Asbury is another Christian Liberal Arts College. No, we haven't had anything like the Great Awakenings, but there's been pockets of stuff around. Like the Jesus Movement which primarily reached the Hippies. Which one of these is about Jesus? Down with authority, We should be able to have free love where everyone fornicates with whoever they want? And why would someone who believes Jesus not believe Him when He said go to the Father and ask and He will give it to you. What are you talking about? The Jesus Movement wasn't the Hippie movement - the Jesus Movement is what brought many hippies to salvation. Evangelism was the key theme of these new Christians. Many of them would simply play guitars and sing on the sidewalks about Jesus as a means to draw people in. Record labels such as Maranatha! (the forefront praise and worship recording company through the 70's and a bit into the 80's) sprang from the Jesus Movement. So I am not understanding what you are protesting? I see.So you're saying that a few people singing songs on the sidewalk getting on to a record label defines a movement. Sounds like people reaching out to people to me. A lot of rock n roll songs are talkin' about Jesus without sayin' His name, you just have to know how to hear. Kansas has one, it goes like this, He knew, oh yes He knew more than me or you, where are you going to? Styx: How can there be such a sinister plan that could hide such a lamb such a character man? And Jesus said be careful how you hear to he who has more will be given. The spirit of God is always moving in someone, why if it happens in a way that recieves attention or notoriety is it a movement, or some new thing that God is doing. As for me I'll try the spirits to see if they are of God. I'm not ready to jump on every wind of doctrine that comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you use secular artists to discredit the work of the Holy Spirit in people's lives? How about Keith Green? If you love the Lord, you will love His will for you Instead of questions why, there'll be praise for all He brings you through And if you love the Lord, you will love His holy commands Delight yourself in them, and everything you do will surely stand Or Petra? Get back to the Bible It's telling you the way to go Jesus is the answer to everything you need to know Or Second Chapter of Acts? Hear the bells ringing, they're singing That we can be born again Hear the bells ringing, they're singing Christ has risen from the dead Or Lamb? The Sacrifice Lamb has been slain His blood on the altar a stain To wipe away guilt and pain To bring hope eternal Salvation has come to the world God's only Son to the world Jesus the one for the world Yeshua is He And Jesus said be careful how you hear to he who has more will be given. The spirit of God is always moving in someone, why if it happens in a way that recieves attention or notoriety is it a movement, or some new thing that God is doing. Why so much bitterness? Have you ever heard the testimonies of the people who got saved through this? One of my pastors got saved and filled with the Spirit within this movement. Another friend who is now in ministry had an encounter with God - the kind that left him on the floor crying out in repentance. As for me I'll try the spirits to see if they are of God. I'm not ready to jump on every wind of doctrine that comes along. Or you will miss the Lord entirely because He didn't fit into your parameters. Transforming the youth against their peers and their subculture is no small thing - then or now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transforming the youth against their peers and their subculture is no small thing - then or now. I have no parameters, niether does God. That's why I see Him everywhere, except where sickly, sleepy eyed believers look. Not gonna toot my horn here, lest you think I'm having a movement. But the people who God sent to me, and that I've baptised, were told by so called churches that they couldn't be saved. When you understand that Paul was talkin' about "ALL" the organised religions of nowadays in II Timothy chapter 4, then you'll know why I'm not lookin' for Him in your church. Last fanatical tongue talkin' church I went to,God asked them why they hadn't came to Jesus yet. I've spent the night in jail, and been released with no charges, for tellin' a bible story at a revival. As a son of God, I am very skeptical of anyone calling themselves a christian or talkin' about bein' in " THE MINISTRY. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I am not understanding what your post has to do with what we were talking about. But what you describe sure sounds whacked. Churches telling people they couldn't be saved? And I don't know what you mean by "your church". What church do you perceive me to be a part of? The tiny congregation I recently started attending, the larger youth group/young adult all-night worship services at another congregation? The fellowship of believers on this Board? Not all churches that believe in the gift of tongues are "fanatical". And I've seen "prophets" so puffed up with pride that their behavior got in the way of any message the Lord may have genuinely had to give.

But it would appear to me that just as the bible predicted (Once again) there is a great falling away. We have the whole new age religion and the zeitgeist thing going on. Both are quite luciferian in principal. And zeitgeist spits lie after lie in the movie. None the less, millions fell for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true revival is an evangelical event in which a "sort of preacher" called into ministry by God goes around and tries to encourage souls to improve or harvest souls from a field of unsaved.

Matthew 24:11 He's Right For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers the early years, spiritually speaking, in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
