PENTECOSTALISM -
100 YEARS

THE CREAM OF THE CROP

CHAPTER  1

At the turn of the 20th century,
Pentecostalism was born an infant church by the baptism of the Holy Ghost in
1906. One hundred years have elapsed since God sent that revival at 312 Azusa St., Los
Angeles, California U.S.A. When God sent that
revival, it shook the world, and Los
Angeles, the city of angels, became very popular,
around the world. However, they were not without persecutions from the rest of the unbelieving world. They were
despised, hated and rejected, both by religious and non-religious people.
Nevertheless, she waxed stronger and stronger each day. In one hundred years,
she has grown into one of the greatest religious powers, and now ranks with the
greater denominational churches, established before her: Roman Catholics,
Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodist, Baptist etc.

19,000,
000: “Estimated numbers of
Pentecostals vary widely. Christianity Today reported in an article
titled World Growth
at 19 Million a Year.”

“25 percent of the world's Christians are Pentecostal or
charismatic.”

400 – 600 million:  “The
highest estimates place the figure between 400 and 600 million.”

11,000: “There are about 11,000 different pentecostal or
charismatic denominations worldwide.
Pentecostalism is sometimes referred to as the "third force of
Christianity.”

780,000: “The largest Christian church in the world is the Yoido Full Gospel Church in South Korea,
a Pentecostal church. Founded and led by David  (Paul)
Yonggi Cho since 1958, it had 780,000 members in 2003. Chinese believers on
the mainland headquarters are now in Taiwan. The Apostolic Church
is the fastest growing church in the world. Pentecostalism is the world's fastest-growing Christian movement.”  Source of info.: (Wikipedia, the

MILLIONS
OF SOULS SAVED

Pentecostalism, from her infancy, was used of God to
usher millions of souls into the kingdom of God. Revivals after revivals were born,
outpouring after outpouring of the Holy Spirit showered from Heaven. Great
revivalists and servants of God arose from that mighty move of God. One of the greatest  revivals was born in 1946. It shook
the world by mighty servants of God, gifts
of healing, and mighty signs and wonders.

Early
Leaders are: Maria
Woodworth-Etter, Smith Wigglesworth, Charles Fox Parham, William J. Seymour, Bishop Johnson, William
Sowders, George Jeffreys, Aimee Semple McPherson, David du Plessis, Kathryn
Kuhlman,
Jack Coe, A. A. Allen, Oral Roberts, Rex Humbard the first successful TV
evangelist of the mid 1950s, 1960s, and the 1970s and at one time had the
largest television audience of any televangelist in the U.S.

The 1946/47 international revival which originated with the
renowned evangelist, W. M. Branham and lasted the longest ever in history ended
in the early sixties. The flames of fire slowly went out from 1962. That event
paved the way for the fulfillment of many Bible prophecies.

Pentecostalism was ordained of
God to fulfill some of the greatest prophecies in the end time. She has spread
her wings to the cardinal points of
the globe, in might and power, wealth and riches, popularity and fame. Her
greatness is too enormous to
reiterate. Paper and ink are insufficient to document all her achievements and
successes for the pass one hundred years. Nevertheless, certain important
factors must be documented in this work to enlighten the world concerning her
tremendous part in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies.

WORD OF
FAITH REVIVAL- MODERN PENTECOSTALISM

Another mighty Pentecostal revival arose only a few years
after the revival fires of 1946/47 went out. It was termed the “third
wave”, 1906 being the first wave and 1946/47 the second wave. The father of this modern movement was Mr.
Kenneth Hagin and E.W. Kenyons

Quote: It was known as “Word of Faith, also known as Word-Faith
or simply Faith.

It is a
movement within Pentecostal and charismatic churches worldwide. Its
central doctrine is that health and prosperity are promised to all believers,
and are available through faith.” “Other names, reflecting major aspects of
the movement, include "Name it and claim it", "The Prosperity Gospel", and
"Positive Confession".

“Word-Faith
teachings trace their roots to E. W. Kenyon
(1867-1948), a New England evangelical
pastor who taught that health and finances were the right of every believer who
would claim the promises of Scripture through faith. Kenyon claimed God's promises were
realized by our believing and verbally confessing the relevant scriptures, and
thus he coined the phrase, "What I confess, I possess."

“Pentecostal
preacher Kenneth Hagin (1917-2003), of Tulsa Oklahoma,
was heavily influenced by Kenyon's writings, and began teaching the same
doctrines as early as the 1930s. Hagin is often referred to as being the
"father" of the modern Word-Faith movement. He elaborated on Kenyon's
theology of confession, preaching a four-part formula for receiving God's
promises: "Say it; do it;
receive it; tell it."

“Other
preachers in Tulsa
were mentored by "Dad" Hagin, and began to preach the same doctrines.
The most prominent of these is Kenneth
Copeland.

“Proponents of the doctrine in the United States
include Creflo Dollar, Frederick K. C. Price, Benny Hinn,
Joel Osteen,
Marilyn
Hickey, Rod Parsley, Jesse
Duplantis, Oral Roberts, Joyce Meyer,
John Avanzini
and Keith Butler,
among others. Many of these pastors appear regularly on Trinity Broadcasting Network, whose
founders and directors Paul and Jan Crouch
are also proponents of the Word-Faith doctrine.

“In Australia, Pastor Brian Houston of Hillsong Church and Evangelist Tim Hall
promote Word-Faith doctrine. In South Africa, Ray McCauley
is the movement's chief proponent, and in the United Kingdom, Clive Pick
and Paul Scanlon are among the main
Word-Faith preachers. Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word-of-Faith.

SUCCESS OF MODERN PENTECOSTALISM

MR. HAGIN – COPELAND - CROUCH

Pentecostalism, by “word of faith”
movement, and dad Hagin, K. Copeland and Paul Crouch greatly inspired many
evangelists. It removed them from the old-fashioned gospel tent meetings, to
the radio and television network.
Hundreds of millions of souls could now be reached in their very homes. The
Trinity Broadcasting Network is the greatest media of them all. The third wave
movement grew and prospered by leaps and bounds in such a manner that seems
incredible. However, Bible prophecies are being fulfilled by the
instrumentality of Pentecostalism. This will be discussed in later chapters of
this book. She is hailed as the third force of Christianity.

Pentecostalism,
by the third wave, became a mighty force, insomuch that her influence reached
into other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church. Priests and
church members confessed that they were receiving the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. They speak in tongues and experience the gifts of the Spirit, with
divine healing. From this great achievement the catholic charismatic movement
was born in Pennsylvania USA. Statistics of 2003 claims a membership of 119 million in 238 countries. Oral
Roberts is one of the great leaders of that movement.

PROSPERITY REVIVAL

The Word of faith movement laid a solid foundation for
preaching healing and prosperity of most preachers of Pentecostalism. Most of
them are millionaires and several are billionaires.
Many preachers were influenced and received their qualifications from Oral Roberts
University. K. Copeland
and Hagin himself fall into this category.

“Hagin
never received any formal theological training of any kind. His doctorate was honorarily given by Oral Roberts University in the 1970s.  Hagin was considered by his followers
to be a dynamic preacher,
teacher, and prophet,
known for preaching healing and prosperity through searching God’s word
and believing God in faith for financial gifts, then claiming and receiving
them by faith…”
“However, walking in love was a priority message throughout his
ministry.

“Since its
inception, his organization, Kenneth Hagin Ministries, grew to include
numerous media
outreaches and ministries.  These
include Faith Library Publications, with 65
million book copies in print; RHEMA Praise”, a weekly television
program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network; “Faith
Seminar of the Air”, a radio program heard on many stations nationwide
and on the Internet; “The Word of Faith”, a free monthly magazine
with roughly 250,000 subscribers; crusades conducted throughout the nation;
RHEMA Correspondence Bible School; and the RHEMA Prayer and Healing
Center.” Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/.

KENNETH COPELAND

“Kenneth Copeland (born December 6, 1936 in Lubbock,
TX)
is a Pentecostal Word of Faith
preacher
and televangelist.”

“Kenneth Copeland claimed
to be a successful pop singer before turning his life over to ministry work
following his conversion on November 2, 1962. In the 1960s, he was a pilot
for faith healer
Oral Roberts. Copeland
attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa,
Oklahoma,
but never graduated. Later he studied under another Pentecostal evangelist, Kenneth E.
Hagin. His ministry grew through the 1970s, and in 1979,
“Believer’s Voice of Victory”
first appeared on television.”

“Kenneth Copeland
Ministries has its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Since 1991,
Copeland and his wife, Gloria, have been holding annual week-long
“Believers’ Conventions” in both California
and Texas.
His recent regular preaching partners at these events have been Creflo A.
Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, and Jerry Savelle.”

“He is considered one of
the founding members of the Word of Faith movement.”

“Copeland’s teachings incorporate both “Classical
Pentecostalism”, with its emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit,
including speaking in
tongues, as well as elements of Faith theology.

“He teaches that prosperity
and riches are promised to every
believer, and can be gained by faith. Faith is a “force”, activated
by “confession”, i.e. speaking the words of God.” Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/.

Both Hagin and Copeland inspired thousands by the Holy
laughter and drunkenness revival. More on that supernatural move later in this
chapter.

TRINITY
BROADCASTING NETWORK – TBN – PAUL CROUCH

A way was supernaturally created for the Word of faith
movement to circle the Globe. It paved the way for millions to share in that
great revival. It is called TBN.

“Paul
Franklin Crouch (born March 29, 1934) is the co-founder, chairman, and president of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the
world's largest Christian television network. The network has grown to 47
satellite stations and 12,500 affiliates, reaching nearly 100,000,000 households globally.”

“The Chronicle of Philanthropy in 2004 reported
Crouch's annual personal income as $403,700…” “Crouch has
produced products for TBN such as books and videos that account for a portion
of his income.”  Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Paul_Crouch.

“The Trinity
Broadcasting Network…Founded by Paul and Jan Crouch in 1973, the
network now has a larger U.S.
viewership than its three main competitor networks combined. It owns
twenty-three U.S. full-power television stations and 252 low-power rural
stations, and boasts five million viewer households per week in the U.S. TBN is
carried on over six thousand television stations in the U.S., and on thousands
of cable television systems in seventy-five countries around the world, where
its programs are translated into eleven languages.

TBN generates $170 million in revenue
annually.  It does not air commercials;
rather, two-thirds of its revenue comes from viewer contributions and one-third
from other televangelists' payments for running their programming.  Its $120 million donation revenue is
larger than any other television ministry.
It has posted average annual surpluses since 1997 of about $60
million.  It holds two week-long
fundraising telethons per year, as well as numerous other solicitation
drives.  It maintains a direct mail
database of 1.2 million names.  As
of 2002, it boasted $583 million in assets, including $238 million in
government-backed securities and $31 million in cash. Also among its assets are
a $7.2 million Canadair Turbojet and thirty houses in California,
Texas and Ohio with values ranging up to $8
million.  The elder Crouchs and their
son Paul Jr. earn an estimated combined annual income of $850,000.”

TELEVANGELISTS
OF MODERN PENTECOSTALISM  INSPIRED
THE WORLD

“Dr. John C. Hagee (born April 12,
1940) is the founder and
senior pastor
of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio,
Texas,
a non-denominational evangelical
church with more than 18,000 active members.

“Hagee
is the President and CEO of John Hagee Ministries which telecasts his
national radio and television ministry carried in America on 160 T.V. stations,
50 radio stations, eight networks and can be seen weekly in 99 million homes.
John Hagee Ministries is in Canada
on the Miracle Channel and CTS, and can be seen in Africa, Europe, Australia,
New Zealand
and is in most Third World nations.”

“Dr. Frederick
K. C. Price (3 January
1932-): “The Ever
Increasing Faith Ministries program reaches more than 15 million households
each week and airs in 15 of the 20 largest markets throughout the United
States, according to recent Nielson ratings.”

“Dr. Price is the author of
some 50 books on
faith, healing, prosperity, and the Holy Spirit. "How Faith Works" is
a classic book on the operation of faith and its life-changing principles. He
has sold over 2.1 million books since 1976.”

“Rod
Parsley: World Harvest Church:
“In 1977, Parsley's seventeen person bible study formed the Sunset
Chapel, and later Word of Life Church in Canal Winchester,
Ohio. His church has grown into
the current World
Harvest Church
which now encompasses 400,000 square feet (37,000 m²) and has a 400 person
staff. The church's main property now comprises 132 acres.

“Jim And Tammy Bakker: James Orson Bakker (born January 2,
1939). “Teaming with
Paul
and Jan Crouch,
the Bakkers created the "Praise the Lord" show for the Crouchs' new Trinity Broadcasting Network in California.”

“By the
early 1980s
the Bakkers had built Heritage USA (in Fort Mill, south of Charlotte), then the
third most successful theme park in the US, and a satellite system to
distribute their network 24 hours a day across the country. Annual
contributions requested from viewers were estimated to exceed $1,000,000 a
week, with proceeds to go to expanding the theme park and mission of PTL.
Eventually, Jerry Falwell with the backing of a $20,000,000
drive took control of the PTL.[1]”

“Between
1984 and 1987, the Bakkers received annual salaries of $200,000 each and Jim
awarded himself over $4,000,000 in
bonuses. Their assets at that time included a $600,000 house in Palm Springs,
four condominiums in California, and a Rolls Royce. In their success, the Bakkers took
conspicuous consumption to an unusual level for a non-profit
organization.”

“Jimmy Lee Swaggart (born March 15,
1935 in Ferriday, Louisiana) is a Fundamentalist Christian preacher and pioneer of televangelism who reached the height
of his popularity in the 1980s. During the 1970s,
Swaggart established a lucrative ministry under the Assemblies of God, which in the 1980s
was estimated to make over $150 million
per year. Quote: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

“Benny
Hinn, is one of today's best-known televangelists.

“His theology is based largely on that of the Word-Faith movement, with
a heavy emphasis on the so-called "Prosperity
Gospel." His teachings, behavior and practices have made him
controversial among Christians and non-Christians alike.”

“Today
he is known as Pastor Benny. Without doubt he is one of the best known and possibly richest televangelists in the world.
Each year he travels the world conducting so-called miracle healing crusades
that are very closely patterned to a rock concert tour.”

“He
produces a daily television show called “This is Your Day” from his
studios based in California and has written several books about his life and
ministry, which he markets and sells, along with video tapes of his crusades,
music CDs and bibles.”

“Benny Hinn is also a proponent of the Prosperity
Gospel or the Word of Faith movement. As
is implied by the name "Prosperity Gospel" the supporters believe
that faith works as a mighty power or force. That it is through their faith
that they can obtain anything they want – such as health, wealth, or any
form of personal success. However, this force is only released through their
faith. According to Pastor Benny if a person expresses their faith by sowing a
sufficient monetary seed into his ministry - that person will be granted divine
physical healing. Quote: Apologetics
research resources: http://www.apologeticsindex.org/h01.html.

According to investigations by Trinity Foundation, the
income of Benny Hinn’s ministry averages two to three hundred million,
annually.

Benny
Hinn, pastor and prophet, is so “anointed of the Spirit” that by
the lift of his hands, people plunge to the floor in a helpless state, by the
blowing of his breath they fall backwards, by the touch of his hands they are
slain to the ground, and last but not least, the congregation fall backwards by
the swing of his jacket and those who are on the platform do the same by the
lash of his jacket.

AZUSA STREET AND
MODERN WOMEN PREACHERS

“Women
leaders were prominently connected with establishment of the influential AZUSA STREET MISSION
in California, 1905 were a woman, Lucy
Farrow conducted her own preaching campaigns in Virginia,
Liberia,
and other places. Neely Terry, who invited Seymour to Los Angeles in 1906, Seymour
stayed in the Pillar of Fire denomination in Denver which was headed by a woman, Alma
White. When Seymour
died in 1922, his wife, Jenny, continued as pastor of the Azusa Mission. Women
in leadership roles at Azusa
included Jennie Evans Moore. Mrs. G.W. Evans, Phoebe Sargent, Lucy Farrow,
Ophelia Wiley, Clara Lum, and Florence
Crawford. Singing and sometimes preached to the congregation at Azusa. Quote: Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia:

Modern
Pentecostal women followed faithfully
in the footsteps of women preachers of the Azusa street revival, which C. Parham graciously
authorized. Some on the pulpit are pastors, co-pastors and televangelists. Some
popular names are as follows: Marie Browne, Daisy Osborn, Joyce Meyer, Paula
White, Marilyn Hickey, Lilian Yeomans, Duncan
sisters, Neille Fell, M.E. E.V Baker, Juanita Coe, and Freda
Lindsay. Some are co-pastors with their husbands. Others faithfully filled the
office of pastor after the decease of their husbands.

HOLY LAUGHTER & SPIRITUAL DRUNKENESS REVIVAL

Pentecostalism, by “word
of faith movement”, advance to
the “Holy laughter & spiritual drunkeness” revival. Rodney Howard-Browne is hailed as the originator of
the Holy Laughter Movement and has brought a revival to churches all over the
world. K.
Hagin and K. Copeland were also influenced by that latest revival of
Pentecostalism. It is swiftly moving to other evangelists.

Preachers
and congregations experience so much joy of the Spirit, that they laugh for
hours, jump and shout as the minister walks around laughing and blessing the
people. They fall backwards in their seats and some pass out with laughter.
Many roll on the floor. Thousands
have experienced this revival. They act like drunk men, staggering, falling on
each other, laughing and stammering. It is linked to Acts 2 when the Holy Ghost
was outpoured. A woman televangelist and pastor, Marilyn Hickey, visited
Rodney’s laughter revival. She rolled on the floor laughing throughout
the whole night, and when called to the pulpit, she was so weak from laughter
that she fell to the ground.

“Charles and Frances Hunter, authors of a book
about “Holy laughter revival”, came in contact with the revival
when they went to Rodney Howard-Browne's winter campmeeting in Lakeland, Florida,
in December of 1993, where they "saw demonstrations of power with Rodney
just pointing at people who would then fall under the power of God." The
Hunters then went to Wayne Jackson's church, Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan,
where some of the same manifestations started to break forth as a result of
their ministry.

In spring of 1994, the Hunters brought the revival to London, England.
The London meetings were held at a Pentecostal
church pastored by Colin Dye, Kensington
Temple, one of the largest churches in Great Britain, where more than 116 nations were represented. There was
a group of twenty from Ireland
who were anxious to bring the anointing to Ireland. "Scottish people were
there, and they took this back to their nation. Representatives from other
countries were also there, and they laughingly, but seriously took this back to
Switzerland and Germany."
"By Easter Sunday it was impossible to get all the people into the church.
... It was snowing outside and we were told they had bolted the doors to keep
the people out who were trying to break down the doors to get into this great
move of God" (ibid).

Soon afterward, the Hunters went to the
Hague and Rotterdam in Holland, where thirty visitors from Belgium then brought the revival from Rotterdam back to their
own country.

FLATULENCE REVIVAL - ROBERT TILTON

Please note that the above description of this strange revival, the word
“flatulence” is substituted for common street language, which
describes the words: “Gas or flatuence”. The preacher who is
identified with this revival is Robert Tilton and it can be accessed from the Internet by the link:
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZeOsUUpWZc&mode=related&search=).

In
less than five minutes of his preaching, loud noises of gas can be heard after
every few words of prayer and speech. He relates that to the voice of God coming
out of him, and gives the interpretation of the various sounds. He has a pious
look and is seemingly fully anointed. To understand this, I guess people must
look at it themselves. This is indeed a mystery of Pentecostalism which is too
hard for us to unfold. I guess believers rejoice in this “mighty move of
god” and latest revival of Pentecostalism.

With
toilet paper in his hands, he had an explosion and exclaimed: “I smell
heaven’s bakery cooking-up something good for you sisters.” The
blessing was passed on to a woman: Maria Tilton. Members of his congregation
testify of great prosperity after they received prayer from Pastor Tilton. One
woman said that she increased by one hundred thousand dollars and praised the
Lord for the flatuence revival.

CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT

“The cross-over of Pentecostal practices into
Catholicism seems to have first appeared in certain Catholic universities of
the United States, such as Notre Dame.
Professors at these universities began to have private prayer meetings with
other lay people where charismatic style prayer was practiced”.

“The
Hickeys preach and teach a Charismatic - "Word of Faith" message…” “They have a strong
commitment to a "born-again" salvation message with a strong Assembly
of God theological background.

“Like
other television evangelists such as John Hagee or Jimmy Swaggart, Ms. Hickey
uses the medium of television to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.”  Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Hickey.

“The
movement became popular within the Filipino and Hispanic communities of the United States.
As of 2003, the movement consisted of 119 million members in 230 countries
worldwide according to David Barret, head of Global Evangelization Movement
in Richmond.”

“We
have experienced the grace of a new Pentecost. There are many signs of hope
which have flourished for the mission of the Church” among which are
“the discovery and the appraisal of charisms … the renewed zeal for
evangelisation and the advancement of lay people.” Pope John Paul II, 1 March 1999, address to  Pontifical
Council for the Laity. http://www.catholic-jhb.org.za/articles/charismatic.htm.

"Come, Holy Spirit, come and renew the
face of the earth! Come with your seven gifts! Come, Spirit of Life, Spirit of Communion
and Love! The Church and the world need you. Come, Holy Spirit, and make ever
more fruitful the charisms you have bestowed on us. Give new strength and
missionary zeal to these sons and daughters of yours who have gathered here.
Open their hearts; renew their Christian commitment to the world. Make them
courageous messengers of the Gospel, witnesses to the risen Jesus Christ, the
Redeemer and Saviour of man. Strengthen their love and their fidelity to the
Church.

“Let us
turn our gaze to Mary, Christ's
first disciple, Spouse of the Holy Spirit and Mother of the Church, who was
with the Apostles at the first Pentecost, so that she will help us to learn
from her fiat docility to the voice of the Spirit."  “Pope John Paul II, May 30 1998
speaking to a crowd of 200,000 to 300,000 gathered in Rome for a meeting of the lay
movements within the church. They prayed that they would be blessed by a fresh outpouring of the Holy
Spirit.” Sources of information: http://www.catholic-jhb.org.za/
articles/charismatic.htm , http://www.cin.org/jp2/movement98.html.

“In 1967, the Catholic Church
in the United States
witnessed the emergence of Neo-Pentecostalism, a movement which had
already been introduced into the Protestant churches as early as 1890. The Second Vatican Council stated in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium:

“It is not only through the sacraments and the
ministrations of the Church that the Holy Spirit makes holy the people, leads
them and enriches them with his virtues....He also distributes special graces
among the faithful of every rank. By these gifts he makes them fit and ready to
undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the
Church.

“The
movement was given a major endorsement by Cardinal Leo Suenens, a leading liberal
cardinal in the Catholic church.[1]

“Although
sharing in many of the prayer practices of non-Catholic charismatics, most (but
not all) modern Catholic charismatics place great emphasis – even by
Catholic standards – on the Virgin Mary,
an attitude that Protestants do not share.”  Quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_
Charismatic_Renewal.

ORAL ROBERTS’ INSPIRATION

A brief revision of the Pentecostal history which we
documented earlier credited Oral Roberts
as the leader of the Charismatic movement. In no uncertain terms he greatly
inspired Hagin, Copeland and many other evangelists by his theology and
honorary degrees which he gave to them, though they were not qualified for
them. He also paved the way for the prosperity gospel and word of faith
revival. Money saved him once from being killed by God.

“Oral Roberts (born January 24,
1918) is an American
neo-Pentecostal
televangelist.
He is also a leader in the charismatic movement.”

“In 1980, Oral Roberts said he
had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus who encouraged him to continue the construction of his
City of Faith Medical and Research Center,
which opened in 1981.
It included three skyscrapers, the tallest being Cityplex Tower which stands at 198 meters (648
feet) with 60 floors. It is the second tallest building in Oklahoma. At the time, it was the largest
health facility of its kind in the world and sought to merge prayer and
medicine in the healing process.”

“The City of Faith was in operation for only eight years
before closing in late 1989. The Orthopedic Hospital of
Oklahoma still operates on these premises.” Quote: Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia.

VICES OF SODOM
AND GOMORRAH

It is undeniable that some of the practices and vices
of Sodom and Gomorrah have entered Pentecostalism. This
all can very well understand because they live in a modern world, and must deal
with modern people. Since there are many women televangelists, it is obvious
that some of the styles of Hollywood
would enter the church.

Women
were equally responsible in the first
wave of Pentecostalism, and in a greater way in the third wave in the Word
of Faith movement. These women televangelists had to dress like the modern
women, to appear in public and on the TV screens before millions. They had to
use some paints on their faces, with chopped off hair, like the women of Hollywood, and climb upon high heeled shoes and act like Hollywood stars. Rock and roll
music was employed to attract sinners’ attention for their salvation. To
meet the modern condition of Sodom and Gomorrah, their members
must have televisions in their homes to hear and see their pastors preach the
prosperity gospel. Pentecostalism consider that they are a modern society.

Thus
the important thing to them is that the preachers of the Word of Faith Revival
are anointed, including the women televangelists. The people are filled with
joy in a Holy Laughter and Drunkenness Revival and even a flatulence revival.

A
tremendously important issue that can be considered is that though
Pentecostalism deviated from the holiness standards of modest dressing and
moral living, their doctrine remained the same. She held firm to
Trinitarianism: The belief of three persons in one God the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost.

The
Trinitarian form of water baptism. Tongues as the initial evidence of the Holy
Ghost. Gifts of Healing and prophecies and Slaying in the Spirit. The baptism
of the Holy Ghost of 1906. The Oneness held to their oneness beliefs.

In
addition, their faith, zeal and hard labors must be credited for converting
Protestantism, Catholicism and their members to receive the baptism of the Holy
Ghost, with the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost as speaking in tongues and
the gifts of the Spirit.

SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION OF
PENTECOSTALISM

I Thessalonians 5:21
<Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.>

In
the light of all that was stated, by sufficient historical evidence, it would
be necessary to examine modern Pentecostalism by the Scriptures. Though the
things contained in this chapter sounds incredible, mysterious and farfetched
to the mind. Reasoning power is insufficient to determine what is truth or
error, to the simple in mind.

The sincere in heart will continue to read this book,
if they have any of the Spirit of
God, until we have thoroughly examined the manifestations of modern
Pentecostalism in its full context of the Word of Faith movement, and all that
issued out of it, televangelism, the prosperity revival, laughter revival,
flatulence revival, women preachers and Charismatic movement. Pentecostalism is
fulfilling many scriptures of the latter day, prior to the rapture and the end
of the world. Amen!

In our examination of Pentecostalism, the written and
revealed word is our standard of
judgment.

Isaiah 8:20 <To the law and to the
testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no
light in them.>

Galatians
1:8 <But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said
before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than
that ye have received, let him be accursed. >

From
its origin in 1906, God’s servants, their achievements, outpourings,
revivals, salvation of millions in one hundred years of its existence. Former
Pentecostalism and modern Pentecostalism must be compared to the original Pentecostal blessing and manifestations
recorded in the Book of Acts. It must dovetail with the early church, its
outpouring, its revivals, the ministers, gifts, holiness standards and the
gospel of Jesus Christ which they established. If not it will prove one or more of the following.

·
It will prove
that 1906 revival was the third stage of reformation and not restoration.

·
The Church of Christ did not return to Pentecost in
fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel 2:23-28.

·
That it is in a
state of Apostasy - Rejection of present truth.

History of former Pentecostalism proves
that there is little or no comparison with modern Pentecostalism, except in
major doctrines of the trinity,
water baptism in titles of Father, Son and the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28: 19) “tongues”, the initial evidence of the
Holy Ghost and a few other similarities. These articles will be examined in the
following chapters

WORD OF FAITH REVIVAL SCRIPTURALLY
EXAMINED

MR. KENNETH HAGIN’S PROSPERITY
GOSPEL

We will now examine the ‘word of faith’
revival by the Word and history of Pentecostalism to determine if it was a
scriptural revival or inspired of Satan. It is evident from all historical
records that the foundation of word of faith revival is money and prosperity. It was inspired to Kenneth Hagin by Mark
11:23.

This inspiration fell upon thousands of televangelists, pastors and
prophets. It went internationally by televangelism and has gathered the cream of the crop. They are numbered in hundreds of
millions from Pentecostalism and the Catholic Charismatic movement. Its system
is unique and unmatched by many religious bodies. This is a gigantic movement, the third wave, and
third force of Christianity. It is bringing into existence a One World Church and a one World Government to be
headed by a “holy man.” This movement is undefeatable by mortal
human power.

Mr. Hagin established that Mark 11:23 was inspired to him. The prosperity
gospel was born, just speak the word for any earthly possession and you can
have it.

Quote: “His
favorite scripture was Mark 11:23 "For verily I say unto you,
That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast
into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he
saith". Dr. Hagin often said "I have quoted this scripture so many
times that some people may have thought I wrote it, but I didn't, it is God's
holy word and promise."

THE LORD JESUS’ DOCTRINE ON
PROSPERITY

Jesus: Matthew
19:23-24 <Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God.>

Mark 8:36 <For what shall it profit a
man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?>

A CERTAIN RICH MAN

Luke 12:20-21
<But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul

shall be required of thee: then whose
shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God.>

The rich
man: Luke 16:23 <And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.>

Rich young
ruler: Mark 10:22-23
<And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round
about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom
of God! >

APOSTLES’ DOCTRINE ON
PROSPERITY

The apostle
Paul understood by revelation the
teachings of Christ on the subject of riches, prosperity, possessions,
treasures and gain in contrast to salvation. He taught as follow:

A.
That men
destitute of the truth, suppose that gain is Godliness.

B.
To withdraw from
such men.

C.
Godliness with
contentment is great gain.

D.
We bought nothing
and we cannot carry nothing out of the world. Be contented with food and
raiment.

E.
The rich shall
fall in temptation, snares and hurtful lust.

F.
Riches drown men
in destruction & Hell.

G.
The love of money
is the root of all evil.

H.
Some coveted
after money and erred from the faith & had many sorrows.

I.
A man of God must
flee from money & its evils.

J.
If any man
teaches other doctrines, he is proud, knows nothing, and is of a corrupt mind.

I Timothy
6:3-12 <If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to
godliness;

He is proud,
knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof
cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perverse
disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that
gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

But godliness
with contentment is great gain.

For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having
food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that
will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love
of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted

after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O
man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the
good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. >

I cite the teachings of the apostle James as a second
witness against the “get rich”
theology of covetous preachers. He said as follow:

A.
The brother of low degree should rejoice that he is exalted.

B.
The rich should rejoice in that he is made low, because he shall fade
away in his ways.

James 1: 9-11
<Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich,
in that he is made low: the rich man fade away in his ways.>

The teachings of the Lord Jesus and His apostles
clearly established that riches are a
snare to the souls of all Christians and God’s servants. I challenge
all to believe the Lord and his Word. “Yea, let God be true, but every
man a liar;” (Romans 3:4). All the teachings and the example of
our Lord Jesus are against the teachings of the “word of faith”
prosperity gospel. That “get rich gospel” was never taught by our
Lord.

WORD OF FAITH REVIVAL IS SATANIC

Based upon the Word, the gospel of Christ and the
apostles, it is evident that the word of faith revival was inspired of Satan.
Mr. Kenneth Hagin was inspired of
the devil. He manifested a covetous spirit and preached a Satanic doctrine when
he established the prosperity gospel, which he forged from Mr. F.W. Kenyon. Mr.
Copeland came under that satanic inspiration and the Crouchs, was inspired of
the devil to evangelize the prosperity gospel by TBN. This has successfully
bewitched most so-called Pentecostal ministers, pastors, and televangelists of
the world. Only some of the popular names were included in this chapter along
with their historical records of prosperity, fame and glory.

The
following is a list of “get rich” preachers. We can notice from
their files that they are the ones who are getting rich by the great number of
people which they have bewitched with this damnable heresy.

John Hagee: 18000 members. Ministers carried on one hundred
television stations, fifty radio stations, and eight networks, and can be seen
weekly in 99 million homes and many Nations.

Frederick
Price: His program reaches 15 million
households a week. Wrote fifty books, sold 2.1 million books since 1976.

Rod
Parshley: Church property sits on 132
acres of land. Has a staff of four hundred people.

Bakkers: Created “praise the Lord” show for T.B.N.
Has satellite to broadcast 24 hours a day. Request from viewers $1.00 a week
for expansion, 20 million backing from Jerry Falwell. He took control - Annual
salaries $200, 000.00 each, Jim awarded himself $4, 000, 000.00 in bonuses,
owns four condominiums. Jim Bakker was actually charged for fraud and
subsequently released from prison after serving a prison term.

Jimmy
Swaggart: Estimated to make $150,
000, 000.00 a year in 1980. The whole world knows that he was guilty of
adultery on more than one occasion.

The
word of faith revival is built upon the love
of money, the root of all evil. It has become the root of modern
Pentecostalism. The root of modern evangelism and televangelists. It is the
root of all religions: Protestantism and Catholicism. It has become the root of
Sodom and Gomorrah.
It will be the root of a one world church and a one world government and most
assuredly the root of the mark of
the beast-666, Revelation 13:13-18.
This will finally bring the destruction of Rome and the rest of the world. (Revelation18).

Revelation
13:16 <And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no
man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.>

Although Christ and the apostles have established that
prosperity is one of the greatest adversaries to the soul salvation of mankind;
I am not ignorant nor have overlooked other promises of the bible in
relationship to God’s blessings. However, not one of those scripture
verses suggest, indicate or established a ‘get rich’ philosophy. If
it does, it will suggest gross contradiction in scriptures. All of God’s
Word is inspired.

Quote: III John 1:2 <Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.>

Mark 10:29-30 <And Jesus answered and
said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren,
or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake,
and the gospel's.

But he shall
receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and
mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come
eternal life.>

Luke
6:38 <Give, and it
shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and
running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye
mete withal it shall be measured to you again.>

No sincere minister or believer can read into the above
verses of scriptures a ‘get
rich’ revelation. However, such verses are handled deceitfully by
modern Judases, money lovers and thieves to fleece the poor of their hard
earned wages. The Lord Jesus lived an exemplary life in accordance to his
teaching. The apostles and disciples followed his example. None of the apostles
were millionaires or rich men. Jesus lived a sacrificial life, borrowed a
donkey to ride, was crucified naked and was buried in a borrowed tomb.

Mr. Hagin, Pentecostalism and her
money-loving preachers are the poorest examples of Christ in their teaching
about prosperity. Hagin has bewitched millions of preachers and Pentecostalism
as a whole by his damnable heresy. Satan perverted to him Mark 11:23. He turned
it around to mean money because of his covetous money-greedy spirit and lust
for prosperity Mark 11:23
is not speaking of prosperity but about the greatest ministry to be
demonstrated before the rapture. It was demonstrated temporarily in the last
revival of 1947 in creative acts of power, though Mr. Hagin and Pentecostalism
are aware of this great wonder. They all choose to believe that the scripture
is speaking of money. It’s blasphemy! Satan used Mr. Hagin to blind the
eyes of millions of sincere people to the dynamic ministry of creative power
yet to come upon the earth before the rapture.

FAILED WORD TEST - PROPHECIES
FULFILLED

We previously established in this chapter that if
Pentecostalism and the “word of faith” movement fail the test of
God’s Word, it can mean one or more things. Firstly that the revival of
1906 was the third stage of reformation and not restoration. Modern Pentecostalism was proven wrong by the corrupt
fruits it bore. If 1906 was
restoration it could not produce what it did for the past hundred years.
Restoration of the word and Pentecost was yet to come. God sent it by the
Laodicean Pentecostal messenger: Revelation 3:14, Revelation 10:7. Forty years
after, which is one generation, in that period, Israel became a nation. The
restored Word came to Pentecostalism by the former rain revival in 1946/47. It
was confirmed by signs, wonders, and miracles, but she sold out the Word for
money, like Judas. The father of “word of faith” revival sold out
for money and riches and popularity. God sent them strong delusion for the
rejection of the restored word. They
loved money, Sodom and Gomorrah more than the truth.  They fulfilled the prophecy of
Revelation 3:14-22.

Revelation
3:17. <Because thou sayest, I am rich,
and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.>

She boasts about her riches, prosperity, glory, fame, and knowledge but is in a state of
apostasy. She has rejected the word and Christ. He stands at the church door
pleading with individuals to repent. All of God’s children within that cursed system will hear his voice and be
prepared for the rapture.

Pentecostalism, with all her renowned ministers,
leaders, and televangelists has fulfilled another great prophecy when she
rejected the Word by her messenger. This prophecy was not in the past but just
before the second coming of the Lord and manifestation of Satan’s power
by lying signs and wonders.

I
Thessalonians 2:7-12 <Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.>

The
church of Christ needed restoration according to Joel Chapters 1 and 2. That restoration
did not come in 1906. Thus Pentecostalism borrowed the theology of the Catholic
and Protestant churches: Trinity of gods, water baptism in titles instead of
name.  Money schemes, unscriptural
organizations, manmade titles, licenses, qualifications, doctorates,
L.L.D’s, PhD’s, idolatry, adultery, fornication sexual perversions,
and various vices of Sodom and Gomorrah, with nakedness in public and many
other worldly traits.

Modern
Pentecostalism has spurned their day of grace by rejection of the restored
gospel of Christ and the apostles. It was destroyed by the Roman Catholic
Church in the Dark Ages. (Joel 2:3-28).

RESTORED APOSTOLIC GOSPEL

One God: John 4:24 <God is a spirit.> John
1:1-14 <The Word is God…The Word was made flesh.> I Timothy 3:16 <God was manifested in the
flesh.>

Water
Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ: Acts2:38, chapters: 8, 10, 19,
Colossians 3:7 <…do it in the name of Jesus Christ.>

Woman
Preachers: I Timothy 2:12 <I suffer not a woman to teach.>
I Corinthians 14:34 < Let your women
keep silence in the churches.>

God
chose only men in the Old Testament and the New Testament – Matthew 10, Luke 10, Leviticus –
Priests.

Modest
Dressing: I Timothy 2: 9 <Let the woman be adorned in modest
apparel.> I Peter 3:3 < Whose adorning let it not be that outward
adorning.> Deuteronomy 22:5 <Women should not wear man’s
garment.> Isaiah 3 <Walking and mincing – high heeled shoes.>

Denominationalism
Rejected God’s Word; a curse to humanity: Revelation 17 <Mother and
daughters.> Revelation 18:4, Galatians 1:1-9

God called
men, not schools, degrees etc.: Romans 10:15 <How can they preach except they be
sent.> Matthew 10 <He anointed twelve and sent them.> Luke 10 <He
appointed seventy and sent them.> John 20:21 <As my Father hath sent me, even so send I
you.>

E. W.
KENYON

Much like many modern Word of Faith teachers, Kenyon
had no formal theological training and in his case his doctorate was
self-instituted. Tragedy again struck Kenyon in 1930 when his wife, Alice, left him during the height
of his popularity, accusing him of
having affairs with other women. Kenyon fled to Seattle where he spent his last years as an
evangelist and prolific writer.

Kenyon
influenced many people during his lifetime including Tommy L. Osborn, F.F. Bosworth, and Kenneth Hagin.
His influence is undeniable.

Oral Roberts University President Charles Farah declaration of war on the Faith
movement. He traced Kenyon's roots to the metaphysical cults. Hagin got his doctrine from Kenyon by
plagiarizing it, and thus the entire Faith movement was built on a cultic root.

“A
Plagiarism “In 1983, two
students at Oral Roberts University
discovered that the bulk of Hagin's theological teachings were lifted verbatim
from the writings of other authors.
D.R. McConnell, who wrote his Master's thesis about the Word of Faith
movement noted that Hagin had plagiarized the writings of evangelist E.W. Kenyon,
teaching not only the ideas of Kenyon but also lifting text word-for-word from many of Kenyon's eighteen published
works.  Dale Simmons, one of
McConnell's colleagues doing research for his paper entitled "An
Evaluation Of Kenneth E. Hagin's Claim To Be A Prophet", discovered that
Hagin had plagiarized another author named John A. MacMillan.  In this case, Hagin not only plagiarized
word-for-word, he even plagiarized the title, "The Authority of the
Believer".

“Upon discovering Hagin's use of MacMillan's
material, Simmons contacted the publishing house that published MacMillan's
original work.  The president of the
publishing company confronted Hagin with written proof of the plagiarism.  Hagin's response was to claim that he
had not plagiarized anyone but that his acknowledgement of MacMillan had been
an oversight.  Hagin then implicitly
claimed that the plagiarism was actually proof that his teaching and
MacMillan's teaching were from God.
In a portion of a letter printed on page 68 of "A Different
Gospel" by D.R. McConnell, Hagin
argued that persons speaking on the same subject use 'virtually the same
words' because 'it is the same Spirit that is leading and directing.'  Simmons did not accept this argument,
noting that it begged the question why Hagin felt it necessary to read any
books at all if God was going to inspire him to have the same thoughts and
words as another author.  This
information is available from Oral
Roberts University
in Dale H. Simmons' Master's thesis, "An Evaluation of Kenneth E. Hagin's
Claim To Be A Prophet".  (Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia).

Mr.
Hagin desired prosperity and popularity more than eternal life and for the
people who trusted him, rejected God’s Word, though he was in that
revival and witnessed the wonderful works of God. He himself claimed to be a
prophet and great bible teacher. Investigations by Oral Roberts university
proved him to be an impersonator of other men’s work and most of his
sixty five million copies of books were based upon the work of other men which
he stole. He committed one of the greatest evils to the destruction of
Pentecostalism and that is when he came face to face with the restored word
which God sent by the father of the 1947 revival, W.M. Branham, Elijah the
prophet, Malachi 4:5-6. He also impersonated him and at the death of
W.M.Branham he and Mr. Gordon Lindsay fabricated a lie telling the people that
W.M.Branham backslid and God had to take him away in an accident. This lie had
damned hundreds of millions of souls and is commonly reported amongst
Pentecostal brethren up to this day. (God’s
generals – by Roberts Liardon).

WORLD EVANGELIZATION

Pentecostalism, the apostate and deluded Laodicean
church is rejected by God. She’s cursed to fulfill several other end time
prophecies one of which is Revelation 16:
12-16 <And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the
east might be prepared.

And I saw
three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out
of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

For they are
the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the
earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty.

Behold, I
come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he
walk naked, and they see his shame.

And he
gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.>

Pentecostalism is the only movement upon the earth that can fulfill such evangelization
of Satan. She is fulfilling that prophecy now, with the satanic revival
“Word of Faith” which has compassed both land and sea to make men,
proselytes; and two fold more the children of hell than Hagin and all who rejected
the restored Word in the former rain revival of 1946/47. Modern Pentecostal
ministers, pastors, evangelists, televangelists along with all the net-work of
Pentecostalism is employed in this great prophetic evangelization. Not even Protestantism or Catholicism can fulfill
that prophecy. However they are now recruited through the Charismatic movement
to fight against the army of God in the Armageddon Battle.

Satan’s plans were professionally
orchestrated to accomplish the great task of world evangelization, which will
form a one world church, and a one world government to bring into existence the
Mark of the beast. Revelation 13:13-18 Satan
first used false Christs and false prophets to deceive many. Matt 24:24
Pentecostalism also fulfilled that scripture. As a result of such deception,
they rejected present revealed truth; the restored gospel of Christ and the
apostles. Pentecostalism became the apostate church of Revelation 3:14-22 and was given over to strong
delusion to believe a lie and to be damned by it. Then the “word of
Faith” revival was born by the inspiration of Satan.

Mr. Kenyon and Hagin were chosen and anointed for that
job. At the same period Mr. Copeland received the “get rich”
inspiration and the Crouches were supernaturally moved of Satan to create.
“Trinity Broadcasting Network.” T.B.N.  It became the vehicle of Satan to
transport the “get rich” gospel and Trinitarianism around the
globe. Hagin’s 65 million
copies of books previously established the same heresy for decades. In addition
he established Pentecostalism upon the foundation of Romanism, which is
Trinitarianism and other heresies.

Satan’s plans for world evangelism continued
with many great men. Oral Roberts, the rejecter of the restored Word, became a
satanic father of Pentecostalism. He was chosen of Satan to build a city of
faith, including a university which educated men in the ‘get rich’
prosperity gospel and trinitarianism. Lovers of money and modern Judases became
Satan’s evangelists. They were manufactured
in mass production

In this same period Satan by scientific knowledge
perfected radio and television to broadcast his message. False Christ and false
prophets Matt 24:24 then had the medium to speak to the whole world from the
desert place or even the secret chambers, lying signs and wonders accompanied
such satanic men for world evangelization. This is in fulfillment of Revelation
16:12-16. The Trinitarian spirits of the devil went out working miracles to
gather the rulers and nations of the whole world.

Pentecostalism is the only religious body that is
presently employed in this satanic task. She was ordained to fulfill this
prophecy. She will be instrumental in bringing the Mark of the beast from Rome
to all people whose names are not in the lambs book of life (Revelation 13:13-18, Revelation 17:8).
Satan’s evangelization is almost completed. God’s last revival and evangelization comes by another return
of Pentecost. It will accompany great signs, wonders and miracles in creative
acts of power. This will be the true fulfillment of Mark 11:23.

Two great men are instruments of Satan and are
viciously keeping the vision of Satan’s world evangelization alive. They
are keeping word of faith revival alive. They are K. Copeland and P. Crouch,
who was associated with Mr. Hagin and Oral Roberts. Crouchs’ network
T.B.N. accommodates most of Satan’s Televangelists. Benny Hinn is the
most popular and is imitating the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is about
to come to the people of God. Such men are known by their fruits: “Ye
shall know them by their fruits”.

Matthew 7:18 <A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.>

KENNETH COPELAND

Mr. Kenneth Copeland is associated with Crouch, and was
closely associated with Mr. Hagin. He preaches the prosperity gospel on T.B.N.
People borrowed money and donated to the Copeland’s to open a business.
Six months later the business went bankrupt. Three months later Copeland then
bought a jet for 20 million US
dollars, he left most of his members in debts. He claims that God prospers him
because of his love to God and not from begging. He’s currently being
investigated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIivzLSk02o&

PAUL
CROUCH – PLAGIARISM & CURSES OF DEATH

Paul Crouch is the founder of the trinity broadcasting
network T.B.N. “Crouch and many of the preachers who appear on Trinity
Broadcasting have garnered much criticism over their style of fundraising,
promising donating viewers that God will provide them with wealth and material
pleasures as a reward. As such, TBN has earned the pejorative
nickname "The Blasphemy Network"
by opponents of such charismatic teachings.

Alleged plagiarism: “In 2001, Crouch was sued by author Sylvia Fleenor, who accused
Crouch of plagiarism in his popular end-times novel (and subsequent movie), The Omega Code. Fleenor's lawsuit alleged
that the movie's plot was taken from her own novel, The Omega Syndrome. A former Crouch personal assistant, Kelly
Whitmore revealed that she had encountered a loose-leaf binder in Crouch's
luggage that Crouch referred to as "the End Times project" and that
he often called it "The Omega" but said he disliked the working
title, "especially the word 'Syndrome'." The case was subsequently settled out of court for an undisclosed
sum.”  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Paul_Crouch

ALLEGED
HOMOSEXUAL SETTLEMENT - $ 425, 000.00 USD

“TBN began in 1973 with Mr.
Crouch.

The Network has grown to 47 satellites and 12,500
affiliates reaching nearly 100,000,000 households golbally.

“According to a September 12, 2004 Los Angele Times story, Paul Crouch,
the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) paid Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 in 1998 as a settlement over what
Ford argued was an unjust dismissal from working at TBN. The settlement
contained several other points, among them an agreement for Ford to be silent
about an alleged homosexual encounter they had had in 1996 at a TBN-owned cabin
near Lake Arrowhead, California. “In a statement released
on September 22, 2004, TBN denied Crouch had a homosexual affair with Ford, but
confirmed the payment of the $425,000 settlement. TBN generates $170 million in revenue annually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Broadcast_Network

Crouch is arrogantly desperate for both men and their
devilish theology. Quote: "I refuse to argue any longer with any
of you out there. Don’t even call me if you want to argue doctrine, if you
want to straighten somebody out over here, if you want to criticize Kenneth Copeland for his preaching on faith of
Dad Hagin, get out of my life. I
don’t ever want to talk to you or hear, I don’t want to see your
ugly face.”

“I think they are damned and on their way to hell and I don’t
think there is any redemption for them. I say, ‘to hell with you’.  I say, ‘Get out of God’s
way, quit blocking God’s bridges or God is going to shoot you if I don’t.’"
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/crouch_confused_world.html.

“…Take authority over the principalities and
powers that dare to threaten this ministry. I have raised it up from infancy
for My own purposes, saith the Lord. Just as I commanded Ezekiel to prophesy
life to dry bones, and they took on life, so I am commanding you to prophesy
death to the threats, challenges, and bondages the enemy has placed on TBN.
Command them to cease and desist, and you will see this dilemma die and
disappear before your eyes.

“God, we proclaim death
to anything or anyone that will lift a hand against this network and this
ministry that belongs to You, God. It is Your work, it is Your idea, it is Your
property, it is Your airwaves, it is Your world, and we proclaim death to anything that would
stand in the way of God's great voice of proclamation to the whole world. In
the Name of Jesus, and all the people said Amen!” http://bereanfaith.com/heresy/crouchdeaththreat.htm

STRONG DELUSIONS – LYING SIGNS
AND WONDERS

After Pentecostalism rejected God’s restored
truth, God sent her strong delusions. She believed a lie and was damned by that
lie. Word of faith heresy was born. Many preachers believed that lie. Many were
damned by that lie. They were accompanied by lying signs and wonders, since the
Holy Ghost departed from so-called
Pentecost. The father of the word of faith revival was given to strong
delusions by the laughter revival from Rodney Browne which he plagiarized
Revival from Rodney Browne went around the world. Copeland and many other
preachers were deluded by this satanic move.

Hagin and Copeland (He laughs and cackles like a hen and makes many funny animal sounds.)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjujnAs-6tM&mode=related&search=

Laodicean messenger, father of the 1946/47 revival, W.M. Branham, had an
experience of seeing the Devil, who manifested
like Hagin and Copeland and many more, who are in the laughter revival.

SATAN – SOUNDED LIKE A HEN CACKLING

Quote
W.M.B.: E-94 The next morning when I woke up…and looked
over. There was this hideous looking thing. Looked like it was Alley Oop in the
funny paper, great big horns sticking out of it. He was going... Sounded like a
hen cackling, or singing, like
they're going from the barn…I waited there just a minute, and standing,
watch.

People
talk about devils, and don't even know what they are sometimes…After
while he was accusing me, said, "You have no power with God. You're just a
bluff. You have no power." I said, "Satan, you're an offense to me.
Get out of my way in the Name of Jesus Christ," and he left. (An Absolute 63-0127).

UNHOLY LAUGHTER & DRUNKENESS
REVIVAL

The laughter revival is a satanic delusion and madness.
People are laughing their way unto the tribulation and unto hell. It is totally
unscriptural. None who received the
Holy Ghost in the Old Testament nor the New Testament manifested in that
manner. Jesus, who had the greatest measure of the Spirit, had no such
manifestation. He was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief. (Isaiah 53:3). It is written:

Ezekiel 9:4 <…Go through the midst of the city, through the
midst of Jerusalem,
and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry
for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.>

Those
who were in the laughing revival, the Scribes and Pharisees who mocked Jesus
and laughed at him on the cross, failed to receive that mark, the seal of God.
But the hundred and twenty received it on the day of Pentecost. Laughter was
not the evidence of the Holy Ghost. Everywhere that the Holy Spirit was given,
there was no such manifestation.

Ecclesiastes 2:2 <I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What
doeth it?>

Revelation 3:17 <Because thou sayest, I
am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.>

For a church to be in the
above condition is insanity. This has perfectly described
Pentecostalism. It is not a Holy laughter, but an ungodly laughter.

The scripture did not
say that they were drunk in the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Thus the people
who act like drunk men, and stagger by the power of the devil are in a strong
delusion of Satan. When the Jews heard them speak in tongues and stammered, they
assumed that they were drunk. They saw no drifting, falling on the
ground and all the nonsense that accompanies this satanic laughter and
drunkenness revival. Peter said,

Acts 2:15 <For
these are not drunken, as ye suppose…>

There are no records where
men drifted, fell to the ground, jumped, rolled over each other, and women
exposed and slain to the ground when they received the Holy Ghost. Jesus never
fell to the ground. He said, “The Lord hath anointed me to preach the
gospel” (Luke 4), and He sat down.
The Holy Ghost is supreme power in control. The devil possesses people and they
get out of control. This satanic revival is definitely out of control.
Pentecostalism has rejected the Word that God sent to them by the Laodicean
messenger, and has entered into a laughing revival. It’s madness! Yet
even a more disgraceful revival emerged from Pentecostalism. This represents
their present condition. They are a big bag of air compounded with rotten eggs.

Robert
Tilton: This preacher proclaims that
the Lord is speaking through him when he passes gas. He also prophesies while
passing gas. If you go to him for blessings and he passes gas, “the lord
has opened the windows of heaven and outpoured blessings which you can't
contain.” He claims this ministry was given to him by the Lord. http://www.youtube.com

into a private room and kneel and pray for what you want.” It says,
“You’ll see his eyes open, financial blessings will then come if
you follow the directions exactly.”

Bishop Earl
Paulk and his brother Don Paulk sex scandal: ( Bishop Earl
Paulk  was involved  with many women, married women and even
virgins. One woman was involved with him for 14 years and her husband knew nothing.
She was taught that he was a prophet and apostle. The bishop asked her to come
to a meeting and she felt privileged. He told her he wants to take her to a
higher level: “I guess you just have to take your clothes off cause I am gonna have to love you”. He also had
her live with his brother and a visiting minister. He also had other women
watching them while they had their affair, and then invited the other women,
who were looking on, to go in with him. All these acts were done in his
basement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwlkriVsdgQ&NR

The
vices of Sodom and Gomorrah were brought into the church by
Pentecostalism. Adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, lesbians, pedophiles, nakedness of men and women, women
preachers kicking up like mules on the pulpit, with painted faces like Jezebel,
chopped off hair, twisting and shaking on high heeled shoes, in pants, singing
in the choir with shorts, praising their “Jesus”. They are all
abominations: loathsome and hateful creatures in the sight of God. God would
not break His Word for anyone, not even Jezebel. He forbid a woman from
preaching the gospel (I Timothy 2:9, I
Corinthians 14: 34). They
are all a disgrace to Christianity. Even former Pentecostal women of 1906
dressed in modest apparel. God understands one thing and that is His Word. He
does not have to lower his standards to the perversions of Hollywood to win a soul. He does not have to
borrow the rock and roll music of the world to convict a sinner to be saved. It
is a delusion of the devil.

WRATH OF GOD REVEALED UPON REJECTERS
OF WORD

Jesus said, “These
people draw nigh unto me with their lips, but their hearts are far from
me.” Pentecostalism is praising a Satanic Jesus on their journey to
the tribulation, Hell and the lake of fire. All such perversions come upon
people when they reject the Word of God, is evident in the scripture.

Romans
1: 18-31 <For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that,
when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but
became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

And even as
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Being filled
with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,

Without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things
are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do

them.>

Finally my brethren, chosen of God to
come out of that damnable  system of
Pentecostalism, I call you to repentance. Save yourselves from receiving  the Mark of the beast, 666. (Revelation 13:13-18).

Having
spoken the truth concerning Pentecostalism, which will be further exposed in
continuing chapters of this book, all should be reminded that God is speaking
such condemnations against the
system, which is anti-Christ and not individuals whom he love and is calling
out of Pentecostalism

Revelation
3:19-22 <As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To
him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.> Amen.

The Laodicean messenger, Revelation 3:14, Revelation
10:7, Elijah, the prophet, Malachi 4: 5-6, was fulfilled in a hated man in religious
circles, William Branham. He did say, by inspiration, as follows:

SO-CALLED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH
IS WORST THAN CATHOLIC

Quote
W.M.B.:  118 Did you know the Roman
Catholic church was first the original Pentecostal church? It taken it two thousand
years to get in the condition it's got today. If this Pentecostal organization
keeps on another fifty years, it'll be worse than the Catholic church. That's
right. Sin heaping on every side... Now, you might not think that I... You
might think I'm crazy, but I know where I'm at. See? It's true. You just wait;
you'll find out. (O Lord Just Once
More 63-0628m).
