Leader of the "Lakeland Outpouring," Todd Bentley, was
commissioned by C Peter Wagner and cronies from his
International Coalition of Apostles (ICA) on June 23, 2008. Their service gave Bentley many "prophetic" accolades, which foretold of a long and God-ordained future for his ministry. Then a few short weeks later, Bentley was caught in an unhealthy emotional relationshipwith a female staff member. Talk about discernment! Anyway, Wagner’s ICA claims to be "apostolic." Are they? If so, was/is Todd Bentley Apostolic? Here is a portion of Bentley's commissioning:

Also, look at
this article from Bentley. In it he explains some of the why's and how's of his ministry. SCARY STUFF!
So, do these guys (and gals) look or sound like the Apostles found in the Bible to you? Why or why not?

The World Wide Web is full of Internet Ayatollahs who speak their mind. There is only one Truth, and it is not hidden. No matter what anyone says, Truth still converts the sincere.
