Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I've not heard much about him, but I know that Bro. Barnes spoke of him at times. I've heard others say he saw things in the spirit realm much like Bro. Stoneking and Bro. Barnes. I know of his book on the Godhead and Angels, Demons and People (haven't read them yet). His book, God in 13 Dimensions, what it is about?

Also, who can tell me anything about him? Some called him a mystic, others a true man of God. Elder Epley, maybe you would know something?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I have read his book on the Godhead, and found it to be excellent. I did not care for the portions of his book on God in 13 dieinsions. However, that may be a matter of personal taste.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Is he related to him?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

commonsense went to his church many, many years ago. I'll let her know about this thread.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I have been told he holds the Biblical doctrine of the Logos. That God had a visible image of himself in the OT.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I did not agree with him on this theory. Some of his Godhead statements were confusing to me?
He did deal in the supernatural alot. I never got to meet him personally.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Gee Steve Im sorry you did not get the full revelation of Jesus Christ. There is more to Jesus Christ than meets the eye!:highfive

Is Reeves dead?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Yes he is, Fred Childs has the church now.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Is he the same Fred Childs who has prophetic gifts? Seems like I remember hearing him ministering at the Church David Huston Pastors. Where is this Church?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I think I remember us having this discussion a few times?:nod

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

One thing I remember is I read in a part of one book of his God said only pray while in San Francisco (book on friends coffee table, can't remember name) - no witnessing. That was unique.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

The big reason I ask is my hunger for God and seeing the sovereign move of God that's coming (and in places already happening). That and a desire for an experience like Moses on the mountain in Exodus 33 & 34. Bro. Barnes and Stoneking appear to have similar experiences, and it seems Bro. Reeves did as well. I'd like to be that close to Him.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

A very good desire to have. And remember we need not be be a famous minister to have a great move of the Spirit in our lives. The Lord has astounded me many times with heavenly encounters.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I could care less about being famous (I like a quiet home life), I just want to walk, see and hear what and where they have and build on it - that depth in Him.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Pragmatist, have you heard anything from commonsense?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

We attended his church in Granite City 1974 to 1977.

He had a unique ministry and was often misunderstood. The first service we attended had me wondering what was going on. He wasn't always easy to follow.

He had spiritual gifts not always approved of or accepted by mainstream UPC, and the church was just across the river from UPC Hqtrs. :preach

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

In 1976 he began a period of ministry involving spiritual warfare.

He had a deliverance ministry that was powerful and effective. As I recall he probably prayed for everyone in the congregation. people waited in line in the side aisle and went on the platform for prayer. ( this took place over a few months ). Congregation size was about 300.


When he laid hands on you he became physically weak and 2 or 3 elders were always beside him to literally hold him up or he would collapse.

As word of this spread he used this gift in other churches in the states and overseas.

He felt that many who were sick or depressed needed deliverance.......but not in the sense of demon possession.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

He sounds like an interesting man. I remember hearing about how this gifts were discouraged in the 60's and 70's, yet he and Bro Stoneking, Bro Barnes and Bro G.A. Mangun were often frowned at because they worked and flowed in the Spirit. It sounds like he tapped into something many don't or don't want to.

Commonsense, was it him that God sent to San Francisco (or some city) and said don't do any outreach, just bring down the strongholds by prayer? I remember reading that somewhere. If that was him what book was that in?

Thanks for your reply!

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Was there fellowship between Kenneth Reeves and Ross Smith in Granite City?
They were both OP ministers in Granite City. I don't know how much their ministry times overlapped.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Reeves often saw angels in the Spirit that no one else saw. I remember one story where he saw three angels walking around on the inside of his church. They were going someplace else and just stopped by his church. If I remember right his daughter was his asst'n Pastor for a while.

The first time he saw an angel he was reading worldly books in his bedroom, an angel came in the window and just looked at him in a disapproving way.

Be careful what you seek after. It costs a great deal to be close.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I never heard anyone knock on Bro. Barnes because when he worked in the Spirit he was right on.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I think I have two or three books by Kenneth Reeves but I haven't read them for a while. I think one is on the godhead and one is on the Holy Ghost Baptism.

The only thing I remember reading (and my memory is hazy on this) is that he said he was not "Jesus Only" but was "Lord Jesus Christ Only." So I figured he was one of those guys who believed in a triune name--Lord plus Jesus plus Christ-- for a triune God -- Father plus Son plus Holy Ghost--- and if Father, Son and Holy Ghost could be considered one God, then those three terms (Lord and Jesus and Christ) could be considered one name.

Some Oneness Pentecostals say that those who use "Lord Jesus Christ" in baptism are trinitarian --using three names for three persons.

When I was a young Christian and joined the Baptist Church I remember reading a UPC tract that said the name of the Father is Lord, the name of the Son is Jesus, and the name of the Holy Ghost is Christ so God's full name is "Lord Jesus Christ." I had some problems with that but there are some OP's that teach it that way. I don't know if anyone teaches it that way any more.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

"So I figured he was one of those guys who believed in a triune name--Lord plus Jesus plus Christ-- for a triune God"

You would be wrong! That's not at all what he believed!

"A UPC tract that said the name of the Father is Lord, the name of the Son is Jesus, and the name of the Holy Ghost is Christ so God's full name is "Lord Jesus Christ." That would be exactly right!

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Sam, do you believe that the name of the Son of God is Son, or is it Jesus?

There's a lot of difference between a title and a name!

Is this a real question?

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

It's a real question alright!

Sam can't seem to answer the question maybe you can!

Why not baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, plus all of the rest of the names (titles) in Isa 7:9 Wonderful, Mighty God, Prince of Peace etc, and of the H.G.?

You walk into a room full of men and say, hey "son".

And everyone turns around and looks at you, because they are all "sons".

But they all have a name!

Hey son what's your name?

and ye shall call his name Jesus!

I'm convinced that either you or I are stoned.

I don't know how or why Sam's post sent you in that direction. Sam believes that the name of God's Son is Jesus. There was nothing in his post to make a sober person think otherwise.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I got baptized by faith, what significance does it hold because of the words produced by another mans vocal chords?

There is what 4 different lines used in regards to baptism in acts, none are the same, and one does not even use the name, just said they was baptised in the name of the Lord..

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

so the Father has one name--Lord
the son has another name --Jesus
the Holy Ghost has still another name --Christ
???

three separate names but they make up one name?
sounds like three separate persons but they make up one God

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

there are just differences of opinion among Christians when it comes to which "words" to use during the baptism ritual. we're not all gonna see this the same. Some cover it by using a combination of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost plus the name of Jesus and maybe throw in Lord and Christ for good measure.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

but let's not get this discussion off track by talking about baptism.

I did not know Kenneth Reeves but it sounds like he was a good man, anointed and used in the gifts plus a good teacher.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

we need more building up and less tearing down

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Lord and Christ are titles not names, and seeing as how both properly belong to Jesus, I see no problems baptizing someone 'in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ'. The other explanation sounds ridiculous to me.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

These same people are probably also the ones who require that baptisms be done in "moving water", aka, a river, lest the sins not be washed away.

The thought of denying salvation due to a technicality seems kind of silly doesn't it. LOL

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Baptism in Jesus' name is not a mere technicality, but attempting to create a specific phrase using the name to declare over people in baptism is a bit much as is the issue with running water.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

I am well aware. I won't go into what all I have been through, but I know God uses broken things (bread, the Lord's body, etc.).

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

These discussions have been going on for years on this site.

There is a scripture that fits these people perfectly....

(II Ti 3:7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

well, some folks think that if titles like Lord or Christ are OK then other titles like Father or Son or Holy Ghost are OK

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Consider how long Joseph and David suffered.

Re: Looking for info on Kenneth Reeves
 

Sam do you remember Coonskinner quoting this same scripture to you a couple of years ago?
