Bill Johnson is quoted as saying: "Music bypasses all the intellectual barriers and when the anointing of God is on a song, people will begin to believe things they wouldn’t believe through teaching."
This used to be on Bethel Music's website but has since been thoroughly scrubbed. This is a link I posted in another thread, and as you can see, the page is no longer available: https://web.archive.org/web/20201101123245/https://bethelmusic.com/blog/bill-johnson-quotes/.
Think about this. Johnson and others like him know Contemporary Christian Music has the power to bypass critical thinking so suggestions can be planted in people's minds. What does Johnson have against teaching? Is he afraid people will start to think for themselves and see him for what he is? Does he prefer it if people put their Bible's away and believe whatever he tells them? I think so, that's pretty obvious.

Actually you not on ignore I just don't bother dealing with you anymore. You negative spirit and your deaf ears have only been a brick wall I have tried to reason with you I have tried tell you about this stuff I even told you what was coming but you have no intention of listening to anyone at all your not here to learn or grow your not here to shine you just don't have the spirit in you at least you are dry and need water and fyi I'm not the only one who thinks this and yeah you say you don't care but that is the issue your stubborness negative heart and how you go about inserting yourself to threads bringing only trouble somehow always managing to cause a debate or a back and forth
So yeah I don't put you on ignore and have even if you haven't noticed given you some agree things on the like button I am not ignoring you out of spite I just don't deal with it anymore you and I both know the history between us and all I have tried to explain to you.
So until you start listening to others not me but I mean everyone else here who has tried to reason with you then I don't deal with you anymore it is in God's hands at that point.

Where's it written I have to listen to you? Who put you in charge? Sorry, I'm not looking for a guru. I wish you could hear how ridiculous you sound. You're no better than anyone else around here so quit acting like it and get down off your high-horse. You need to put your own house in order before you start lecturing me.
By the way, whispering about others and backbiting is very unChristian; you might want to start there.

What I NEVER find on these "religious newscasts" are stats on how many churches are closing & how many run to the megachurches to be entertained. WHO in christian news mentions that we are smack dab in the Falling Away? NONE!
You would think christian news anchors would be warning the people of what's to come, but they're aren't. Most are smooth-talking ear ticklers.
Isn't it great how many independent churches are springing up? Not really. I visited one about a month ago that sets up eating tables in the main room & eat during every service. The "pastor" wore a t-shirt & shorts looking like he just finished mowing his yard! Lots of music & eating, while no real order. He says he's feeding the visitors who are poor, but it's the members who are doing all the eating.
This is only an example of where the church is going.
Show me an easy church that entertains with exciting music with no conviction, & I'll show you a church that's going to go thru the Great Tribulation.

Christians ought to be like the Bereans, not only to check the preachers theology, but especially the praise & worship to make sure it's not full of "Me Songs" or like this one that states that speaking the name of Jesus is all you need to do everywhere.
Raising your hands & saying 'Jesus' won't get you anything but a feel good.
Please, be more careful with what you listen to & post as christian. False worship has become bigger than the false teachers & false prophets combined.

I have already said to you many times that I am not better than anyone you just don't care. I said I was an open book I did everything I could to show that I was being honest in everything and that includes not being better than anyone else.
But you still don't believe me and there is nothing else I can do to reason with you so have a nice day.

So trouble maker me is wondering how is your Philosophy of which you refused to provide anything to call it fact? Hidden scripture? Pjilosophy? all I wanted was to get you to understand that the things you were speaking of is rooted in the occult and honestly I dodged a bullet with you
I ddid a lot of research and had wise council on a forum for Christian Philosophy they taught and explained it to me andf when I said the reason why I was wanting to learn it and spoke of only a few things you said to ask if it is considered philosophy.
One of them explained to me about gnostic emotionalism and all kinds of spiritual groups that are blending in to the body ect. But not only are you on a dangerous road honestly I think you just like the feeling of being spiritually filled I don't think your wanting to go further and you were all for basically anything I said no martter what until this fight between us.
Suddenly your calling me a troubule maker and the rest of your posts about me were just not worth reading you fliup sides so quickly don't you and yet I told you that if I am friends with someone it means something you however showed that as long as I agree with you we are best buds but if I should dare question you and try to help you see the danger that I explained to you that I know of because my sister is in this stuff I know the signs the red flags.

P
Sharing ones good news seems to be a unpopular thing to do.
Sharing a christian song between friends seems to be critical too.
Its no wonder why this world is so confused about christians or so called christians.
I believe everyone is entitled to there opinion but to express it to derail a thread, to criticize others, to sow discourse is pathetic.
This whole forum imo is the condition of the church in general and its a sad one to say the least. May the Lord forgive us all.
The title of this thread "its time to shine saints" refers to the light that is in you ....not the glitter of your sword.
We have all been given freedoms in Christ Jesus, some profitable some not but none the less they are freedoms.
I thought we could rejoice in the fact that the Lord was moving even in the midst of the storm we are all dealing with in this present day. Some of these responces say different.
Faith comes by hearing....hearing brings hope....spirituality is a discipline to be mastered.
