Questions and Responses

Question: I have read your articles on replacement theology and Israel. You stated that Gentiles observing the festivals and other Torah laws were frauds. Could you please explain?

Question: Our church says you must speak in tongues or you don't have the Holy Spirit. Is tongues for all?

Question: Recently...Dave said that for someone to practice speaking in tongues would be as foolish as to practice raising the dead....You should always consider very carefully what you are dishing out to your hearers.

Question: Why do you speak of Pentecostal charismatics in such a derogatory manner? ... I resent the fact that you categorize all [of us] as believing in the "name it and claim it movement."

Question: In a recent Q & A you said that speaking in tongues has led many, including charismatic pastors and evangelists, into immorality. I take exception to that harsh statement. Why did you say it?

Question: Everywhere I turn I find the “Alpha Course.”... What is the “Alpha Course” and what is your opinion about it?

Question: Your November issue has a misleading statement that needs to be publicly corrected: “In spite of Pentecostal and charismatic claims that no Christian need ever be sick....” I am an AOG pastor. Neither my denomination nor I believe that.

Question: What has been called the “Laughing Revival” is evidently not all fun and games. I’ve been told that there is a very militant side to it. Is that true?

Question: I have appreciated The Berean Call and read it eagerly each month as soon as it arrives. I was disappointed, however, that you never said a word about the huge ecumenical gathering of Roman Catholic and Protestant charismatics....

Question: "Not all Pentecostal churches believe that we should never be sick. Please correct this statement."
