IHOP is a proponent of Contemplative Prayer, read this highly recommended book for all discerning Christians... A Time of Departing... see what some Christian leaders are saying about this book and learn where contemplative prayer comes from.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God(9)Not of works, lest any man should boast.

no one is perfect or 100% right. remember we are people. grace covers our flaws. you shouldnt criticize. you are slandering them, comeon, you dont love them like you said. you wouldnt be saying anything bad about them. you should just find a church that believes like you believe, period. you should bless them only!!!!!

[blesseddisciple]

@SuperAlexcasas Should bless them only? Not. We are to hold each other accountable to sound biblical doctrine. Wounds of a friend are faithful, we do love, and he who heeds correction is wise. Mike stands like he is beyond reproach and correction as is made clear by his ignoring the aberrant report prepared by Ernie Gruen and his church staff. There is nothing slanderous about our expressed concern. But like Paul says in Phil 2:18 at least Christ is being preached... whatever their motives.

I just wanted to note that you stated gotquestions org is a trustworthy site.... Just so you know, that site is incredibly slanted towards Calvinism and cessationism = bad doctrine in my view. They write this implying the likely passing away of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, "The primary purpose of the miraculous gifts was to prove that the gospel was true and that the apostles were truly God’s messengers."

[blesseddisciple]

@lighttheway777 GotQuestions is run by a Calvary Chapel associated pastor and therefore slanted non-denominational leaning Armanian and not Calvanist based on the full council of scripture. I believe it is Christs command to focus on spreading the good news and baptising more than gifts that tend to make unbelievers think we are all mad. Gifts without the fruit of self control appears as madness... like tongues and being "slain in spirit" making animals noises as some do. Where is the gospel?

That´s true, if you read the bokk "Growing in the prophetic" by mike bickle, you´ll see him writing that he is made mistake, as well as his ministry at beggining because of the lack of wisdom , but God used people from others chruches to rebuke them and show where they were wrong.. All we are subejected to fails, but if mike bickle´s min istries is rising by God, you better watch out what you are saying, please don´t tell things you don´t know, ok the Corinthians were true but failable too

I sent my son to IHOPU!!! He is a mighty young man of God. The Prayer Room is an awsome place! These people said they spent 1 year looking at IHOP? How about 7 for me? 4 while my son has been there and 3 before that just making sure it was a place he should go for his education. He is on prayer room staff now. The hate is not appropriate. IHOP caused my son to become even more sold out for the Lord and caused wonderful changes in all our family. Do not touch God's anointed.

[SuperAlexcasas]

@blesseddisciple did you erase my coment? Maybe what ive been saying is true? You need to Forgive if they offended you and move on.

[SuperAlexcasas]

@blesseddisciple We are people, we may be wrong in some areas where are brothers will be right,How do you know you Are right, cmon. they recieve christ as there personal savior, they are in the kingdom! THATS GRACE! Not by our works but by our faith in Jesus Christ! Then only Love, Bless, And pray for Them! Thats what we do when we walk in the spirit! Unforgiveness is a Trap of the enemy! By the Way you talk it sounds like you're hurt. Forgive and Be free from the enemy of our souls>

With every new and large movement especially around Jesus (Christianity) there seems to be opposition. Scripture can be used by many to contradict something or even raise "red flags". Its important to not only look at leadership but also the over all vision of a move. IHOP is only geared towards intimacy with the father. Because of this and what I believe I can receive and take part knowing my conscious is clean. Surprise, no one aces it with God, that should be obvious to any and all christians

[Oracularchild]

Now I don't follow Mike, I support IHOP, and I think if there are mistakes made in the past clearly there should be investigation if whether people have repented for their errors.

[Oracularchild]

Now there might be some "peculiar things" that might have been said, but never the less IHOP are our brothers and sisters in Christ, and using the words"cult, heretic, false prophet" are so LOOSELY thrown around today, that I am sad to say are placed on people they don't deserve. I was at ONETHING this past week in Orlando, and Mike Bickles primary part of his teaching was about SIN, and frankly I hadn't seen nor heard a preacher be as str8 up about sin as I heard Mike Bickle.

[aprild1913]

@SomeLittleShoe Like the Bible says, don't listen to everything a preacher says. First, make sure the Bible teaches the same. Don't get me started on what the Bible says because there are several things IHOP teaches that isn't even in the Bible. I just don't want to be mislead, so I did my research and honestly it looks like a cult to me. If you want to be ignorant and take everything that this false church throws at you, go right ahead, but don't criticize me for being smart.
