Amen! His word is always right and He is faithful.
This is true below whether we experience it or not - for whatever reason.
Psalm 103:2-5 (NASB)
[SUP]2 [/SUP] Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; [SUP]3 [/SUP] Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;
[SUP]4 [/SUP] Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
[SUP]5 [/SUP] Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Deuteronomy 30:15 (NASB)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] "See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity;
Psalm 35:27-28 (NASB)
[SUP]27 [/SUP] Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant."
[SUP]28 [/SUP] And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
Amen...let them that are perfect in ministry be the first ones to stone the other people thatg have messed up or are trying to restore someone that is in error.
It looks like to me that Mr. Johnson was fulfilling Gal. 6:1 by trying to restore those that have erred. I believe the operative word here is " You who are spiritual."
Galatians 6:1-2 (NASB)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
[SUP]2 [/SUP] Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
But people are free to have their own opinions.

oh my lands Grace!
I don't agree with all the ganging up on every ministry either and I can see where a number twist what you say
but Bentley?
maybe you should do some research
Mr Johnson cannot restore Bentley because you cannot restore a person so deceived by the devil he says God gave him a female angel by the name of Emma for his very own escort
restoration is for those who have fallen and actually acknowledge it
even so, you don't jump back in and everyone forgets what you did
what Bentley does and is would fit in much better with what Paul said regarding the man sleeping with his father's wife in Corinth
yeah, we can have our own opinions or actually deal with sin the way the Bible tells us to
that opinion thing of yours is stretching it IMO

It's quite alarming to see folks who do nothing but rebuke and offer no kindness, honesty, helping hands. I guess they think they where born to rebuke and nothing else matters.
Debating rebuking what ever has its usage, learning correcting etc.. but the others things I mention that is surely has its weight in Gold.
Sorry to hear you are confused.
You know, the Lord is not the author of confusion so if you seek Him thru His Word He will clear that confusion up for you... plus, you probably need the devil cast out to.
Let me bring you up to speed... he was a pagan by his own words who rejected Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation.
He was just another lost soul who those the beatles were bigger than God... how wrong he was and is.
Religious people who pick and choose which parts of God's Word they accept and reject... not accepting the whole counsel of God.... deserve to be rebuked.
Jesus rebuked 'em, the Apostles rebuked 'em... seeing how some of the folks on here reject God's promises, I thought I'd get in on some of that action cause some of the folks here need to be shown what God's Word says on various subjects.
And, no need to be "quite alarmed" as God did not give us a spirit of fear... that be of the devil, and those that know the Word of God know that and as a result they don't get all alarmed 'bout anything.

Rebuke yerselfs... and who is Pete anyway?
Hey, you forgot this one...
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
In Matt 7 Jesus is speaking of what we sow is what we reap (with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged)... so, it's not altogether wrong to judge is it is being done righteously and that means going by what God's Word says.
If something is in opposition to Gods Word... then it need to be judged as not being right.

well, it does not mean do not judge what is taught because if it did, the Bereans would have been scolded and not commended
God does not want us judging the hearts of others because our judgement is not capable of seeing into someone's heart
we are to judge the teaching, preaching, prophesying or whatever else that fits into the category of taking care of the sheep
even so, I certainly agree that constantly looking for fault is not correct.
in the case of someone like Todd Bentley, there has been no real turning from the sin. There have been excuses and coddling but Bentley is not a man of God and those who think he is are deceived.
We have church discipline that is not used when it should be.
