Re: Dr. Gerald Jeffers

Conservative Appies are a lot like Catholics.

1. Priest and/or Pastor infallibility.
2. Priest and/or Pastor is "accountable" for the people.
3. The church has the right to create doctrines as it sees fit (standards).

So, after 3 years of forum dormancy, you suddenly appear with this?

I spoke from experience when stating how I felt earlier on...

Re: Dr. Gerald Jeffers

Haven't read this thread but I can tell you that this man and "ministry" is very dangerous. I know firsthand. He's burned many bridges with entire districts of the UPC and has created a lot of trouble in churches and brought division among families under the guise of hyper-spirituality. Proverbs 6 says that God hates those that sow discord among brethren. Be circumspect, very circumspect.

The Antichrust and false prophet will decieve the world with "signs and wonders". Pharaohs magicians duplicated some of the plagues that God performed in Egypt. The witch of Endor was able to conjure Samuel's spirit. The devil can perform supernatural wonders, he does have some power. He cannot, however, bear the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus said we would know people and be able to judge them by their fruit, not by the miraculous. Christians should be very cautious with these matters. I'm afraid we have been too cavalier about supernatural manifestations. I believe in them, they've happened to me, I've witnessed things happen to others but I've also seen a lot that seemed questionable. And I've also seen a lot of people that gravitate to these types of things and many of them don't bear the kind of fruit that one should, being they are so close to God and used by Him, supposedly.

2-3 witnesses? How about entire Districts? Hundreds of churches, hundreds of ministers, thousands of members?

I've never met the man personally, so I probably shouldn't say anything. However, I have read official letters from our leaders....and I trust them. We need to pray for him...
