what's the difference between that tradition and this neo-relevant tradition? It's the same thing as a Catholic mass, except instead of kissing an icon of Mary, you bow your hearts to a rockin 'contemporary' worship band!
For you kids saying that traditional churches stent for you and this "church" is,realize that you aren't getting the gospel at Elevation,and aren't getting fed nor taught the Word of God
angry is A-OK, jesus seemed pretty pissed off when he was kicking over tables in the temple because the church stopped doing what is was supposed to be doing...if more people had the passion...even the anger...that furtick has...i think a lot less church's would be in decline
hey guys, i find it real funny that many ppl who support Furtick use the line "christians shouldn't judge other churches/christians"....... yet that's exactly what Furtick himself does with the traditional churches........ If he feels that we need 2 go preach Jesus more FANTASTIC........ but why does he feel the need to attack ppl along the way?? it's kinda scary how divisive the church is becoming.... we need 2 work together, not attack one another..........
@yhwhwarrior777 He grew up in a traditional church and his parents still go to one. Hes not against it. just realizes this generation is going for traditional churches and its future generations that is needed to cary on Gods word and they wont even go to a traditional church. I went from a traditional presbyterian church and went to elevation and haven't been back to the church i grew up. not because i dislike it....its because I see the movement in elevation to make God #1 is my generation.
@yhwhwarrior777 so i'm just now getting up on furtick's sermons to see if I think he's doctrinally sound or not (I find his book and everything i've heard so far to be ok) so I am in no way an apollogos (or however it's spelled) for him. however, i do feel the difference between furticks judging and the judging the people who agree with him are trying to prevent is this: furtick is mad because opportunities for Christ are being squandered. other churches are mad cause they dislike his style
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.... Furtick needs to go to the true Gospel and he needs to stop preaching until he learns it.
I'm a teenager that refused to go to church until I found Elevation. He isn't angry, he's passionate. Where does it say that preachers can't use humor or creativity to send a message? I also don't find it very Christian to judge how other people worship. As long as the focus is Jesus Christ, it shouldn't matter how it's done as long is the message gets out and someone is brought to Christ.
@laurenx713 Your Jesus? You sure he is the Jesus of the Bible and not one you made look like you? "Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment." John 7:24 niv. There is a difference between judgment and discernment.
This character is simply angry and not even funny. If you go to furticks church you need to either change it or get out and find a Church that teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This guy is simply an immature and wreckless speaker. These 'emergent' types want to change church alright, but change it to reflect the culture not Christ. It's all about false numbers and profiteering. If the Holy Spirit is to guide true pastors of the Word, Furtick's different gospel would make him a minister of satan.
@wolfec All you need to do is spend 10 minutes comparing the church growth/seeker movement to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is plain to see that Furtick and many others preaching a church lite felt needs 'message' are not preaching the whole word of God and are preaching a 'different' gospel. So, they are either Gospel ignorant and in the wrong 'profession' or they are ministers of satan. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
@berean1129 That statement you just made is false. Steven Furtick has a heart for God and bringing those that don't know Christ to Christ. He has a servant's heart.hence why they donated %100 of the proceeds made from their newest Elevation Worship CD "Kingdom Come" to Clean Water in Uganda teaming up with missions projects. When God is involved in a movement people like yall are going to trash it. Just because they have numbers doesnt mean anything,actually I'm wrong, it means they have Christ.
@wolfec No, wolfec, the statement is not false and I dont care how nice you think furtick is.If he doesnt preach the Gospel and uses worldly means while being very rude in his presentation, who is to say he is delivering a spirit driven message.You obviously dont know his financial interest, and besides, what do works have to do with anything. Bill Gates is agnostic yet has given billions of money to organizations ... .that won't buy them a seat in Heaven. Please read and seek God.
@berean1129 hahaha, that's not at all what I'm saying, I'd appreciate if you DIDN'T put those words in my mouth. It's not about him being nice or works. But works are a fruit produced when the Gospel changes your life. He does preach the Gospel. Not any kind of false Gospel as you claim sir. Listen to more of his messages. Don't be jealous of this flourishing because God is clearly in control. Reason i know this.... thousands of lives being changed. thats how. Do your research before bashing....
@wolfec You must realize that these pastors are mere cogs in the wheel of the purpose driven/seeker movement that is not based on sound doctrine, instead, it is about putting people in the seats and counting the numbers(money) as 'success.' The true way is narrow....For a time is coming(it is here) when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear-2Tim 4:3.
@summa1129 .....and here you are again, you post evil comments on every video of our Church and our Pastor. Have you Studied the Bible as I suggested to you? Did you take a Theology class? Let's all go read the scripture on how Satan's army will rise up when witnessing true work of God & miracles to try and prevent God's work.
@leannperson In your comments you defend a false teacher and you have yet to defend Jesus Christ. If you stop worshiping furtick and your church building then study the true God and Christ you will see the problem. Your church is taught humanistic and culturally relevant ways to entertain a person to Christ while using worldly methods to keep that person coming.This totally contradicts the Holiness of Christ.I do hope furtick turns to a Biblical approach to preaching the Gospel. John 15:19
Time will be the judge, mark my words!! We are living in the fallen away/apostasy time. We will all be in front of God one day, each man build its own way....time will tell,
@ragetoca. I don't know what you're talking about! This man preaches nothing but the truth. Maybe it's because when you hear a man preach you want your ears tickled. But this man preaches to make you wanna check yourself not to make you feel good.
@ragetoca A sensual gospel? Not the true gospel? Or is it not "your" true version? I have heard only one version come out and that is -That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.- (Roman 10:9). Simple as that. Nothing sensual, nothing more true. If you think that there is a sensual version of that so be it. However please do not put down other men of God and dividing the church because they don't preach...
@f35caleb My version of the gospel is according to the bible and great teachers like John MacArthur, Paul Washer, Charles Spourgeon and so many more. Don't you see these "new" modern types of preachers (Warren, Hybels, Noble, Stanley) all preach a "new gospel", in fact is a social gospel, full of human psychology. Elevation Church is more enamored with secular Americanism than The Truth of the word of God and the marvelous gospel
@ragetoca Have you ever even been to Elevation, or NewSpring, or even Saddleback?? If God wasn't a part of these movements they wouldn't continue to have so many salvations through Christ. Just 2 weeks ago, Elevation and NewSpring preached a sermon on the Gospel. The basic gospel....and thousands of lives were reached for the cause of Christ through both churches...
I went to elevation blakeny location. I noticed that there was not 1 single cross in that church.

If your really against Furtick and elevation then why are you on their video?
Furtick speaks the truth... Us younger generation cant get into you guys traditional church...
Elevation is amazing to me ccause he preaches to where i can understand... and the band sings bout MY Jesus..
I dont get why Us christians are getting broke apart.. we all believe in Jesus and He all that matters.
and ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE! so how bout everyone stop judging elevation church...
thank you:)
