Destructive (damnable) heresies of NAR and Word Faith cults: Part 2

The NAR's chief spokespersons today are Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, co-pastors at Bethel Church, and Che Ahn, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Ca. These men claim to hear from God on a daily basis. They will often say things like, "The Lord told me," or, "God told me this morning." They hear from heaven more than the Lord Jesus did.      I would also guess that most of those reading this blog post have never heard of Bethel Church or Bill Johnson or Kris Vallotton.  They are popular in neo-charismatic and Pentecostal circles.

However, upon further reflection and an examination of the Greek text, I now disagree with the excepted interpretation. I believe that it is saying, “but be filled spiritually.” I no longer see it as a commandment to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The verses that follow seem to support my conclusion. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled spiritually, (in one’s spirit)   19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,   20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ...
