Saw this at work this AM. Very sad. I like some of IHOP's teaching and music.
Let us not be quick to assume this has to do with IHOP directly. IHOP is a very large org.
Was this guy and his group actually attending IHOP?
Was he IN FACT appointed to a leadership position in a "friendship" group? If so by who?
Did someone try to cover it up?
I certainly will be watching. I have confidence that many people at IHOP are sincere Charismatic believers.
Here is a Youtube I addressed to Mike Bickle and IHOP back in August.

You can't really judge the organization by the actions of a few loonies.
I believe Jim Jones was affiliated with Oneness Pentecostals at one time, wasn't He?
Right... I think he was affiliated with Christianity at one time as well...
