From the Christian Research Net: Richard Abanes thinks so. In his article Don’t Believe Everything You Read…On the Internet the apologist for Rick Warren writes: It’s almost beyond belief that individuals supposedly indwelt by the Holy Spirit could be partakers of such activity.

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA Dr. Peter Jones begins this dead on target assessment of apostatizing evangelicalism: My colleague, Mike Horton, has just published a book, Christless Christianity.

Ya know, it’s not always easy in the lives of those preaching their doctrines of demons. Jay Bakker, pastor of the goat herd at Revolution Church, has already told us about a personal chat he had with the LORD God Almighty Who apparently has confided in “pastor” Jay that He’s now changed His mind about the practice of […]
