Let me tell you exactly what you can expect right now. We're going to do an analysis, a biblical analysis of the teachings of Bill Johnson and Chris Valotton and really the focus is going to be on understanding what it is that they teach and their practices. So this will be about the movement that's being inspired by Bill Johnson and Chris Valoten and

Bethel Church in Redding, California. This isn't just about them. It's about their

whole movement, which is worldwide. And I want to do this very carefully. So I've compiled a bunch of

not only quotes, but video clips of their actual teachings so that you guys can get from the

horse's mouth this is really what they teach I'm not going to take them out of

context I've gone through oh probably 60 hours of footage of their stuff over the past months trying to gather this information

Understand it and I think I understand where they're coming from and I think I understand it. It makes sense to me

So I feel like I can explain it to you. So by way of introduction here's how the

format's going to go. We'll talk about how Bethel's movement got started, how it's

engineered in order to create a signs and wonders kind of momentum that they have going in their

movement. We'll talk about specific issues related to their theology and their

hermeneutic or the way that they interpret the Bible. I have some concerns about

the way they're interpreting the Bible.

We'll talk about issues related to how they perform prophecy and how they do healing

and we will specifically deal with of course Bethel buthel, but again, it's worldwide.

And here's how I'm approaching this.

I'm not going to do this, like pretty much almost everyone I've seen do this.

Just about everybody I've seen do this, they're either defending Bethel but not looking at Bethel's teaching.

So they're defending Bethel, but they're not being thoughtful about, but what are they really teaching?

Like, I'm defending the people, but I'm not responding to the teachings and practices.

You get what I mean?

So there's a defense of the individuals without an examination of what's going on.
