Do you see how this patient and gentle approach might be more effective than a confrontational approach? This was Gamaliels opinion, and shouldnt be used as a strategy for how to address false teaching in the church. I dont know that anyone has everything right, yet the gospel IS preached again and again. Lets be like the Bereans and examine the Scriptures to see if what Steven Furtick says is true. He has three children with his wife Holly named Abbey, Elijah and Graham. No. The reason people are taught that we cant understand the trinity is that we cant. Many years later, the Son became a human. Ive had people paste entire chapters of their books here, and then ask me to rebut each sentence directly. Ive added a link at the bottom (in the Notes section) to a video where Furtick calls Meyer the greatest Bible teacher alive today. Steven Furtick is an American pastor, Gospel preacher, songwriter, and author. But thought I had read something about TD Jakes now realizing modalism is wrong. The alternative is heresy, as defined in the traditional, historic sense: limiting Gods power and ability to do what He wishes to do is a non-starter. >> Actually, the Word of God teaches that there is only ONE Spirit who is God. But also, I think many teachers, Pastors, etc. How many people do you bring to GOD every week? Perhaps it is a topic worthy of a post for you sometime, if youve not already posted about it. Why? What Christ DID NOT do in fulfilling the law was to make that which was immoral now moral. The church has now grown to a weekly attendance over 27,000 (as of 2019). The scroll in question is a scroll of prophecy. That excludes a number of books in the Bible, since not all are prophetic. The subject of his ethnicity, however, is not as straightforward. He is the founder and senior pastor of Elevation Church, based in Charlotte North Carolina . Again, this was why Jesus said; According to your faith be it unto you. He teaches that God created a good Law, then broke His own Law, and did it because He loves us. Each of those analogies falls apart at some point, and fails to adequately explain what God is like. As Paul taught the Romans (Ch. Christians are to be Torah-observant, except for sacrificing animals. I guess thats why people thought of the three states of water, clover leaf, etc. If what you believe really matters to you, let me encourage you to begin a fresh journey into the Scriptures. I would have to say, however, that the first quote hardly contributes to a little gods doctrine such as taught by Mr. Copeland, Mr Hinn, Mrs Meyers, etc. However, I stand in agreement about Modalism. Im less likely to trust anyone who makes a point to call another out in this fashion. There is no other God beside Him. Been Here Before. Our faith is important, but it does not limit what God CAN do. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I amhas sent me to you.. That seems important, doesnt it? Steven Furtick was born in the middle of Millennials Generation. He has no inside. The Holy Spirit is spirit. (sorry for the all caps, sometimes I get carried away. I appreciate you. I can certainly use the discussion to teach people how to handle Scripture properly, how the teachings of the Word of Faith movement come directly from New Thought, and how they distort the biblical record about God and man. Now, baptizing people is good. Remember, Christ had no beginning (Hebrews 7:3), the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit are eternal beings, they always existed! For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nobody teaches lies and falsehoods all the time. Even Jesus cannot override your unbelief. Apparently he holds the orthodox view of the triunity of God, at least in his doctrinal statement. A significant portion of the New Testament was written to directly counter false teaching in the first century. We justly deserve death, but He died on our behalf. Im not happy to say this. Im not sure I can be more definitive than that, without pretending that I know things I couldnt possibly know. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. Matthew 9:29. The only relevant question is whether Steven Furtick responsibly teaches what Jesus taught. When good teachers do it, its irresponsible. I would also consider it blasphemy. Do you believe that God is a molecular structure? Any insights with this is much appreciated. I'm Annoyed. Anyone who welcomes a false teacher shares in their wicked work, right? First, that doesnt match what we read in Scripture. Especially when you can see the iron (microscopic amounts) from one transferring to the other. Both tritheism and modalism are false simply because they contradict Scripture. Galatians 3:13 says, Christ has (past tense) redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. The curse includes every sickness and every disease (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). As there has never been, nor ever will be any man that (past, present, future) has ever received such abundance of revelations, so that there can never really be any comparison. What God did when he sent his son [he] broke the Law for love. The idea is that love is greater than the Law. In Furticks example, God does not know the future. He is looking forward to his 41st birthday soon, according to The Wealth Record. By itself, I see no problem but playing music in church isnt by itself. It comes with spiritual baggage that the Kingdom of God, quite simply, is fighting against. Id say no but recommending Elevations music really is recommending Elevation. Tony, Please and I sincerely mean this please, dont run away. Knowledge is important but it alone doesnt save. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Deuteronomy 6:4 Isaiah 61:1 Matthew 28:19 Mark 1:9-11 Luke 1:35 John 5:21-23; 14:10, 16 Romans 8:9-11 1 Corinthians 8:6 2 Corinthians 13:14 Hebrews 1:8-10 James 2:19. Narcigesis is a new word. From Scripture, we know that there is only ONE God. Touching a dead body a common occurrence caused one to be ritually impure, and there are instructions about that. Neither is God limited to 3 dimensions as we are, but exists in such a way that the past, present and future are observed simultaneously. The question is whether you were, or werent and you were. The Father wasnt speaking. Have a great day! As she is the daughter of Murrill Boitnott (father) and her mother's name . Find out whether the people you listen to are teaching what we find in the New Testament, or not. God is a molecular structure that fills all in all. That we should ignore his false teaching is not. I mean no offense, Mercy but youre being irresponsible. The power of God was in Nazareth, but it was trapped in their perspective. Here are the benefits: If your father is a modalist, youll find out rather quickly. The New Testament is full of warnings about false teachers, and you dont appear to take those things very seriously. If youd like to address the idea that God is or is not omnipotent, go ahead. I am well too, thanks. This is false. My first suggestion is always to be gentle. 9:23,24. He made them all go outside. Atheists will say that God does not exist. The ceremonial laws addressed uncleanliness. The question is not whether anyone can be saved at Elevation Church. Having described the failure of the people in Nazareth to believe Jesus despite their knowledge of His wisdom and power, Mark explains that our Lord could do no mighty work there except to heal a few people (Mark 6:5). Greek verbs communicate 5 different things: tense, voice, mood, person, and number. You sound angry. Faith, they claim, brings power. Ill give you another shot at a one-word response. As for Furtick saying; God is a molecular structure that fills all in all in all, and that thats what it means to say that Christ was from the beginning? Yet, the difference between animals blood and Christ blood, is great. This is what happens when we put ourselves into the text. In the end, you should be praying for your father and listening to the Holy Spirit. Very well explained. On that, modalists agree with the Bible. Youve encouraged me twice first by your gratitude, and second by letting the world know that youre paying attention! Paul was certainly a special case, as dont forget what he did to the church, by such destructive degradation he perpetrated on it; and even Jesus made response to it; for I will show him how much he (Paul) must suffer for My names sake. Acts 9:16, and thus buffeting, because of revelations, was part and partial. He appears to be a genuine person that is, I dont see him as a liar who poses as a follower of Jesus for personal gain. A man goes to heaven by putting his faith in Jesus and Jesus alone . God bless you brother. I too get tired of the nonsense, and the focus on secondary issues, and on the desire to be entertaining rather than edifying. Id like to ask you some very direct questions, and hope that youll be straightforward in your answer: Do you consider Steven Furtick a false teacher, or not? Its clear that God does some miracles on the basis of a persons faith, and that God does some miracles independent of anyones faith. Dont trust me. He was unable to do many miracles there because of their disbelief. And PHILLIPS Can we say they werent born again? Apart from this he also a songwriter and a best-selling national author as specified by one of the leading publications in the country. Another might be that Jesus, in some sense, rewards faith with action. We will see how full of sinful judgemental, misguided jealousy you are. Singular: just like in English, the number of subjects that the verb applies to. He started in Lenox, MA and fled the area (for legal reasons) and continued to move around the country ultimately settling again in Baltimore, MD.

A good example of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is Jesus baptism. Truly, thats implied throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testament and its one of the ways we know which teachings are true and which are false. If you can provide evidence that one of these people has recanted their false teaching, please let me know. Jesus did say that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. Jakes (prosperity gospel, New Apostolic Reformation, modalism, proponent of women "pastors") his mentor, yokes with numerous false teachers, allows women and false teachers to preach at his "church". We cant know them all, as God has not revealed them to us. When God tells us to not commit adultery, its not simply because He thinks we should avoid adultery its because adultery is contrary to who God is. Im sorry that you and I disagree on this, my friend but my position is not my own. He was able to. I have no idea whether this was the first time or only the most recent time youve been irresponsible, and thats none of my business. There are two problems in that quote that relate directly the passage in question. I dont believe youre making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, I have the final word on what gets published, but that only applies when people are being unduly combative or promoting things I cant promote. I want you to know the Scriptures. While its true that our faith can prompt God to act, our lack of faith cannot prevent Him from acting if He wants to. In this case, those consequences might be only a few minutes of ritual uncleanness, or most of a day. As this comes back to the baby and bath water analogy. As for; , our lack of faith cannot prevent Him from acting if He wants to, is partly right, as the word says he wants to,; While it is an imperfect term, its the best one we can come up with. They had, apparently, disputed the indisputable. As a teacher, Steven Furtick should be avoided. If Im not a man of God then why did I start out this ministry with ZERO readers and grow to over 160,000 per month in a short period of time? That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. I do applaud those who have obtained these things legitimately. The best analogy Ive come across and the one that Ive found is not only the most useful but the most accurate, is the term family. This video was also made on the basis of these guide. He draws us to Himself, or we could not be saved. Yes, we do not agree, but right, using KJV word limit was an honest mistake, but hard to lose ones self from it, especially when growing up in the 60s with that one being the top seller. Not Maybe Jesus chose not to exercise His power because they wouldnt acknowledge Him as Messiah, or Maybe Jesus decided not to perform more miracles because people didnt really want to be healed, or Maybe Jesus knew that more miracles would accomplish nothing for the Kingdom, or anything like that. God wanted Paul to be healed, but Paul had some hidden sin that prevented it. In John 16:7 Jesus said, It is for your good that I am going away. Ill be drinking coffee and pondering more of your thoughts. I have confidence that it happens all the time, all around the world. The point of the narrative, however, has. Paul didnt speak faith-filled words to manifest in the physical the reality that he had already been healed in the spiritual. I agree with you on Steven Furtick and have warned several friends about him. In our natural state, we want nothing to do with God. It only resulted in God following through on His promise. And if you have so go into such length to disprove a blessed church you are the deceiver please reach out to me on this matter and lets pray on it ..In Jesus name I ask or be held accountable . Pastor Steven Furtick. If the truth matters, then repeating the errors of others is also a problem. I hope you wont be discouraged by what Ive written, and I hope youll accept the challenge to dig into Gods Word to see the truth for yourself. Lets see what the apostle John says in 2 John 1: Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If Steven Furtick teaches things that contradict the Bible, were supposed to call him out on it. Thats okay. Doctrinally, its immensely problematic to suggest that Gods ability to do ANYTHING is limited by ANYONE or ANYTHING. Jesus wasnt blocked. Modalism has been considered heretical by the entire Body of Christ for almost 2000 years, so its not as if its a new idea. Got it. Im sure we can agree on this: salvation is not the end, its the beginning. I currently have a dad who has pastored for 40+ years. May I share a harsh scripture that not only you, but all of us, may need to consider, Acts 5:38,39. Seriously. I do not agree with His saying; What God did when he sent his son [he] broke the Law for love. Is totally wrong, for because of the Law (as you know this), Christ had to come as a perfect man, just like the law says, a perfect lamb was to be sacrificed, for True he draws us to himself (hearing the Gospel, as there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved), but it takes two steps for salvation as it is (by grace), but it also takes the second part (through faith) Ephesians 2:8. God would have been an abstract theory. He shared this scripture in relation to Ephesians 3:20 that God is able to do exceeding abundantly but it is according to the power that works in us,.. Any way here it is explained; [Edit: link removed]. All we have to do is compare the gospel as expressed in the New Testament with anybodys teachings to see if they match. Because as created creatures in a 3 dimensional world, we can understand how one can be 3-a carrot sliced in three pieces is still a carrot- but we cant understand how 3 can be one. Thats the reason that so many of the warnings in the New Testament say to not be deceived: to avoid that, we must know the gospel. Its an observation. I never assume someone is saved,born again because they like to debate Gods Word. Elevation Church What ethnicity is Steven Furtick?-----Our mission is informing people correctly. Salvation IS a huge deal but if our only concern was salvation, we wouldnt need most of the New Testament. One would think they know God better than we do. Lets pretend for a moment that youre right, though. He likes to hear them and I think most people are that way. And Jesus said unto him, Go your way; your faith has made you whole. Hes not alone, unfortunately. Let me know how I can help, because I want to help. Feel free to continue disagreeing, if you dont see what I see.

Be transformed into an advocate for truth to protect yourself and your loved ones from the wolves that the Scriptures talk about. Joyce Meyer, greatest Bible teacher alive today . I didnt cite the judgment part because I think he goes too far. That would make Him subordinate to the law, and to the one who gave the law. Paul was unaware that God could heal him, so he was never healed. Needs a dose of 1 Peter 5:5, as we all must! They dont use sober judgment. God did not break the Law, He followed it to the letter but, rather than punishing us, He punished Himself as a demonstration of love.

Ernest Angley made the same kind of claim: By begging God in fear, doubt, despair, rather than asking in faith, He is limited.

Sure, Furtick has said some strange things, and You should speak up against such, but to include the entire faith teachings is another thing. Why say that He AND the Father would indwell us, rather than simply saying I? We are told it in scripture, and accept it on faith. Come on, Angela.

Saint Laurent men's brown Boots $1,145. God wasnt powerless yet Steven Furtick claims that He was. Do you agree with him that God broke the law for love, or do you think thats at least an inartful attempt to explain something true?

Paul was talking about PEOPLE exercising gifts improperly in church and CREATING chaos, which clearly would not be from God. What is wrong with saying; the power is in us, that we are the ones who determine whether were healed, and that God has already provided healing for all believers but we have to manifest it by faith?

That doesnt make it wrong, of course but we should be careful about embracing concepts that are far removed from their source. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 Showing he wants to, but his longsuffering is towards our lack of faith, for without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
