QuotetpcwocattenderWhat would benefit most Christians today is a clear understanding of church history. Remember the game when you were a kid where you whispered something in a person’s ear and they whispered it in the next, so on and so forth until you get to the end and it is discovered that the original message was fouled up? This simple analogy can be applied to the church. How long has so

Are You The Victim of a Mind Control Cult? Test Yourself. (Please answer the following questions honestly) Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, the ‘good deeds’ you perform for your group are never quite enough? As a result of this do you often feel plagued with feelings of guilt? What are you motivated by? Is it genuine love for God and the group etc., or is it fear of not m

Quoteiattend It seems like you guys just assume all healing is fake and the churches that have healing are wacked. Nice to see ya again Iattend. These are exciting times at Turning Point Church. With the launch of United Global Ministries they have fully given themselves over to the teachings and instructions of the New Apostolic Reformation along with the likes of Todd Bently, Rick Joine

How do you define "doctrine"? I see where some say, "right or wrong doctrine doesnt matter" or "I didn't leave Turning Point Church because of doctrine." So-- what do you mean when you say "doctrine"? If true or false doctrine doenst matter then why did Peter, Paul and John confront false teachers who taught doctrines contrary to what they t

QuoteiattendI attend turning point and here is my view. 7. I trust God. I trust Him to tell me where to go and if I am in some horrible church where my salvation is at stake I really think He would get me out. See if false doctrine is being taught it can't change whether or not my heart is seeking after God and if I am seeking after Him He will show me if I am messed up or if something I

All of this SOUNDs good. Right? Sounds LIKE truth, does it not? Except that the truth has been twisted just a teeny tiny bit. Who can find where Mike has ever so slightly twisted the truth to suit his purposes? Yes, this is a challenge. So who is up to the challenge? Anyone? Can any Marysville Pastor see the flaws? Anyone?

I sense there is a general disappointment with leaders in all areas-church, politics, corporate business, media, education, etc. Hence the growth of Home based churches, Tea Party, wall street backlash, decline in readership and viewerships of news organizations, and the continue growth of homeschooling. The mass exodus from Turning Point Church in Marysville is just one symptom of a larger

Isa 42:3 (KJV) He Promises that, “A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.” If the flame is still lit, no matter how diffused and ineffective, He will not quench it, but thoughtfully and lovingly watch over it, tend it, and protect it until the flame can once again burn with intensity.
