World-renowned Word Of Faith/Prosperity Preacher Pastor Kenneth Copeland spoke at Bethel Church in Redding California this week. In the past, we have expressed our concerns about Kenneth Copeland. Does this newfound fellowship with Bethel change our opinions of those at Bethel Church? And how should people be thinking about Bethel in light of Copeland's most recent appearance?
We'll also discuss Who is Kenneth Copeland? What is Word of Faith and the prosperity gospel?

Hi Troy this is dangerous precedent this is what the NAR actually claim too and look just what a mess it has become. I see you are charismatic cause of the statement you just made and if so then you stand with Copland and the NAR and all that ties in it. I just hear too much of what you just said a total replica from pastor of this movement and this is very dangerous and why people love the teachings of Copland and Bill johnson to NT wright.

If you have to warn someone who is a new believer NOT to go to a church, why would you think it's ok for a mature believer to go there? There's obviously issues that need to be cleaned up before it's wise for anyone to listen to them.

That's exactly what I was thinking as well. If you have to warn anyone about teachings at a church, then something is wrong with that. That says to me the Holy Spirit is not there because there are teachings there that don't line up with scripture. Also, it seems to create this idea that sometimes the Holy Spirit is there and sometimes it's not.

Hey guys. I grew up a charismatic and still am one to this day. I attend a traditionally charismatic church. I use to follow very closely Todd White, who adopts many of the teachings and practices of Bethel and the like. I so appreciate your heart to have grace for these men. It absolutely inspires me. I hope I can have half as much grace for you guys as I write this comment. I have to speak up as a former follower, though, that your pursuit of grace may have you missing some important details that need addressed. When we were learning kenotic Christology back in the day, there was absolutely no indication that Bill interpreted the incarnation the way he says he does today. I would joyfully and zealously pursue this idea that Jesus set aside His entire divinity and was ONLY a man in right relationship with God. I had countless discussions with other followers of Todd White and many lovers of Bethel just celebrating the idea that Jesus wasn’t actually God while on the earth. When Bill started expressing a more orthodox approach to the incarnation, it was extremely confusing to me at the time. We never once thought this was even a consideration. Jesus was not God whatsoever while on the earth, to us at least. And when listening to the Rediscovering Bethel series for the first time, as an optimistic follower of Bethel as I might clarify, I felt as though Bill was constantly contradicting himself, speaking out of both sides of his mouth as some would say. Eventually I came to leave these circles and started testing Bill and the like against the Word and found I was not following correct doctrine. While I love the pursuit of miracles, their views on it so obstructs the call to bring the gospel to the nations. I went to several countries and not once shared the gospel. Why? Because I was taught by Bethel and Todd White that I could DO the gospel. I prayed relentlessly for miracles and healing over others, telling others that Jesus loved them without even a step towards sharing the gospel, because I thought I already shared it by my deeds. I believed my works were the power unto salvation because that’s what I was taught for years. These guys aren’t just sloppy with wording proper theology, but they’re also incredibly sloppy when it comes to attempting to either repent or clear the air of misunderstanding. They have been incredibly reckless with shepherding the flock and, though they may still be Christians, their theology and their practices are so bad that absolutely NO ONE should be going to their services. Please consider my words, viewers. Do not consider them as proper spiritual guides whatsoever. They do get a good amount right, but what they get wrong is so detrimental and so sneaky that we need them to clearly repent before considering them as qualified teachers again. Distinct difference, I’m not saying they aren’t Christian. They are not qualified to lead anyone. Please please at least consider what I am saying. You hardly have an inkling of an idea of how these men and women’s teachings utterly wrecked my walk and my life. For them to invite Kenneth to teach destroys my heart, and I grieve for them and for their church. It speaks volumes, and I’m absolutely terrified they’ve learned close to nothing the past few years. I want to be fair, the same as you guys at Remnant. There’s so much more I could share, but I’ll relent for the sake of not confounding my own message.

@@WontonDisciple I can see that you're sincere, but again you aren't showing what he said that goes against the Word. He is allowed to grow and learn over years like the rest of us. Leaders are still students in the Word. The Word makes it clear to me although there are many layers to revelatory insight that Yeshua was fully God and fully man. He had to do everything as a man to show us the WAY. The OT prophecies about the coming Messiah refer to Him as as Everlasting Father. Christ was slain before the foundation of the world. Have u seen the Hebrew meaning of the names given in the first genealogy? "Man appointed mortal sorrow. The blessed God shall come down teaching and giving peace to the who suffer." Pray for understanding and deeper insight. Don't assume a teacher is bad because you may not have studied to show yourself approved and may be confused.

I'm not saying disfellowship them or call them apostate. I'm simply desiring them to step down from leadership for the time being until these things can be cleaned up. And people should avoid listening to it until that happens. I was once a part of this culture, it is invasive, it is powerful, and it is designed to be spread to other churches.

I've been in ministry for 40+ years and in the early days I was a follower of Copeland. I would get up every Sunday morning and turn on the "Believer's Voice of Victory" with my notepad and order his cassette tapes, and also supported his ministry monthly (and I'm still not wealthy :) ). One Sunday morning he had the audience get up and stretch before he continued his message (because his intro could be 2 hours) and suddenly his eyes started blazing like fire, he stepped up toward the crowd and yelled, "Well, Lord God! I didn't dismiss the thing!" Maybe they had a plane to catch, maybe they had another appointment, maybe they had heard enough but were kind enough to wait for a break. Whatever the case there was no excuse for embarrassing those people in front of a stadium full of people. I then started examining his teaching and looking more closely at his scriptural references. That "equal with God" teaching isn't new. Phillipians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="125">2:5</a>,6 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (And this is where he would stop, saying that this is also how we should think also). But if you take out the verse numbers you see he stopped mid sentence. The following verses say, "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT COPELAND WAS SAYING. It is a call to obedient humility.

I know many faithful Christ followers who followed Copeland and the whole word of faith movement. I ask them now many are very old and some have gone to be with the Lord. But i question them and show them things and ask for feedback. what is said to me, over and over, is that it was different back then. He used to be good. It was a different time. I’ve never heard him teach that? That must be new. Maybe he has dementia. See these people are to old. Why don’t they retire. Another big one is - I didn’t hear it that way. I don’t think he means it the way you heard. Surely now. In my day we didn’t misunderstand so much. And in my day the preaching was more clear and they covered what they didn’t mean. So what I have maybe observed is that it changed somewhat.. not sure but I’m open to believing gradually over time the teaching has become mixed and people are weak and let success ruin them.

Some will be offended by the word of God. Some are willing to believe only so much. I used to be that one. I was 50 and all alone at home praying my heart out for my marriage and God put the Holy Spirit into me and I was "slain" or humbled to the floor. I was changed completely. My heart was replaced and I saw what forgiveness really was. It is in the heart and we have to be able to love the person like Jesus loves them! We can with the anointing. We need to humble ourselves and ask the Lord to help us obey Christs commandments and make us into who he made us to be. I had no idea we could walk in the anointing and that people would also fall under it just for being near me. I have had entire stores laughing like it was a Rodney Brown meeting. I had never seen a Rodney Brown meeting at the time. I had not been exposed to any of these teachers. I never saw these healings and miracles in my churches over almost 50 years but it was like something changed. I thought I must be the only one as I knew no one who had this happen to them, My anxiety was cured. My PTSD was cured. My marriage was uplifted and my wife and I became like honeymooners. This all happened in one day 3 years ago! The miracles have not stopped since. I think many misunderstand hat is being taught in what they call "word of faith" and it is the reason they gave it a name instead of calling it teaching from the Bible. I did not read my Bible enough. I started 3 years ago and have read it going on the 6th time already this year alone. I can not get enough of Gods word and there was so much to catch up on. I do see mistakes or errors in most ministries I did not see before. People who are used in these gifts can have a hard time grasping what they are supposed to do with them. I learned the gift only works when God calls us to act. It works when the gospel is being taught and the Lord is being worshipped and people believe. Look at what happened to the guy from teh Jesus revolution. He was rejected by the church over what the Lord was doing and he was rejected by society for being a Christian. The devil used people he trusted to discourage him. I see how the devil uses pastors to discourage people getting into ministry sometimes. Pastors I never expected could be used like that. At the same time we need to be careful never to exaggerate and humans can do it without thinking sometimes. We have to be truthful and we have to have our hearts right with the Lord. I have seen some get excited and prophecies about others but they did not see they were speaking curses saying they got a vision the person was going to get sick or get divorced and when we speak those things we can disturb people or tempt them to worry.

Johnson himself doesn’t say healing is guaranteed. However, he does say that those who attempt to witness without His power (a key component of His prescribed methods [charismata] for the breaking in of His Kingdom Come). Not having His power “on us” makes us not functionally witnesses in the way Jesus Himself clearly lays out at the end of Luke 24 and beginning of Acts 1.

@@judahdawkins9635 Fair enough. The exact quote was "I refuse to develop a theology that allows for sickness.", and the belief that God would cause or allow sickness is a false gospel, per Johnson.

This is just as relevant today as it was a year ago when ya'll released this. Maybe even more relevant. I watched a friend pray after their child had died to come back to life like Lazarus did. Bethel leads people down that path. The path that says we can pray away anything and manifest anything if we pray hard enough. I believe in miracles, it's a miracle I am still alive but the emotional drama that Bethel cultivates is crazy. I could go on but I end with this. Father forgive me where I fail you, forgive me where I get it wrong, forgive these teachers who teach wrong. Purify me and them so that we become more like you every second of every day.

This utterly blows my mind as this book is WAY out in left field, encouraging believers to investigate New Age teachings and take back the truths therein for God's Kingdom along with more fatuous nonsense about quasi-quantum physics, new paradigms of communication (vibrations, sound, energy, light), etc. My journey to finding salvation in Jesus Christ took me first through the world of New Age teachings, Eastern Religions, the Occult, etc. Thankfully I quickly discerned that was not where I would find the answers I was looking for, and was wonderfully led to the Truth. That a church would put forward this kind of extremely dangerous (and in many ways perfectly bizarre) teachings reveals that something is very, very wrong there.

@@danielbarker1450 the book is about walking in the supernatural with God. The spirit realm is where God lives and moves, angels and the Holy Spirit. One time I was sleeping at a hotel and had an experience where a man of God came to me and lay hands on me and prayed for me and gave me a word, but it was in the spirit I knew he lived in the city I was visiting, I did not know him personally. In the new age it would be called Astro projection, in the Lord it was a prophet ministering to me in the spirit, his spirit came to me in my hotel, that’s a powerful kingdom gift. Lots of the new age practices are just a demonic counterfeit of Gods true spiritual gifts.

Was it a "prophesy" to begin with? A lot of these so called "prophesies" look a lot like pagan fortunetelling or pagan "psychic" practices (which is not only forbidden but an abomination in God's eyes). When we think of prophesy we must look to God's Word to understand what it is. ALL prophesy points people to the Lord in some way. This can be done through calls to repentance (like a lot of the OT prophets did...they called people and nations to repentance and also toward the one true God!). Or they point people toward God, like the hundreds of prophesies about the coming Messiah! And there are others that are so specific that when they are fulfilled, there is no way it could have been prophesied so specifically unless it was God! (Eg) the prophesy about the city of Tyre!) And this will help both Christians and non-Christians see God's omniscience and omnipotence. And then there are prophesies which are pastoral - which give hope to those in the future to keep holding onto their faith through the most difficult times. A lot of these are found in the book of Revelation. There will be some very difficult times (the most difficult), especially for Christians, and God has foretold what will happen, so that Christians can know for certain, that God is in control, and that He is real, and that He is faithful and will keep His promises, so if Christians keep their faith through the darkest times (even unto death), that God will be with them! THAT is the purpose and the means of Biblical Prophesy! Not a prediction or fortune telling that "oh Kenneth copeland will be in cahoots with so and so in the future." That just seems more like a prediction. And most likely comes from an educated guess of someone seeing KC and Bethel church being so close in their styles that they will prob end up collaborating in the future at some point.

I don’t understand that. In addition, when Bill discusses Jesus being man dependent on God. He makes the equation that we can be exactly like him as people filled with the same spirit dependent on God. I’ve heard this argument in the same way that we will do greater things than Jesus as we can be like him being filled with the same spirit. Is this not wrong?

This is just my opinion, but I am surprised by your take on Bethel. I do appreciate people reserving judgment and being slow to judge, especially to other belivers. However, I had a true conversion and the power of Christ lifted me from the grave and misery of sin. I believe in the true a pure experience, and power that is in the ministry of the Holy Spirit. But as soon as I became a Christian, I was thrust into the world of the charasmatic. I was part of an organization who's guest speakers were these people and their beliefs. I was fully immersed in this for a number of years. And now, after witnessing countless people turn against Christ and the faith from this camp, and I myself went through a turmoul with this, I can no longer even entertain the thought that these movements are "brothers". I absolutely believe true Christians reside in these churches but their teachings ultimately undermine the essence of faith..and to me that is the key to all of it. They distort faith, which actually leaves you desperate. Their teaching on faith are so very skewed and backward to the faith the Bible portrays. Also, they teach you to heavily rely in the way you feel, and this is just a tragic error that shipwrecks so many people. Additionally, how many times must an organization be called out for near heresy and continue in such a way? You guys say that there is some agreement there, but of course there is, there has to be in order for the more dangerous teachings to undermine the truth. They do have fantastic music and many of their songs are christ centered, but I challenge myself to forget the songs for a time and focus in the Bible and fellowship with truth. I can say now, that the language and tone of truth seem to me so opposed to what I have years in betgak that I can no longer tolerate their teachings. And as for copeland, what needs to be said. The man is wicked and it isn't even ambiguous, its plain to see. It seems to me that people like Kenneth are no accident, I doubt repentance is even fit for their state. They seem to be a purposeful rebellion to Gid and truth, a truly deep level of deception and evil. Kenneth has been deceiving and stealing money from the poor for a lot of years. Promising and increase in their lives while living in mansion and luxury hotels...

Joshua Lewis said, “They are taking ownership of areas of error.” Perhaps when it is inconsequential to do so. Last night I had an hour-long conversation with a couple that lost their daughter to Bethel Sozo over a decade ago when she experienced false recovered memories during a session. A few years ago, I had a similar conversation with a couple from Australia. They lost their daughter the same way to Bethel Sozo. I lost a family member there also. Last month, I interviewed a man that has spoken to hundreds with similar experiences. Who cares about grave-soaking and whether they have corrected it? These families want their children back but reluctant to complain publicly. Most of these false recovered memories result in accusations of sexual abuse. Many will assume anyone that goes public guilty, and it will probably push their lost children farther away. It’s a lose lose therefore remains hidden. When is Bill Johnson going to “correct” this ongoing nightmare? I have documented proof he is aware of this problem. We are talking hundreds of families torn apart. How many is enough?

I believe this may have to do with Johnsons invitation to Copelands conference some months back.

It is nonetheless important to remain level headed and not be given so easily to our passions like much of the culture today.

There is a difference between people who may be charismatic, baptist etc and they may all have slightly different beliefs about secondary issues, and we still fellowship with them and call them brothers and sisters in Christ. But when it comes to serious issues of salvation we need to stand strong and speak the truth! And what you said about 7th day Adventists (and other similar situations) and the enormity of the difference and that it undermines the indescribable love and sacrifice of our Lord and Savior was spot on! This is like how Mormans will INSIST that they are Christians (they will fight you tooth and nail on that), but they simply are not. They say they "beleive in Jesus" and that "Jesus died on the cross" etc, but the Jesus they beleive in is RADICALLY different than the Jesus of the Gospels! The Jesus they beleive in doesn't have the power to save because their Jesus is not God. And so we cannot call them Christians and we cannot fellowship with them as if they are!

The Physics of Heaven is far more than a "concern"; it's another religion. It is not biblical Christianity. And no matter whether it's still in their bookstore, it has Bill Johnson's and Kris Vallotton's names on it. They believe the abominations of that book. Books like that make doctrinal statements worthless. One of the things that book claims is that faith is a force that God used to create, and therefore we can use the same force to speak things into existence just like God did. That's one of the heresies you called out Copeland for. It's consistent with the religion of the serpent: "you will be like God." It's consistent with Copeland's deification of man. You can add this to his list: "You're all God. You don't have a God living in you; you are one! ... When I read in the Bible where God tells Moses, 'I AM,' I say, 'Yah, I am too!'" So it's not just guilt by association; they're in the same doctrinal camp. And even if it were merely association, that in itself is something to be guilty of. The Bible commands us to avoid false teachers (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="977">16:17</a>, 2 John 10); therefore it's not just guilt BY association, it's guilt OF association. And we're not talking a podcast interview or appearing at the same conference; Bill Johnson heartily, glowingly welcomed an arch-heretic into his pulpit. That is implicit affirmation of Copeland's heresies. Until he openly repudiates them, he's responsible for exposing his flock to them, just as if he had preached them himself.

I know this video is a year old, but I just found it, so I'll comment now :) Just want to mention Andrew Wommack as a Word of Faith preacher who seems to be getting this issue right. What Wommack teaches is that when we were born again we received the Holy Spirit so that our Spirit is exactly like God's, but our bodies and our souls still need sanctification. So Wommack is quite radical in saying that our spirit is equal with God's Spirit, but we need to fight the good fight of faith in order for the Spirit to renew our souls and bodies. And he is never claiming that we are in the process of becoming equal with God. Thoughts on this?

I feel like the evangelical critics paint ALL word of faith teachers / believers as embracing that crazy idea. It causes me to wonder what else they get wrong about Pentecostal believers. On the subject of the snake lifted up as a symbol of Jesus carrying our sin, I felt that Rountree should have explained it more thoroughly, because even if Copeland has used the wrong terminology, calling sin and judgement “Satan” etc., it is an important type of Calvary, and completely linked to Jesus’ prayers in the Garden. Repeatedly over the years I hear sermons misunderstanding Jesus’ experience described in Gethsemane. I would like to hear a show on this subject by The Remnant.

Guilty by association here is actually a biblical concept- 1 cor 5- "But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

Having a guy preach from your pulpit really feels like an endorsement and I have a major problem with them having Copeland there. I think Bethel does some good things and they do some questionable things. This one was super suspect. I do have respect for Bill Johnson even though I don't agree with him on everything. I wish they would tighten things up at their church and be more careful about what they are allowing in and around them.

As a strategy, it's a good play if you are in the goat farming game to not defend your errors but to issue obfuscating confessions whilst still selling the books and earning click income from the videos and not giving the retraction/confession/correction equal exposure in comparison to the original error/mis-speaking/mis-communication. It's a great way to just keep the misinformation machine rolling while throwing enough humble pie around to placate those who would endeavor to find the best while being willfully blind to the general unreliable nature of the institution. Too much poop in the brownie, for sure.

I understand the effort to love brothers and sisters in Christ with whom we disagree. It’s something we need to do more. But to call someone a brother who regularly supports heresy (in word service, denying it but not changing anything), how do you justify this? Based solely on his introduction before Copeland spoke, Bill Johnson clearly knows who Kenneth Copeland is and what he teaches. He has want to work with him for over a decade, at least. The fact that you would still recommend that some people attend Bethel, despite their disregard for scriptural teaching regarding tongues, prophecy, and more (for example, their support of Todd Bentley as, in Bill Johnson’s words, “something greater than Moses,” using a wizard’s staff to “end racism”) is very concerning. I’m not going to stop watching you guys, you’re doing good work; but I think y’all really missed the mark with this one.

Yes they missed the mark. Promoting New Age is not a minor problem. And “you understood me wrong “ is not true repentance. And the songs of bethel are not almost all orthodox. They are promoting word of faith, speaking things in existence like god etc. Watch Mike winger if you want to know what’s up with bethel.

Additionally, concerning the mystery of godliness… When God said to Adam, “…YOU shall surely die.”, what aspect of Adam died when he ate? Was it his: 1) body, 2) soul, or 3) spirit? ***Pick numba 3, my lawd*** If God said to Adam, “…YOU shall surely die”, and the aspect of Adam’s being that died was his spirit, then does that not reveal how God identifies YOU!?! No wonder why Paul said, “…we regard no one according to the flesh.” Therefore, since God identifies YOU (us) in the spirit, and if the Holy Spirit is sinless, and if 1 Cor. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="377">6:17</a> is true - that we are one spirit with Him - then what does that mean about us in the spirit?! ***Drumroll please*** Correct! That we are sinless! That we are LIKE CHRIST! That we have the nature, power, mind, and Spirit of Jesus! John was right! “…as He is, so are we in this world.” Paul says it another way, in that he explains that he was crucified, buried, and resurrected in Christ SO THAT Christ alone would live through him! To diminish the finished work of Christ in us because of the fear that we will exalt ourselves above the Lord is telling that lies have been whispered. Why shouldn’t we proclaim our position at the right hand of God in Christ Jesus while at the same time abiding in the first love of Christ that keeps us true to the grace that seated us there to begin with? To say that we are the same **in eternality** with Jesus is obvious heresy. To say that we are uncreated is obvious heresy. To be GOD implies to be uncreated… I don’t think Kenneth Copeland is saying that Adam was uncreated. I’m not sure the extent of what his claims are about Adam’s God-ordained authority and power, and I know for sure that Adam WAS subordinate to God (under the authority of God’s rank). I’m not as much speaking towards Kenneth Copeland, but I don’t want to see the brotherhood swing to the other side of the pendulum insomuch that we are rendered ineffective because of a wrongly placed focus on the inferior aspects of our human composition rather than the truly miraculous work of a newly created spirit by His indwelling Presence.

Even Freemason do good things, but they who are evil also like to have the appearance of godliness, and possibly perform the good as a means to mitigate their evil..?

I’ve heard some older people say they like him too. I think they’re from a generation where you just trust blindly. You trust your doctor without question, the news, and the televangelist. I think they believe that televangelists wouldn’t be on TV if they weren’t telling the truth. So I just think those older folks are listening with a trusting, not a discerning ear.

@Always Thinking Josh did consider what Copeland said from the Bethel stage at timecode 2:36-2:57 and it looks like they didn't need to review what he said on the stage in its fullness as they came to the same conclusion: 1) Copeland teaches actual heresy and needs to repent and 2) Bethel Church should apologize for allowing a heretic to speak from their pulpit. That's what you want, yeah? The Remnant Radio not only nailed it on the head, but also did it with a spirit of gentleness (Gal. 6:1). BAM!

​@Always Thinking I hear you. In regards to Rom. 16:17, I am wondering what your response is to Josh and Michael's points at Timecode 17:13-20:30? Using your interpretation of Rom. 16:17, the Apostle Paul should have marked and avoided the church of Corinth, yes? The point is that errors being tolerated in a church does not necessarily mean the entire church is a heretical church that needs to be marked and avoided. The Remnant Radio believes, with sufficient reason, that Bethel Church is a Christian church (Timecode 6:11-6:50, 14:31-14:36) that is tolerating a high frequency of errors, but has potential for further improvement as Bethel Church and Bill Johnson have cleaned up errors in the past (Timecode 7:43-10:30). The goal is to "Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened..." (1 Cor. 5:7) and to restore wandering brothers (Gal 6:1, James 5:19-20) not to disassociate with the entire church if there are areas needing improvement. Rom. 16:17-18 seems to be more for individuals who are intentionally putting obstacles in the way of orthodox Christianity and trying to deceive the naïve through smooth talk and flattery. Michael Rountree makes the point that, "To work at Bethel Church you have to be an orthodox Christian, and so they are trying to promote Christian doctrine and Christian values..." (Timecode 6:28-6:38). So, if Bethel Church is trying to promote orthodox Christian doctrine, it does not fit the Rom. 16:17-18 description. Furthermore, The Remnant Radio is, indeed, being very balanced in their treatment of this discussion. Although they defend Bethel Church as Christian brothers, they certainly aren't recommending Bethel as a safe church (Timecode 18:46-19:04). Again, Josh and Michael appeal to Bethel to apologize for inviting Copeland (even if Copeland preached a perfect sermon w/o heresy from the stage at Bethel, the error would still remain that they invited him to speak at all) [Timecode 47:01-47:30] and they clearly warned other believers to either not watch Bethel at all or to have their discernment way up due to the the high frequency of errors occurring at Bethel (Timecode 14:49-17:12). BAM! LOL lets keep this going :) I would love to continue hearing your thoughts.

Sadly, with Bethel (and mind you I am one who used to support them and KC) they are continually falling into wrong theology and practice. When we continue to fall into wrong unbiblical practices it is clear we are running on fleshly interpretation and intuition instead of being led of the Spirit of God and rightly dividing the word of God. I believe in the power of God and the gifts of the Spirit; but when we continue to gravitate toward kooky ideology and new age ideal that is a real red flag! Prayers for all of them; but will not even consider their teachings or instruction any longer. No, young believers should not go to Bethel or KC ministries.
