Do Cessationists Have Any Evidence at All to Support Their Theory?
I read with interest James Lasher’s excellent review of the “Cessationist” movie. I also noted that earlier this month, Pastor John MacArthur hosted a Cessationist Conference at his Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California.
I was reminded of an interesting encounter I had years ago that highlighted how flimsy is their argument for the cessation of the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I Challenge a Seminary Professor with Historical Facts
I had just published the first edition of my book 2000 Years of Charismatic Christianity (now published by Charisma House) and was attending the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. ETS is an academic society whose members are, for the most part, cessationists.
Jonathan Cahn: Will Innocent Blood Be Shed in America?
Multitudes around the world have been waiting for prophet Jonathan Cahn’s thoughts on the recent atrocities in Israel. He let loose with a furious message of current events, historical significance and a portrait of the suffering of the Jewish people since the beginning of time in a recent sermon to his Beth Israel congregation in Wayne, Jersey.
Many around the world have celebrated Hamas’ dastardly deeds since Oct. 7 against Israel and the Jewish people, most with a glib and enthusiastic show of support for the brutal terrorist organization.
One thing that disturbs Cahn, however, is that many in the United States have followed suit and rejoiced over the murderous and senseless destruction of Jewish families, women and babies. Because of that sick attitude, Cahn believes the same situation the Israelis have experienced over the past week could invade the shores of America with a much more intense execution.
What Turned This Former Hezbollah Fighter Into a Warrior for the Gospel?
In early October, Afshin Javid was visiting Israel with his ministry Cyrus Call, which promotes friendship between Persians and Jews. But like millions of others, he found himself in the middle of a war when Hamas launched a bloody attack on Oct. 7.
As a former Hezbollah fighter, Afshin himself is no stranger to violence. He sat down with CBN News to tell his story.
“I was on my way to the United States to convert Christians to Islam, and I had 30 illegal passports at that time. I was arrested and put in jail in Malaysia. I was a dedicated Muslim who not only prayed the prayers, but I read the Koran once every 10 days, cover to cover. So I was very dedicated in my time in jail,” Javid said. {eoa}
