Questions and Responses

Question: In a dream, Paul Cain saw God put His Spirit upon President Clinton....The future headlines of five specific newspapers were allegedly given in the dream to validate it. Does that mean the prophecy is from God?

Question: John Avanzini claimed to “break the power of debt” for all those who pledged to support his ministry with $1 or more per day. How could anyone be gullible enough to believe he had such power...?

Question: I sent a copy of your recent TBC Update on Joel Osteen to a friend of mine on staff with Joel’s ministry asking if he had any thoughts in regard to the article.

Question: “What can you tell us about the upcoming “America for Jesus” rally taking place in Philadelphia Sept 28&29?

Question: Your November issue has a misleading statement that needs to be publicly corrected: “In spite of Pentecostal and charismatic claims that no Christian need ever be sick....” I am an AOG pastor. Neither my denomination nor I believe that.

Question: In your March newsletter you blasted Kenneth Copeland, John Wimber and the Vineyard churches, the Toronto blessing, the Pensacola revival, Benny Hinn, [etc. Do you] see them all in the same light?

Question: What can you tell me about Rodney M.Howard-Brown. Charismatic churches have been featuring him and he seems to be causing quite a stir.

Question: Some of our friends are former Catholics who have forsaken the traditions of Rome for the truth of Scripture. Recently, however, we have been saddened to see them being drawn to word-faith teaching. What can we tell them?

Question: What is your opinion of how to interpret and act upon Jesus’s assertion in John 14:12?
