SIGNS OF ENDTIMES: THE WORD OF FAITH MOVEMENT:

THE NEW IDOLATRY

An Excerpt:  Word of faith believers have identified the speaking in tongues as the evidence that someone is born again.  Yet I have found that those who are demonically tormented spoke in tongues, but under further examination, it was discovered that they were not saved because they never repented and they did not understand the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  One hundred years ago, Jessie Penn-Lewis warned the believers of her day not to seek after signs in her book called “Soul and Spirit”:

“Again, in connection with the seeking of manifestations as an evidence of a believer having received the baptism od the Spirit, methods have been used to bring these about, that synchronize with the methods of mesmerism, and thus counterfeits have broken into the rue church of Christ. In other cases, believers have had a true influx of the Holy Spirit into their human spirit, and through ignorance they have developed the psychic power latent in the human drame, and brought about mixture in their own life and service for God.  If a chorus is sung over and over again, they can bring a meeting into a psychic condition, when those present become incapable od intelligent thinking, or any decisive action of will.  Thus on a flood tide of psychic force in the world today thee demons are carrying out their plans and purposes.
