I watched the whole thing.
But you must not have listened as well.
He claims several times that Jesus saves. From what? He never explains.
The word repent is absent from his vocabulary except at the end where he never explains what it is when a sinner's prayer is asked to be repeated.
Claims the Holy Spirit waits on man to speak before He can do anything and compares it to creation, claiming the Holy Spirit was waiting on the Word. The Holy Spirit does as He wills in man regardless of their allowance and why would God be waiting on God at creation? Was the Word too busy doing something else at creation and the Holy Spirit was hovering over the water twiddling His invisible thumbs wondering where the Word was? That's asinine.
Thinks we will see a whole generation saved. Probably
latter rain heresy. -"It is important to note that the Assemblies of God deemed the Latter Rain Movement to contain heresy from the very beginning. On April 20, 1949, the Assemblies of God officially denounced Latter Rain teaching, nearly splitting the denomination in the process. Other established Pentecostal groups have passed similar resolutions."
Claims few to no sinners are in church. I would contest this and claim there are many sinners in church who are convinced they are saved but are not because THEY NEVER HEAR THE "ORIGINAL GOSPEL".
Claims it's good thing to be baptized with fire. Uses Matthew 3 (presumably; no exegesis of scripture whatsoever) as his proof text on fire baptism. Matthew 3 in context:
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from
the wrath to come? [SUP]8 [/SUP]Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. [SUP]9 [/SUP]And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. [SUP]10 [/SUP]Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit
and fire. [SUP]12 [/SUP]His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn,
but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
The fire in context here is a judgment on the unbelieving Pharisees. Parallel text is Luke 3 which confirms this. Even if this is a reference to the coming day of Pentecost, the cloven tongues of fire and speaking in tongues were still a sign of judgment on the unbelieving Jews. This man seems to be obsessed with fire.
He claims that:
His congregation is going to be dipped in the fire.
He says that fire will fall on his congregation soon. (Not sure I'd want God's fire falling on me. Sodom and Gomorrah would agree I think)
Jesus is here to baptize you into a river of fire
Has an online "school of fire"?
Says the Holy Spirit is a river of fire. Unfortunate for most, that river leads to the lake since they are under God's judgment.
He [Jesus] is ready to put his arm around you and dip you into that river of liquid fire.
He related a story where he says the whole place (people) was burning.
He says his congregation should be flammable for God.
He says you should be in the fire and the fire in you.
He asked his congregation if they are ready to be dipped in the fire.
He says the fire is going to fall here tonight because "Jesus is here".
He claims several times after that that Jesus is there.
Claims near the end that he is turning from the 99 and going for the one lost sheep. Without trying to read too much into this, this man isn't Jesus.
He claims that God can only use people who are on fire for Him. Funny, I recall many scriptures where Jesus used evil men for his good and glory. They obviously weren't on fire for Him. Not to mention his "proof" text for being on fire claims God is able of these rocks to raise up children unto Abraham. God doesn't need us. He is sovereign over all of creation.
Claims the bible is plain and easy to understand, saying a theologian isn't necessary. I would argue that the deeper wisdom in scripture requires intense and dedicated study and the layman would struggle with most of it. He basically undermines the fact that proper theology and doctrine are necessary for the believer with his statement and effectively turns them away from proper study and exegesis.
Absolutely ZERO exegesis of scripture. Never picked up his bible even once that I saw. Read from it only once. The scriptures he did mention were used incorrectly to back his own preconceptions.
His "original gospel" was never explained. Only talked about miracles and fire. I guess that was his "gospel" though. No explanation of repentance. Only two reference to the cross claiming Jesus saves, but again, no mention of repentance or saves from what. The rest was fire fire fire miracle miracle miracle. He did mention sin at the end, but in the context of being bound by satan. Very little to no accountability put on the unrepentant sinner. No mention of God's wrath abiding on them. No text of the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus apart from him appearing to the 500 and once dying on the cross with no explanation as to WHY he died other than to save them. Save them from what? Very shallow sermon completely devoid of exegesis of scripture. The Gospel wasn't preached here in full. Not even close.
Conclusion:
Overall his "gospel" message seemed to be that of being on fire, dipped in fire, fire falling on you, being flammable, miracles, more fire, more miracles, bound by sin, bound by satan. No accountability put on the sinner, overemphasis of some kind of fire from God, overemphasis of miracles, little to no mention of sin, no mention of the consequences of sin, no mention of the atonement, no mention of God's wrath abiding on the sinner who is an affront to God, claims of an entire generation of people being saved, and no exegesis. He didn't even use his bible.
The service ended with babbling tongues and no interpretation and not according to the order prescribed in Corinthians and then a prayer for miracles, signs, and wonders.
He had the congregation repeat a prayer at the end, but I bet most of them didn't even understand the concept of the words they were saying or what they really meant as they were saying it since the guy never explained any of it. They recited a prayer without being preached the Gospel behind the prayer. Most of these people will be false converts because they will put their faith in that prayer and have no understanding of the meaning behind it. They will remain dead in their sins.
Improper theology, improper presentation of the Gospel, improper exegesis.
We walk by faith, not by sight and an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign.
Matthew 7
[SUP]21 [/SUP]“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [SUP]22 [/SUP]On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ [SUP]23 [/SUP]And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
