		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think I need to reply to this latest comment because it&#039;s just a rehashing of the same argument:  Andrew Wommack has done a lot of good and you haven&#039;t done anything worthwhile; therefore, you have no right to criticize him.

I&#039;m closing the comments on this post and the Joseph Prince post since it&#039;s not worth my time responding to the same points over and over again.  Thanks, everyone, for the discussion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Dave,

Is this all u do to spend ur time here on earth ?? Writing blogs and criticizing people. I too watch Andrew&#039;s TV programs and I think they are awesome and life-changing. My own life has been turned right side up since last year when I started watching his programs.

I appreaciate ur efforts that u really want to expose the false teachers, but there is a time and place for that. Even the early apostles didnt go about preaching that this is wrong and that is wrong. They didnt force people to give up worshipping idols and their old religious systems.

All they did was go about telling everyone about Jesus Christ and His finished works and the signs and wonders followed. Therefore people believed and got saved and started experiencing the joy and peace of God.

Come on man, spend ur time preaching the Gospel and manifesting His powers in people&#039;s lives and blessing them. There is a place for bad mouthing false prophets but dont spend ur entire life pointing out every little mistake of others.

Slandering others doesnt make u a smart man. It just shows that U have nothing else to do in life. Man, just look at the good things Andrew has done in people&#039;s lives and ask for their comments. 

Have u ever brought healing to anybody&#039;s life ?????? Have u ever given tons of CDs and tapes for free ?

My Dear brother Dave, I am not writing this criticize u but to make u realize what u r doing. I am saying this out of love for in Christ. The more u have bitterness against anybody, the worse u feel in the end. Its bad for u man. Ask ur self, have u ever been a tremendous blessing to anyone else.

I have seen a lot people who just keep on criticizing others and end up being bitter in the end. FOrget about what Andrew is doing. Doesnt matter if he is right or wrong, u start living for others and be a blessing to others. Isnt that what Christ expects to be ??????

Love,
Sachin]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Galdly, because compared to the way I used to be, you see you did not know me God and I knew me, and Dave I hated the way I was and when I asked the Lord to change me and make me like Him  He did all the glory goes to Him and Him alone. And  now my thoughts are different and so are my actions. We should never be too proud to say that we are good, not because of anything that we have done, but what Jesus did on the cross. It might sound like I&#039;m being conceited, but just look at what Paul said, about that it was not him living, but Christ living through him. That is so amazing. You will probably agree with me in the way that you see people now. I don&#039;t see the bad in them anymore, but the good that is in everybody. I see people through the eyes of our Lord with love and compassion. When God is in our hearts there is nothing that we cant&#039; do and that should reflect the way we live. Like right now I don&#039;t even know you and I feel so connected to you. I&#039;ve praying to God about Andrew Wommack and God has put in my heart that all these teachers have some truth to them, but ultimately there will come a time when our decerning spirits will let us know the things of God, and it&#039;s up to us to make the choice of weather we are going to listen to what the bible says or what man says. Have a great day. Dave how old are you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sylvia, I appreciate your zeal for our Lord.  I just want to make sure that, in my life as well as yours, our zeal is according to knowledge (see Romans 10:2).  It&#039;s important to have both.  I, too, am a sinner who has been saved by the grace of God into a new life.  He is renewing me inwardly day by day, conforming me to the image of Jesus Christ His Son.  What a powerful God we serve!

All I&#039;m trying to say about Andrew Wommack is this:  be careful about his teaching.  While much of his teaching is good, much of it is dangerous, too.  I thank God that He has used this man to bring you to Himself.  God frequently uses imperfect people and imperfect teachings to accomplish His purposes, just like He is using you and me.  I simply want people to examine carefully Wommack&#039;s teachings, to filter the good from the bad.  From what you&#039;ve said, it sounds like God has used the good part of his teaching—the gospel of salvation by faith in Christ alone—to bring you to salvation.  That&#039;s something we both can be happy about.

I was confused by one thing from your latest comment, though…what do you mean by &quot;I can say now that I am a good person, because I can feel good about everything&quot;?  Could you explain that more clearly for me?  Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I just want to say that according to what God has done to my heart. Look it is very hard to explain the change without one having experienced getting the devil out of you and now having the very nature of God Himself in you. I can say now that I am a good person, because I can feel good about everything. I am 44 years old and prior to Nov 2005 I was walking around in a haze, a fog, dead dead dead do you understand what takes place in our being, through what Jesus did on the cross. It is so amazing the revelation that takes place when you know that you were a child of the devil and now you know without  a shadow of a doubt that you are a child of God. I did not mean to insult you, but you have to realize that when a person knows absolutely nothing about God, and you hear someone say in such simple terms using the Bible that we are to be born again, you start to question your existance. I thank God for people like Andrew Wommack that say it like it is, and does not mince words. Maybe that&#039;s what you don&#039;t like about him, because he rubbed you the wrong way. I went to see him at a church close to my home and took my unsaved husband, and this is what he said.&quot; He tells it like it is, and I did&#039;t like it&quot;. My husband does not realize that It was the message about being self-centered that Andrew takes from the Bible that he did not like. If you are self-centered and you don&#039;t want to change you will not like the person that delivered that message. What do you belive on being baptized with the Holy Spirit? Look the Bible says that we only know in part, but one day we will know everything, because we will see Jesus as He really is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your thoughts, Gary.  However, I don&#039;t agree it&#039;s quite that cut-and-dried.  You&#039;re right in that the Old Testament teaches dichotomy; however, numerous passages in the New Testament seem to do so as well.  I&#039;m assuming your comment on the Word separating soul and spirit is based on Hebrews 4:12 (a verse I analyzed in an above comment).  For the moment, I doubt Paul had a distinction between soul and spirit in mind in the 1 Corinthians 14 reference; I&#039;ll go along with Grudem in saying that &quot;the point is simply that there is a nonphysical element to our existence that can at times function apart from our conscious awareness of how it is functioning.&quot;  When I drive a car, I do it by instinct, often with my mind wandering somewhere else.  That doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;m driving with my trichotomous spirit; it simply means that I wasn&#039;t engaging my conscious mind.  Thanks for bringing that passage up, though; I will take some more time to consider it carefully (I can definitely see where you&#039;re coming from).

Sylvia, before accusing me of sinful behavior such as unrighteous anger, pride, being a know-it-all, and snobbishness, would you please show me what exactly I said that was sinful?  Perhaps you misunderstood my tone (a notorious problem in online discussion).  While I&#039;m sure Andrew Wommack is a neat guy, it is clear that he is very often irresponsible in his use of scripture, often approaching the Bible &lt;i&gt;with&lt;/i&gt; an agenda rather than &lt;i&gt;for&lt;/i&gt; an agenda.]]></description>

You sound like a know it all, but let me tell you that the only one that knows it all is God, and He is the only one that can deliver us from a snobby attitude. Belive me  used to be like you until He came into my life and humbled me. He gave us the scriptures to reveal Himself to us, not so we could reveal ourselves to Him. I say this in love, ask Him to humble you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man is indeed a three part being. In the Old Testament man was usually referred to using a dichotomy. In the New Testament, Trichotomy is the norm. Truth is the heart of mn is composed of both soul and spirit and only the Word can separate the two.

The strongest verse that proves trichotomy is when Paul stated that when he prayed in an unknown tongues his SPIRIT prayed but his MIND was unfruitful.

If the mind (soul) and spirit are one in the same this would not make sense. The psuche (gr soul) is said to refer to the mental or reasoning faculties of man in some of the best dictionaries.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because on Nov 4th 2005 I was watching Andrew Wommack I became a follower of Christ, he was teaching on spirit, soul, and body and he said that Jesus says that we have to be born again to see the kingdom of God. This woke me up from the  spiritual coma I was on. I surrendered my life to Jesus and God&#039;s love in the form of grace came flooding in my dead spirit and I was born again and God Himself gave me a fleshy heart as oposse to a heart of stone that I had. Oh, I praise The Lord for He is good. I adore Him. Ephesians says in the 2nd chapter that we were dead, and boy did I feel dead before my Lord rescued and forgave me.]]></description>
