I thought you guys were into total autonomy anyway??.....Why be critical??

Many come to hear AM preach....He is not just "good" he is a Minister of the Word.....there's "good Preachers...and Good Ministers....Hamby was Good and look where he's at??...

Maybe Good is not all it's cracked up to be...

Well I don't know AM and I don't mean this as an attack on him this is just a segment of Pentecost I have not been exposed to? I see big name preachers like Jakes, Parsley doing this but I just having been around this in Pentecost? It is his meeting he has the right to do as he sees fit. Again I don't know AM and not a personal attack on him I just have not been exposed to this so it is strange to me? I went and heard Hanby and he was good.

Brother Epley, as far as I know, BOTT was born in Bro AM's mind. He had something to say to other ministers, and I'm sure the ministers want to hear what he has to say. They have for twenty years now.

Could it be that he has a burden for the ministry?

It takes a lot of time, money and energy to have a meeting like BOTT. I really don't think it's ego.

Bro. Epley, I would love it if our pastor would preach a revival!!!! He is definitely good enough to pull it off.

A revival is usually about services above and beyond the normal schedule, about evangelism, and about a spiritual awakening. These are all things a pastor can do just as well (if not a whole lot better) than an evangelist.

Branham preached his own meetings the name of his church was Branham Tabernacle they called him humble?
Maybe he had an important message, maybe he could not getting anyone else to come, maybe he had no MONEY for anyone one else to come speak....maybe he just loves to talk....maybe just maybe he loves his people and wanted to preach...nothing about ego...just wanted to preach...why does there have to be another motive...or any at all....you sound cynical...........is this preacher bashing?



Sorry could not resist, its early in the morning and I have not had my coffee yet!

Pretty cool trick here us OP's have, critisize unfairly, with out knowledge of facts, then make it all OK by "saying" this not a personal attack.

If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck, smells like a duck, i have learned in all likely hood it's a duck.

Another kewl trick with OP's you can use is to spread gossip you have no idea if it's true or hurtful...then make it all OK by saying, "Let's pray for them"

I don't believe BOTT has anything to do with who's who's and elevating the speaker, but everything about hearing the voice of God.
