Preachers are not prophets

Author:  Paulo Arieu [0] Introduction Sects in Latin America mushrooming all kinds lados.Son all charismatic cults, emotional as possible, that appeal to the faith of the individual and their immediate needs. Few of these sects are truly biblical and a characteristic of them is that always appeal to the authority of some guru who recognize as a prophet. But there is no true prophets, as in biblical times. A look at the church today reminds us how long a Holy God to fulfill his threat to throw this Laodicea of her mouth, as if in some commentators agree the Revelation is that we are in the era of Laodicea about the Church. Christ is now "wounded in the house of his friends." The holy book of the living God now suffers more exhibitors than their opponents. Only the Church can "put limits the Holy One of Israel" and now he does it with extraordinary skill. If there are degrees in death, then the worst death I know is preaching about the Holy Spirit without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We trace, ie, exposing either the Word of Truth. The text: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock" (Revelation 3:20)  has nothing to do with sinners. Here we find the tragic portrait of our Lord at the door of the Laodicean church trying to enter. Imagine. In most prayer meetings the most widely used text is: "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in their midst" but too often is not in the middle, but at the door. We sing his praises, but refuse him. bankruptcy O believers, blind, and still praising its virtues! We're naked and we realize this, we are rich (the church never had better equipment than now), but we are poor (never had less spiritual anointing to present). We have no need of nothing (and yet, we lack almost everything that characterized the apostolic church). Can He be "among us" while we show our nakedness shamelessly spiritual? [i] Pentecostal warn of false prophets      International Pentecostal Holiness Church alguos years ago recently published a paper in which fixed position relative to the apostolic movement and further includes an alert regarding the false prophets. The denomination with over 108 years of tradition as a Pentecostal denomination and a membership of 4.2 million members in 95 countries, says it is committed to the Word and the Holy Spirit's action in a document of 21 pages entitled "The International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC).

"God is moving in these days and with an emphasis on apostolic and prophetic anointing," said the President of the name James D Bishop Leggett.
"This document recognizes and provides guidelines to practice apostolic leadership.

But a word of caution expressed in relation to the false prophets.

"It is good that the church today has a balanced approach."

The paper covers three kinds of apostles, Jesus Christ as the High Apostle, the twelve apostles as the foundational apostles and the apostles functional (as today). The role of the apostles of today is "planting the gospel in every culture in the world" and this have to do "based on Jesus Christ, the Apostle and High foundational apostles as" specifies the document.

"We recognize the ministry of the apostles and bishops functional in the history of the church ... But we also recognize that false prophets have appeared in the apostolic church in the same way as has happened in the historic church and we must remain vigilant of the constant danger of these "emissaries of Satan"

Pentecostalism is one of the fastest growing segments of global Christianity about 500 million people worldwide. But with this successful growth have also been problems with false teachers who promise cures in exchange for donations to churches that are used for personal enrichment.
Most Christian churches in Africa have denounced false prophets who claim to be anointed Pentecostal preachers. In the section of the document entitled "Recognizing the True and False Apostles" indicates that there are false apostles or people who have not been anointed by God but "carnal men who usurp his grounder for his own glory."

"This document presents a solid Biblical foundation for both the historic apostolic ministry to the present," said Ed Wood, President of the Apostolic Commission.

To distinguish the true from the false apostles, the document lists the characteristics of true apostles which include:

• Being faithful ministers to the writings and teachings of the foundational apostles
• Accept personal responsibility that God has given to the Great Commission at the cost of great personal sacrifice
• Follow serving but no one has given a title or recognition of their role
• Be free from the love of money

In 2005, the Board of the denomination, at the request of the General Conference delegates, appointed seven scholars of the denomination to conduct a biblical and historical study of the role of apostle in the Church. Also invited representatives of their regions to participate in it.
The final document was presented to the General Board of Directors, which is the highest governing body and was the October 30, 2007, with changes menores.En this document also issuing directives for apostolic ministries practices and theological aspects.
Though "the document is the result of the leadership of Pentecostal Holiness that seeks to provide a biblical position regarding the current apostolic movement", I think, do not think there need functional apostles as expressed in this article from The International Pentecostal Holiness Church. The apostles of today are the missionaries. There is no need to redefine the ministry of the apostle because the Bible is clear. It happens that all these organizations are not governed 100% by what the Bible says. So are eclectic, be accommodating as required by the momento.van improvising. [ii] Since God speaks by prophets and God Nor already speaks through the prophets. I do not care what is said on television, or other media TB evangélicos.Charles link Swindoll says, citing J Stott that

The Christian preacher is a prophet. That is, he does not receive his message of God as a direct revelation and original. Of course, the word prophet is used today by some personas.No lightly is uncommon to hear a man preaching with passion, described as someone who has prophetic fire. And a preacher able to discern the signs of the times, you see the hand of God in the history of each day and try to interpret the meaning of the twists and political and social events, is sometimes called prophet and possessor of lighting prophetic. But I think this kind of utiliación the title of prophet is improper. [1]

It is then a prophet? The Old Testament considered as the nearby protazvos of God ... the prophet was called dae mouth quienDios Tarver God communicated his words to hombre.El prophet spoke, not in their own words and in his own name. The Christian preacher, by cosniguiente not a prophet. In the not given any revlecion original, but its task is to proclaim the revelation that was given once for all. (Jude 3)
The last occurrence in the Bible of the formula "came the word of God" refers to John the Baptist (Luc.3: 2), because he was a true prophet. The prophets spoke as oracles of God. Never was brought the prophecy by human will, on the contrary, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21).
The word gr. that aparce here is phero, which literally means to be "moved elsewhere by the power of self." It is a nautical term used for boats with no rudder or sails, which are washed and are at the mercy of the waves, wind and current. Here the word is used by the prophets, who were motivated not by his own power, but by the power of God as he spoke through them and revealed his will. Rony Chaves and TV link are investigated by the secular press in Costa Rica In our country there are many churches cristianas.Pero some do not know if correctly interpreted the biblical writings are simple or organizations that profit from the faith. In the "Community international apostolic passion for souls", it appears that his name should be passion for money, because its message is more than insistent that money moves the hand of God. So make it look on Radio Anointing to pose, which motivate people to call to donate and fill the ballot with amounts of money. Again Anointing Tv online and in the videos of their worship and conducting health campaigns and put on the web. Depending on what you ofrende, at that rate you will get the grace, God's retribution, he will prosper, something hard to believe, but what happens between pastors who profess these messages and people who have gaps or problems and found refuge here. Some have given what little they have for God's favors. As if faith could buy. Still others have left the church because they did not share that interpretation of the biblical writings do. Here are weeks where dumped all its resources to borrow money from the faithful, in so-called "cross" or "prosperity compañas "where according to their biblical interpretations, if you give you receive from God. To meet its goal of raising money not only use their services on Sundays and weekdays in the evenings, also dumped all the action at the station with campaigns, all with the purpose of motivating people to be generous with the Lord's work. In this way through their interpretation of the Bible about the offering and arguing that God wants prosperity for all people shows up to their property, to comply with the message of the shepherds. With a hidden camera left at noon on 01 April to the station, in one of these campaigns, where people gather to pray and make an offering, after insistent biblical messages on planting, seed delivery, the pact hundredfold and apostolic blessing pit , which is neither more nor less than the bank of the gathering of the church that day. Both pastors and theologians criticize the so-called prosperity theology and intent to extort money from people. And it among church goers Passion for Souls can be multiple confusion by giving the pastors message or situations that may be contradictory, but: what if prosperity comes or there is frustration at the failure attributed to little faith? Passion for the money In just four years the Passion for Souls Church went through the roof, now owns almost an entire block on 10th Avenue in San Jose. In addition, nine properties worth more than $ 2 million are in the name of the pastor and his wife by a society. The media and the pulpit are the weapons of the church to spread the message full of stimuli to surrender. Passion for Souls performs worship almost every day of the week and all of them offering to change for the better is this: Television news as found in its main building located in the capital with the help of a hidden camera. Pastors are the ones who thrive in churches church founder Passion for Souls, William Magana Vargas, went from a simple life to walk with bodyguards and negotiate the purchase of a private jet to "facilitate the work of God." And definitely, in this proposed some professing Christian churches give money and goods to God for Him to multiply, which have thrived in abundance are the shepherds. bloom between churches based business prosperity theology Pastors and called apostles of prosperity are linked and are part of some directives: walk the offering encouraging churches, planting and tithe. These churches, ministries, pastors or apostles who profess called prosperity theology with biblical interpretations have different relationships with each other, for example, the leader of Oasis of Hope, Raul Vargas, also a member of the board of Link Channel 23 directed by another controversial Pastor Jonah Gonzales and where no qualms frequent campaigns to give money to the cause of God that will lead to blessing and prosperity. Pastor Ronny Chaves makes large constructions with 'Money God' The apostle and prophet Chaves Ronny prosperity built a retreat center apostolic rooms and more in San Isidro de Heredia whose value is over one million dollars. The rapid growth of the churches and pastors of prosperity is more than evident, since it is a feature that stands out. Ronny For Chaves, plus Tibás center facilities where it operates Christian Center Church San Jose, the store, the World Centre and House of Worship Worshipper, also building this apostolic retreat center which also lives the apostle and prophet very near there also perform the construction of the Oasis of Hope megachurch . [iv] Conclucion Ronny Chavez is a false prophet. No need to clarify what I think a lot of Him A scoundrel who found him returning to the Latin church to live upstairs. And worst of all, they are the same people that want to hear that message. And then they themselves who are offended when they remove all "wool." But we no longer need prophets.

Now that the written Word of God is available to all, the Word of God by the mouth of the prophets and not necesaria.La word of God comes to men today. She has come once and for all, and men should come to her.

The great preachers become famous pulpits, the "prophets" made ​​famous prisons. May the Lord send "prophets" terrible men to speak out and not shut up, throwing anointed corrupt nations woes for men
too hot to be accepted, too hard to be heard, too righteous to be tolerated! We are tired of men dresses adorned with soft and smooth tongue, rivers of words using a few drops of
spirituality, they know more of consecration competition, and promotion of prayer! Pastors propagation substituting propaganda and take better care of the fun of the church of his holiness?
Oh, how we need the fire! Where is the power of the Holy Spirit that pays sinners?
God bless
