Around the world and in Australia there are Christian groups that seek to stop other pastors and revivals from going. Like "church watch central." They do some church of their own, but seem to focus on speaking against large church pastors like Brian Houston and the Pringles and Ben Fitzgerald. I read from their site that they actually thought the latter practiced witchcraft, and they tried to take him to court, and criticized him for taking self protecting legal action in court.
They think contending for the faith means picking fights. There is big ego in the interpretation of things. Maybe jealousy. "Am I really expected to believe, he, is anointed and that I should not touch him?" They ask questions of the pastors to trap them in engaging with a fighter. The pastors now ask "what is your motive in asking me that question?"
They criticize the New Apostolic Reformation, NAR. This is a bit of a vague movement and seems to be built around what CP Wagner observed the Spirit doing in the twentieth century. Revivals, growth, graces, offices being restored and phenomena. I hear things like that NAR wants to bring back stoning adulterers... I find it hard to verify things, but I plan to call Wagner institute... So they seem to dislike the Holy Spirit. Sometimes they think it is demonic. They call themselves Pentecostals but no longer believe in the gift of tongues. They misinterpret, "Do all things decently and in order."
I recall in one video from a critic group Benny Hinn is pointing as they he had just been holding a book open. The comment is, "Only Satanists ever make that hand symbol. Hinn is actually a Satanist." I have a friend who would fall that sort of stuff.
Persecution goes on and on, Cain versus Abel, the troubles of the prophets, early Christians and Rome, heretics and the Popes, witches and protestant kangaroo courts and councils, the Jews and Nazi Germany... Now some people want to bring back, "guilty until proven innocent".
These people kid themselves if they think they are serving God like this. I wrote to them to ask question about Jesus, but no reply. Surprisingly, I think the wife of the head of one of these moves wrote this song about rumours:
