Those preachers will have to answer before the Lord ... not all of them are crooks, some of them totally believe what they are doing.
You should not be looking at them.
Your eyes should be on what the bible teaches, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness then all the things the nations seek shall be added unto you. Chase God and His blessings will chase you.
The problem is the theology of "faith" preachers who always think you must do something first in order for God to bless you. It comes from the freewill belief. They put faith before grace, always a mistake.
People don't think this but God waits for generations to pass. He has been waiting for the turn or burners generation to pass. Now He is doing a new thing in the church. New wine will not go into old bottles.
The old folks do not like what God is doing.
This right here is probably the number one thing that permits false teachers to keep on teaching false doctrine. They can justify themselves by telling themselves: "We're not the bad guys, those others are." Doesn't matter if the doctrine they're teaching is as false as it comes so long as their motives are "pure."
What about the false doctrines YOU preach?
I think concerning the stark naked message of turn or burn is actually a warp, whatever truth there is it is twisted into caricature. And that is what all hyper teachers do. They do so with the prosperity doctrine.
When I hear some preachers preaching the more traditional evangelical message, I think this guy is no preacher, there is no unction, nobody gets saved, nobody is blest. That's false preaching too.
I am not responsible for what others preach, I AM responsible for what I listen to. Jesus preached prosperity and so did Paul.
Where do you think the wealth of this planet came from?
If someone says I'm preaching false doctrine I'll listen to them and examine the scriptures. One thing I won't do is make excuses and say my motives are good so I'm okay; it's those other guys over there with impure motives teaching the same thing we need to watch out for.
watch out for them ... I do.
They have always been in the church in one form or another, The Apostles warned about them.
I don't think your motives are good.
Repentance, change your mind, not just opinions but change the very way you think. This is what Christians find so difficult.
When Jesus met Peter where is this turn or burn?, no He greets him "thou art Simon thou shalt be called a rock"
And here are those "sons of thunder" and Nathaniel "a true Israelite in whom is no guile"
When did Peter repent? it was when he saw that miracle of the fishes, so many fishes. He fell at Jesu's feet and cried "Lord depart from me a sinful man"
When did He wag His finger at the Magdalene? or the woman at the well. They repented alright. He offered her water to drink which would become a well of water in her springing up unto everlasting life. No man ever spake to her like that and she'd known a few.
They are powerful words to one who is thirsty, they are words that save ... she wasn't even a Jew.
Do you know why Christians don't speak that way to sinners? because they don't have that water to give, they have enough to have gotten saved with themselves but it doesn't overflow.
I believe in the last judgement and I believe the wicked will go to hell and will say so. I do not believe in "turn or burn" preaching.
