tongues.

You are alright. I've been believing in Jesus for over 25yrs, attended an Assemblies of God church for over 17yrs and i don't speak in tongues, or prophesy, or, get the shakes. I stopped wondering what was wrong with me a very very long time ago❤

Every Christian has to come out of Egypt, cross the Red sea, then take the Wilderness Journey to reach the edge of the Promised Land. Before the LORD takes him into the Promised Land, he must be circumcised, and then cross the river Jorden, and be ready to conquer the first enemy stronghold, Jericho. 1Cor.10 Our Promised Land is not the land of Canaan, but the Heavenly Places (occupied by the Principalities and Powers). Eph.3:10 ; 2:6 So Paul said, our enemies are Principalities and Powers, .......Eph.6:12

When GOD speaks, it is done. So it must be GOD that speaks through a Man, then it is done. It is not positive speech, or confessing our godly desires before GOD. Hence, Mk.11:23 was that which Paul claimed to mean 'CHRIST speaking in him'. 2Cor.13:3-5 Whatsoever things CHRIST speaks forth, these will come to pass. CHRIST is the Creator of all things NEW. 2Cor.5:17-18 ; Matt.24:35

@@ngdavid3925 Definitely, it's not to say we have the power to create and bring something into existence. It's more about not giving the devil a chance to use our words against us. When we speak evil the devil will answer what you have spoken by making it happen but when you speak life your giving God the opportunity to show himself in your life. I wish allen would elaborate more instead of just rushing.

@@shio_sakaki_the_legend392 I understand what you are trying to convey. What you mean is 'words of Righteousness' and JESUS taught about it. Matt.12:32-37 However, do not confuse it with 'the words of Faith'. Mk.11:22-24 'Say it and have it' We were discussing on 'the words of Faith'. What I was trying to convey was that 'the words of Faith' cannot be plucked from the thin air. These words of Faith must come directly from GOD to our spirit. Then we say it and have it.

I use to believe this to. However I’ve recently came to learn the truth! There is power in the tongue meaning the way you talk to others could hurt or lift someone up. But to Name it and Claim is such a false idea of what the scriptures meant! Not only that It’s replacing God to say if you put it out there then God will respond. You could pray silently in your mind or any way of communication with God & guess what if it aligns with his will or is he please to he will give you it or Not. This is so hurtful to the churches because it make people who are ill or sick that’s there something wrong with them or they don’t have enough faith because they are being healed even though they are using all the authority of words. Also a lot of pagan religions & new age practice that so I’d be careful of that one..

@@briannamallory5067 Well I don't want to be so arrogant as to believe I could not be wrong. In your understanding though, how do you explain healings and the casting out of demons? I understand not everyone believes the holy spirit operates though us this way anymore so I will just refer to the early church. Did they not speak and people were healed? Did they not command demons to leave the body in which they inhabited? Also, how do you explain Mark 11:23?

Jesus said pay tithes, give to charity, and pay taxes. Just fyi. And if you're broke, remember that 10% of 0 is 0. God bless you.

It's ALL about Jesus. The Holy Spirit ALWAYS points to Jesus. It is not about the Holy Spirit being greater than Jesus. The Holy Spirit is also God, but He points to Jesus. It is all about salvation through Jesus Christ. Our focus is to be on Jesus.

Once you realize each member of the Godhead is equal - it’s better, because you don’t lower your perception of the One you thought was highest of the Three, you raise the ones you felt were lower. If you think well I thought the Son was the best member of the trinity because just how good He is, then you can think, well they’re equal so how good must the Father be! Or vis-versa. We are actually saved by the Spirit through belief in Jesus. Titus 3:5-7 states, “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

@@user-bm4xd4ir5x I agree but it was Jesus who sent the Holy Spirit of God to dwell in us. He knows how fallen this world is and He knows the power we need to get through it. Too many believers, call out Abba Father, love Jesus, but are powerless. I pray we don't put emphasis on one or the other but just as the GodHead work ensync we do the same to the glory of God by carrying out the great commission.

@@charmainwilliams-farrar2559 Why do we need supernatural power to "get through it"? I am born again I have Christ in me, if I don't have some supernatural gift, I am happy just to be a child of God. I don't doubt there are some saved pentecostals but I do think they focus too much on the supernatural. I know family members who follow heretical teachings just because the preacher is charismatic, I think that is clearly dangerous.

@@Romans8-9 you ask why do we need the Holy Spirit. That's a question for Jesus. He said the Holy Spirit was going to comfort us, teach us, convict us, and guide us into all truth. Jesus also said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. So if you think you know better than Jesus about the need for the Holy Spirit than I don't know what to say. Either way, May God bless you.

The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHERS teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher.

(John 14:28) Jesus said "I Ascend Unto My Father, and Your Father, and to My God, and Your God." (John 20:17) If Jesus Was God, then why would he say, "to My God, and Your God," and who was he Ascending to BUT THE ONLY TRUE GOD THE FATHER / JOHN 17 3 If Jesus was God, he would have clearly told People to Worship him, and there would be clear verses in the Bible stating this; YET He did the Opposite and Disapproved anyone worshipping him: "And in Vain They Worship Me."

@@islamdefenderyahya4621 Like all unbelievers, you mishandle the Word of God, and you take scripture out of context. Christians believe the Divinity of God exists in 3 Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That’s how Jesus can say to My God and your God. In fact, in Hebrews 1:13, God is quoted as saying, “The Lord says to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Who do you think which Lord the Lord is speaking to? Since you are in John, chapter 20, when Thomas placed his hands into the wounds of Jesus, he stated in verse 28, “My Lord and my God.” Don’t you think Jesus would have corrected him if that statement wasn’t true? You are mishandling the Word of God with Matthew 15:9. Jesus is quoting Isaiah 29:13: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. If anything, Jesus is expecting worship - but the right way. Also, there are numerous places where Jesus accepts worship: Matthew 8:2 Matthew 9:18 Matthew 15:25 Matthew 20:20 Matthew 28:9 John 9:38 Hebrews 1:6 The Apostle John said: Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58 The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because the “I AM” referred back to Exodus 3:14 where Moses asked God what His name was - “I AM WHO I AM” was the answer. Surely you can see where Jesus is saying He is God. Also, only God raises people from the dead. Read John, Chapter 11 to see where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. If you like, I can provide more Scripture references that show where Jesus is God.
