I have several friends either attending there or on staff... I love and respect each of them and they assure me that my impressions from afar are very much spot on. I have an extremely hard time associating any of the words you used to describe Bill with him or any of the people I know who are in ministry with him. I have found no spirit of control but only freedom and releasing at Bethel. They focus on the Lord and allow Him to show up and move. I think we will have to agree to disagree but I do so thank you for your heart and speaking out what you feel. I know you did it out of concern and I appreciate that.<br /><br />I pray that the Lord continue to lead and guide you in all things!<br />Blessings,<br />~Karrilee~~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-18985667511380286422011-12-19T22:56:51.159-08:002011-12-19T22:56:51.159-08:00I came across your blog when I was researching the...I came across your blog when I was researching the false teachings of Bill Johnson and his church, Bethel. Sister, this man and his teachings are dangerous!! You would do well to heed what you are listening to. He does not teach sound doctrine! He and the others he hangs out with take all of the control of God and presume to weild it themselves! And they teach you to do the same. He is a manipulator, elitist, and practices spiritual abuse. Please think through and pray for discernment! My ex-husband is really wrapped up in this and it caused great division in our marriage. It is very sadd. It's not about 'bringing the kingdom'or whatever it is that you call it -- the only thing it's about is spreading 'the gospel' and telling others of Christ!!Mountain Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881425039506649905noreply@blogger.com
