artharo2 Feb 5, 2012

I want to share this with my real family in Christ. Is about the teachings and sermons in the Jesus Culture music concerts. I love they're music, but i started to, and decided to listen to a few of the sermons in they're concerts, and a live one today where Banning was preaching. Saints in Christ, let me warn you about these people, stay away from all "Jesus Culture" sermons. I was listening to banning and I'm sorry to tell this but, there is absolutely no Holy Spirit anointing, he was so wrong, he and the people on chat are all blind, I was contradicting his words with the Word of God, but nobody told me nothing, they are like, spiritually blind, they kept saying, "the kingdom is within you" and you are a "game changer" preaching about worldly stuff, instead of Gods Word, I can go on and on, but, very sorry I waist my time, but I just want it to make shure before I say something about some body. About they're music, I love Jesus Culture" music, but, I'm gonna pray and listen to the Holy Spirit for guidance. Blessings to all you true saints in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Culture followers are more in to they're music then God's Word, it looks like the latin evil G12 encounters, they live by spiritual emotions and feelings, not by faith and the Word of God. Pray for our youth, they need the real Holy Spirit, and the gift of discernment.

by artharo2:
they kept saying, "the kingdom is within you"

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17.21

(edit)I'm not sure what they were talking about game-changing but I know that the kingdom of God is within us... the Holy Spirit.(/edit)

God bless,

they could have the right doctrine, but beware of the emphasis, the threat in Christianity is not Islam or atheism, but what is almost Christian...

I've seen palm reading, and materialistic kingdom on earth

I have watch this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCcGaTRwG_4

2Corinthians 11:4
1John 4:1

what Leonard Ravenhill said, he has a sister-in-law that can discern false spirits but she is quite unsave..

Matthew 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

Respectfully brother must disagree. Islam is a threat to Christianity. A very serious threat. Even in your own country of the Phillipines Moslem extremist are bringing much grief to Christians there. Extremist in Northern.Nigeria are declaring a genecide against Christians there. Mosque are going up faster in France than churches. There are mire Moslems in Britain than Methodist.

In the U S Moslems are penetrating the so called Bible belt of Oklahoma and Kansas and pushing fotrward mosque and sharia at an alarming rate. Now communities in America are allowing moslems to govern their own enclaves by sharia. In some cases the police will not investigate or prosecute honor killings.

The Islamic agenda is clear. They desire the whole world to be Islamic including America. I understand where you are coming from in terms of a Christian counterfeit. But even in that evangelical churches are embracing a false lie called chrislam, a synergy of Islam and Christianity.

I am not islamaphobic nor do I fear Islam. Our answer to the false doctrine of Islam must be the truth of a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Actually that is our answer to any false lie lof the devil. But Islam is a very serious threat and not to be taken lightly.

I agree brother, a born again Christian cannot be easily be deceived by those who deny the deity of Jesus Christ,

Jesus' warns us on those who will come "in His name", I just like to emphasize that it is harder to distinguish closely identical things. but deception is mostly inward.

Many Muslims and non-Muslims here does not even know what Islam is. They just emphasize abstaing from such food. Many believe that islam and christianity are right just be a 'good' person (though I haven't heard yet of chrislam religion here).
Yes, in the history persecution never hindered true Christians in their faith. I'm in the northern part of the Philippines by the way, there are couples here that don't have the same religion(islam and christianity). I'm not sure of those in southern Philippines.

The original post only gave 2 examples of the horrible preaching from Jesus Culture. The first is "the kingdom is within you" which is true for every born-again believer. The second is about us being "game-changers". If they are referring the new man I am in Christ, being united with His Spirit, then yes, I am a game-changer under the leading, power and direction of the Holy Spirit. If they are referring to my soul apart and separate from the indwelling Spirit, then no, I am not a game-changer. This thread warning us about some sermon is seriously lacking word-for-word verbatim quotes. Do not give us your interpretation of what was said, give us an exact quote. You say you could go on and on, well you never did give us one good example of bad preaching so I am sure any others examples would be even weaker. Maybe there was something worth warning us about but you did a poor job of documenting it. For example, what "worldly stuff" was being said. Be specific, and please go on and on with details containing exact quotes.

Respectfully back to you brother, there is no such thing as a "threat" to Christianity. There never has been and never will be. Jesus Christ has already WON the VICTORY. There may be a threat to a particular organization or modern day Christendom, but to say that true Christianity is threatened would be to say Jesus Christ is threatened.

"I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt 16:18b)

We don't retreat! God's people are always on the offensive because God is always on the offensive by the Holy Spirit. We only know to march in one direction...on to Zion.

Retreat and fear are not in our vocabulary.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (I Tim 1:7)

John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Heb 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear,

Yes to Christendom,

Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.

You're spot on, brother. What you witnessed at the Jesus Culture concert is deceiving thousands of youth. As of this writing, Jesus Culture, and their attending teachers --Bill Johnson, Banning Liebscher, and T.D. Jakes of the Prosperity Gospel--will appear at stadium-sized venues in Ohio, Brazil, New York, and LA this summer. The question is: would you have them disciple your eighteen year-old? Is it possible that what they proscribe to the Holy Spirit are actually demonic manifestations. First, we examine the fruit of the teachers: we find two specific facts, that allow us to declare them false: 1) another gospel; 2) another christ. These men, says Paul, are accursed Johnson denies Christ's divinity, declares us perfectible, and sells the gifts of the Holy Spirit, while saying stating that Christ's work was not redemption, but bringing Heaven to Earth, so that He could birth a "New Breed" of humans, ala William Branham's Latter Rain heresy. Jakes, under investigation by the US Senate for possible fraud, and a ten-most wanted warning by Ministry Watch for lack of financial transparency and accountability, claims that we are freed not only of all health problems by Christ's blood, but are promised prosperity, because after all, Jesus was rich too. We know this, he says, because the Roman Guards cast lots for His garments, so it must have been expensive. (I am not making this up). Andrew Strom, a former follower of the Prophetic Movement of which Bethel Church/Jesus Culture are the West Coast's leaders, has an excellent teaching video series available on YouTube on the connection between the false revivals of Toronto, Lakeland, Kansas City and demonic spirits amazingly similar in manifestation to eastern kundalini. This would not be surprising, considering the warnings of 1 Tim 4:1. John MacArthur recently declared this movement "not Christian" and "a work of Satan."

hi, i am an old man who wishes that people who have formed an opinion on a topic that they never witnessed for them selves and on men they know liittle about would stop using slander and gossip. len ravenhill, who was a friend of mine ministered with branham. all men float in and out of error and none of us are perfect.i have been on this site for years and there has been a growing problem with a critical attitude amongst us. let us pray for these people and ask God to intervene in their lives.i have listened to t.d. jakes a lot and have never heard him preach heresy and even though he is oneness, i have never heard him expound on this either. Jesus said that they will know that we are christians by our love for one another.i know nothing of this movement so i will look into it and give it some time to either produce fruit or not. the critical attitude i know a lot about for it was the same attitude that had the jews crying "crucify Him"jimp

Jimp,
Some of what you said is true at times. And Lord bless you for your heart to be pure, but let me tell you this: TD Jakes is a false teacher. A wolf. A covetous merchandiser of the Gospel. You may not have heard him much or be that familiar with hI'm, but that doesn't mean that the leopard has no spots. Bill Johnson is of another Spirit, like Simon the Sorcerer. You may not know/like that, but it's true. Len Ravenhill would have slammed the pulpit in his day about such men as these deceiving people & I will too.
The apostle Paul named names at times when "certain men crept in unawares" deceived the Body. Yes, we should be loving, and many here have not that Spirit either (the Spirit of Christ, full of grace and truth), but let's not throw out the baby with the bath water and be scared to speak the truth at the expense of weak/young believers. They are wolves and should be marked as such openly. Don't tell me to go to hem one on one, for these men have been warned many Times and have not repented.
We can walk in love and humility, but still in Spirit and in TRUTH, and warn the sheep of these ravenous wolves. They are after your wallet, are of another spirit, and the gift of discernment begs these men be marked and avoided. I'm not rebuking you harshly as an elder gentleman, and I'm sure your heart is in the right place, but it's almost slander (& dangerous) to TAKE UP for these wolves without FULLY researching them yourself. Search them out on YouTube and read their writings. I have. They are wolves. Period. Len Ravenhill would have said it in his day. More importantly Paul would have and told us to. More importantly Jesus would have and calls us to. Sheep are at stake. SPIRIT AND TRUTH (not either or).
