I know that Mr. Schamback was a beloved brother in the Lord and he has left this earth and just as Paul says - to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I fully expect to see him throughout eternity at some point and I'm sure he will be still shouting out about how good God is. We have a great salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ! He is faithful to all of us.
Hebrews 12:15 (NASB)

3 John 1:2
2–4. Personal Good Wishes and Sentiments
2. I wish above all things that] Rather, I pray that in all respects; literally, concerning all things. It might well surprise us to find S. John placing health and prosperity above all things; and though the Greek phrase (περὶ πάντων) has that meaning sometimes in Homer, yet no parallel use of it has been found in either N.T. or LXX.
prosper] The word (εὐοδούσθαι) occurs elsewhere in N.T. only Rom_1:10 and 1Co_16:2, but is frequent in LXX. Etymologically it has the meaning of being prospered in a journey, but that element has been lost in usage, and should not be restored even in Rom_1:10.
and be in health] Bodily health, the chief element in all prosperity: Luk_7:10; Luk_15:27; comp. Luk_5:31. We cannot conclude from these good wishes that Gaius had been ailing in health and fortune: but it is quite clear from what follows that ‘prosper and be in health’ do not refer to his spiritual condition, and this verse is, therefore, good authority for praying for temporal blessings for our friends. In the Pastoral Epistles ‘to be in health’ (ὑγιαίνειν) is always used figuratively of faith and doctrine.
The order of the Greek is striking, ‘all things’ at the beginning being placed in contrast to ‘soul’ at the end of the sentence: in all things I pray that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as prospereth thy soul. The verse is a model for all friendly wishes of good fortune to others.

I think this thread could use these verses looking at how some people are being toward others.

[SUP]30[/SUP] Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
[SUP]31 [/SUP] Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

I saw Schambach several times..... on TBN.
He was a regular there, esp during their beg-a-thons.
Two things about those that run on TBN:
1. If they can't discern they're running with devils, they're not much of a preacher.
2. Those that run with devils are just like them. (I've been saying that a long time about those on CC that do it.
)

Yes. He was implemental in fleecing the sheep, a trademark of false teachers and trademark of those who preach and embrace the false WoF/Prosperity lie.
Interesting analysis of this theology and its foundations
Spurgeon's Cigar: The surprisingly systematic televangelist---updated
The points made are ones that match sermons and videos of these preachers and their
ideas. It plainly is not just part of the faith, it is false teaching by people who are following
theology and not Christ.

I read this story one time that I believe illustrates the truth of God wants us to have an abundance so that we can be a blessing to others - in saying that - there are the true riches that uses the common mammon riches of this world.
There was a lady that was working her field in South Africa and she found a large diamond. That night a beggar came to her door hungry - she fed him and the Spirit of God within her said to give him this diamond. She did because she knew that God is her provider for all things and she didn't have her trust in the things of this world.
A year later the same beggar guy came back to her house - all dressed nice and looked healthy. He gave her the diamond back and said. " I don't need your diamond - I need what is in you that would influence you to give someone like me such a gift."
That is the true riches in action using this world's riches.
God uses the riches of this world to be a blessing unto others but it's all a matter of the heart. Where is our true trust? In things or in God who richly gives us all things to enjoy?
1 Timothy 6:17 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

I guess Baptists are all devils too huh?

I agree about halfway with the Pharisees in this thread.
I can never call the body of Christ devils. They cross the line when their fangs come out.
I have never seen the Phariseeism that it wasn't at least half right.
They hold their "rightness" up as they did with Jesus. They have no clue as to their error. Blindness takes them out. They have never seen,or studied " error by emphasis",because it is not in their workbook.
They are wrong. Where they got off is at some place where "bible",and men,took the place of the savior.
In all their "rightness" they fail. They test,and prove their rightness,while they trample the one that is suppose to inhabit them,but in their "wisdom" they have found a "better" way.
That is the spirit that guides them to attack.
That spirit is what is revealed in Foxes' book of martyrs. It attacks what is out of their box.
