First of all Brother Ellis, Bentley needed to get repentence and the Holy Ghost before we could start dealing with issues of maturity. Considering yourself as one deals with another individual who has been over taken in a fault, requires that both need to be on the path of Truth. Not on the path of witchcraft and parlor tricks.

I don't understand this, if Todd Bentley was a Santeria High Priest you all would be praying that he gets saved, but since he wears a mask of Churchanity he is OK and just needs some prayer to get his home life straightened out?

Todd Bentley came from a rough background? What is that suppose to mean?
Brother Ellis, it has to be chapter and book that our lives are measured by, and not how bad our past was. Todd Bentley didn't have a life any more worse than a woman having to deal with a Charismatic preacher playboy.

Lakeland has always been a freak show. The Brownsville Assembly of God church is another sideshow from hell. When you drive by the place at night you can feel the weirdness.

Have you ever heard of the smoking gun? Well, Brother Ellis, that is just what has happened. Mr. Todd has been having too many one on one Bible studies with the Cruzeematic ladies who have been writing him checks. Mr. Bentley has just been caught, and now he has to face the music. Bentley is just another in the long line of Un-Holiness preachers who after time have been exposed.

So, there may be water in a cess pool, but that still doesn't mean you can swim in it.

These are the same people who get stirred at a Benny Hinn crusade?
My lands, have you ever heard of emotions, men get teary eyed at the National Anthem being played. It doesn't mean that the Holy Ghost is moving.
People get all goosebumps at a Benny Hinn Crusade, and that guy is a full blown devil.

Well, he needs to get rebuked. You know what that is? That is what happens to a joker when he rips off nice people with the Bible, and sends those people down the wrong path. Brother Ellis, Todd Bentley needs to apologize to Jesus Christ and make it right by going to an Apostolic Pentecostal Church and getting prayed through until snot bubbles and tears flow. He needs to get the Holy Ghost and remove his little jewels that were more a gimmick than sincerity.
He used the look of our young and hustled Jesus like a vial of crack.
He played the people with his Ozzy Osborn look, while he slept with his Charismatic groupies.
The Word rebukes and exhorts, but the only way it exhorts us is when we stop the excuses and get right. No woman is over joyed when her husband cheats on her. She sure doesn't want the guy off the hook easy. Homeboy was feeling like a big man with the women, and it's his wife who is the one who suffers. Everyone is so worried about the joker with the lip ring, how about his wife who has just been robbed.
Call'em like you see'em Brother Ellis, and NEVER let a cheating man get off the hook easy. Because if he will rip off his wife and kids he will rob you also.
The man is one flesh with his wife, he is not one flesh with anyone else.
So if he will cheat on his own partner, he will not think twice with cheating with anyone else.
Todd Bentley doesn't have a ministry, his first ministry was to his WIFE, and children. While everyone else is feeling goose pimples with Todd, it's his wife who he was supposed to have his first RESPONSIBILITY AND LOYALTY.
If he couldn't take care of his position at home, he sure can't take of his position in the church.
Kicking a man while he's down, how about rebuking a man when he is CAUGHT! Bentley is sorry because of what he did, he is sorry because he was caught. The man is not down, the woman and the kids are down.
Todd Bentley and all those who use Jesus to make money and fame deserve everything they get.
Hopefully after these men get exposed they will turn from the path of death that they are on.
In Jesus name
Brother Benincasa
