The Good; The Bad; And the Ugly |
The GoodBill, I just wanted to thank you for sending the video-The Apostasy the lost sign....My wife and I watched it last night...and found ourselves agreeing -nodding our head and occasionally say- "Yes, that's what we use to do" I was a Charismatic Pastor for 5 years and finally resigned....I could not take the errors any longer- of the Faith Confession movement We are currently in the Nazarene Church and in the process of transferring my credentials. One note, I thought the Nazarene Church would be a "haven" from the Charismatic errors but I was mistaken. Our Pastor- started using Tommy Tenney's book on Wednesday night Bible study- as a spring board to chasing after the "presence of God." I voiced my objection and was criticized- for slandering a "man being used of God." I mean- how could I criticize some one seeking "the presence of God"- MY answer was- I am not criticizing someone seeking the presence of God but I am criticizing someone who defines the presence of God in terms of signs and wonders. My wife mentioned after watching the video- "it's in all the Churches!" That thought really shook me. Keep up the good work- our prayers are with you. Rev Ed K.
Have you ever researched the Women's Faith Movement? It is sweeping the country like a fire. Women are taking in this poison and spreading it to the local churches and teenage girls. Women believe they have a right to Pastor a church. I cannot find that anywhere in the Holy Bible. Women are a help mate to the man. Yes, the Lord can use the women to prophesy. But the women today are so outspoken and bold in the church. There is no submission to men. Also you are exposing TBN, which I encourage you to keep it up. You also need to expose DayStar network. It is just like TBN. To me, it is a circuit where the so called TV ministries can spread their poison and make a lot of money. They go from TBN to DayStar. What is going on today in the name of Jesus Christ is evil and God hates any evil ways and the majority of the Christian's today in the Pentecostal church are taken in by this. You try to help them and tell them why they shouldn't support TBN or DayStar and they lash back at you. But that is to be expected. The Devil gets very mad when he is exposed. If you have written anything on this movement, I would like to read it. I call it the Jezebel Spirit. Thank you, A Christian
I just got the video the Great Apostasy it was well put together I am going to let my pastor see it he doesn’t know how bad it is out there of all the deception going on .I do have a question about my mom said that her church heard angels singing and she played it on the phone to me and it sounded like a tape playing to me and what gave it away when the worship leader said that it was so loud that she could hear it through her ear piece.And the sad thing is my parents are believing it and the entire church I personally don't think God would send his angels to sing in churches and this church claims to be in revival that even gold dust is showing up on stage. Today’s charismatic churches are really going off the wall I hope you can answer my question. In Christ Jesus Timothy L.
My husband and I are Pentecostals and we have recently watched your video, The Great Apostasy. It really brought me to tears because I see these very things happening and it is getting increasingly difficult finding a church that is not following the whims of man, but truly following God. My heart cry is for the pure and unadulterated Word of God. I do speak in tongues, but it is usually when I'm praying and I know the Holy Spirit is leading me. I was appalled one day when I was with some friends, and an unbeliever asked my friend to speak in tongues and she did. I've been questioning what tongues she has. After watching the video, my husband became very confused. He asked me to find out where you got the information you placed on the video. He works with videos and knows that people can alter things on videos. Please help us. We don't know where to go any more. …My husband and I are very confused and almost want to walk away from church altogether. We were faithful viewers of TBN's Praise the Lord until the recent Praise a thon they had, and there were several things that turned us off. One was the give to get a blessing, and the second was when Mark Chironna (supposedly a prophet) claimed he was receiving a word from God that we Christians were going to start controlling the elements. I refuse to turn it on anymore. We live in Florida and alot of the spirit-filled churches are into the faith movement. Thank you. Anonymous
I want to personally thank you for such a fine VCR presentation of the "Great Apostasy". I have watched it over and over again through the 2 years that I have had it in my VCR collection of apostate organizations and teachings. Although I am a researcher also into the Occult and New Age beliefs and their teachings in reference to the gospel, I am always waiting to hear from you about any new VCR tapes that are also of the same quality and accuracy as the "Great Apostasy… Thanks again and God bless you in your new location and position in Texas. Your brother in Christ, L. Wayne H.
Hi Bill and Jackie, I thought "The Great Apostasy" was wonderful, well documented production. I hope you do a sequel that includes some of the prominent women pastors in the word faith movement (Hickey, etc.) I have shown this tape to numerous groups, and it has never failed to rock them down to their foundations completely! Nothing like letting folks see and hear for themselves what these wolves are doing to the flocks! Thanks and God bless your great ministry! Mike
Dear Jackie & Bill Wow! What a powerful message! I have watched it twice. Tonight my wife, Jean, and I watched it together. Upholding the word as you do in this video will certainly provoke backlash and attacks as you no doubt are already keenly aware. I have been telling various people I know about the video including a friend who pastors a little Baptist church. He is now teaching the book of Revelation. I want to give him a copy. He is one of many. Am going to have to make a list of people I want to see the video and order a quantity of them to give away. The phrase that immediately comes to mind after seeing the video is this: " Tell me the lies I want to believe." That seems to be what lots of people want. There seem to be a multitude of false teachers, some of whom appear to be demon influenced ( Benny Hinn ), who are happy to give people false doctrine and enrich themselves in the process. Is somehow the craziness of the Pentecostal movement driven by the same dark forces that appear to be growing stronger and are manifest in spirit channeling, "new age" hocus pocus, tarot card reading, psychics, the UFO culture, and all the rest of what collectively could be called the mystery church Babylon or the "whore" of Babylon? It is my belief that the denomination, The Assemblies of God, is currently undergoing a hideous internal conflict where the forces of greed, power, hubris, and doctrines of demons are prevailing over those who are trying to uphold the Word of God. It is my belief that within this denomination the former will continue to prevail. It hurts my heart to say it, but nevertheless I believe it is so. TBN is just beyond belief. How can these people call themselves Christians? How severely will these people be judged, and how will we be judged for not speaking out against false doctrine and those who teach it? Robert R.

The BadI could scarcely believe my eyes when I read your "review" and condemnation of Brennan Manning and his "Ragamuffin Gospel". Who are you to say he is not a Christian, or even worse a "fake"? I am a big fan of Rich Mullins' music, and if brennan was a friend of Rich's, than that's good enough for me. How can you dare blasphemy the name of the late Rich Mullins and say he was a fake too? The man who wrote "Awesome God", Step by Step, Sing your Praise to the Lord, and many many more? Who still 5 years after his death has hundreds of web sites dedicated to his work and memory? Who didn't want recognition, who told people not to try to find God at concerts, but to go to church where they are loved and read the WORD, and really get to know Jesus? How DARE YOU? Rich loved Jesus with all his heart soul and mind. He gave up his many riches from his recordings, lived on $24,0000 a year or less and lived on an Indian reservation teaching the poor indian children! Now HE'S WHAT I CALL A CHRISTIAN. So much for any credibility you have with me! Do you give up most of your income for the sake of the Lord? I don't think so, but if you do God bless you. Maureen M. K.
I was doing a search on benny hinn and I came across this site. What I can tell you that God has put upon my heart as I see what you are doing....You are not a Judge God is. Let Him deal with these things. We are all sinners...none of us are perfect only Jesus. When things like this come up it is best to pray not persecute but pray. Jesus said to his disciples we most love one another....Christians should help each other love each other and pray for each other. We cannot start to tear down this temple for that means we are against each other and we are not doing the will of God. Thank you may God bless you and do miracles in your life. I love you as does He. Rachel G. M.
Dear Jackie, I find your article to be highly offensive. Though you are correct in bringing out the false stigmatas, i.e. those afflicting themselves with the marks of Christ for personal self gain, you can not deny the evidence of such persons who truly bore the wounds of Christ. Padre Pio was a great Saint who lived a life of love. It is said and remembered that "thou shall not judge." The Catholic faith is the true Church and nothing shall prevail it. For you to call it a "cult" is an absolute apostasy. I am sure you have pure intentions in promoting your cause, though I urge you to pray about what you are fighting against, as we both long to do the will of God. Even at the Billy Graham event, I saw men standing with big signs saying Mr. Graham was a false profit. The people that lived in Jesus's day said that Jesus was a false profit. Are you spending all your energy "exposing" or filling the great commision? Ask a group of 10 men anything and you will get 10 answers. I think Jan Crouch needs a new hairdresser. But she is an example to me that if God can use someone with plastic hair, maybe He can use me. I want to encourage you to find a way to be positive in your quest for hopefully leading people to Christ and not adding stumbling blocks to their path. Be a light unto their path. In Christ's Love, Karen C.
We do not worship Mary, the Blessed Mother. We honor her and pay tribute to her. We also pray to her so she will intercede for us with her son. (I found this website when I was looking for a Mary Statue for my Mary Garden.) Please don't criticize what you don't know about. Kathy R.
Dear Sirs, I am not a follower of any of the men or women that I see here. I would however like to know what makes you think that you have a right to trash them. Remember when Jesus said "he who is without sin cast the first stone"? Before you try to pull your brother's splinter out remove your own log. Don't be pompous enough to think that you have no logs. Now I am not saying that you are wrong! What I am saying is that you need to pray for them not attack them. If they are leading believers astray God will deal with them harshly! You can teach what you believe without bringing up names etc. If you attack a man of God or his ministry God will deal with you harshly. And who are you to judge who is or is not of God? There is something wrong with any ministry that attacks another ministry, plain and simple. -A Man With Logs, ~Mike F.
Dear Ms. get real lady and leave us real catholics alone. is there anything better for you to do other than criticize something good. With all the evil in the world you have to sit there and waste everybody's time with your opinion on something good for Catholic kids. Fight a real fight against something that truly matters in this world and leave us catholics alone. there is something we have where you will sure find what you are looking for. The Blessed Sacrament is Jesus himself and if you are telling the truth about loving catholics maybe you should visit an adoration chapel . Hopefully he will change your doubts about our faith and like Saul you will also see the truth and become a Paul. Spend your time with Jesus in adoration , contemplation, and silence. Let Jesus himself come to you with his love and put your trust in him. We are human we make errors but Jesus himself is all truth and in the Eucharist you will find no deception. He is there waiting for you. Imprisioned by his love for us. So if you were truthful about your affection towards catholics then with that respect I invite you to visit Jesus exsposed in a Holy hour of Adoration. Let the Truth shine on you my Dear . --Margot F.
The UglyDefinition of a fake is someone who cuts down others. Someone who attacks Gods Christians and thinks he is doing a good thing for the world. You are helping people fall away from God so you are helping the devil and you will be held accountable for all the souls you effect. How does it feel working with evil. You don't feel it now but you will in the after life. You will see the souls you caused to fall away and loose hope. I feel sorry for you. Rose
