  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I would look at how he was prophesying over in the book of Samuel. As you said, he had the filling with the gifts (the gift of prophesying) and such for a period of time, but Saul did not want to be obedient to GOD.

Washer wants to be clothed in the power of GOD but continue to downplay and denigrate Charismatics and Pentecostals. I'm sorry, but the power of GOD is not for us, it's for GOD to witness through us. We are to be witnesses "of Him."

EDIT: I really don't want to take the thread off topic by talking about Washer and his ideas.

I don't see him as denigrating Charismatics, he disagrees in some areas but that's not denigrating it's just a different perspective in a more reformed tradition.

Paul Washer isn't a hollering pastor. He seems laid back.
