The problem with Bethel/Redding..

I live 80 miles south of them so there's quite a few Bethelites down here. That place is a disease.

Never heard of that Christian group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethel_Church_(Redding,_California)

Bethel Church is a non-denominational charismatic church that was established in Redding, California as an Assemblies of God congregation in 1954 and broke with the AofG in 2006.
The Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry was founded by the church in 1998.............................

Funny vid tho............
The blond in that video appears to be a pretty whacked out, or "high" on the Holy Spirit,.....
but what a cutie!!

Also, what's the deal with the guy carrying a sign with Benny Hinn on it in that vid?
Is that sign carrier equating that street preacher to him? Is B.H. associated with that Pentecostal group?

That is disturbing, and there are many, many more in a similar situation. There are mega churches in and around Charlotte, for example, which are only one or two notches better than this. They have exchanged teaching and learning with experience. and filling seats.

Wow, Benny pushed that woman....and the other woman? Scary. Is that a cult?

Is Bethel a cult? Maybe. They're so far out there that they had to break away from the Assemblies of God and strike out on their own as a non-denominational church. That's basically like Lex Luthor being cast out of the Legion of Doom because his crimes were too much for them.

HA! I agree. When the AoG thinks that you're too charismatic, you might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

The state of the church is saddening, and with relativism in the air we breath, you can't even try to correct this stuff. If you do you will be slapped with judging or being a hater. Everyone claims his or her person truth, and they get away with that by turning Christianity from essentially doctrinal to completely experiential. You can't disagree with the whacky ideas they got from their "personal Jesus", because they claim to have experienced it. Texts of scripture as useless in correcting them, as the "had a word" or a "vision" or a "warm feeling all over". . .

Again, this is an extreme case, but many, many megachurches are on the same path.

Horrible. Said it before and will say it again... What better way for Satan to deceive long-term and effectively than to have institutions of belief like this that make people think their unrighteousness is righteousness.

Does anyone know where the Holy Spirt can be accused of causing disorder and chaos? I've only seen Him create order from chaos.

It's a good point, as God is not the Author of confusion.
