You can say that Michael Jackson has died (of which did not even believe in the same God that WE serve) Farrah Fawcett - the founder of immodest short pants for women can be discussed here yet because a CNN current events thread was started, you get all jumpy? Spare me please......just like a remote for a television, if you dont want to read/see something, dont click on it.

In all honesty, the real reason I posted it was not because of the homosexual theme, I posted it because this so called Pentecostal woman (and her congregants) dont know the first thing about a "deliverance" service. Further more, it was the church who posted it on youtube for all eyes to see. If youtube had existed back in the day when my old church was started out, you would have saw the same thing. An unscriptural form of attempting to make someone get delivered (white sheets??? find me one scripture! Elders chanting the Name of Jesus over and over while an individual rolled on the floor??????? find me one scripture! A woman usurping the authority of a man by telling an entire church to keep quiet and dont speak???? find me one scripture).

The post was for mere discussion sake.

P.S. A simple search of the word gay or homosexual on this message board will bring up plenty of posts.

I think Sam was referring to the people who FIRST posted the video--not your starting of the thread.

Anyway, I think its silly to wrestle with people, trying to cast demons out of them. In scripture, Jesus just commanded the demons to leave, and when the disciples couldn't handle the matter, He told them what the trouble was.

Further, scripture says that casting out devils in the name of Jesus is a sign following those who believe--it doesn't say they shall cast out devils by the sweat of their brow, but simply in the name of Jesus. It also mentions laying hands on the SICK, but says nothing of laying hands on the demon-possessed.

I think this mess came from the Catholic church and physically involved exorcisms, and has NO place in an Apostolic service, or Apostolic ministry.
