Philippians 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; {harmless: or, sincere} {ye shine: or, shine ye}

"The Vineyard Movement" (II.)
NOTES
The Vineyard insists that the _sign__ gifts of the Spirit are still operable today. They believe that these _gifts__ are manifested in _every__ _believer_ on a regular basis.
2 Comments:
A- The __sign___ gifts were given for a _time__ to _validate__ the message of the _gospel__. I Cor. 14:22
B- During apostolic times, not _every__ believer was blessed with _sign__ gifts. I Cor. 12 & 14
Wimber believes that Jesus taught the disciples _how_ to perform _signs___ & _wonders__. NOT TRUE!!
The disciples were _amazed_ when they discovered that the Holy Spirit was _working__ through them. Luke 10:17
He did not _teach_ them how to cast out _demons_ or _teach__ them how to _heal__.
HEALING
Wimber believes that we can _command__ healing.
He also believes that we can _learn_ healing methods through _trial_ & _error__ methods. Jesus didn't. He _never__ failed to heal!!! All were _instantaneous_.
***The _emphasis_ of the New Testament is not _signs_ & _wonders_ but _obedience to the Lord's _commands_. John 14:10-24
Wimber practices "_psychic_ _healing__".
"If you're sick, then ot's from the _Devil_."
God does send sickness, hurts, for at least 3 reasons:
1- To _chasten_ His children (Joel most righteous)
2- To _test_ His children
3- To _humble_ & _strengthen_ His _children_
Vineyard Healing Teams are encouraged to use _simulative_ & _meditation__ as healing techniques.
MARK 16:17-18
Who influenced Wimber most???
1- Agnes _Sanford___ 2- Ruth _Carter___ Stapleton
3- Francis _Mc Nutt_?__ 4- Michael _Scanlon_
5- Kenneth _Hagen_?_
Wimber believes that _dead__ saints still _heal___.
He believes that Jesus made __earthly_ appearances after the _ascent__.
Wimber is fully _charismatic__ and very sympathetic to the _Roman _Catholic_ Church.
Wimber believes in "_Holy_ _Launcher__."
The Vineyard's influence over the _promise_ _keeper_ is enormous.
LESSON
All we need to deal with __life_ and its problems is:
1- _prayer__
2- _Bible Study_
3- power of _Holy_ _Spirit_
MATTHEW 24:24
