True Faith?
Friday night's Prayer & Power night was just all right for me, just all right. Vincent Leoh (the General Superintendent of The Assemblies of God Malaysia) preached on Faith and he preached way past 9 leaving only a little time for prayer.
He had some relevant points on how Faith should be exercised but I didn't agree with all the points. I also felt there wasn't enough grounding, he also talked about claiming thing in faith but warned the congregation about claiming healing in faith, and to exercise extreme caution when doing that.
Some of the points were ambiguously sounding like Word Faith stuff, not outright, could be implicit or not at all. Perhaps it could have been made clearer when he was preaching.
You see, Faith is like treading on quicksand you can't make it out to be more or less of what the Bible says it is! Or like Cecilia talks about doctrine, balancing a few marbles on a totally flat tray, tilt too much to either sides all the marbles will fall to the ground!
O God, how we need discernment in our churches today!
I do not know the stand of the A/G churches on the Word Faith preachers but there are some events in Singapore that feature these people, and some of them involve the A/G churches.
Pray for the modern churches today! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to start going to Bible Study! A few of us are going to one very solid every Tuesday! Ask me or Jenn today!
I leave you with these verses!
2 Peter 2:1-3
1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

I comment!
woah. nice to know you're listening really intently and checking it against the Word! reminds me that we should take more responsibility for what we listen to.. =)
Yeah i agree with you too. Felt the same way. His points are not very grounded on the word. But thank God that he did cover up some of his "unsaid" points. Overall i really feel that he could have explained his stuff better with a more soild grounding on scripture. I really pray that the leaders teaching in the adult cells will be decerning to "correct the wrongs".

Thanks for commenting guys!
It's awesome to know that there like-minded people in the same church who see the need for grounding! I thank God for you!
Now, more more!! Hehe...
let's pray for vincent instead then. since he will be preaching to the church over the next 4 weeks. we have a right to our convictions but we also ought to lift our speakers up in prayer if our spirit is stirred against what is being preached. :) *jeanie
NO Jeanie, Ps Lim will be back this weekend, Vincent Leoh was going to be preaching for the next 4 services (Sat and 3 Sunday services) not 4 weeks! hahahaha... Pray for our leaders, pray that they will properly and fearfully handle the World of God so that we may be blessed.
