Have You Heard of Dr. C.P. Thomas?
 
In his message at Tennessee Campmeeting, Lee Stoneking mentioned some of the miracles that CP Thomas has seen happen in India among the Muslims. Bro. Stoneking called him an "Apostle". He supposedly has won more souls to the Apostolic message than all our other UPCI missionaries combined!

1. He wins Muslims by showing them in the Quran that Jesus is God! They recieve the Holy Ghost and he baptizes them in Jesus name! Bro. Stoneking never mentions if they switch over to the bible.

2. CP Thomas was kidnapped by Al Qaeda militants and taken blindfolded to one of the main leaders who was holding a rifle and surrounded by many others holding rifles. Supposedly, the leader asked him about what he was teaching Muslims. He went to the Quran and showed him where Jesus is God. The leader and several of the other militants supposedly received the Holy Ghost and were baptized in Jesus name!

3. The last story is hard to believe! He was beaten and left for dead in a prison cell. He prayed and told God that he really missed his family. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them he had been immediately transported to his home! There were no bruises, no blood, or any sign of haven been beaten.

Can anyone verify if these stories are true?

Here is a video about him:

I think I have actually met him. I don't believe one iota of this story. If Elder Thomas is winning souls wonderful but to say he is outdoing all the other missionaries combined is absurd. But this kind of sensationalism preached by LS and others seems to be the meat of the hour.

The stories did sound sensational to me, so I'm trying to see if anyone can verify. I know that God can do miracles, but on the other hand I know that stories can be s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d! :D

I know nothing of the miracle so I was not impugning that nor validating it.

Both AD Urshan and BRo Barnes have talked about being
transported to other places supernaturally.

Did Paul have a witness when he had his out of body experience?
Did Peter when the angel led him out? No one else seems to have seen the angel.

I don't know this man LS mentioned, I don't know his character. I would never say yay or nay to this on the basis of witnesses though.

LS talked about the same things concerning this man at the LA campmeeting in 2007. Why do you doubt?

Philip was whisked away from the Ethiopean after baptizing him. What if this guy is the apostle to the muslims?
