1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
The man is right on track with the Word. If it makes one think about what they are following and turn then its fruit is good. Deception is everywhere today and those who are not grounded in God's word are subject to deception. Remember, Jesus is the head of the body and no man should assume that role.
I also agree with him that Christ is reaching people of those Congregations in spite of the false preachers.
Agreed. As Jeff Foxworthy would say, 'I are one!' A Christ follower who is in one of these congregations will eventually move on when the Spirit and the Word bear witness to them. A 'man' follower will keep soaking it up.
For me, it took the encouragement of my wife to begin praying and searching and 'testing the spirits' which lead to God opening my own eyes. Thank God for a good woman!
They are indeed a blessing from God.
Paula White's "ministry" responded to Shai Linne in an open letter format and then He (Shai) responded also in the same format. I am not a hip hop or rap fan, so I do not listen to his music, But I was deeply impressed by His letter and the spirit he wrote it in.
