If we were to scrutinize "carefully" all our renown Pentecostal ministers we would be amazed to disappointed. I have my criticisms of Brother Stoneking, some here have even read my critiques. But, I have found in my old age that there are people out there who are eating the fish and spitting out the bones. Telling the truth Scott? Then you better look at your Harry Morse and Azusa Street a little closer, because you may find out the utter fantasies that they all believed and conveyed over the years. We all have the luxury (and curse) of the internet. If we all haven't relayed a "fake news" story in our life like it was the truth because we heard from someone or read it somewhere then God bless us. Is Brother Stoneking a theological scholar? Not to me, but he has said things which I have found to be dead on correct in times I needed to hear them. Hey, take it for what its worth.

I think some of us feel as if someone MUST be right every time and if we are wrong once we are incapabale of redemption or redemption only after much time and being "sat down" if at all.
I agree with you.
I think we should eat what meat there is to be found and spit out the bones.
We should all be looking to grow and develop and with that growth and development there has to be room for error and some learning experiences.
In cases like Stoneking I think we have him placed on this high pedestal and we figure by now he should already have this thing down to a fine science and be as far from error as can be.
It forces us to re examine what we feel about the goal of being right 100% of the time and being free from the possibility of error after a certain spiritual status is achieved.
Maybe we ourselves long for that percieved level of "perfection" and we see any "error" as a man of higher status failing in his weaker spiritual discipline and relationship for surely if we ourselves had ascended unto such lofty heights of annointing we would NEVER commit such egregious error.
It is a disheartening thing when the gods we make unto ourselves crumble in our own eyes
