Pentecostals fake the activities of the Holy Spirit

I John 4:1 is an important verse every one should carefully heed to especially in these days when different spirits seem to be slaying people. The verse tells us to “Test the spirit to see whether it came from God”

Let us carefully test the spirit of the Pentecostals to see whether it come from God. This will be easy for us at this point, we have seen the biblical characteristics of people who encountered Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we are going to go through them and if they are compatible with the Pentecostal spirit then the test will be positive, here we go:-

1. All people in the Bible fell forward not backward.
2. God, Angels or Christ appeared.
3. No one caught those who fell.
4. There was no direct ministry of another person or Pastor.
5. The experiences were unexpected.
6. People remained conscious.

It is not time to judge but it is time to show and tell the truth, ask yourself; do Pentecostal experience of being slain in the spirit appear similar to those mentioned above?
If they are not, then the spirit is not the Holy Spirit but can we prove it is the evil Spirit?

The answer is simple; we just need to test the experience of Pentecostals with that of satanic organizations like the universal church of Satan, witchdoctors, Subud and others. Our work has however been made easy because the experience in these organizations is just the opposite of the biblical characteristics noted above.

It is unfortunate that when we do that, we find the Pentecostals experience as a direct opposition of the biblical accounts for example:-

Pentecostals fall backwards
There is always a direct minister (pastor) or intermediary.
The experiences are expected
People are un conscious
People falling are caught for a safe landing.
God, Christ or angles do not appear physically.

Then the test becomes easy to understand at this point, the testing of Pentecostals experiences of being slain in the spirit are negative to the Bible and positive to the satanic experiences.

Pentecostals Fake the Holy Spirit

Apart from emotionalism and direct Satanism, there is a common activity of faking the experience of the spirit. Many people and their pastors have been discovered to fake the activities of the Spirit. In some cases, people are just pushed over to fall down.

Talking about faking the spirit, Larry Thomas makes this insightful observations regarding faking being slain in the spirit.

“I saw on video tape, everybody in the place was lying on their backside. He (the pastor) finally turned around and realized that the choir hadn’t been blessed yet, and so he said ‘you all up in the cheap seats need some of this’ and he went like that and they all fell down, except one old man with a hearing aide which he was not using, and he (the old man) looked around at everybody, you could see him the hearing aides hanging. Since he wasn’t using it, he did not hear the command and he did not fall when others around him did, he looked around as the only one standing and he fell too” 6

It was very clear from that video tape that the old man first saw that every one around him had fallen and that’s why he fell too. The Pentecostal leaders can not prove by use of scriptures that their experiences are biblical. Try as they might, the best thing they can do is to twist the scriptures to make “a pole fit into a square hole”

I attended a Pentecostal church where people where people were rolling on the ground, shivering, weeping, and shouting. During this time the pastor was busy screaming that the Holy Spirit is pouring and his followers where busy screaming that the Holy Spirit had touched them. However, there was one lady who caught my attention, she was screaming that the demon of her grand mother had attached her, she rolled on ground while screaming “you must come back and serve your ancestors, if you refuse we will kill you”. The only problem was that the ushers were busy dealing with other people and no one could come to lift her up.

After some time, she stood up by her self and went back to her seat. I remained wondering what would have happened if the ushers had taken her to the pastor? Wouldn’t people think that the pastor has driven out a demon? After thinking about the whole incidence I came to a better conclusion that the woman’s acts where nothing but forgery and pretence.
