In my last post on this topic I said some Pentecostal&#8217;s need to grow up.

It is headed up by a certified false prophet\/teacher by the name of Todd Bentley, one of the guys from the infamous Elijah List, an umbrella group that markets all the bogus &#8220;prophetic&#8221; junk their many seers sell. Many of these forerunners for the antichrist are heralding this outbreak as the much-touted outpouring of the latter rain. {If you think I&#8217;m speaking harshly, keep reading to understand why I can&#8217;t mince words.}<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this circus show featuring an &#8220;illustrated man&#8221; is now on the road and targets young people and new believers who are not armed with a knowledge of Scripture so they are sitting ducks for deception. The crowds following Bentley are seen being overcome by ugly spirits of drunkenness and stupor. Those in the church who are crying out against this injustice perpetrated upon our weakest little lambs are being squelched by the &#8220;Christian&#8221; media, since those in control of the airwaves suppress the truth in unrighteousness. And any otherwise solid ministries that buy airtime on networks such as TBN and the God Channel shut up their own mouths for fear of biting the hand that feeds them and getting their programs tossed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160312124434\/http:\/\/www.apostasyalert.org\/REFLECTIONS\/bentley.htm\">Bentley<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Watching Bentley do his circus act can be very nauseating. He imparts his Emma spirit on the young people who come up for a touch. He flings the evil spirits upon them while yelling, &#8220;blah, blah, blah, blah&#8221; \u2013 whatever he means by that \u2013 and culminates it with slaying them in the &#8220;spirit&#8221; with the word &#8220;BAM!&#8221; [see link for example ] Why would he scream &#8220;Bam&#8221; over people?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I say you have to read this too often, but you really do have to read this article.
