poster in particular has no conscience and just posted a mocking video and I have had to defend how I took it when he posted something to mock
our evangelist.Then others have taken the same stance that its okay to mock the man of God.
I thought it was against the rules to cut down the ministry on this forum.
I suppose its okay if you are laughing about it.I don't fault Ja.I fault whoever posted the link because fortunately people can repent of stuff they have
done or said in the past but it takes a dirty heart to dig it up over and over again and try to discredit what is going on in someones church.SAd SAd Sad.

Trouvere, I remember when this video clip was posted on NFCF, I got sooo mad! So, I called LS and complained about it. Guess what? He laughed and said it was funny! JA is a very close friend of his.

Carey I don't care.It does something to me when someone bashes the evangelist.Brother Stoneking does not have the time to hold things in
his heart.I however wanted a nice thread about the awesome things
happening at our church.Some of the other things
that happened was that the youth really broke out in worship.We had
young teenage guys at the alter praying and worshipping and crying on
the floor.It was awesome.Its not uncommon for them to come out of the choir loft and shout all over the front of the church but the weeping and
seeking God was amazing.

I understand how you feel and what you are saying. I don't like this kind of thing either. I'm happy that someone has finally had something good to say about LS, it does my heart good and I'm glad you started this thread.

LS is a polarizing figure. I've heard him probably as many as most and have had him in my home on several occasions. He has a hero-worship mentality by those who are his supporters. Fortunately I've had time and space away from his influence and can see clearer now......

Reformed Dave I am not that easily addicted.We had a great revival at our church.Had the preacher been anyone else maybe you would have seen
the Queen instead of the mouse under the chair.We are still for that matter
having a great revival.I doubt I hero worship anyone.Jesus is a glorious God.
Glad you were delivered from the idolatry.

I agree with the essence of this post.

I agree with you agreeing with the essence of Reformed Dave's post.

Grandma Trouvere, I don't mean to "mock" LS so please don't take offense. You just have to understand that there are some of us that are less than fans based on many things. For me chief among them being content of sermons and the Ruth Reider popularized extra biblical notions about the power in uncut hair, the evil of jewelry, etc.

I have been told for years what masterpieces LS preaches. I have heard him once in person (many years ago) and in the last two or three years multiple times on webcasts, etc and none of those sermons were masterpieces.

The man has amassed such a cult status within the UPC that his mere presence causes a spiritual emotional frenzy. When I listened to a sermon of his a year or so ago in Stockton and commented to his fans that the sermon had no real content, that it was just a series of catch phrases and other red meat to get Oneness Pentecostals revved up the response from most of his following was that I was correct in my analysis but that the content did not matter because he "built faith" in those in the audience. I think that is the same basis by which Benny Hinn operates and sees healings happen.
