We have been talking about 20th century american christianity.
Where its influences have come form and what they have led to.
It is important to note that not every church are guilty of the things I am talking about and not every church during this time is the reason for the church dieing.
However much of this stuff was common enough that I am confidant that most here have been exposed to a style that was not strictly biblical.
Because some things are not biblical does not necessarily mean it is anti-christ.
Some do have that attitude.
I know Pastors who think the alter call is unbiblical and therfore must be evil.
While I agree that the alter call is not in the pages of scripture, it was 19th century invention, i do not go to that extreme.
Not at all, I have no problem with people wanting to come to the alter so long as you understand that walking up does not save you nor make you righteous.
Jesus saves you, Jesus makes you righteous, not you walking up to the alter.
I have had more of a focus on the fundmentalist and the free gracers.
In the sermon that introduced all of this I also brought up emotionalism but we have not explored that yet.
I was saving that one for today.
Before I do, please note that when I use the phrase emotionalism, I am not saying that we should be without emotion.
I am talking about a movement dominate in the 20th century that manipulated emotions to make people think that it was the Holy Spirit.
I dont want my words to be taken as demeaning so I choose emotionalism over other words that others prefer to use.
The reason for that is the emotionalism is the fastest growing movement within Christianity for the last 150 years.
It has tapered off and started to decline but for the most part, growth.
and because it has been so widespread, some of you may have been raised in it, or influenced by it.
I dont know, but I want to be sensitive to those of you who may have history with what we are talking about.
And by sensitive, I mean i am not going to result to name calling as some do.
But I will be honest and unfourtanly, emotional movement has wrapped their entire identity into said movement.
And because so many have done that, many have an intense emotional response.
Not surprising right?
Its not easy speaking to these people because my words cut deep with them.
Its never my intention, but it is often the result.
So sensativity with honesty.
The emotionalism movement is the charismatic movement.
Some believe this movement began with pentocostalism, is did not.
It began with what is called the radical reformation.
There was several different small groups around during the reformation that believed, Rome is wrong, Luther is wrong, along with Calvin and zwingly.
So there were things like uniterianism, which is a rejection of the Trinity.
And at the time was illeagl to teach such view.
The largest group of radical reformers was called the anabaptists.
Some have argued that the anabaptists are the baptists today, or our line, historically speaking, comes from them.
Nope.
If we are tracing baptist history to the reformation it goes to John Calvin before it goes to the Anabaptists.
The name means re baptisers and if you need to find a modern day version of anabaptits it is found within three groups.
The Amish, the menonites and the hutterites.
Today they are not known for emotionalism.
That kind of faded from them.
People over in america did read about them and how they were inspired by spirtual mysticim.
Which is where a lot of this came from.
then poof an offical movment was birthed in the first couple years of the 1900’s call pentocostalism.
And that movement has many diffrent extreams, they all do not function on the same page.
You have very mild forms, to very extreme.
While some practice things that are concerning, it is more of their doctrine that is concerning.
And it is my beleif that if their doctrine was correct, the practices would be corrected as well.
I believe the same about the catholic church.
I think if they can get the doctrine of salvation right, all their other bizaare stuff will begin ti disapear.
Let me share with you all some doctrine of the emotionalists.
Lets begin with Todd Bentley.
This man is a former biker, or at least that is what he says.
I, personally dont believe a word out of his mouth.
He could be telling the truth but the man lies so much that I just dont believe what he has to say.
This man did “revivals” and often traveled.
He had a healing ministry, and would do bizzare signs in the name of the holy spirit.
Now Todd and his crew would have Holy Seziurs.
They would violently shake on the ground.
They would alos have Holy Laughter.
This is where you break out in uncontrolable laughter, you cant contain yourself.
The key word is uncontrolable.
Because Todd Bently likes to preach with a hand mic.
But he always manages to control the mic perfectly in his hand when things are uncontrolable.
Its bogus, he wants you to hear something you’ll hear it.
That is not the worst about this man.
oh far from it.
As previously stated, the man has a healing ministry.
This man said that a crippled woman came on his stage.
She was in a wheel chair and he asked God how is he going to heal those crippled legs and God told Todd to smack her legs on the stage like a baseball bat.
His words: Of course she was healed.
And of course, this was a story.
No witnesses, except paid staff.
He told another story about seeing an old woman worshipping in the front row with her hands raised.
God toled him to go and kick her in the face.
So he went and kicker in the face with his biker boot.
Got her right on the nose he said and then said she fell under Gods power right then and there.
What does that mean todd?
you kicked an old lady in the face and now she is under the power of God… Sounds like you killed her todd, but again.. Story.
The guy has tons of stories including raising the dead.
The man is always raising the dead.
This man has so many videos of himself on his facebook page, he always has his phone with him where he is always posting some video up, never has them when raising the dead.
There are several videos of him kneeing people in the stomach and people needing help up after he has done it, but of course no actual healings.
There is another man, named todd white.
This guy does street healing.
He ask people what pains or sores they have.
Everyone has back pain, I caused pain in my back by a sneaze, on more than one occasion.
Everyone has back pain.
Todd White tells people you may or may not know this but you have one leg slightly shorter than the other.
I can cause your leg to grow.
Camerman gets at an angel where we see one leg half in inch lower.
The man prays and grows the leg where the camerman gets a different angle.
He is literally pulling their leg.
By the way, that is an old street magician trick.
Todd white called Kennith copeland his mentor and spiritual father.
Kennith Copeland- after he said that about kennith, Kennith said you all need to send him some money.
All of these guys do it because of a major pioneer for them.
