"Charismania!"

[vaeltava84]

I'm watching this without voice and it seems like they are possessed or something.

Lord have mercy.

[TheEOW2011]

Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM. The wheat will be harvested on May 21, 2011, the last day of the 23 year great triulation

@suaved

This is my final comment (I promise):

It is not my intentions to debate or argue the validity of biblical practices as they relate to Pentecost. Just know that there are Pentecostals, such as myself, who know the difference in someone acting like they are feeling God and someone who actually is. I have too much fear of God to pervert things of the church as some in this video have done. It is my hope that you will not think of all Pentecostals in the manner of false teachers. God Bless

[twsmith3]

@ suaved

I agree that church is to be decent and in order. Ecclesiastes teaches us this when it says there is a time and a season to every purpose under heaven. There is a time to dance but there's also a time to be quiet and listen to what God says. God operates many times in a still, small voice. And I'm not saying this video is edifying God because I did indeed watch it and there are some people on there that are just acting out, such as Benny Hinn and some of the other clips.

[twsmith3]

@ suaved

And the bible does indeed say to "try the spirits and see if they be of God." When you try them there will be some that don't line up. But Jesus also said "Let the wheat and tares grow up together, and I will separate them." And please don't think I'm trying to retaliate at you for anything, like I said, I just don't feel it is right to lump all of us into one group the same as it would not be right for me to say that everyone named Ted is a serial killer.

[twsmith3]

@ suaved

You are right in the fact that there are false people that exist but God told us these people would exist. All I'm saying is these things are biblical and just because there are some who are false teacher doesn't mean you should lump us all into one bunch. I am fully aware of false people but I am also aware that when you're heart is right, this is real because I've experienced it. I just simply don't want our beliefs bashed because of the actions of a few. God will deal with them.

[suaved]

@twsmith3

I am not concerned with "experiences;" the word of God is the final authority for absolute truth. What I see in these videos is unbiblical.

[twsmith3]

David danced before the Lord with all his might.... 2 Samuel 6:14

Praise him with the tambourine and dance...Psalm 150:4

Also, in Acts 2:1-21 the Holy Ghost was first given and people were mocking them just as you people are mocking and said "these people are full of new wine" and Peter said "These are not drunk as ye suppose, seeing it is but the 3rd hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, in the last days I will pour out my spirit upon ALL Flesh...(read later).

[suaved]

@twsmith3

I don't have a problem with dancing before the Lord; however, I have a problem with uncontrolled church services in which there is no decency and order. How can you say that what you are witnessing in this video is an act of God? How can a chaotic church service bring glory to God? If anything, it will confuse people. God is NOT the author of confusion.

Nowhere in Acts did the apostles layed their hands on people which resulted in displays of uncontrolled body movements.

[twsmith3]

You folks who are bashing the church need to, first off, read your Bible. David danced before the Lord with all his might until his clothes fell off. Jeremiah went on to state "It's like fire shut up in my bones." If you don't believe you'll move when there's fire inside you, I challenge you to lay your hand on an open flame and not move it. Also there is one sin that can't be forgiven and that is blaspheming the Holy Ghost so be careful friends. Are there fakes, yes. But the POWER is Real!!!

[KublahKraus]

As Chairman of the World Council of Cults, I approve of this sort of thing

[rjky1986]

Tell ya what; this isn't church, this is insanity. This kind of stuff makes me glad I'm a Mainline Protestant. However, this stuff is still quite hilarious.

[rjky1986]

Haha, this is priceless. Great song choice, too, by the way.

[srt8v4]

Keep on exposin these demons deceiving the masses. Brother lets pray we are at the end days look at what the devil has done to the the chruch. The Lord be with us Jesus we need you now more than ever!!!!!

[Jubalover]

Gods, 'decent and in order' are not religions version of it. Or some tepid church traditions filter of what those words mean. Paul spent a lot of his time being chased violently out of town for being so radical for God. Religion has so dumbed down what he taught. God can't be put in your 'orderly' little box, not even Paul's version is big enough to contain HIM! God is God, NOT PAUL!

[NewInChrist]

@Jubalover

The entire book of Corinthians was written to the church at Corinth. It has everything to do with church conduct and order. Therefore, 1 Corinthians 14:40

("Let all things be done decently and in order,") is totally applicable to these circuses called "churches."

[Jubalover]

Let me just say, that if the Creator of the stars and galaxies really gets a hold of you and you're open to His powerful touch and not an unbelieving cynic, you will not know what hit you, and you yourself could end up reacting in ways that makes all this look calm by comparison. I have seen God move on people bodily in a manner that makes everything you see here look tame.

[NewInChrist]

@Jubalover

One scripture would throw your entire argument down like a house of cards:

1 Corinthians 14:40

"Let all things be done decently and in order."

case closed.

[suaved]

@NewInChrist

Thank you for exposing this madness. I was raised in a Pentecostal church, and I saw strange happenings regularly that TERRIFIED me as a child. Later in life, I studied the scriptures and concluded that those happenings were not of God.

My biggest problem with Pentecostals is that they place an unprecedented, unhealthy emphasis on extra-biblical revelations and signs. The word of God is not enough for them. They want "feel good" experiences to satisfy their carnal flesh.

[twsmith3]

@suaved

The word of God says plainly "These SIGNS shall follow them that believe." Therefore, signs are important in a relationship with God. I imagine people talked about Jesus like this when he laid hands on dead people and they came alive again. Also, if you've never experienced the power of God for yourself, please don't knock it because the bible also says there is one sin that can't be forgiven and that is blaspheming the Holy Ghost. I will pray God opens your understanding.

[suaved]

@twsmith3

What we are witnessing in this video is FALSE signs and wonders, and they are not even close to the "power of God." The word of God also states that one of the fruits of the spirit is "SELF-CONTROL." The fruit of the spirit is far more telling of one having the Holy Spirit than the slain in the spirit counterfeit in which someone falls backwards or shakes due to a church leader's touch.

The bible tells us to believe not all spirits and to TEST them in light of scripture.

[twsmith3]

@suaved

You really need to examine the things that you say about the church. There is one sin, as outlined by the Bible, that cannot be forgiven and that is the blaspheming of the Holy Ghost. I'd be very careful in talking like this and it is my prayer that God has mercy on all who speak ill against HIS word. Everyone seems to have missed the scripture where David danced before the Lord with all his might until his clothes fell off and Jeremiah said It's like fire shut up in my bones.

[thebayoubear]

try attending one of these "services" high on acid

[BEzyBeatz]

Dont think that the HOlyGhost is fake just cuz of a couple of charismatics the best way for satan to when is make a few counterfits but God's not mocked he still pours out his spirit in a beutiful holy way

[vjear]

This video is demonic ...maybe...but Pentecostal? NOT!! This is people being led astray by evil, money sucking people!

[87DannyBrown]

haha, starting at :24, Benny Hinn is supposedly knocking people down by the Holy Spirit by hitting them with his coat...but when then he hits a catcher and nothing happens.

[Primetime7]

What you have here is a learned behavior nothing more. On cue they do this stuff. Especially the guy rolling around on the ground like a snake. Then basically kicking a man sitting quietly in he s seat. If you watch him closely, you will see him kick the guy in the black for kicking him. Those are not bedroom slippers he is wearing but hard bottom shoes and he is a grown man. Yup that hurt. That is why the man in the gray kicked him. Than ran away. lol

[sotonemuel]

Luke 11: 28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." 29As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.

[sotonemuel]

I Corinthians 14:37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order. 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

[sotonemuel]

I Corinthians 1:22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks[b] foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

[sotonemuel]

I Cor. 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into[c] one Spirit... 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

[sotonemuel]

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints

[sotonemuel]

Gal. 3:1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[a] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[b] as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

[sotonemuel]

MATTHEW 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!

[sotonemuel]

MATTHEW 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits...

[Leecogic]

I believe that classical Pentecostal doctrine is way more orthodox than the Charismania we've been seeing from the 1950's to today. True I see people running the aisles and dancing but that's why churches have ushers to form circles around them to maintain order and prevent injury. Like the guy who rolled and kicked the guy? That usher didn't show up until the damage was done!

[Smithwal7]

Co-Sign

[marva2gud]

" ... And he said unto them, Have ye received the holy Ghost since

ye believed? And they said unto him, we have not heard whether

there be any holy Ghost ... And when Paul laid his hands on them, the

holy Ghost fell on them; and they spake in tongues, and prophesied." (Acts 19:2,6)

[carbin15]

its just emotional outburst but they blame it on God.

[Look4Truth]

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, - 1 Timothy 4:1

[opticonboi]

yeah i am a pentecostal but i can tell you right now that a lot of those that you showed are nothing but hoaxes and exaggerates. i am against people that try and show off the power of God in just dancing crazy, the power of God is shown through everything!!!! what a lot of people where doing there such as benny hinn and that women is nothing more than a show and God is not grateful in that. thanks for the video.

[Smithwal7]

I would've kicked him 2 lol then I would've punched the usher for trying to keep me in my seat while a man just kicked me in the face

[inspiredthoughts]

whoa.

[weberly2]

ha! you made my morning! i grew up with this stuff, it was so entertaining.  then one day my mom tried to explain this was God, i was bemused.

[NewInChrist]

i'm glad i made ur morning! actually i was raised as a pentecostal and am ABSOLUTELY convinced it's a hoax!!! whether it's emotions or straight hypnotism is anybody's guess.

[richmond450]

Unfortunately, Pentecostalism has tainted Christianity as a whole by association. So many Pentecostals are now atheists or Buddhists because of the spirituasl abuse they experienced in charismania.

[Mind0fChrist]

sad but true

[TJae1]

Reminds Me of the pogo; I guess ppl need a vent... Sorta like Utube.

[BEzyBeatz]

@NewInChrist Thats to bad but the the BIble the Lord And the HOly ghost are all still very real

[metero1337]

@NewInChrist Don't know if it's relevant responding to a year old comment, but do not judge all pentecostals based on such charismania. I do not see myself as belonging to any "label" but I am a part of the Canadian Assemblies of God (which is a pentecostal movement) and charismania such as this is understood to be false and misguided.

[baldonebear]

@metero1337

For the most part the AoG is on the conservative end of the Pentecostal ecclesial communities, and some Charismatic's do not act this way.

However, that is not the rule. The P/C world is one based on "experience" and the supernatural with diminishes our offering to God.

P/C ecc;esial communities thrive is certain parts of Africa based on the religious history of the people groups, which is based on the supernatural.

[Rocky777]

demonic possession.

[puddleglumm]

Very sad that this is considered spiritual by some Christians! A needed expose. One criticism---I can't stand the song---YUK!!

[jasonmccoy77]

this video is so funny.

regardless of whether it is of God or not or a little of both; wow it makes me laugh, I watch every once in a while just to make me laugh and that helps me get through one more day of full time church ministry.

[JeriRose2]

In the Old Testement it says that when God rested on the mountian....the mountain trembled. If a mountain is going to tremble at God's Presence, how much more a person?

The kind of self-control the Spirit gives us is not one of having no reaction to God's Presence....it means not flying off the handle angry or the like....

If the Spirit moves on us, we should dance He so moves.

In some of these videos, I wonder if it isn't demons manifesting in God's Presence?

[SoulSurvivorInChrist]

Galatians 5:22-23 (New King James Version)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.

[kdep16]

i understand that ppl need to have self control but if you've actually dug deeper into the gospel and not just pull out bits and pieces you'll see that even jesus' deciples manifested in his spirit by speaking in tongues and shouting unto God with a voice of triumph when the were filled!

[daledeloy]

To me all of this is just a put-on and fake.

[filoIII]

i think something actually does get in them, but is it of God?

[JeriRose2]

I can't figure out why you (skeptics) think that an encounter with The God of the universe might not cuase our physical bodies to react in a physical manifestation. How do you expect us, as mere dust, to be able to conatin all of God when He comes in a mighty way? The prophets would even fall down in the presence of ANGELS -- let alone when God's Presence comes in and fills a room!

[vivatruth]

Nobody doubts the abilities of God to cause us to do things, but when a preacher uses personal incidences from the Bible and says that every time he touches a person, or that every time a person is filled with the Holy Spirit they will act like a bunch of drunken banshees, it's UNBIBLICAL and UNFOUNDED

[filoIII]

me thinks it may be a spirit and not The Spirit

[Smithwal7]

AMEN

[JeriRose2]

Then why did they say "Were not drunk as you suppose. We're just filled with the Holy Ghost."? Obviously, they appeared to be drunk. It was not the speaking in every man's language. A drunk person has never been reported to fluently speak a foregin language. They appeared drunk. A while ago laughter hit me, and I began rolling some....We call it "drunk" because that's the best explanation. We feel like the happy drunks, but it a pure touch from The Spirit, with none of the ill effects.

[cordellcc]

1 Cor. 14:40 let's us know that things of the church must be "done properly and in an orderly manner." What is orderly about a man having a seizure on the ground and kicking a bystander in the head? If no one sees that this is RIDICULOUSLY against Scripture, then there's a serious problem. Acts 2:15 has NOTHING to do with being drunk in the Spirit. Do NOT put in Scripture what is NOT there. Revelation 22:18 gives SERIOUS warning of that.

[JeriRose2]

Sometimes, I wish we had all lived in the early church, then these kind of things wouldn't be looked at with disdain. Being drunk in the Spirit is in the Bible -- again Acts 2:15. So many of us (including me!) are so religous. Jesus wants those who are PASSIONATE for him, and dancing is an outward show of inward passion.

[Smithwal7]

agreed who ever gave you thumbs down is only thinking from the flesh because they do not operate in faith by the holy spirit!

[chaosmongers]

this is exactly why I did not become a pentecostal,scary.....and the women are homely too..

[quantum0000]

That was awesome! That is similar to the experience I had in the charismatic church I attended (ONCE!) a few years ago.

[JeriRose2]

Why is none of this of God?

The Bible says not be drunk with wine but filled with the Spirit. . .as in same kind of feeling only none of the bad effects! See Acts 2:15 where Peter said, "They're not drunk as you suppose. They're filled with the Holy Ghost."

The Bible says to praise Him in the dance. David danced with all his might.

Yet, when this kind of thing is posted, it is always said it's not of God.

[Nicegirl74]

Having spent a lot of my youth in Pentecostal churches, I agree that it can really be this bizarre but I think it's unfair to look at this out of context without taking into account the rest of their teachings. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not of God.

[Smithwal7]

co-sign I got plenty of Pentacostal friends

[BearBarton53]

Pentecostals have always sought for an emotional experience in their relationship with God. They believe it proves their spirituality. But does it really? Pretending to be drunk is an abomination to a holy God who tells us NOT to be drunk, but filled with the Spirit - so what will it be? Drunk or Filled? YOu can't have it both ways...

[Oct31st1517]

This kind of a gospel deserves this mockery. This is a perversion of christian worship.

[scubielouie]

anyone notice that it´s mainly minorities?

[billnjune]

And the uneducated with no biblical foundation, basing their beliefs on their emotions and experiences rather than the Bible alone.

[Smithwal7]

majority of those preachers were white! whats your point?

[SoulSurvivorInChrist]

That's another thing that disgusts Me about Pentecostal/Charismatic Fellowships, They seek to exploit Poor People or the Un Educated with thier False Teaching.

[Godpleaser77]

The guy in about 1:58 has a great move for a white boy. But sorry none and I repeat none of this is of God.

[psinology]

voodoo anyone...

[klard]

Wonderful. Keep these coming. The best comedy available today is the radical religious fringe lunatic squad. I am a Bible believing Follower of Jesus Christ. Avoid deceptions and Idols.
