Talk About Arrogance

Can you imagine actually making the statement, "When God doesn't move, I move God."?

I don't know what God Todd Bentley thinks he is "moving" but the God of the Bible is not controlled by man. Psalm 115 says:

Our God is in the Heavens; he does all that he pleases.

Psalm 115:3

What else needs to be said about Mr. Bentley?

More On Charles Finney

A few days ago I posted a couple of sermon links along with a few paragraphs explaining the dangerous doctrine of Charles Finney. Since then I have had an exchange with a fellow blogger who holds to theses doctrines and has been challenging my conclusions. In order to show that I am not alone in my classification of Finney as a heretic I am posting this link to an article by Phil Johnson (Pyromaniacs, The Spurgeon Archive) where he examines the teachings of Charles Finney and shows where he went wrong by using Finney's own words; I highly recommend this article:

The Dangerous Doctrine of Charles Finney

Over the past few weeks I have been studying the Theology and teachings of Charles Finney. As I stated in my post The Heresy of Open Theism (Part 2) Charles Finney is one of the Theologians quoted most often by Open Theists and those who embrace the view of Moral Governmental Atonement.

Today I found a few sermons on Sermon Audio.com (a great site, by the way) that give a quick biography of Mr. Finney and then show, from Scripture, where he want astray in his doctrine and teachings.

You may be asking yourself why am I even concerned with a Theologian who lived almost 200 years ago? The quick answer is that a lot of what he did is still influencing our churches today - and not in a good way. If you ever wondered where things like the Altar Call came from take some time to listen to these sermons - you might be surprised by what you learn.
