Hey BEAT family! This is a very important video for two reasons. First, I want you to be well aware of these verses when you hear them being taken out of context and being misused thus leading many Christians astray. I hope you will not be led astray by these verses and certain members in these churches. Second, I want this to be a lesson on CORRECT Biblical interpretation so that you are rightly dividing the word of God. Let me know below if you have any other questions and what your understanding of these verses have been. Also, let me know of some other verses that you are confused about so that I can address those in a future video. Enjoy!

*I LOVE THIS ANALOGY* When *GOD* wanted to create fish, *HE* spoke to the sea. When *GOD* wanted to create trees, *HE* spoke to the earth. But when *GOD* wanted to create man, *HE* turned to Himself. Then *GOD* said: "Let us make man in our image and in our likeness". Note: If you take a *fish* out of *the water* it will die; and when you remove a *tree* from *soil*, it will also die. Likewise, when man is disconnected from *GOD*, he dies. *GOD* is our natural environment. We were created to live in *His* presence. We have to be connected to *Him* because it is only in *Him* that life exists. Let's stay connected to *GOD*. We recall that *water* without *fish* is still *water* but *fish* without *water* is nothing. The *soil* without *tree* is still *soil* but *the tree* without *soil* is nothing ... *GOD* without man is still *GOD* but man without *GOD* is nothing. May God Bless You 🙏
The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHER, Allen Parr's teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher. Abraham is our father and what God did to him is what we should expect God to do to us. Galatians 3:7, says, Know that if you are of faith, you are a child of Abraham - If you follow this man, he will lead you to hell, study the Bible for yourself and claim everything in it for you. False teachers start well, but once they have enough following, they lead you down to hell.
@@binoalab I agree with you that believers in Christ are children of Abraham. But when you say, whatever God did to Abraham, he will do to us, it becomes very very problematic: 1. No scripture says whatever God did to Abraham will be done to us 2. According to your reasoning, every believer should from day of conversion leave their family and go over to Canaan, be barren, live up to 90 years for the men, 75 years for the women before they have their one and only Biological child. And I can go on to show the impossibilities that refute your claim. Is there a blessing of Abraham that is ours? Yes, there is. According to Romans 5:1, which is a conclusion of the argument set forth first of all in the last verses of Romans 4, that blessing is JUSTIFICATION, Period! And no one can be more blessed than whoever has been justified because of their faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. God bless you Bro and God bless us, all members of his Church by faith in Christ as we grow in the knowledge of the faith we proclaim.
I am a Pentecostal but thank God my brain, heart and my ears has filter. I always tried to humble myself to listen to different pastors and different churches to confirm my confusion
When you look at the history of Christianity, it’s been a battle of many theologies for the longest. I don’t believe any man has the perfect interpretation and we all fall susceptible to taking something out of context at any time. Some worse than others, sure, but I hope Jesus has mercy on us all for our shortcomings when it comes to understanding this complicated world we live in.
*May the Blood of Jesus cover each mind and may the Holy Spirit lead each and every person who watches this video into TRUTH, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, amen*
That's why we need the holyspirit to guide us, the bible you can do nothing..... Man at his best is vanity....... Understanding is primarily by the spirit not our theology.. That's why we have many doctrines, remember when Christ was leaving, he said and I will send you a helper who will teach you all things.. Let the holy spirit be the teacher and as the bible says, *..... The spirit searches that deep things of God and reveals them to men*.
Theres more error in thinking that you are 100% right on verses like his #5, the binding and loosing verse, then there is a mistake in leaving it open to interpretations such as it possibly being useful in performing deliverance... which, the binding and loosing is very useful in deliverance ministry and it has saved my hide before. What I am saying is, acting like you know it all is a mistake, especially on verses that are clearly open for interpretations like the one I mentioned above. No need to start a battle by accusing people of false doctrine over verses like that. It seems more damaging to the church as a whole then edifying. Call people out for important false doctrines not minor ones that either side might actually be correct on.. not verses where, who knows what the best interpretation with 100% assuredy besides Christ? Dont start drama over stuff like that by accusing people of false doctrine. Which is by all accounts a major claim to make against another believer and can become a down right insult if your heart is in the wrong place and your just trying to win a bible battle for your particular movements position.
Only the Holy Spirit can truly teach you. Please spend time learning, else you will fall for any teaching. Romans 15:4: teaches that whatever is written in the Bible is for us to learn for our comfort and hope. It is not for section one or two only
I grew up in a community with two Pentecostal churches and was constantly told I was not"saved" , but every time they showed me Scripture to "prove" to me I was a lost soul, God whispered the real meaning of the scripture to me. Thank you for confirming my understanding of their misunderstanding.

As an exNew Ager AND an exCharismatic, I say thank you for this. After I got saved I attended Benny Himn’s church. It didn’t take long for me to recognize the same dogma I’d learned in Religious Science and Science of Mind, Unity, etc was in the Word of Faith teachings. Discernment is a gift. Thank You Jesus!
Same over here... I was starting to delve into the charismatic but very quickly found out it didn't add up and saw how even mistranslated words were used to support their claims...
We have power and authority for the kingdom not for selfish purposes. Don’t dismiss speaking God’s word as a believer for His will and permissive will. Titus 2:11-15
For this very reason I limit reading books by Christian authors and have become extremely selective and prayerful about sermons/teachings I watch on CZcams - for fear of being led astray. The Bible is my go to book.
Sorry to say I wasted way too many years chasing after the next book with the answers instead of reading the whole Bible in context. I was led astray by Word of Faith teaching unfortunately. But I am trying to help others not get caught up in it. It sounds so good.
Suzanne Brousseau, I don't read any books on Christianity because there is invariably a mistake in them, unless God tells me to read it. I listen to very few ministries as most invariably will come up with false statements and "back" them up with scriptures that don't apply to their statement. The Bible is my reference book, and a Bible Concordance, sometimes. When you know the truth, Jesus Christ, then the Holy Spirit reveals what is truth and what is lie to you. He confirms it in many ways, one of them being, reading comments here, and when they're true, something in me goes " That's It ! ". Same goes for when I'm talking to someone. Be surrendered and submitted to God always and you'll know "all things", as the Bible says.
@@courtneynicole767 Historically, yes, they were close to the truth, but practically, I've heard many are falling away into weird practices. You should follow Christ, forsaking denominational labels which will deny Christ in some way. If you've found a good Pentacostal church, wonderful. But know, all true Christians are Pentacostal, but are not obeying the tenets of any denomination, but obeying the word of God, as taught by the Holy Spirit.
THANK YOU!! I used to feel like I had 'let my dad die' because I didn't have enough faith to 'pray him back' after he'd been stabbed and in surgery. The enemy had me over this for a long time. Thankfully, the Lord has healed my spirit.
I prayed for my dad mom brothers my husband to be healed they all went to be with Jesus Christ I still believe in healing I was healed of cancer their is nothing so special about me I know that I love Jesus Christ I don't have the answer for what happens in others life God is the only one that knows our heart sign Cynthia Smith
@@peterhussey-yeo9041 When someone is baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (and with faith in Jesus) they receive the Holy Spirit. There is no separate baptism of the spirit.
Baptism of the spirit is just evidence of tongues. Speaking in tongues has two meanings. A angelic prayer and one that requires a interpretation. Angelic prayer is what poured out on Pentecost. I used to think that too because I never spoken in tongues. I used to wonder why I didn’t have the Holy Spirit until my Pentecostal preacher preached over it just being a gift and it’s a wonderful one but it’s only evidence of the Holy Spirit. Just like our fruits. Sorry you had that encounter. After that sermon I quit denying the gift of tongues as a unclean Spirit and then I stopped believing in didn’t have the Holy Spirit. The next couple weeks later I raised my arms and prayed like I never prayed before. I prayed so deep and intimate to God he interceded and filled me with the Holy Spirit with evidence of tongues.

I was also addicted to something and I prayed to lord to punish me whenever I did the same and guess what, everytime I did that(don't really wanna disclose) he did punish me, whether if its me having a really sad day or something else, however he always forgave me for my sins, and hence I've been praying daily so I can wash off my sins😄
Former Pentecostal here, I have for sure heard these verses taken out of context in the way you described. I saw holes in their way of thinking/preaching but have never been able to figure out why, thanks for this video!
What church did you end up attending after leaving the Pentecostal church? I grew up in a oneness Pentecostal church and I am now* looking for a new church.
Mr. Allen, these verses are not limited to being misinterpreted by "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics". I have kept company with Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, and a host of other Believers who have used these verses "out of context". Indeed, zeal is not always balanced with knowledge. But this holds true for many denominations and Believers. It appears that misinterpretations of these scriptures, or any other verses, stem from misguided teachings and sometimes innocently applied reasonings. The perception applied is as if "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics" are of a cultish origin. That is not necessarily the case. In your "calling out" individuals and denominations, it is now coming across as being judgmental and somewhat pious. Your understanding and personal interpretation of the Word is phenomenal, but I am sure that you have had your own pruning and weeding out period in your spiritual growth and development. Stereotyping is never acceptable in our society nor our Church, as you are grouping all "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics" under one roof. That, in itself, is applying spiritual stereotyping and judgement.
Thank you for this comment. I go to a pentacostal church and a pentacostal/charismatic theological college and I've heard some pentacostal use these verses because they heard it from a prosperity preacher. The church I go to is doesn't ever use these verses out of context nor does the college. I think it can describe word of faith movement/prosperity preaching but it shouldn't sum up all pentacostals/charismatics. After all some pentacostal churches I've seen are more like a Presbyterian or baptist church and on the other hand I've seen some baptist and Presbyterian seem more charismatic/pentecostal.
Well man-made sects will always take verses out of context. Only Christ's Church is the pillar of truth (1 timoth 3:15). Any private interpretation leads to a soul to ruin.
I used to be this way! I used to pray and “claim” healing and speak prosperity into existence for my life. Joyce Meyer was my favorite teacher. I was taught how to speak in tongues. I used to “bind” evil spirits in the name of Jesus. Then I began to seek truth and read the Bible in its full context. I was SO lost in this false theology. Thank you Holy Spirit for saving me from false accusations of the character of God! God is WAY bigger than I will ever be! Let HIM be praised forever.
Did you actually get healing and if you did do you believe maybe that power came from another source like a demonic source because people also manifest healing and that definitely isn’t from god or they do reikki healing and while many get physically healed they then need deliverance from demons they allowed in their body. Do you think claiming and rebuking for healing may be a form of witchcraft?
Same thing happened to me many years ago. Even after I stopped attending those types of churches, it took years to realize how the false teachings undermined my growth and sound thinking as a believer. God reveals his truth in his word, and confirms his word in other scriptures. As a new believer in the late 70's, I just assumed those teachers were smarter than I was---when I couldn't figure out how they got that meaning from reading the same passage I was.
Just wanted to remind you that healing is 100% real and still a very active work of God today. And it was provided for in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, which set us free from the curse of the law, which includes all sickness.
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:17-20 NIV GOD bless us all ❤️

@@TheWatchmanWebsite It did, thank you. I've preached twice since this post. Keep me in prayer as I want to make sure I'm always being Biblically sound and most of all living up to the way God wants me to.
@@farealwitit7947 What makes the peace sign demonic? I know the horn sign is but what significants does the peace sign play in demonic activity. I know peace on earth is a false concept...I truly am asking not defending.
This is why daily repentance is so important. What followers have to remember is any spiritual leader is not exempt from Ego. Misinterpretation of Scripture is the reason we have so many dominations of Christianity, we have to pray and read the word daily. God bless anyone who sees this, keep up the good fight in these tough times ahead.
I was raised in the Pentecostal Church, and I disagree with the statements made here. I've never in my 30 yrs of life, heard any Pastor or preacher push the idea of "speaking things into existence" or being physically healed based on that specific verse. I've always understood it as being a spiritual healing. Also, I can't say they push monetary wealth, if anything I've experienced the complete opposite. Pentecostals put an emphasis on the power of The Holy Spirit, and Biblical Doctrine. On not conforming to the ways of the world, seperation, and serious Sanctification through the power of The Holy Spirit. GOD gave the 10 Comandantes to Israel, and that applies to us also as Gentiles. So, there are many things given and told to Israel that can also apply to us gentiles. Many times, it's GOD'S Character on display, His intentions to do us good, and work all things out for our well being. As far as speaking in tongues, Scripture says that's a manifestation of The Holy Spirit, a Spiritual Gift. 1 Corinth. 12:31 tells us to "earnestly desire higher gifts." Walking in the Spirit is evidence that Christ lives in us. That's how we test, and analyze ourselves to see if Christ truly dwells in us. God Bless 🙏🙏
@TS places I've been to church. He was on point with this teaching. I usually have had questions after some sermons preached at church and Allen breaks scripture down to simple understanding for me
@@valarie.parker83 Yeah, I get that. But this was specifically about the Pentecostal Church, and in general at that. Are you referring to the Pentecostal Church, or do you attend a different Church?
I feel like he needs to clarify that this is not all Pentecostal churches. Some are filled with the g-12 movement but there are so many more sound doctrine churches that are Pentecostal that preach nothing but the true bible.
Also, in the Pentecostal denomination there are so many sub denominations and organizations that have their different interpretations of verses and many fight to go against the stereotypes that Pentecostal are faced with
My advice to every born again Christian: 1. Pray to God to receive the Word of God in ITS CONTEXT 2. Read and study the Word of God daily it’s your spiritual food for your soul 3. Be like a noble Berean DO NOT believe everything you read or hear search the Scriptures 4. TEST THE SPIRITS if they are from God 5. Judge righteously and correctly with the Word of God
As children of God we must have Discernment against Satan's Lies. Many Pastors today unfortunately preach and teach False Doctrine. They're more concerned with Profit over Prophecy, I truly appreciate this video May Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Bless you Brother Parr 🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️
@@thebeatagp Don't speak as authority over what you know nothing about. You are trying to set the devil over humans as the prince that cannot be rebuked.

@@binoalab It is really sad to see your comments, and to see how blind you are to the word of God. Please read the Bible as a whole, not in part and ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes. I will pray for you.
@@emilyjones1083 You did not make any point. Continue following him until you get to be thrown into hell. Wake up and claim what Jesus did for you and not be led blindly into hell. You will have yourself to blame
Yes, !!! the speaking in tongues, my pentecostal friend always telling me to I need to be filled with the Holy Spirit then I will get the ability to speak in tongues which I know that is far from the truth .Once we are saved we already have the Holy Spirit living within us.
Paul encourages all believers to seek earnestly the gifts of the spirit. He’s talking to people already saved. And he also says that he wishes all Christians spoke tongues as much as he did.
yes you need to be filled with the spirit and baptized with fire. The Holy Spirit is HOLY. Do you really think that he will fill a believer in habitual sin? When a sinner comes to Christ, they receive the seal of the Holy Spirit. If the believer wants to be filled, they must seek the lord and ask. I am currently asking and seeking for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
@@lukericker8325 Paul also says that he'd rather speak 5 intelligible words that edify the brethren than 10,000 in a tongue that no one understands (1 Corinthians 14:18-19). He also asked rhetorically, "Do all speak in tongues?" The implication being, NO, ALL DO NOT SPEAK IN TONGUES. Plus he said earnestly desire the spiritual gifts ESPECIALLY THAT YOU MAY PROPHECY (1Corinthians 14:1). This is all centered in one overarching command: LOVING ONE ANOTHER. JESUS SAID, "BY THIS ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRULY MY DISCIPLES IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER (John 13:34-35)." The gifts of the Spirit are not given to prove that l'm saved nor for my SELF-indulgence. They are for glorifying God and building up the Church of which Christ is the head (Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 4:14-16, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 1 Corinthians 14:1). To me one of the most devastating passages in God's word is 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. It shows that A PERSON CAN BE EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED BUT MISS THE MARK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BEAR THE FRUIT OF LOVE (Matthew 7:15-23). The fruit of the Spirit is different than the gifts of the Spirit. God gives us spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 4:7, James 1:16-17). THAT'S HIS CHOICE, HIS GENEROSITY. BUT LOVING OTHERS IS OUR CHOICE. God will not force me to love other people. Loving others is volitional especially when dealing with those who've done me harm. God and Jesus have chosen to love me DESPITE ME. Because THEY ARE LOVE (1John 4:8, 16). The first promise in the New Testament is Matthew 1:21. "And she will bear a Son; and you shall call his name Jesus, FOR IT IS HE WHO WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." Of what value is it if l'm loaded with spiritual gifts while also being filled with pride? Or if l am immoral in mind or actions? Or if my heart is trained in greed? Or if l hold anger in my heart against my brother, which Jesus equated with murder? I could go on. The Corinthians were far more legitimately gifted than probably any church in the world today. But they treated the Lord's Supper like a picnic, were taking each other to court, had immorality going on that even pagans would frown upon, and the rich were disdainful of the poor. Being blessed with spiritual gifts does not always translate into a person exhibiting holy and upright moral character. God requires that we be holy for he is holy, holy, holy (Leviticus 11:44-45, Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8).
Acts 2:4 Acts 10:46 Acts 19:6 Tongues is the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost for example the disciples obviously already believed in Jesus yet they still had a separate experience on the day of Pentecost where they received the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues
I am a Pentecostal and I’ve never heard a non tv preacher say that every believer should be healed or rich. I agree that tongues is not THE only sign of The Holy Spirit. There is a difference between being born again and being filled with Holy Spirit. The disciples were born again when Jesus blew on them and said receive the Holy Spirit, then they were baptized in Holy Spirit in the upper room. For me I don’t think God changed the script after the apostles, I believe that the church in the book of Acts is still available today.
Speaking with new tongues is the only true sign of the holyghost... some don't understand that there are 3 different types of tongues. Thats one of the mysteries of the lord. Also all through acts they all spoke with new tongues when receiving the holy SPIRIT.
@@tutking55 I agree that there are 3 different functions of speaking in tongues. The Apostle Paul spoke in tongues, however the Bible does not record him speaking in tongues at the time he was filled with the Holy Spirit, but he immediately began to proclaim Jesus... Acts 9:17-20. I also believe that backsliders who are far away from God can still speak in tongues, it’s never wise in my opinion to use a gift of the Holy Spirit as a marker for a persons spiritual condition. But it’s much more accurate to use the fruit of the Spirit for determining spiritual condition. Remember Judas did signs and wonders, and he was a thief and Trader.
@@oldschoolpreacher5785 well it doesn't say it the way we would want to hear it but its there. John3:8....you have to do a little of word searching and translating but its there. But it doesn't say word for word he spake in tongues.
As a former WOF member, I wholeheartedly co-sign this video. It’s quite dangerous when scriptures are taken out of its context as it truly leads people astray. I’ve seen one of my old pastors mention that healing is determined solely by the believer, so if they died from an illness, it was their fault and they would use Isaiah 53:5-6 ans other scriptures to state that God cannot heal until the believer has enough faith... and I’ve seen way more in my time there. Let’s make sure that when we read the Word that we continue to seek God to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
If only they read the Bible and realised the man at the pool of Bethesda was healed and he didn’t even know who Jesus was 💀 there have been so many times where people prayed for someone who did not have faith they would be healed and they were healed! It’s all dependent on Gods sovereign will. It’s not great faith jn God, it’s faith in a great God. We need to rely completely on a God not on our “amount” of faith. Because then you are putting faith in YOURSELF to be healed and not God! We need to trust and rest, not strive. I admit it’s something I’m personally working on.
Laura and more Laura.. Context should be about the topic. The whole Bible Genesis to Revelation is for you and for me.. That context should be clear and sealed. Romans 1:16-17: The context of saying it is for last generation, for black people, for whites, for Israelite or for Egyptians is Left or right people is a horrible and leading you out to hell. 2 Tim 3:16-17, Bible stories are lessons for us to learn from.
BRAVO ALEN!!! You hit the BIG 5 I always hear and see abused....that SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY believers are constantly taking scripture out of context and rewriting the word to suit themselves is concerning!
Regarding the 2nd point on using “By His Stripes, we were healed” in Isaiah 53:5. Allen claimed that this is only for spiritual healing. May I suggest that this includes physical healing too. Allen mentioned that one has to read the context to understand the biblical meaning. Well and good. If you look into verse 4 of Isaiah 53, it is talking about physical illness. Matthew 8:17 confirms this: “This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”” Matthew 8:17 NIV Clearly, the early Christians interpreted that both physical and spiritual healings were part of the work of the cross by our Lord. I hope we do read our bible in ‘greater context’ and understand that it is the will of God for us to be healed and truly by His stripes, we can be healed (spiritually and physically).
If you look at the root hebrew word used for healing in the verse he referred to, "rapha", and then cross reference the other verses used, they are all for PHYSICAL not spiritual healing. He's the one interpreting wrong. i know he does these videos with good intentions, but I hate that presents it as if his denominational beliefs are the end all be all and those that dont agree are false. No one has it 100% correct, how much space does he leave for himself or his denomination to be incorrect. I haven't seen it yet.
So true.. I think he's confused according to the scriptures and still wrestling with somethings from his past church... We are supposed to apply the blood of Jesus and his word to our lifes. That's where the power is that's what he died for.. He knew what it would take to save us and what it would take to keep us to make it to heaven.. I will be praying for this brother..🙏
Excellent! I was involved with a charismatic pentecostal church for 15 years. And ALL of this was taught all the time. So many lives were ruined because of the false teachings that you address here. When my wife & I left that church a couple of years ago for a much more doctrinally sound church, we were ask d repeatedly by our former church friends if the new place spoke in tongues. They couldn't get past it. And the lead pastor at the time often preached that if you aren't speaking in tongues, then you need to get saved. Like it was THE evidence of being truly saved. It just got so rediculous. We love those folks. But the error is soooo deep there. Sad. Thank you for what you do here brother Allen.
As far as speaking in tongues is concerned. Three times in the book of Acts it is written that believers recieved the Holy Spirit and the first thing that happened is that they spoke in tongues. The important question is, does God see those three instances as sufficient proof that believers should expect to speak in tongues as the first evidence that they have recieved the Holy Spirit ?
@@robertnieten7259 there is a difference of receiving the Holy Spirit (happens when you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord) and being baptized with the Holy Spirit. When you are baptized with the Spirit, the Spirit falls on you. Oftentimes, this is accompanied by speaking in tongues and prophesying, but not always.
@Josh Gellock Recieving the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are one and the same event. Not once in the book of Acts do we read of believers recieving the Holy Spirit at one point and then being baptized in the Holy Spirit at another time. We do not recieve the Holy Spirit the moment we believe the gospel and accept Jesus as our savior. Being saved is being born again and just as physical birth is the end result of a process so is spiritual rebirth. We recieve the Holy Spirit as the result of believing " into" Christ not just believing in Him, that shows that there is a process involved. Acts 2:38 is that process. In Acts ch.19 when Paul met the disciples he asked them, " Have you recieved the Holy Spirit since you believed"? For him to even ask them that is to prove that one doesn't recieve the Holy Spirit the minute that they believe. When they told Paul that they hadn't even heard that there was a Holy Spirit, Paul asked them, " How then were you baptized"? They said," by Johns' baptism". Paul then told them ," verily John baptized in a baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, to believe on the one to come after him, Jesus Christ"( Acts 19:4). It then says, " When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,And when Paul layed hands on them and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied"( Acts 19: 5,6 ) You see that the disciples believed by what they did and that was to complete their repentance by being water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They then recieved the Holy Spirit by being baptized in the Holy Spirit confirmed by their speaking in tongues and prophesying.
@@robertnieten7259 tell me, when Jesus breathed on the disciples (before the ascension), and said, "receive the Holy Spirit", did they receive it or not?
@Josh Gellock When Jesus breathed on His apostles and said, " Recieve ye the Holy Spirit" they didn't recieve the Holy Spirit at that time because the Holy Spirit would not be poured out until Acts 2 At Pentecost. Remember, in Acts 2 just before the apostles, and the other believers gathered there, there was a rushing mighty wind. The natural reaction whether it be breath blowing in your face or wind is to breath in. The believers breathed in the Holy Spirit. Remember in John ch.3 when the Lord drew a comparison to Nicodemus between birth of the flesh and birth of the Spirit. When a physical baby is removed from the mother the doctor would smack them on the butt and they would breath in and cry alerting all within hearing that a baby had been born. Spiritually a believer leaves the baptismal water and in the process of calling out to the Lord for the Holy Spirit breathes in the Spirit and speaks in " tongues" alerting all within hearing range that a spiritual babe in Christ had been born.
What really hurts is when you talk to one of these people about context and they look at you like "you're just using fancy words....you don't have faith." 🙄 SO frustrating.
Or they say these: you're too "heady", or, "well you thrive on head-knowledge, but I have experience." If you try to present sacred Scripture in its own context, and if you lay everything out clearly and carefully by way of the Holy Spirit, they look at you as big headed or void of faith..... This angers me deeply.
Dear brother, I’m Italian and I attend a Pentecostal church and first of all: We do not believe that we can speak things into existence, that’s just a big lie Second we do not believe that when you get saved you always get healed physically, it can happen but it’s not related to salvation Third we do not believe that every Christian is rich or should be rich, our pastor even condemns the prosperity gospel..another mistake Fourth we *do not* believe that if you don’t speak in tongues you don’t have the Holy Spirit, we believe that the Holy Spirit takes residence within you since the moment you accept Christ, the gift of tongues (which is a real manifestation of God that anybody can experience) is considered like a “more empowering” experience to help you speak out the word of God with boldness..(this concept of boldness btw is repeated multiple times in Acts after the Pentecostal experience of the apostles) Fifth I can tell you that I’ve seen many times pastors laying their hands on people and those people were speaking in tongues, this is not an isolated event happened 2000 years ago, it is still real! *This does not mean btw that very Christian must experience this* Sixth: I’ve been in so many Pentecostal churches and never saw someone casting demons out of somebody else...you may have seen these things with someone like Benny Hinn and other similar “pastors” who guide their service in a way more close to devil spirits, rather than the Spirit of God. Having said this I’m not surprised if in America these things are common, you guys are very revolutionary with pretty much everything..but don’t make confusion not all Christian Pentecostal do and believe such things
Matteo I think the objection we have (I can only speak for myself here) is what exactly is this 'tongue' that the pentecostals speak? Speaking in tongues simply means speaking 'in other languages'. ie French, German. I do not believe that on the day of Pentecost any other languages were spoken than those which existed on earth at that time. If the language you claim to speak is not known by someone on earth right now I am deeply skeptical. Pentecost had a purpose - it was to spread the word to the four corners of the world. I think part of the problem for the pentecostal movement is Jimmy Swaggart. A man who uses tongues like some sort of evidence. He claims it is a language spoken in heaven. His grandson claims it is a future language of man not yet spoken on earth. Very shady and suspicious conduct by these two men.
@@thesolaraquarium Amen! Speaking in tongues is not babbling gibberish. Babbling is easy to imitate and people can give false interpretations(translations). “Heavenly language” or “tongues of angels”is a figure of speech, not literal. Paul is emphasizing that it’s a spiritual gift from God. When we start to look at scripture as literature and properly exegete the text (without adding our own opinions or ideas) it is easier to understand . . So we must understand figurative language and literal language. They teach this stuff in English language arts for a reason lol .
@@Noah-rv9uj I was given the 'gift of tongues' a few decades ago. I was struggling to read a religious book in French, the work of a Saint. I would have to check my french-english dictionary every sentence at least once. It seems that God wanted me to read this book. A few days later I was able to read the book without a dictionary and understand 95% of what was there. To this day I don't use a dictionary - don't even have one in my library anymore. I am able to read French unassisted. I am able to work out the missing 5% from the 95% I understand. It is a gift from God. I have no doubt about that. I always had a working knowledge of French (it is my second language). But until that time I was never able to read it without a dictionary as a helper. Since that time I can. Until now I have never told anyone about this. Only God and I know this. It's personal, as I expect all gifts of God are. When people start declaring in public that they have a gift from God I get skeptical. I only share this to explain that some of us have been given this gift of tongues. I am not alone in this, I am sure.
With all do respect I share some Pentecostal beliefs and they all do not teach like this. I wish Allan Parr would of used the word "some" charismatics. Because not many of us teach in this way. I have a Grandma (RIP) that was a mighty woman of God Pentecostal. Yes she beleived in the healing power of God yet she never taught that we were all supposed to be rich or wealthy. My Grandma had amazing faith that has inspired me to walk with GOD. So please do not lump all Pentecostal charismatics as being the same. Thank you Allan Parr and again i say this with Love and respect which is why i will still continue to listen to you videos
I agree with you . May be it is his personal experience but categorizing all pentecostals and charismatic churches in same way is not right either. Like - just because I heard someone in baptist church preach that satan and jesus were brothers... i cannot say all of them believe that wrong doctrine and say they r false teachers. So we need to watch out for our brothers and sisters in Christ, specially at this time when we need each other the most to stand for the Gospel in Spirit and Truth. Hope you understand this brother Allen, with due respect
When the demons come into my dreams I can just think of Jesus and bound them and I wake up, so I will continue to bound them in the name of Jesus Christ, doesn't it say get behind me devil in the name of Jesus and he will flee?
@Stewart Ross How would you know? You sound bitter and judgmental. I said all do not teach this way. You said "wrong" like you you know every Pentecostal in the World. 😆
@Stewart Ross Why dont you do what Allen says and provide scripture to back-up whatever claims you are trying to make? Otherwise you are just being emotional.
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso Yeah I think So, I think we Can Repent And Turn Back To God during the tribulation period But It will Not Be Easy because we'll Get Killed By The Antichrist. But Have Hope Because as soon as He Killedus, we will Find ourselves Wearing White Robe and will Worship God In His Temple and we will Live In His Presence Forever. AMEN
@Mikael Yashuah DonosoI Know what the 2nd amendment talks about But Brother We Cant Use Weapons To Defend Ourselves. Remember When Peter Trys To Defend Jesus With Sword And He Cut The priest's Servant head and Jesus Says To him 'Put Your Sword Back In Its Space and Then He says Those who use Sword will Die By the sword" So Let Us Be Strong in Jesus. Revelation 13:10, Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso The Devil can't show himself his going to use human. When the BIBLE says that Beast Coming Out Of A Sea. A Sea Represents People/Population of people.
It's sad but many "Christians" need a Bible overhaul. I'm convinced that along with these verses that their understanding of the entire Bible is warped as well.
It's so sad and getting worse. Now they are Reading the Passion version that is nothing more than a man telling people what he thinks the verses really mean using terminology they use which only reinforces the wrong conclusions.
Really Pentecostal and Charasmatic believers do have some traditions or philosophies of man that need to be brought down but so do you guys as well. Every denomination or non denomination thinks they have the Best interpretation of the scriptures but we have a lot of Western Christianity mindsets or should I say strongholds that need to be brought down! When I look at the church in Acts and I look at the church Today, why does it look drastically different? Have you ever asked yourself that? Something is wrong with us!!
For a lot of Christians, I suspect the only experience they have with Holy Writ is what they hear from the pulpit. They have never read it for themselves. Two words: Take. Read.
@@donnaroberts4513 Parrots and lemmings. I consider myself evangelical - though I come from a church that has long ago stopped being evangelical despite being about the *founders* of modern evangelicalism - and I frequently criticize evangelicals for getting it wrong. I've gotten a lot of people mad at me by explaining verses that EvErYbOdY kNoWs MeAnS tHiS but actually mean something completely different, or highlighting verses they choose to ignore because they don't fit their worldview.
No. 4 is the one being stressed so much in a charismatic church I used to attend, but not any of the other points (in that particular church). It was such a stressful period. The people at that church are very nice, but I feel like their love and acceptance is conditional, upon whether we speak in tongues or not. And if we don't, we are considered second-class men/women of God 😢 and that broke my heart
Funny thing - Paul said that those that did NOT speak in tongues were UNINIATED/unlearned/ - making THREE groups of people in 1 cor 14 - the unregenerated - those that spoke in tongues and those that did NOT - so the CLASSIFICATION is BIBLICAL - BUT that is NO excuse for making any claim of CONDITIONAL love based on speaking in tongues or not. I just don't see that you had an actual case - you MAY have realized there was MORE to the GOSPEL than you had - I was that way for maybe 5 years - but eventually the BIBLE and GOD met in UNITY over me and I GOT the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT and LOTS more - BAM!!! I am QUITE sure that they wanted you to have all God wanted you to have - and nothing more. And GOD wanted you to speak in tongues . . . for communion with Him, if nothing more. 1 Cor 14:23 "Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?" "No. 4 is the one being stressed so much in a charismatic church I used to attend, but not any of the other points (in that particular church). It was such a stressful period.

@@paulrobinson9318 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. 1 Corinthians 14:6-12
It's ALL about Jesus. The Holy Spirit ALWAYS points to Jesus. It is not about the Holy Spirit being greater than Jesus. The Holy Spirit is also God, but He points to Jesus. It is all about salvation through Jesus Christ. Our focus is to be on Jesus.
Once you realize each member of the Godhead is equal - it’s better, because you don’t lower your perception of the One you thought was highest of the Three, you raise the ones you felt were lower. If you think well I thought the Son was the best member of the trinity because just how good He is, then you can think, well they’re equal so how good must the Father be! Or vis-versa. We are actually saved by the Spirit through belief in Jesus. Titus 3:5-7 states, “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
@@user-bm4xd4ir5x I agree but it was Jesus who sent the Holy Spirit of God to dwell in us. He knows how fallen this world is and He knows the power we need to get through it. Too many believers, call out Abba Father, love Jesus, but are powerless. I pray we don't put emphasis on one or the other but just as the GodHead work ensync we do the same to the glory of God by carrying out the great commission.
@@charmainwilliams-farrar2559 Why do we need supernatural power to "get through it"? I am born again I have Christ in me, if I don't have some supernatural gift, I am happy just to be a child of God. I don't doubt there are some saved pentecostals but I do think they focus too much on the supernatural. I know family members who follow heretical teachings just because the preacher is charismatic, I think that is clearly dangerous.
@@Romans8-9 you ask why do we need the Holy Spirit. That's a question for Jesus. He said the Holy Spirit was going to comfort us, teach us, convict us, and guide us into all truth. Jesus also said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. So if you think you know better than Jesus about the need for the Holy Spirit than I don't know what to say. Either way, May God bless you.
This!!! God has been revealing teachings that I have readily accepted and even taught....yes yes yes! After praying, fasting, "declaring", speaking, rebuking etc for nearly a decade over different physical ailments...I've came to the realization (against popular belief in modern churches) that it is not always GOD'S will to heal our bodies, however, it is ALWAYS His will that we would KNOW Him as Lord & Savior & not perish spiritually.
I’m grateful for this teaching. I left a church this past year that quotes at least 4 of theses scriptures out of context. I had no idea the depth of error, as I have quoted them out of context also. I thank God for His revelation through your vessel of knowledge. Blessings
Luke 10:19 does say we “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” We do have authority over demonic spirits, just not authority to create our own selfish world and call things into existence. Correct me if I'm wrong (on the former part rather than the latter)
Yup the Apostles, but I misunderstood it wasn't the 12 it was the 70 Jesus appointed after the 12. 🙏 as I step out in faith may I remain able and ready for the Lord to correct my theology concerning His truth, that I may walk in that freedom He wants me to have when I know the truth as He intended to be received. ✝️
@@heresthadude1080 yes he was. Sorry. Philip wasn't the best example for this conversation. Another thing to consider is that God used a variety of people throughout the old testament to do miraculous things as well. I think to say the gifts went out with the apostles or was only designated to the apostle is hard to prove to all of the people who have personally experienced miracles over time as well as the number of people God used throughout the historic narrative we have in the bible. Also when Paul writes Corinthians he is not writing to apostles but the Corinthian church which is evidenced to already have several of the gifts of the Spirit in function. I've seen people function in the gift of healing in today's time. Doesn't mean they can go to the hospital and heal everybody but rather the gifts are used in the time and place that God sees fit.
Wow this was a great breakdown of exactly how we don’t realize what’s happening in those largely spiritual moments! I wasn’t raised in church and so when I finally did begin my journey, I constantly tested word against word!!! This is a great reminder to lead others to do the same! Thanks from Pastor E in Az!
I came out of the Pentecostal church after diligently praying to God and asking Him to reveal himself to me. Since then I have seen the bible in a whole new light! Acts 19 was a passage I struggled with a little and this video helped me sooooooo much on getting that clarified. Thank you Allen and God bless you brother for speaking truth bravely and boldly!!
The one that's taken out of context that drives me the most crazy is touch not God's anointed.....so you can not question anything they say which is so dangerous.

I went to a Pentecostal church when I was young. You are certainly right about that wrong doctrine. Holy moly!! I am so thankful for the people who know the Lord, that were able to explain the truth to me. I was quite young when I got saved. I was in my teen years when the truth about the Pentecostal doctrine was explained to me.

@@islamdefenderyahya4621 Like all unbelievers, you mishandle the Word of God, and you take scripture out of context. Christians believe the Divinity of God exists in 3 Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That’s how Jesus can say to My God and your God. In fact, in Hebrews 1:13, God is quoted as saying, “The Lord says to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Who do you think which Lord the Lord is speaking to? Since you are in John, chapter 20, when Thomas placed his hands into the wounds of Jesus, he stated in verse 28, “My Lord and my God.” Don’t you think Jesus would have corrected him if that statement wasn’t true? You are mishandling the Word of God with Matthew 15:9. Jesus is quoting Isaiah 29:13: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. If anything, Jesus is expecting worship - but the right way. Also, there are numerous places where Jesus accepts worship: Matthew 8:2 Matthew 9:18 Matthew 15:25 Matthew 20:20 Matthew 28:9 John 9:38 Hebrews 1:6 The Apostle John said: Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58 The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because the “I AM” referred back to Exodus 3:14 where Moses asked God what His name was - “I AM WHO I AM” was the answer. Surely you can see where Jesus is saying He is God. Also, only God raises people from the dead. Read John, Chapter 11 to see where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. If you like, I can provide more Scripture references that show where Jesus is God.
Thank you for speaking the truth. I have relatives and friends who are into this stuff and don't bother to read the scripture in context. You are a blessing to me and I'm sure many others!
I belong to an Assemblies of God church (Pentecostal) and NONE of these verses are taught in the false way as described here! Praise Jesus! John 16:33 pretty much tells us that life will be hard and tough, which is why we need Jesus to be with us. The idea that we have God’s power is absurd. If we get healed, it’s His power, not ours. Those false healing pastors, if they have that gift, go to the cancer ward in a Children’s hospital and get to work....
I’m going to be an AG minister and yes these false teachers take everything out of context. To them Jesus isn’t enough. They want the Jesus plus gospel.
Exactly! I am a member of the Church Of God, and this guy is TOTALLY WRONG about what we teach. I wonder if he's ever even been in a Pentecostal church. He doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, lumping Pentecostals in with the WoF movement.
Everything he just explained here is exactly why I am not a Pentecostal anymore and I left the word of faith movement. Problem is I don't know who to listen to anymore except for pastor Parr of course. This man has saved me from leaving Christianity all together because of his teachings I can still cling
My opinion of the verses as a Pentecostal 1. Abram was called father of many nations by other people becauae God decreed it to be so, even before it happened. So all the people calling abram "abraham" did so because God said it. Thats the context of its use today. If God said its true, speak it. Having HIS words on our mouth daily, thats what it is. 2. We are healed. Be it so according to your faith. The spiritual healing means that the physical is healed as well. We are spirits first, then fleshy. But even if its only spiritual, believing God for anything is never wrong 3. You are right, but nothing is wrong with using this verse or any verse in prayer. Ask and you shall receive. I get your point here tho. Know that the new covenant has better promises for us. So if its promised in the old, its available now too. 4. Speaking of tongues is evidence of being baptized in the holy spirit. Not having the holy spirit. The spirit was with many before christ and its obvious. Every true believer has the holy spirit, but the baptism is needed still. 5. We can cast out demons. Terminology doesnt matter, they must leave in jesus name. Literally nothing wrong with saying "i bind you in jesus name". Its effective for deliverance. Have your own convictions and take everything taught with prayer to God and study of other scriptures. God bless!
Very well said. Sometimes we as Christians live way beneath what God intended because we’re so busy trying to explain away the power we were meant to walk in as born-again people. Let’s not take the Word out of context of course. AND let’s not bring the Word down to our low level of experience either. Believe the Word till your experience rises to line up with the Word!
Number 4 Most people speaking in tongues don’t know the hell there are taking about. It is pure vain babbling making foolish noises period. Ok they are speaking in tongues where is the interpreter?
I am currently attending a pentecostal church and I have observed our pastors and elders doing these a lot. I am also assigned to teach/preach sometimes and I’m a woman, but no I am not yet a pastor though our church allows women as Senior pastors. We even have a branch church which is led by two unmarried women. We believe the full gospel but these other things like in the video, we are also doing it. Now I’m starting to understand what the bible really is saying, what God really wants and designed for His church and your video is a big help. Though I don’t think I can make a difference in our church now, coz it’s already big. I’m planning to move to a more bible based church where I can grow in the truth. I hope anyone reading this can help me pray for God to lead me to the right church. And I also pray that christians like me who were being led in a different direction will also be awaken and see the truth. And thank you so much for your ministry brother Allen Parr. May God continually bless you and your family. Your beautiful ministry have reached me here in the Philippines. Thank you. Thank you for obeying God’s call in your life.
I haven't spoken in tongues. Most of the time, I know that I still have the Holy Spirit, but sometimes the devil makes me doubt it. I'm glad to know that my mother and brothers are right. I still have the Holy Spirit without speaking in tongues
With all due respect pastor, charismatic and pentecostal theology is not the same as prosperity gospel or the word of faith movement (unless you argue for neo-charismatic movement), but pentecostal and charismatic emphasizes on spirit baptism and spiritual gifts, not prosperity gospel. That aside, good video!
Thank you for saying that. I just wrote a comment saying the same thing. It makes me so angry when people accuse Pentecostals of things we don't do. They have us mixed up with other denominations.
I appreciate hearing this as a pastor. I’ve been preaching on these topics for several months now as these misinterpretations have been infiltrating the Church I pastor, causing much confusion. Living in the Dallas area folks have been listening to Curry Blake out of Plano, TX who heads up the John G. Lake ministries. Bless you for you brief explanation. There are teachings from JGL ministries on how to refute the clear interpretation of scripture and calls what we’re doing to correct these errors as “a religious spirit.” Keep honoring the Lord with your channel as this is a very serious issue plaguing the church today. Would love to chat about these things, Lord willing. May the Lord bless your work of faith.
Amen! I used to think I was condemned because I had not spoken in tongues yet. It's been 7 years since I was baptized, and I still have yet to speak in tongues.
You are alright. I've been believing in Jesus for over 25yrs, attended an Assemblies of God church for over 17yrs and i don't speak in tongues, or prophesy, or, get the shakes. I stopped wondering what was wrong with me a very very long time ago❤
That had nothing to do with your denomination though. It was part of God’s will. God does not heal everyone. If we’re goin by a denomination, my Pentecostal pastor told the congregation that. Grateful your grandma was healed, but understand that it had nothing to do with your denomination 🙏🏾
@@OrondeB yes obviously it requires our faith to know by His stripes we are healed and we are only healed because he loves us. I understand life happens and fallen creation is rough but I know that the closer you are to Christ the healthier your life can and should be.
This isnt a bible verse, but I see many people, popular and not, state that God gave them that position that they always wanted, or God has given me all this money and talents. The devil isnt just horns and fire. He can be disguised as everything you ever desired. Deciet and pride is what consumes people these days and then confuse the fraud with the true King.
Exactly. The fall of man was all because Adam and Eve desired wisdom and power - both on the surface good things - but received it by compromising God's commands and brought death and sin into humanity.
My pastor once said 'the devil can give you scholarship' and it's not a lie. Anything that appears to be good you've acquired that separates/distances you from God, should be investigated. The bible says the devil sometimes appears as an angel of light.
@Emmanè Butter In this world, if you cant walk in humility and be as selfless as possible, its really hard to say that wealth and success is for God. Its noth about how much you make, its about how much you keep. Its not about how people see you, its how you promote yourselfs versus others. The bible doesnt say its hard for a rich man to get into heavan for no reason. Its not impossible, just hard. They have to walk in humility and beable to resist pride and greed for more. Satan is willing to give you everything you want in exchange for your attention away from God, or basically your soul. People think selling your soul is just for music industry or fame. It can be anything. And dont take this outta context. Im not attacking, just partially agreeing. The Lord can bless us with many riches but its also our job to interpret if its from him or the Destroyer.
True, the devil will disguise in anything that's in this world. There are times where even Christians can be used to lead others astray. So we always need to seek what God is saying to us through the Bible.
Good stuff!!! I have been taught most of these! I’ve been in a season of growing away from misinterpretations of scripture. This video confirms my new understandings. Thanks for staying true to the word!!! So blessed by your channel. 🌟
I appreciate your gifted way of pointing out the false teaching of some of these groups. As a Bible teacher, I have corrected these same Bible verses while going verse by verse through the Bible. We must point out the false interpretations of hyper Charismatics as well as the false interpretations of the groups that think God has ceased in giving the gifts of the Spirit to His Church.
Speaking in tongues was not 1 isolated incident there are other referenced events other than the upper room. Paul even writes in 1 Corinthians 14:39 "Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues." Not ever believer can speaks in tongues, but there are some that do.
As much as I love my brothers and sisters in the Assemblies of God, I believe Allen is right that the Bible never stipulates that speaking in tongues is a requirement for genuine salvation.
@@russellsmith4528 I’ve gone to pentecostal churches my whole life, especially AG, and have never gone to one that believes you must speak in tongues to be saved.
Speaking is tongues oh you mean vain babbling and saying things that don’t make sense. People need to go back and read Corinthians 14 . Tongues are languages. I could never understand Jimmy Swaggert and his son alway speaking in tongues saying things that makes no sense. They cannot even interpret the Bible correctly.
I found this channel by accident too , as someone else said in the comments. I'm glad I did. I've learned a lot about these verses and their true meanings. I was mixed up in all of this 25 years ago and left the church and turned my back on God because the church were continually telling us to tithe and we didnt know it wasnt biblical and we were poor as church mice. We'd just got married and didnt even have food in the cupboards. Eventually, it got to us which lead to divorce and physical illness for both of us and 15 years in the darkness. Thankfully, God never let me go. He drew me back to Him through the most unexpected ways. This pandemic has been an intense learning experience. Ive heard people in the church im at now misuse these verses and im trying to get the message across in any way i can to them that they need to see them in their proper context, like I did. Thanks for the breakdown of the meaning of these verses.
Thankyou brother for clearing all this up. I have trouble understanding context in the bible. You have helped me out alot. God bless you, your family and your ministry in Jesus's name amen
S.T.O.P = S stands for Situation? | T stands for Type of Literature | O stands for Object | P stands for Prescriptive or descriptive | STOP and study the Bible - in context. God bless! Btw, good video Alan!
My husband and I have been through some difficult times, even though looking back some better decision makin would have ceased some hard times, but for the most part somethings we dealt with where out of our control, we prayed together, we tithed , and strongly believed most of everything you talked about in this video, needless to say our understanding was off and we just thought that maybe we weren't good Christians or maybe because we didn't speak in tongues we weren't really saved, but over the past 10 years we've learned to know better, awesome video, i hope people will except this truth, trust me it will stop a lot of headache and frustration!!
Every Christian has to come out of Egypt, cross the Red sea, then take the Wilderness Journey to reach the edge of the Promised Land. Before the LORD takes him into the Promised Land, he must be circumcised, and then cross the river Jorden, and be ready to conquer the first enemy stronghold, Jericho. 1Cor.10 Our Promised Land is not the land of Canaan, but the Heavenly Places (occupied by the Principalities and Powers). Eph.3:10 ; 2:6 So Paul said, our enemies are Principalities and Powers, .......Eph.6:12
Thank you so much for this. I've heard these scriptures taken out of context my whole life. I never fully understood them. I just accepted what I was told by others. The problem is...they just don't work in the way they are being incorrectly taught. I'll listen to this teaching again. I'd love to share and may at some point. I may lose friends and family over it, but I absolutely have to agree with you. So, thanks again.
My only feedback is that if you suggest something is wrong or taken out of context, then suggest the alternative. Similarly to your correction on the Holy Spirit indwelling a believer.
The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHERS teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher. Abraham is our father and what God did to him is what we should expect God to do to us. Galatians 3:7, says, Know that if you are of faith, you are a child of Abraham
@@binoalab My brother in Christ, after reading your comment it seems quite close to bearing false witness. I sincerely pray that that was not your intention. You have every right to disagree with his interpretations, but you should do so in kindness and in love. With that said, the word of God does say in Proverbs 4:7 "In all thy getting, get understanding". We are also commanded in (2 Timothy 2:15) to study his word and rightly divide his truth. So context is absolutely essential. No message can mean something different today than what it was originally intended by the author and how that message would have been understood by the audience at that time. Yes, we can apply the eternal principles of God's word to our present circumstances (see 2 Timothy 3:16). But the verses mentioned in the video were speaking to a very specific audience. For example, consider today's cultural environment, I can speak to a friend and say.. "That's my dog..my buddy". Everyone today would understand that I was using a term of endearment. However, 100 years from now the slang "dog" may no longer be in use. But it would be incorrect for that future audience to assume that I was calling my friend a 4 legged animal. As for your assertion that since we are children of Abraham, we can expect God to do the same for us...Please support that conclusion from the text itself rather than your personally added meaning. Otherwise, that is eisegesis.
Great teaching here. Love the way you explain this. We need to hear more about how much these 'churches' take the Bible out of context. Thanks for sharing your information with us.
Sir, love what you do but please be careful of generalizing a body of believers. Not all Charismatics and Pentecostals utilize those particular scriptures in that manner or lack the proper contextual understanding of those scriptures.
Then why stay at a prosperity gospel church? Leaving the one I went to was the best decision ever. They think God is supposed to be like an ATM machine.
@@paulv1973 I'm not understanding you line of questioning. Not every Pentacostal or Charismatics are foundationally prosperity churches. Generalizing isn't the answer either. That's what this video. It generalized a group of believers, when there are a spectrum of believers in denomination that don't believe that way.
@@Truthtella Exactly. I'm in Australia. And most of our Pentecostal Churches are basically Evangelical. We are conservative. Though, on my Churches Statement of Faith; it does say (the "only" initial evidence.....). Which I don't agree with.
well, they might not have all of this teachings, maybe just some of them, some more than others, for example in my church nobody forces you to speak in tongues but verses are taken out of context here and there, that doesn't excuse that wrong teachings are happening. Thats why we must discern everything.
Thank you, Allen! I was once fooled by the Pentecostal teaching that the true evidence of the Holy Spirit is thru speaking in tongues. I am so blessed God has delivered me from these destructive teachings and He set me free from ignorance of the Word.
God bless! I’m Pentecostal/evangelical but that’s not a Pentecostal teaching, whatever Pentecostal church or person taught you that was wrong. There are wrong/confused people in every denomination. It’s better to just read the Bible ourselves and if God wishes to give you the gift of speaking in tongues then that is His decision! God bless❤️
I haven't heard that in the UPC but there is that teaching commonly from some megachurch quack-preachers. There are also those that believe they can use the "power of faith" to control weather.
The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHERS teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher.

@@forerunnerforjesus1291 Jesus never used scripture to heal. He simply took authority and said a few words. Once he just said go and the demon left. So I agree about the Isaiah scripture. Isaiah is a prophecy about Jesus dying for our sins. I believe if there was people making videos to equipp believers instead of constantly devouring each other over words or even worse thelogy.We are all the body of Christ and we all. have are own part to play. Jesus said the world will hate you if it hates me. So when I see religous people attacking other believers just as the religious people attacked and hated Jesus because he healed the sick and cast out demons, and miracles happened. Makes me want to follow the most hated by the world.
I agree with most of these. What I disagree with is the authority that is in the words you speak. We are carriers of the Holy Spirit and the spirit can work on our behalf. Mark 11:23 says, "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says". Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit". The Holy Spirit also operates through the power of the tongue when casting out demons. Obviously we can't speak something into existence but it seems to me there is power in the tongue to have physical affects.
When GOD speaks, it is done. So it must be GOD that speaks through a Man, then it is done. It is not positive speech, or confessing our godly desires before GOD. Hence, Mk.11:23 was that which Paul claimed to mean 'CHRIST speaking in him'. 2Cor.13:3-5 Whatsoever things CHRIST speaks forth, these will come to pass. CHRIST is the Creator of all things NEW. 2Cor.5:17-18 ; Matt.24:35
@@ngdavid3925 Definitely, it's not to say we have the power to create and bring something into existence. It's more about not giving the devil a chance to use our words against us. When we speak evil the devil will answer what you have spoken by making it happen but when you speak life your giving God the opportunity to show himself in your life. I wish allen would elaborate more instead of just rushing.
@@shio_sakaki_the_legend392 I understand what you are trying to convey. What you mean is 'words of Righteousness' and JESUS taught about it. Matt.12:32-37 However, do not confuse it with 'the words of Faith'. Mk.11:22-24 'Say it and have it' We were discussing on 'the words of Faith'. What I was trying to convey was that 'the words of Faith' cannot be plucked from the thin air. These words of Faith must come directly from GOD to our spirit. Then we say it and have it.
I use to believe this to. However I’ve recently came to learn the truth! There is power in the tongue meaning the way you talk to others could hurt or lift someone up. But to Name it and Claim is such a false idea of what the scriptures meant! Not only that It’s replacing God to say if you put it out there then God will respond. You could pray silently in your mind or any way of communication with God & guess what if it aligns with his will or is he please to he will give you it or Not. This is so hurtful to the churches because it make people who are ill or sick that’s there something wrong with them or they don’t have enough faith because they are being healed even though they are using all the authority of words. Also a lot of pagan religions & new age practice that so I’d be careful of that one..
@@briannamallory5067 Well I don't want to be so arrogant as to believe I could not be wrong. In your understanding though, how do you explain healings and the casting out of demons? I understand not everyone believes the holy spirit operates though us this way anymore so I will just refer to the early church. Did they not speak and people were healed? Did they not command demons to leave the body in which they inhabited? Also, how do you explain Mark 11:23?
I'm a born again Christian, and that's why I ask for wisdom, and study God's word for myself, I feel platform's like this can be better use to bring delivery to so many people that are hurting today than talking about churches and religious beliefs, that's just my 2cents
Habakkuk 2:2 "write the vision and make it plain" that is so out of context the way people preach it. it's not your vision, it's the vision he gave to Habakkuk about judgement and he wanted people to carry it on to let them know what was to come
Many Christians that I've talked to are bored. They say things like "I cant evangelize like others and other than that, theres nothing to do". We were made to serve, which is why Christian's lose some to islam. They keep them busy and devout through works. We have to encourage eachother to study and know scripture.
This video has changed the way I look at everything. I feel betrayed by my leaders in a sense. I truly don’t know what to do with these feelings but I thank you sir!!
Toya 2Free hey dear. I felt the same way when God had to put me out of the false church because I wouldn't have left probably. He had to heal me and teach me according to His word. Reach out if you need to talk about it. Praying for you dear
Great great content!!! Love the video brother Allen! Context is key and is king! Another scripture is Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11 which is used so many times and can be taken out of context too! Lets read our word to the fullest and isolating scriptures
@@gleaningpentecostalsofbalt2082 Hello. I subscribe to Allen's channel. I follow Christ. I have studied all the scriptures concerning this topic and I've experienced first hand the teaching of "speaking in tongues as evidence of having The Holy Spirit." I don't agree with said teaching. I do however agree with the content presented in this video. That's my personal conviction on the matter. We can respectfully agree to disagree on this topic. Blessings 🌿
@@gleaningpentecostalsofbalt2082 Thank you, but no thank you. I don't believe that "experience" is necessary for salvation. You have a blessed day as well 🕊
Thank you so much for making this video. I grew up charismatic and attended a Pentecostal Holiness church growing up. All of these verses we used in the exact way you described. I was finally ministered to after a couple years of deep fellowship with a Pastor and his wife that ministered to the military and their families. I'm hoping now that God will use me to witness to my family and maybe I can work up the courage to share this video with them. I don't want to scare them away or make them feel like I'm better then them. After all, I can't speak ill against "God's anointed."
Thank you for dealing with that 1st scripture from the get go....I was in a church that did exactly that...when the things "I spoke into being" did not take place and my world fell apart, I was so confused and I blamed God and my faith was shaken. By God's Grace, He has been with me every step of the way. I still have friends tell me, my life is the way it is because "I don;t speak the things into my life"...it still hurts. Thank you for teaching Truth.
The Berean Christians checked out for themselves whenever Paul preached to them and Paul commended them for doing so . It is our responsibility to develop our relationship with the Lord .Thats why its a personal relationship . Read His word and learn from Him by the Holy Spirit (Our Teacher) . a Blessed word Alan . Praise God.
Yes, you are 💯 right, these Pentecostals, Charismatics, etc, take so many verses out of context and mislead. they'll say whatever they feel. So it is advisible to pray and Study word by word and seek the Lord's l help to understand, comprehend and discern.
I absolutely love this channel. Thank You Pastor Parr for explaining the scriptures of the Bible. I always look forward to your videos. I have learned so much from you. God bless you.
I became saved in 1984. Unfortunately I was taught if you didn't speak in tongues you were not saved. It took years for me to learn that this is not sound doctrine. I have not idea who this brother but just in the two days I have consistently listened to him he is correct. I thank him.
WOW thank you Man of God for enlightening me that is Exactly how was taught on all of these scriptures. My God so Much has been taught INACCURATELY!!!!!!!!
The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHERS teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher.

My boyfriends family is 100% Pentecostal and when I try to point things out to them they get very defensive . I even had a talk w the pastors wife and then the next Sunday they had a sermon talking about speaking in tongues and then she tried to get me to the altar so the pastor could lay hands on me so I guess I could speak but I didn’t go because it felt forced and I know God would not want to force anything . Anywho this has been a top question for me , thank you for clarifying !
God bless! That’s very strange, I’m Pentecostal/evangelical I go to Church of God of the Prophecy and stuff like that is clearly wrong, I just hope you don’t think we are all like that or believe those things, there are false teachers and prophets and people who are in the wrong in every denomination of Christianity! God bless and good thing you listen to that gut feeling THAT could’ve been discernment/the Holy Spirit.❤️❤️❤️
@@jenellemelendez2521 yes my discernment kicks in heavy everytime I hear his family talk about certain biblical things . Always turning to the Bible for clarification. Thank you for letting me know because I get worried for them . I’m glad to hear not all Pentecostal think the same. Do you believe in the trinity? And baptism HAS to be in Jesus’ name only?
To be honest, those false teachings by charismatic preachers depressed me, because I believed those teachings but never saw the manifestation of my faith in them. I believed the Word of God so wrongly. At some point I thought God hated me because even though I was praying with His "word", it never manifested the way I interpreted it. Now I know why. BTW, *new sub* ❤
Sorry sister, everyone has been through that. But the word of God is living. When it comes to your spirit, it carries some form of power. I also got so many bad results until the understanding came to me one day, the bible says, you have been given a measure of faith. Given not you should have, you have been given. Am telling, the faith I had when God healed my GERD, food intolerances and ulcers ,I knew this wasn't me because the word of God is living. It is that powerful , I saw my self being continuously motivated to believe that I was healed even when I had symptoms and pain but I never changed my confession until the manifestation came eventually.. Now I am very healthy, did some tests and the doctor was like wow, and yet just a few months ago I hated my life and all medications just couldn't help much. Remember, faith is the substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of the things not seen. You want to get something but you cannot see the evidence, again it's not by our might or strength. That's why we need his strength, that's why the Bible says his strength shines in our weakness. Remember this verse, *Christ is the author and finisher of our faith*. When you come to that revelation, you will realize that it's nothing about you but everything about him... God bless you sis, ask for understanding, don't ask for anything now but ask understanding and he will help you understand.... that's what we all need, not us to interpret things our way, the spirit is there for a reason that's why Christ had to ascend so that we might receive the helper the one who will teach us all things....I WONT SAY MORE BUT TALK TO THE SPIRIT , YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW HE WILL RESPOND TO YOU
Wow! Just, WOW! I seen physical healings when believers COMMANDED backs to be straightened, legs to extend, etc. It is now impossible for me to believe their words did not carry authority. Have also been through deliverance and watched others get delivered. Heard the masculine voice of a demon speak through a woman, then watched a female deliverance minister tell the demon to set down and shut up, in the name of Jesus. Guess what! The person that had that demon immediately went to the ground and cowered in fear. But more importantly, the demon in that woman OBEYED, feared and caused the woman to cower. Many, many more examples could I give. The basic takeaway heard from the teaching in this video is: you are a powerless weakling of a christian. You are only allowed to love and that's as far as it goes. Exercise any power and authority that you THINK God MAY have given you and you are crossing a line that you have no right to cross. So, go sit in the corner, zip your lip and don't even think about fighting against the kingdom of darkness because you are forbidden. Only God Has that right. You know, that's EXACTLY what satan would want a True Follower of Christ to believe. What happened to Luke 10:19 where we have been given all power over the enemy? What happened to "ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Acts 1:8. Last time I checked 1 Corinthians 4:20, the kingdom of God comes not in word, but in power. This video attempts to dismantle that power from every angle. As a child of God, the Word of God tells you who you are, what rights you have and that you are AUTHORIZED by God to EXERCISE those rights. Right off the bat, the devil will start discrediting your identity. It is up to each of you individually to decide on who is correct - God or satan? I, for one, choose not to run around in a pink tutu, wielding a foam sword, calling myself a soldier for Christ. The battle has gotten too intense for that, folks. Don't be deceived!
@Floppy Nation Hope I'm not just preaching to the choir here... If we just remained silent, we would be defenseless and satan knows this. We are NOT to give opportunity to the devil (Ephesians 4:27) The heavens and earth were spoken into existense and held together by the Words that God spoke. Psalm 33:6-9. We are made in the image and likeness of God. Gen 1:26-27. Our words have power LIKE God, but NOT EQUAL to God in strength. Jesus said we can move mountains and bring things to pass (that we SAY), if we will believe and continue to speak them. Mark 11:22-24. Jesus says if any two will touch and agree on anything they ASK (speak), it shall be done for us by the Father. Mathew 18:18, but it has to be in line with His Character/Word, because the Father doesn't do things that are against His Word. The above then begs the question, If we touch and agree (speak) on what God has already said in His Word, doesn't that make two of us (us and God)? Ask and it shall be given. How do we request God to give us (fill us with) His Holy Spirit? We ask. Luke 11:9-13. Our tongue has Power of life and death. Proverbs 18:21. Jesus was revealed to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8. And when He returns, He will strike down the nations with a Sword from his mouth (His Words) Rev 19:15. We can receive that same power to team up with Jesus (although He is more than capable by Himself) to beat back and destroy the kingdom of darkness Acts 1:8 Ask God to give you His Spirit. After He does, you will know it and you will have received power. This power allows us to overcome ALL of the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19. We read God's Word and repeat (speak) what His Word says about us (I'm more than a conqueror through Christ, God has given me All power over the enemy). We repeat (speak) what He has said about the kingdom of darkness (he and his kingdom are already defeated Colossians 2:15, Rev 12:9). God will point you to more scriptures He wants you to speak, if you'll ask. God put His Words in Jeremiah's mouth in Jeremiah 1:9. There should be no reason why a soldier for Christ can't pray out loud, "God, fill my mouth with Your Words that You want me to speak to your sons and daughters. God, fill my mouth with Your Words that You want me to speak against every agent of darkness." Does the devil believe in the power of words? You'd better believe that he does. He is always trying snatch the Words of the kingdom of God from those that don't immediately understand them (Mathew 13:19.) Why? Because if he left those words these individuals alone with those words long enough, they just might perceive what those words mean, pick them up and apply them against his kingdom, like a Sword. That would bring satan some real pain, destruction and defeat. But understand, He's not going to take that idly, setting down in a corner and keeping his mouth shut. He will fight back, so we always have to cling to God while we are doing this. We are in a fight between the Kingdom of Light and kingdom of darkness. WE ARE THE THING THAT IS BEING FOUGHT FOR. It's time to team up with God and reclaim the territory that the devil stole. We can do this by reinforcing (speaking forth) His Word. Don't let another person's voice tell you that you don't have this right. That is the voice of an enemy. Know the Voice of the Lord and follow Him. John 10:27. The above is akin to Jesus giving us the keys to a steamroller to roll over Satan's kingdom. But the question is, will we place the keys in the ignition, put the vehicle in gear and drive forward? Or will we bury those keys (His Words) in the ground and walk away? 🔑 🔑 🔑
Well, I just spent 5 minutes I can’t get back, responding to this ridiculous video teaching, only to find your response and realize I could have just deferred to what you shared. Well said - clearly you are guided into all truths by the same power who resurrected Christ from death. It’s as though guys like this believe Jesus came to this earth, not to demonstrate how we are to live, the power and authority we have, but simply to tease us and keep us from these same miracles. And, when pastors say “Yes God heals, but not everyone” that’s essentially saying His word is a lie, where it says “He is no respecter of persons”. It is truly baffling how people choose to read the word with their own intellect and understanding (as the word clearly says not to do), instead of allowing Holy Spirit to open their eyes and hearts to receive. Sadly, it’s robbing people of a blessed life, keeping them from learning the truth just as Satan intended, and is as destructive as the “Grace doctrine” that teaches people they are saved no matter what they do or how they live.
Very well taught I must say! And that losing and binding, wow I did not know it to be taught like that. I just checked out a couple commentaries to confirm what you were saying and that is so true! Thank God this has been clarified to me that it wasn’t authority given to the 12 and as you said it’s for the behaviour in the church, meaning forbidding and permitting so grateful for this revelation because for years I believed it to be the other way and I don’t wanna say that I was given up on the word but things that were being so called find it in my life we’re still taking place! And although the Lord shown me characters about myself in these times that had to be changed or had to be recognized and confessed to him for a change to be brought about I didn’t even realize it was him showing me the things he was going to permit and the things he was forbidding in myself being a part of His body, the church! HALLELUJAH praise Jehovah God for revelation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good job Brother 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
“That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were sick. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”” Matthew 8:16-17 If Isaiah 53 doesn’t not speak about physical healing too, why Matthew said it does?
Hey BEAT family! This is a very important video for two reasons. First, I want you to be well aware of these verses when you hear them being taken out of context and being misused thus leading many Christians astray. I hope you will not be led astray by these verses and certain members in these churches. Second, I want this to be a lesson on CORRECT Biblical interpretation so that you are rightly dividing the word of God. Let me know below if you have any other questions and what your understanding of these verses have been. Also, let me know of some other verses that you are confused about so that I can address those in a future video. Enjoy!

*I LOVE THIS ANALOGY*
When *GOD* wanted to create fish, *HE* spoke to the sea.
When *GOD* wanted to create trees, *HE* spoke to the earth.
But when *GOD* wanted to create man, *HE* turned to Himself.
Then *GOD* said: "Let us make man in our image and in our likeness".
Note:
If you take a *fish* out of *the water* it will die; and when you remove a *tree* from *soil*, it will also die.
Likewise, when man is disconnected from *GOD*, he dies.

The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHER, Allen Parr's teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher. Abraham is our father and what God did to him is what we should expect God to do to us. Galatians 3:7, says, Know that if you are of faith, you are a child of Abraham - If you follow this man, he will lead you to hell, study the Bible for yourself and claim everything in it for you. False teachers start well, but once they have enough following, they lead you down to hell.
@@binoalab I agree with you that believers in Christ are children of Abraham. But when you say, whatever God did to Abraham, he will do to us, it becomes very very problematic:
1. No scripture says whatever God did to Abraham will be done to us
2. According to your reasoning, every believer should from day of conversion leave their family and go over to Canaan, be barren, live up to 90 years for the men, 75 years for the women before they have their one and only Biological child. And I can go on to show the impossibilities that refute your claim.
Is there a blessing of Abraham that is ours? Yes, there is. According to Romans 5:1, which is a conclusion of the argument set forth first of all in the last verses of Romans 4, that blessing is JUSTIFICATION, Period! And no one can be more blessed than whoever has been justified because of their faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.
God bless you Bro and God bless us, all members of his Church by faith in Christ as we grow in the knowledge of the faith we proclaim.

Thank God indeed! 🙏
Then why are you still a pentecostal!?
When you look at the history of Christianity, it’s been a battle of many theologies for the longest. I don’t believe any man has the perfect interpretation and we all fall susceptible to taking something out of context at any time. Some worse than others, sure, but I hope Jesus has mercy on us all for our shortcomings when it comes to understanding this complicated world we live in.
There's a lot of stuff that divides Christians that God cares a lot less about than we do
*May the Blood of Jesus cover each mind and may the Holy Spirit lead each and every person who watches this video into TRUTH, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, amen*
That's why we need the holyspirit to guide us, the bible you can do nothing..... Man at his best is vanity....... Understanding is primarily by the spirit not our theology.. That's why we have many doctrines, remember when Christ was leaving, he said and I will send you a helper who will teach you all things.. Let the holy spirit be the teacher and as the bible says, *..... The spirit searches that deep things of God and reveals them to men*.
Theres more error in thinking that you are 100% right on verses like his #5, the binding and loosing verse, then there is a mistake in leaving it open to interpretations such as it possibly being useful in performing deliverance... which, the binding and loosing is very useful in deliverance ministry and it has saved my hide before.
What I am saying is, acting like you know it all is a mistake, especially on verses that are clearly open for interpretations like the one I mentioned above.
No need to start a battle by accusing people of false doctrine over verses like that. It seems more damaging to the church as a whole then edifying.
Call people out for important false doctrines not minor ones that either side might actually be correct on.. not verses where, who knows what the best interpretation with 100% assuredy besides Christ? Dont start drama over stuff like that by accusing people of false doctrine. Which is by all accounts a major claim to make against another believer and can become a down right insult if your heart is in the wrong place and your just trying to win a bible battle for your particular movements position.
Only the Holy Spirit can truly teach you. Please spend time learning, else you will fall for any teaching. Romans 15:4: teaches that whatever is written in the Bible is for us to learn for our comfort and hope. It is not for section one or two only
I grew up in a community with two Pentecostal churches and was constantly told I was not"saved" , but every time they showed me Scripture to "prove" to me I was a lost soul, God whispered the real meaning of the scripture to me. Thank you for confirming my understanding of their misunderstanding.

Your saved because you believed and asked God to live in your heart. It’s by believing that we receive salvation.

For this very reason I limit reading books by Christian authors and have become extremely selective and prayerful about sermons/teachings I watch on CZcams - for fear of being led astray. The Bible is my go to book.
That is awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for sharing your perspective Suzanne Brousseau!
Yes!
Sorry to say I wasted way too many years chasing after the next book with the answers instead of reading the whole Bible in context. I was led astray by Word of Faith teaching unfortunately. But I am trying to help others not get caught up in it. It sounds so good.
Suzanne Brousseau, I don't read any books on Christianity because there is invariably a mistake in them, unless God tells me to read it. I listen to very few ministries as most invariably will come up with false statements and "back" them up with scriptures that don't apply to their statement. The Bible is my reference book, and a Bible Concordance, sometimes. When you know the truth, Jesus Christ, then the Holy Spirit reveals what is truth and what is lie to you. He confirms it in many ways, one of them being, reading comments here, and when they're true, something in me goes " That's It ! ". Same goes for when I'm talking to someone. Be surrendered and submitted to God always and you'll know "all things", as the Bible says.
@@courtneynicole767 Historically, yes, they were close to the truth, but practically, I've heard many are falling away into weird practices. You should follow Christ, forsaking denominational labels which will deny Christ in some way. If you've found a good Pentacostal church, wonderful. But know, all true Christians are Pentacostal, but are not obeying the tenets of any denomination, but obeying the word of God, as taught by the Holy Spirit.

I've heard this one so often: "If you don't speak in tongues, you don't have the holy spirit." , but I never managed to find it in the Bible...
You most probably have not been baptized with the Spirit
@@peterhussey-yeo9041 When someone is baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (and with faith in Jesus) they receive the Holy Spirit. There is no separate baptism of the spirit.
Baptism of the spirit is just evidence of tongues. Speaking in tongues has two meanings. A angelic prayer and one that requires a interpretation. Angelic prayer is what poured out on Pentecost. I used to think that too because I never spoken in tongues. I used to wonder why I didn’t have the Holy Spirit until my Pentecostal preacher preached over it just being a gift and it’s a wonderful one but it’s only evidence of the Holy Spirit. Just like our fruits. Sorry you had that encounter. After that sermon I quit denying the gift of tongues as a unclean Spirit and then I stopped believing in didn’t have the Holy Spirit. The next couple weeks later I raised my arms and prayed like I never prayed before. I prayed so deep and intimate to God he interceded and filled me with the Holy Spirit with evidence of tongues.

What church did you end up attending after leaving the Pentecostal church? I grew up in a oneness Pentecostal church and I am now* looking for a new church.
@@oscarcastillo2890hi same as well I’m leaning towards a non denominational
@@belencruzxoxoJust be careful, keeping in mind that non denominational churches are basically Baptist + Pentecostal.
Mr. Allen, these verses are not limited to being misinterpreted by "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics". I have kept company with Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, and a host of other Believers who have used these verses "out of context". Indeed, zeal is not always balanced with knowledge. But this holds true for many denominations and Believers. It appears that misinterpretations of these scriptures, or any other verses, stem from misguided teachings and sometimes innocently applied reasonings. The perception applied is as if "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics" are of a cultish origin. That is not necessarily the case. In your "calling out" individuals and denominations, it is now coming across as being judgmental and somewhat pious. Your understanding and personal interpretation of the Word is phenomenal, but I am sure that you have had your own pruning and weeding out period in your spiritual growth and development. Stereotyping is never acceptable in our society nor our Church, as you are grouping all "Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and Charismatics" under one roof. That, in itself, is applying spiritual stereotyping and judgement.
I learned most of these teachings from a Baptist preacher, so I was really confused about it being “charismatic”. Pretty sure it’s an epidemic.
Thank you for this observation. I was wondering myself.
Thank you for making this point.
Thank you for this comment. I go to a pentacostal church and a pentacostal/charismatic theological college and I've heard some pentacostal use these verses because they heard it from a prosperity preacher. The church I go to is doesn't ever use these verses out of context nor does the college. I think it can describe word of faith movement/prosperity preaching but it shouldn't sum up all pentacostals/charismatics. After all some pentacostal churches I've seen are more like a Presbyterian or baptist church and on the other hand I've seen some baptist and Presbyterian seem more charismatic/pentecostal.
Well man-made sects will always take verses out of context.
Only Christ's Church is the pillar of truth (1 timoth 3:15). Any private interpretation leads to a soul to ruin.
I used to be this way! I used to pray and “claim” healing and speak prosperity into existence for my life. Joyce Meyer was my favorite teacher. I was taught how to speak in tongues. I used to “bind” evil spirits in the name of Jesus.
Then I began to seek truth and read the Bible in its full context. I was SO lost in this false theology. Thank you Holy Spirit for saving me from false accusations of the character of God!
God is WAY bigger than I will ever be! Let HIM be praised forever.
I am so thrilled you are now a "discerning" Christian. May God bless you and keep you.
I was in the same boat too, but this channel came up in my suggestions along with a couple others and I've never been the same since. Praise the Lord!
Did you actually get healing and if you did do you believe maybe that power came from another source like a demonic source because people also manifest healing and that definitely isn’t from god or they do reikki healing and while many get physically healed they then need deliverance from demons they allowed in their body. Do you think claiming and rebuking for healing may be a form of witchcraft?
Same thing happened to me many years ago. Even after I stopped attending those types of churches, it took years to realize how the false teachings undermined my growth and sound thinking as a believer. God reveals his truth in his word, and confirms his word in other scriptures. As a new believer in the late 70's, I just assumed those teachers were smarter than I was---when I couldn't figure out how they got that meaning from reading the same passage I was.
Just wanted to remind you that healing is 100% real and still a very active work of God today. And it was provided for in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, which set us free from the curse of the law, which includes all sickness.
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:17-20 NIV
GOD bless us all ❤️

This is why daily repentance is so important.
What followers have to remember is any spiritual leader is not exempt from Ego.
Misinterpretation of Scripture is the reason we have so many dominations of Christianity, we have to pray and read the word daily.
God bless anyone who sees this, keep up the good fight in these tough times ahead.
I was raised in the Pentecostal Church, and I disagree with the statements made here. I've never in my 30 yrs of life, heard any Pastor or preacher push the idea of "speaking things into existence" or being physically healed based on that specific verse. I've always understood it as being a spiritual healing. Also, I can't say they push monetary wealth, if anything I've experienced the complete opposite. Pentecostals put an emphasis on the power of The Holy Spirit, and Biblical Doctrine. On not conforming to the ways of the world, seperation, and serious Sanctification through the power of The Holy Spirit. GOD gave the 10 Comandantes to Israel, and that applies to us also as Gentiles. So, there are many things given and told to Israel that can also apply to us gentiles. Many times, it's GOD'S Character on display, His intentions to do us good, and work all things out for our well being.
As far as speaking in tongues, Scripture says that's a manifestation of The Holy Spirit, a Spiritual Gift. 1 Corinth. 12:31 tells us to "earnestly desire higher gifts." Walking in the Spirit is evidence that Christ lives in us. That's how we test, and analyze ourselves to see if Christ truly dwells in us. God Bless 🙏🙏
Me neither!!! He is REACHING in this video. Smh.
@TS places I've been to church. He was on point with this teaching. I usually have had questions after some sermons preached at church and Allen breaks scripture down to simple understanding for me
@@valarie.parker83 Yeah, I get that. But this was specifically about the Pentecostal Church, and in general at that. Are you referring to the Pentecostal Church, or do you attend a different Church?
I feel like he needs to clarify that this is not all Pentecostal churches. Some are filled with the g-12 movement but there are so many more sound doctrine churches that are Pentecostal that preach nothing but the true bible.
Also, in the Pentecostal denomination there are so many sub denominations and organizations that have their different interpretations of verses and many fight to go against the stereotypes that Pentecostal are faced with
My advice to every born again Christian:
1. Pray to God to receive the Word of God in ITS CONTEXT
2. Read and study the Word of God daily it’s your spiritual food for your soul
3. Be like a noble Berean DO NOT believe everything you read or hear search the Scriptures
4. TEST THE SPIRITS if they are from God
5. Judge righteously and correctly with the Word of God
Pull your doctrines from scripture - don't form a doctrine then try to use scripture to back it up, whenever possible.
That's another key thing.

Yes, !!! the speaking in tongues, my pentecostal friend always telling me to I need to be filled with the Holy Spirit then I will get the ability to speak in tongues which I know that is far from the truth .Once we are saved we already have the Holy Spirit living within us.
Paul encourages all believers to seek earnestly the gifts of the spirit. He’s talking to people already saved. And he also says that he wishes all Christians spoke tongues as much as he did.
yes you need to be filled with the spirit and baptized with fire. The Holy Spirit is HOLY. Do you really think that he will fill a believer in habitual sin? When a sinner comes to Christ, they receive the seal of the Holy Spirit. If the believer wants to be filled, they must seek the lord and ask. I am currently asking and seeking for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
@@lukericker8325 Paul also says that he'd rather speak 5 intelligible words that edify the brethren than 10,000 in a tongue that no one understands (1 Corinthians 14:18-19). He also asked rhetorically, "Do all speak in tongues?" The implication being, NO, ALL DO NOT SPEAK IN TONGUES. Plus he said earnestly desire the spiritual gifts ESPECIALLY THAT YOU MAY PROPHECY (1Corinthians 14:1). This is all centered in one overarching command: LOVING ONE ANOTHER.
JESUS SAID, "BY THIS ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRULY MY DISCIPLES IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER (John 13:34-35)." The gifts of the Spirit are not given to prove that l'm saved nor for my SELF-indulgence. They are for glorifying God and building up the Church of which Christ is the head (Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 4:14-16, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 1 Corinthians 14:1).
To me one of the most devastating passages in God's word is 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. It shows that A PERSON CAN BE EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED BUT MISS THE MARK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BEAR THE FRUIT OF LOVE (Matthew 7:15-23). The fruit of the Spirit is different than the gifts of the Spirit. God gives us spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 4:7, James 1:16-17). THAT'S HIS CHOICE, HIS GENEROSITY. BUT LOVING OTHERS IS OUR CHOICE. God will not force me to love other people. Loving others is volitional especially when dealing with those who've done me harm. God and Jesus have chosen to love me DESPITE ME. Because THEY ARE LOVE (1John 4:8, 16).
The first promise in the New Testament is Matthew 1:21. "And she will bear a Son; and you shall call his name Jesus, FOR IT IS HE WHO WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." Of what value is it if l'm loaded with spiritual gifts while also being filled with pride? Or if l am immoral in mind or actions? Or if my heart is trained in greed? Or if l hold anger in my heart against my brother, which Jesus equated with murder? I could go on.
The Corinthians were far more legitimately gifted than probably any church in the world today. But they treated the Lord's Supper like a picnic, were taking each other to court, had immorality going on that even pagans would frown upon, and the rich were disdainful of the poor.
Being blessed with spiritual gifts does not always translate into a person exhibiting holy and upright moral character. God requires that we be holy for he is holy, holy, holy (Leviticus 11:44-45, Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8).
Acts 2:4
Acts 10:46
Acts 19:6
Tongues is the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost for example the disciples obviously already believed in Jesus yet they still had a separate experience on the day of Pentecost where they received the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues

@@farealwitit7947 then why are you here?
@@farealwitit7947 How so?
I am a Pentecostal and I’ve never heard a non tv preacher say that every believer should be healed or rich. I agree that tongues is not THE only sign of The Holy Spirit. There is a difference between being born again and being filled with Holy Spirit. The disciples were born again when Jesus blew on them and said receive the Holy Spirit, then they were baptized in Holy Spirit in the upper room. For me I don’t think God changed the script after the apostles, I believe that the church in the book of Acts is still available today.
Speaking with new tongues is the only true sign of the holyghost... some don't understand that there are 3 different types of tongues. Thats one of the mysteries of the lord. Also all through acts they all spoke with new tongues when receiving the holy SPIRIT.
@@tutking55 I agree that there are 3 different functions of speaking in tongues. The Apostle Paul spoke in tongues, however the Bible does not record him speaking in tongues at the time he was filled with the Holy Spirit, but he immediately began to proclaim Jesus... Acts 9:17-20. I also believe that backsliders who are far away from God can still speak in tongues, it’s never wise in my opinion to use a gift of the Holy Spirit as a marker for a persons spiritual condition. But it’s much more accurate to use the fruit of the Spirit for determining spiritual condition. Remember Judas did signs and wonders, and he was a thief and Trader.

As a former WOF member, I wholeheartedly co-sign this video. It’s quite dangerous when scriptures are taken out of its context as it truly leads people astray. I’ve seen one of my old pastors mention that healing is determined solely by the believer, so if they died from an illness, it was their fault and they would use Isaiah 53:5-6 ans other scriptures to state that God cannot heal until the believer has enough faith... and I’ve seen way more in my time there. Let’s make sure that when we read the Word that we continue to seek God to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
If only they read the Bible and realised the man at the pool of Bethesda was healed and he didn’t even know who Jesus was 💀 there have been so many times where people prayed for someone who did not have faith they would be healed and they were healed! It’s all dependent on Gods sovereign will. It’s not great faith jn God, it’s faith in a great God. We need to rely completely on a God not on our “amount” of faith. Because then you are putting faith in YOURSELF to be healed and not God! We need to trust and rest, not strive. I admit it’s something I’m personally working on.
That's what I like to hear! Thanks for watching, Laura O
Laura and more Laura.. Context should be about the topic. The whole Bible Genesis to Revelation is for you and for me.. That context should be clear and sealed. Romans 1:16-17: The context of saying it is for last generation, for black people, for whites, for Israelite or for Egyptians is Left or right people is a horrible and leading you out to hell. 2 Tim 3:16-17, Bible stories are lessons for us to learn from.
BRAVO ALEN!!! You hit the BIG 5 I always hear and see abused....that SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY believers are constantly taking scripture out of context and rewriting the word to suit themselves is concerning!
Regarding the 2nd point on using “By His Stripes, we were healed” in Isaiah 53:5.
Allen claimed that this is only for spiritual healing. May I suggest that this includes physical healing too. Allen mentioned that one has to read the context to understand the biblical meaning. Well and good. If you look into verse 4 of Isaiah 53, it is talking about physical illness. Matthew 8:17 confirms this:
“This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.””
Matthew 8:17 NIV
Clearly, the early Christians interpreted that both physical and spiritual healings were part of the work of the cross by our Lord. I hope we do read our bible in ‘greater context’ and understand that it is the will of God for us to be healed and truly by His stripes, we can be healed (spiritually and physically).
I agree to that
I was just going to post the same verse. The great Salvation Christ purchased for us on the cross is threefold: spirit soul and body.
@@dncrod Yes!
If you look at the root hebrew word used for healing in the verse he referred to, "rapha", and then cross reference the other verses used, they are all for PHYSICAL not spiritual healing. He's the one interpreting wrong. i know he does these videos with good intentions, but I hate that presents it as if his denominational beliefs are the end all be all and those that dont agree are false. No one has it 100% correct, how much space does he leave for himself or his denomination to be incorrect. I haven't seen it yet.
So true.. I think he's confused according to the scriptures and still wrestling with somethings from his past church... We are supposed to apply the blood of Jesus and his word to our lifes. That's where the power is that's what he died for.. He knew what it would take to save us and what it would take to keep us to make it to heaven.. I will be praying for this brother..🙏
Excellent! I was involved with a charismatic pentecostal church for 15 years. And ALL of this was taught all the time. So many lives were ruined because of the false teachings that you address here. When my wife & I left that church a couple of years ago for a much more doctrinally sound church, we were ask d repeatedly by our former church friends if the new place spoke in tongues. They couldn't get past it. And the lead pastor at the time often preached that if you aren't speaking in tongues, then you need to get saved. Like it was THE evidence of being truly saved. It just got so rediculous. We love those folks. But the error is soooo deep there. Sad.
Thank you for what you do here brother Allen.
As far as speaking in tongues is concerned. Three times in the book of Acts it is written that believers recieved the Holy Spirit and the first thing that happened is that they spoke in tongues. The important question is, does God see those three instances as sufficient proof that believers should expect to speak in tongues as the first evidence that they have recieved the Holy Spirit ?
@@robertnieten7259 there is a difference of receiving the Holy Spirit (happens when you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord) and being baptized with the Holy Spirit. When you are baptized with the Spirit, the Spirit falls on you. Oftentimes, this is accompanied by speaking in tongues and prophesying, but not always.
@Josh Gellock Recieving the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are one and the same event. Not once in the book of Acts do we read of believers recieving the Holy Spirit at one point and then being baptized in the Holy Spirit at another time.
We do not recieve the Holy Spirit the moment we believe the gospel and accept Jesus as our savior.
Being saved is being born again and just as physical birth is the end result of a process so is spiritual rebirth. We recieve the Holy Spirit as the result of believing " into" Christ not just believing in Him, that shows that there is a process involved. Acts 2:38 is that process.
In Acts ch.19 when Paul met the disciples he asked them, " Have you recieved the Holy Spirit since you believed"? For him to even ask them that is to prove that one doesn't recieve the Holy Spirit the minute that they believe.
When they told Paul that they hadn't even heard that there was a Holy Spirit, Paul asked them, " How then were you baptized"?
They said," by Johns' baptism". Paul then told them ," verily John baptized in a baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, to believe on the one to come after him, Jesus Christ"( Acts 19:4).
It then says, " When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,And when Paul layed hands on them and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied"( Acts 19: 5,6 )
You see that the disciples believed by what they did and that was to complete their repentance by being water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
They then recieved the Holy Spirit by being baptized in the Holy Spirit confirmed by their speaking in tongues and prophesying.
@@robertnieten7259 tell me, when Jesus breathed on the disciples (before the ascension), and said, "receive the Holy Spirit", did they receive it or not?
@Josh Gellock When Jesus breathed on His apostles and said, " Recieve ye the Holy Spirit" they didn't recieve the Holy Spirit at that time because the Holy Spirit would not be poured out until Acts 2 At Pentecost.
Remember, in Acts 2 just before the apostles, and the other believers gathered there, there was a rushing mighty wind. The natural reaction whether it be breath blowing in your face or wind is to breath in.
The believers breathed in the Holy Spirit. Remember in John ch.3 when the Lord drew a comparison to Nicodemus between birth of the flesh and birth of the Spirit.
When a physical baby is removed from the mother the doctor would smack them on the butt and they would breath in and cry alerting all within hearing that a baby had been born.
Spiritually a believer leaves the baptismal water and in the process of calling out to the Lord for the Holy Spirit breathes in the Spirit and speaks in " tongues" alerting all within hearing range that a spiritual babe in Christ had been born.
What really hurts is when you talk to one of these people about context and they look at you like "you're just using fancy words....you don't have faith."
🙄 SO frustrating.
Or they say these: you're too "heady", or, "well you thrive on head-knowledge, but I have experience."
If you try to present sacred Scripture in its own context, and if you lay everything out clearly and carefully by way of the Holy Spirit, they look at you as big headed or void of faith..... This angers me deeply.
Dear brother, I’m Italian and I attend a Pentecostal church and first of all:
We do not believe that we can speak things into existence, that’s just a big lie
Second we do not believe that when you get saved you always get healed physically, it can happen but it’s not related to salvation
Third we do not believe that every Christian is rich or should be rich, our pastor even condemns the prosperity gospel..another mistake
Fourth we *do not* believe that if you don’t speak in tongues you don’t have the Holy Spirit, we believe that the Holy Spirit takes residence within you since the moment you accept Christ, the gift of tongues (which is a real manifestation of God that anybody can experience) is considered like a “more empowering” experience to help you speak out the word of God with boldness..(this concept of boldness btw is repeated multiple times in Acts after the Pentecostal experience of the apostles)
Fifth I can tell you that I’ve seen many times pastors laying their hands on people and those people were speaking in tongues, this is not an isolated event happened 2000 years ago, it is still real! *This does not mean btw that very Christian must experience this*
Sixth: I’ve been in so many Pentecostal churches and never saw someone casting demons out of somebody else...you may have seen these things with someone like Benny Hinn and other similar “pastors” who guide their service in a way more close to devil spirits, rather than the Spirit of God.
Having said this I’m not surprised if in America these things are common, you guys are very revolutionary with pretty much everything..but don’t make confusion not all Christian Pentecostal do and believe such things
Matteo I think the objection we have (I can only speak for myself here) is what exactly is this 'tongue' that the pentecostals speak? Speaking in tongues simply means speaking 'in other languages'. ie French, German. I do not believe that on the day of Pentecost any other languages were spoken than those which existed on earth at that time. If the language you claim to speak is not known by someone on earth right now I am deeply skeptical. Pentecost had a purpose - it was to spread the word to the four corners of the world. I think part of the problem for the pentecostal movement is Jimmy Swaggart. A man who uses tongues like some sort of evidence. He claims it is a language spoken in heaven. His grandson claims it is a future language of man not yet spoken on earth. Very shady and suspicious conduct by these two men.
@@thesolaraquarium Amen! Speaking in tongues is not babbling gibberish. Babbling is easy to imitate and people can give false interpretations(translations). “Heavenly language” or “tongues of angels”is a figure of speech, not literal. Paul is emphasizing that it’s a spiritual gift from God. When we start to look at scripture as literature and properly exegete the text (without adding our own opinions or ideas) it is easier to understand . . So we must understand figurative language and literal language. They teach this stuff in English language arts for a reason lol .
@@Noah-rv9uj I was given the 'gift of tongues' a few decades ago. I was struggling to read a religious book in French, the work of a Saint. I would have to check my french-english dictionary every sentence at least once. It seems that God wanted me to read this book. A few days later I was able to read the book without a dictionary and understand 95% of what was there. To this day I don't use a dictionary - don't even have one in my library anymore. I am able to read French unassisted. I am able to work out the missing 5% from the 95% I understand. It is a gift from God. I have no doubt about that. I always had a working knowledge of French (it is my second language). But until that time I was never able to read it without a dictionary as a helper. Since that time I can. Until now I have never told anyone about this. Only God and I know this. It's personal, as I expect all gifts of God are. When people start declaring in public that they have a gift from God I get skeptical. I only share this to explain that some of us have been given this gift of tongues. I am not alone in this, I am sure.
With all do respect I share some Pentecostal beliefs and they all do not teach like this. I wish Allan Parr would of used the word "some" charismatics. Because not many of us teach in this way. I have a Grandma (RIP) that was a mighty woman of God Pentecostal. Yes she beleived in the healing power of God yet she never taught that we were all supposed to be rich or wealthy. My Grandma had amazing faith that has inspired me to walk with GOD. So please do not lump all Pentecostal charismatics as being the same. Thank you Allan Parr and again i say this with Love and respect which is why i will still continue to listen to you videos
True because I know a revivalist teacher and he doesnt preach like that either
I agree with you . May be it is his personal experience but categorizing all pentecostals and charismatic churches in same way is not right either. Like - just because I heard someone in baptist church preach that satan and jesus were brothers... i cannot say all of them believe that wrong doctrine and say they r false teachers.
So we need to watch out for our brothers and sisters in Christ, specially at this time when we need each other the most to stand for the Gospel in Spirit and Truth. Hope you understand this brother Allen, with due respect
When the demons come into my dreams I can just think of Jesus and bound them and I wake up, so I will continue to bound them in the name of Jesus Christ, doesn't it say get behind me devil in the name of Jesus and he will flee?
@Stewart Ross How would you know? You sound bitter and judgmental. I said all do not teach this way. You said "wrong" like you you know every Pentecostal in the World. 😆
@Stewart Ross Why dont you do what Allen says and provide scripture to back-up whatever claims you are trying to make? Otherwise you are just being emotional.
Ohh by His stripes I am healed for sure. I believe it and no one can take it out. By His stripes I was healed instantly after a road accident.

@Mikael Yashuah Donoso YEAh hhh some are trying to set dates
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso I don't Know man! CZcams Is going Crazy This Year, Espiaclly Our people/ christians/ Believers/body of christ.
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso Yeah I think So, I think we Can Repent And Turn Back To God during the tribulation period But It will Not Be Easy because we'll Get Killed By The Antichrist. But Have Hope Because as soon as He Killedus, we will Find ourselves Wearing White Robe and will Worship God In His Temple and we will Live In His Presence Forever. AMEN
@Mikael Yashuah DonosoI Know what the 2nd amendment talks about But Brother We Cant Use Weapons To Defend Ourselves. Remember When Peter Trys To Defend Jesus With Sword And He Cut The priest's Servant head and Jesus Says To him 'Put Your Sword Back In Its Space and Then He says Those who use Sword will Die By the sword" So Let Us Be Strong in Jesus.
Revelation 13:10, Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso The Devil can't show himself his going to use human. When the BIBLE says that Beast Coming Out Of A Sea. A Sea Represents People/Population of people.
It's sad but many "Christians" need a Bible overhaul. I'm convinced that along with these verses that their understanding of the entire Bible is warped as well.
It's so sad and getting worse. Now they are Reading the Passion version that is nothing more than a man telling people what he thinks the verses really mean using terminology they use which only reinforces the wrong conclusions.
Really Pentecostal and Charasmatic believers do have some traditions or philosophies of man that need to be brought down but so do you guys as well. Every denomination or non denomination thinks they have the Best interpretation of the scriptures but we have a lot of Western Christianity mindsets or should I say strongholds that need to be brought down! When I look at the church in Acts and I look at the church Today, why does it look drastically different? Have you ever asked yourself that? Something is wrong with us!!
For a lot of Christians, I suspect the only experience they have with Holy Writ is what they hear from the pulpit. They have never read it for themselves.
Two words: Take. Read.
In my experiences evangelicals are the worse in interpreting scriptures correctly.
@@donnaroberts4513 Parrots and lemmings.
I consider myself evangelical - though I come from a church that has long ago stopped being evangelical despite being about the *founders* of modern evangelicalism - and I frequently criticize evangelicals for getting it wrong. I've gotten a lot of people mad at me by explaining verses that EvErYbOdY kNoWs MeAnS tHiS but actually mean something completely different, or highlighting verses they choose to ignore because they don't fit their worldview.
No. 4 is the one being stressed so much in a charismatic church I used to attend, but not any of the other points (in that particular church). It was such a stressful period. The people at that church are very nice, but I feel like their love and acceptance is conditional, upon whether we speak in tongues or not. And if we don't, we are considered second-class men/women of God 😢 and that broke my heart
Wait … what ?!
Funny thing - Paul said that those that did NOT speak in tongues were UNINIATED/unlearned/ - making THREE groups of people in 1 cor 14 - the unregenerated - those that spoke in tongues and those that did NOT - so the CLASSIFICATION is BIBLICAL - BUT that is NO excuse for making any claim of CONDITIONAL love based on speaking in tongues or not.
I just don't see that you had an actual case - you MAY have realized there was MORE to the GOSPEL than you had - I was that way for maybe 5 years - but eventually the BIBLE and GOD met in UNITY over me and I GOT the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT and LOTS more - BAM!!!
I am QUITE sure that they wanted you to have all God wanted you to have - and nothing more. And GOD wanted you to speak in tongues . . . for communion with Him, if nothing more.
1 Cor 14:23 "Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?"
"No. 4 is the one being stressed so much in a charismatic church I used to attend, but not any of the other points (in that particular church). It was such a stressful period.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.
1 Corinthians 14:6-12
I won’t talk bad about Pentecostals, they are the only denomination that emphasizes the Holy Spirit enough.
It's ALL about Jesus.
The Holy Spirit ALWAYS points to Jesus.
It is not about the Holy Spirit being greater than Jesus. The Holy Spirit is also God, but He points to Jesus.
It is all about salvation through Jesus Christ.
Our focus is to be on Jesus.
Once you realize each member of the Godhead is equal - it’s better, because you don’t lower your perception of the One you thought was highest of the Three, you raise the ones you felt were lower. If you think well I thought the Son was the best member of the trinity because just how good He is, then you can think, well they’re equal so how good must the Father be! Or vis-versa. We are actually saved by the Spirit through belief in Jesus. Titus 3:5-7 states, “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
@@user-bm4xd4ir5x I agree but it was Jesus who sent the Holy Spirit of God to dwell in us. He knows how fallen this world is and He knows the power we need to get through it. Too many believers, call out Abba Father, love Jesus, but are powerless. I pray we don't put emphasis on one or the other but just as the GodHead work ensync we do the same to the glory of God by carrying out the great commission.
@@charmainwilliams-farrar2559 Why do we need supernatural power to "get through it"? I am born again I have Christ in me, if I don't have some supernatural gift, I am happy just to be a child of God. I don't doubt there are some saved pentecostals but I do think they focus too much on the supernatural. I know family members who follow heretical teachings just because the preacher is charismatic, I think that is clearly dangerous.
@@Romans8-9 you ask why do we need the Holy Spirit. That's a question for Jesus. He said the Holy Spirit was going to comfort us, teach us, convict us, and guide us into all truth. Jesus also said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. So if you think you know better than Jesus about the need for the Holy Spirit than I don't know what to say. Either way, May God bless you.

Every word in the Bible is for us. Don’t mind Mr. Parr and his falsely interpretation
This!!! God has been revealing teachings that I have readily accepted and even taught....yes yes yes! After praying, fasting, "declaring", speaking, rebuking etc for nearly a decade over different physical ailments...I've came to the realization (against popular belief in modern churches) that it is not always GOD'S will to heal our bodies, however, it is ALWAYS His will that we would KNOW Him as Lord & Savior & not perish spiritually.
I’m grateful for this teaching. I left a church this past year that quotes at least 4 of theses scriptures out of context. I had no idea the depth of error, as I have quoted them out of context also. I thank God for His revelation through your vessel of knowledge. Blessings
Luke 10:19 does say we “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” We do have authority over demonic spirits, just not authority to create our own selfish world and call things into existence. Correct me if I'm wrong (on the former part rather than the latter)
I believe He gave the Apostles the authority but I will need to go back and re-read for correct context. 📖
Yup the Apostles, but I misunderstood it wasn't the 12 it was the 70 Jesus appointed after the 12. 🙏 as I step out in faith may I remain able and ready for the Lord to correct my theology concerning His truth, that I may walk in that freedom He wants me to have when I know the truth as He intended to be received. ✝️
@@paulinelister5868 what are your thoughts on Steven and Philip doing miraculous things under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. They were not apostles.
@@ericpartain4612 wasn't Philip one of the Twelve? Though I don't know if all the Twelve were commissioned to be apostles
@@heresthadude1080 yes he was. Sorry. Philip wasn't the best example for this conversation. Another thing to consider is that God used a variety of people throughout the old testament to do miraculous things as well. I think to say the gifts went out with the apostles or was only designated to the apostle is hard to prove to all of the people who have personally experienced miracles over time as well as the number of people God used throughout the historic narrative we have in the bible. Also when Paul writes Corinthians he is not writing to apostles but the Corinthian church which is evidenced to already have several of the gifts of the Spirit in function. I've seen people function in the gift of healing in today's time. Doesn't mean they can go to the hospital and heal everybody but rather the gifts are used in the time and place that God sees fit.
Wow this was a great breakdown of exactly how we don’t realize what’s happening in those largely spiritual moments! I wasn’t raised in church and so when I finally did begin my journey, I constantly tested word against word!!! This is a great reminder to lead others to do the same! Thanks from Pastor E in Az!
I came out of the Pentecostal church after diligently praying to God and asking Him to reveal himself to me. Since then I have seen the bible in a whole new light! Acts 19 was a passage I struggled with a little and this video helped me sooooooo much on getting that clarified. Thank you Allen and God bless you brother for speaking truth bravely and boldly!!
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment Angel Velez! God bless!
I so agree. Many verses by all people, to fit their message , or point at the time, are taken completely out of context
@@matasaina2011 example?

If God were the only one that can speak things to existence, there would be no Faith (Heb 11:1) and 2 Corinth 4:18. Focus on unseen things.
“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”

I went to a Pentecostal church when I was young. You are certainly right about that wrong doctrine. Holy moly!! I am so thankful for the people who know the Lord, that were able to explain the truth to me. I was quite young when I got saved. I was in my teen years when the truth about the Pentecostal doctrine was explained to me.
Awesome Cindy w! Thanks for watching my video!
Can you please tell me what they said to you? I'm in a pentecostal church and I want to know the truth and find a really biblical truth based church.

Jesus "Fell on his Face and Prayed."
Matthew 26:39
If Jesus was God, then would a God fall on his face and pray?
And who would he be praying to?
The Bible calls Jesus a Prophet
(Matthew 21:10-11), so how could Jesus be God and be God's Prophet at the same time?
Jesus said, "I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me." (John 14:28)
Jesus said "I Ascend Unto My Father, and Your Father, and to My God, and Your God."
(John 20:17)
If Jesus Was God, then why would he say, "to My God, and Your God," and who was he Ascending to BUT THE ONLY TRUE GOD THE FATHER / JOHN 17 3
If Jesus was God, he would have clearly told People to Worship him, and there would be clear verses in the Bible stating this; YET He did the Opposite and Disapproved anyone worshipping him: "And in Vain They Worship Me." (Matthew 15:9)
I AGREED,
@@islamdefenderyahya4621 John 10:30
English Standard Version

@@islamdefenderyahya4621 Like all unbelievers, you mishandle the Word of God, and you take scripture out of context. Christians believe the Divinity of God exists in 3 Persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That’s how Jesus can say to My God and your God.
In fact, in Hebrews 1:13, God is quoted as saying, “The Lord says to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Who do you think which Lord the Lord is speaking to?
Since you are in John, chapter 20, when Thomas placed his hands into the wounds of Jesus, he stated in verse 28, “My Lord and my God.” Don’t you think Jesus would have corrected him if that statement wasn’t true?
You are mishandling the Word of God with Matthew 15:9. Jesus is quoting Isaiah 29:13:
These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
If anything, Jesus is expecting worship - but the right way.
Also, there are numerous places where Jesus accepts worship:
Matthew 8:2
Matthew 9:18
Matthew 15:25
Matthew 20:20
Matthew 28:9
John 9:38
Hebrews 1:6
The Apostle John said:
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58
The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because the “I AM” referred back to Exodus 3:14 where Moses asked God what His name was - “I AM WHO I AM” was the answer. Surely you can see where Jesus is saying He is God.
Also, only God raises people from the dead. Read John, Chapter 11 to see where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead.
If you like, I can provide more Scripture references that show where Jesus is God.
Thank you, Brother Allen. May your ministries continue to reach many who are confused or poorly taught. Happy Easter 2023. He is Risen!
Thank you for speaking the truth. I have relatives and friends who are into this stuff and don't bother to read the scripture in context. You are a blessing to me and I'm sure many others!
I belong to an Assemblies of God church (Pentecostal) and NONE of these verses are taught in the false way as described here! Praise Jesus!
John 16:33 pretty much tells us that life will be hard and tough, which is why we need Jesus to be with us. The idea that we have God’s power is absurd. If we get healed, it’s His power, not ours.
Those false healing pastors, if they have that gift, go to the cancer ward in a Children’s hospital and get to work....
Amen!!!
I’m going to be an AG minister and yes these false teachers take everything out of context. To them Jesus isn’t enough. They want the Jesus plus gospel.
Exactly! I am a member of the Church Of God, and this guy is TOTALLY WRONG about what we teach. I wonder if he's ever even been in a Pentecostal church. He doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, lumping Pentecostals in with the WoF movement.
What Assembly of God church do you visit? This is exactly what they teach.
I agree with you 100%. Baptists have no idea and put us in with word of faith, NAR, and other false theologies.
Everything he just explained here is exactly why I am not a Pentecostal anymore and I left the word of faith movement. Problem is I don't know who to listen to anymore except for pastor Parr of course. This man has saved me from leaving Christianity all together because of his teachings I can still cling
My opinion of the verses as a Pentecostal
1. Abram was called father of many nations by other people becauae God decreed it to be so, even before it happened. So all the people calling abram "abraham" did so because God said it. Thats the context of its use today. If God said its true, speak it. Having HIS words on our mouth daily, thats what it is.
2. We are healed. Be it so according to your faith. The spiritual healing means that the physical is healed as well. We are spirits first, then fleshy. But even if its only spiritual, believing God for anything is never wrong
3. You are right, but nothing is wrong with using this verse or any verse in prayer. Ask and you shall receive. I get your point here tho. Know that the new covenant has better promises for us. So if its promised in the old, its available now too.
4. Speaking of tongues is evidence of being baptized in the holy spirit. Not having the holy spirit. The spirit was with many before christ and its obvious. Every true believer has the holy spirit, but the baptism is needed still.
5. We can cast out demons. Terminology doesnt matter, they must leave in jesus name. Literally nothing wrong with saying "i bind you in jesus name". Its effective for deliverance.
Have your own convictions and take everything taught with prayer to God and study of other scriptures. God bless!
Well said.
Very well said. Sometimes we as Christians live way beneath what God intended because we’re so busy trying to explain away the power we were meant to walk in as born-again people.
Let’s not take the Word out of context of course. AND let’s not bring the Word down to our low level of experience either. Believe the Word till your experience rises to line up with the Word!
@@delainnabatoon exactly!
you guys got it right! pentecostal here too and i agree. many try to explain away what they haven’t seen.
Number 4 Most people speaking in tongues don’t know the hell there are taking about. It is pure vain babbling making foolish noises period. Ok they are speaking in tongues where is the interpreter?
I am currently attending a pentecostal church and I have observed our pastors and elders doing these a lot. I am also assigned to teach/preach sometimes and I’m a woman, but no I am not yet a pastor though our church allows women as Senior pastors. We even have a branch church which is led by two unmarried women. We believe the full gospel but these other things like in the video, we are also doing it. Now I’m starting to understand what the bible really is saying, what God really wants and designed for His church and your video is a big help. Though I don’t think I can make a difference in our church now, coz it’s already big. I’m planning to move to a more bible based church where I can grow in the truth. I hope anyone reading this can help me pray for God to lead me to the right church. And I also pray that christians like me who were being led in a different direction will also be awaken and see the truth.
And thank you so much for your ministry brother Allen Parr. May God continually bless you and your family. Your beautiful ministry have reached me here in the Philippines. Thank you. Thank you for obeying God’s call in your life.
I haven't spoken in tongues. Most of the time, I know that I still have the Holy Spirit, but sometimes the devil makes me doubt it. I'm glad to know that my mother and brothers are right. I still have the Holy Spirit without speaking in tongues
Thank you so much for exposing this! It’s cringe-worthy when I see people use it out of context on social media, graduation speeches and more.
With all due respect pastor, charismatic and pentecostal theology is not the same as prosperity gospel or the word of faith movement (unless you argue for neo-charismatic movement), but pentecostal and charismatic emphasizes on spirit baptism and spiritual gifts, not prosperity gospel.
That aside, good video!
I grew up Charismatic Pentecostal and they did often border on Prosperity Gospel at least in the organizations I was in.
Thank you for saying that. I just wrote a comment saying the same thing. It makes me so angry when people accuse Pentecostals of things we don't do. They have us mixed up with other denominations.
I know of many pentecostal preachers especially in the black community who preach nothing but prosperity gospel.
This is true
,sounds like y'all are going to the wrong Pentecostal church then
I appreciate hearing this as a pastor. I’ve been preaching on these topics for several months now as these misinterpretations have been infiltrating the Church I pastor, causing much confusion. Living in the Dallas area folks have been listening to Curry Blake out of Plano, TX who heads up the John G. Lake ministries. Bless you for you brief explanation. There are teachings from JGL ministries on how to refute the clear interpretation of scripture and calls what we’re doing to correct these errors as “a religious spirit.” Keep honoring the Lord with your channel as this is a very serious issue plaguing the church today. Would love to chat about these things, Lord willing. May the Lord bless your work of faith.
The list of subtle signs of the Holy Spirit was very comforting and informative.
Amen! I used to think I was condemned because I had not spoken in tongues yet. It's been 7 years since I was baptized, and I still have yet to speak in tongues.
You are alright. I've been believing in Jesus for over 25yrs, attended an Assemblies of God church for over 17yrs and i don't speak in tongues, or prophesy, or, get the shakes. I stopped wondering what was wrong with me a very very long time ago❤
Thank you my brother for rightly dividing the word of truth! 2 Timothy 2:15.
My grandma was healed from stage 3 cancer because our Pentecostal church had faith in the power of God
same with my mum, praise God🙏
That's is true only God can tell that they are in wrong or not never judge or God
I grew up Pentacostal.
Our denomination had nothing to do with God's will to heal.
That had nothing to do with your denomination though. It was part of God’s will. God does not heal everyone. If we’re goin by a denomination, my Pentecostal pastor told the congregation that. Grateful your grandma was healed, but understand that it had nothing to do with your denomination 🙏🏾
@@OrondeB yes obviously it requires our faith to know by His stripes we are healed and we are only healed because he loves us. I understand life happens and fallen creation is rough but I know that the closer you are to Christ the healthier your life can and should be.
This isnt a bible verse, but I see many people, popular and not, state that God gave them that position that they always wanted, or God has given me all this money and talents. The devil isnt just horns and fire. He can be disguised as everything you ever desired. Deciet and pride is what consumes people these days and then confuse the fraud with the true King.
Exactly. The fall of man was all because Adam and Eve desired wisdom and power - both on the surface good things - but received it by compromising God's commands and brought death and sin into humanity.
My pastor once said 'the devil can give you scholarship' and it's not a lie. Anything that appears to be good you've acquired that separates/distances you from God, should be investigated. The bible says the devil sometimes appears as an angel of light.
@Emmanè Butter In this world, if you cant walk in humility and be as selfless as possible, its really hard to say that wealth and success is for God. Its noth about how much you make, its about how much you keep. Its not about how people see you, its how you promote yourselfs versus others. The bible doesnt say its hard for a rich man to get into heavan for no reason. Its not impossible, just hard. They have to walk in humility and beable to resist pride and greed for more. Satan is willing to give you everything you want in exchange for your attention away from God, or basically your soul. People think selling your soul is just for music industry or fame. It can be anything. And dont take this outta context. Im not attacking, just partially agreeing. The Lord can bless us with many riches but its also our job to interpret if its from him or the Destroyer.
True, the devil will disguise in anything that's in this world. There are times where even Christians can be used to lead others astray. So we always need to seek what God is saying to us through the Bible.
Good stuff!!! I have been taught most of these! I’ve been in a season of growing away from misinterpretations of scripture. This video confirms my new understandings. Thanks for staying true to the word!!! So blessed by your channel. 🌟
I appreciate your gifted way of pointing out the false teaching of some of these groups. As a Bible teacher, I have corrected these same Bible verses while going verse by verse through the Bible. We must point out the false interpretations of hyper Charismatics as well as the false interpretations of the groups that think God has ceased in giving the gifts of the Spirit to His Church.
Speaking in tongues was not 1 isolated incident there are other referenced events other than the upper room. Paul even writes in 1 Corinthians 14:39 "Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues."
Not ever believer can speaks in tongues, but there are some that do.
There must always be an interpreter present
As much as I love my brothers and sisters in the Assemblies of God, I believe Allen is right that the Bible never stipulates that speaking in tongues is a requirement for genuine salvation.
@@russellsmith4528 I’ve gone to pentecostal churches my whole life, especially AG, and have never gone to one that believes you must speak in tongues to be saved.
@@josephdoctor6423 only if their's a message in tongues not when praising or praying in tongues
Speaking is tongues oh you mean vain babbling and saying things that don’t make sense. People need to go back and read Corinthians 14 . Tongues are languages. I could never understand Jimmy Swaggert and his son alway speaking in tongues saying things that makes no sense. They cannot even interpret the Bible correctly.
I found this channel by accident too , as someone else said in the comments. I'm glad I did. I've learned a lot about these verses and their true meanings. I was mixed up in all of this 25 years ago and left the church and turned my back on God because the church were continually telling us to tithe and we didnt know it wasnt biblical and we were poor as church mice. We'd just got married and didnt even have food in the cupboards. Eventually, it got to us which lead to divorce and physical illness for both of us and 15 years in the darkness. Thankfully, God never let me go. He drew me back to Him through the most unexpected ways. This pandemic has been an intense learning experience. Ive heard people in the church im at now misuse these verses and im trying to get the message across in any way i can to them that they need to see them in their proper context, like I did. Thanks for the breakdown of the meaning of these verses.
Jesus said pay tithes, give to charity, and pay taxes. Just fyi. And if you're broke, remember that 10% of 0 is 0. God bless you.
Thankyou brother for clearing all this up. I have trouble understanding context in the bible. You have helped me out alot. God bless you, your family and your ministry in Jesus's name amen
S.T.O.P = S stands for Situation? | T stands for Type of Literature | O stands for Object | P stands for Prescriptive or descriptive |
STOP and study the Bible - in context. God bless! Btw, good video Alan!
Absolutely love that analogy!
I think a heard that from Dr. Frank Turek? Btw, great insight
This is a good acronym.
Thank you so much for watching! Your comment means a lot, DanielApologetics.
@@thebeatagp - Keep fighting the good fight - and keeo up the great work, Alan.
My husband and I have been through some difficult times, even though looking back some better decision makin would have ceased some hard times, but for the most part somethings we dealt with where out of our control, we prayed together, we tithed , and strongly believed most of everything you talked about in this video, needless to say our understanding was off and we just thought that maybe we weren't good Christians or maybe because we didn't speak in tongues we weren't really saved, but over the past 10 years we've learned to know better, awesome video, i hope people will except this truth, trust me it will stop a lot of headache and frustration!!
Every Christian has to come out of Egypt, cross the Red sea, then take the Wilderness Journey to reach the edge of the Promised Land. Before the LORD takes him into the Promised Land, he must be circumcised, and then cross the river Jorden, and be ready to conquer the first enemy stronghold, Jericho. 1Cor.10
Our Promised Land is not the land of Canaan, but the Heavenly Places (occupied by the Principalities and Powers). Eph.3:10 ; 2:6 So Paul said, our enemies are Principalities and Powers, .......Eph.6:12
Thank you so much for this. I've heard these scriptures taken out of context my whole life. I never fully understood them. I just accepted what I was told by others. The problem is...they just don't work in the way they are being incorrectly taught.
I'll listen to this teaching again.
I'd love to share and may at some point. I may lose friends and family over it, but I absolutely have to agree with you.
So, thanks again.
My only feedback is that if you suggest something is wrong or taken out of context, then suggest the alternative. Similarly to your correction on the Holy Spirit indwelling a believer.
The Bible is a book of lessons and if you were to follow this FALSE TEACHERS teaching, nothing in the Bible is directed at you and I. This man is fake and phony. He is a false teacher. Abraham is our father and what God did to him is what we should expect God to do to us. Galatians 3:7, says, Know that if you are of faith, you are a child of Abraham
@@binoalab My brother in Christ, after reading your comment it seems quite close to bearing false witness. I sincerely pray that that was not your intention. You have every right to disagree with his interpretations, but you should do so in kindness and in love. With that said, the word of God does say in Proverbs 4:7 "In all thy getting, get understanding". We are also commanded in (2 Timothy 2:15) to study his word and rightly divide his truth. So context is absolutely essential. No message can mean something different today than what it was originally intended by the author and how that message would have been understood by the audience at that time. Yes, we can apply the eternal principles of God's word to our present circumstances (see 2 Timothy 3:16). But the verses mentioned in the video were speaking to a very specific audience. For example, consider today's cultural environment, I can speak to a friend and say.. "That's my dog..my buddy". Everyone today would understand that I was using a term of endearment. However, 100 years from now the slang "dog" may no longer be in use. But it would be incorrect for that future audience to assume that I was calling my friend a 4 legged animal. As for your assertion that since we are children of Abraham, we can expect God to do the same for us...Please support that conclusion from the text itself rather than your personally added meaning. Otherwise, that is eisegesis.
Context, context, context! Excellent job explaining these, sir. May God continue blessing your ministry and speaking through you.
Great teaching here. Love the way you explain this. We need to hear more about how much these 'churches' take the Bible out of context. Thanks for sharing your information with us.
Sir, love what you do but please be careful of generalizing a body of believers. Not all Charismatics and Pentecostals utilize those particular scriptures in that manner or lack the proper contextual understanding of those scriptures.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump
Then why stay at a prosperity gospel church? Leaving the one I went to was the best decision ever. They think God is supposed to be like an ATM machine.
@@paulv1973 I'm not understanding you line of questioning. Not every Pentacostal or Charismatics are foundationally prosperity churches. Generalizing isn't the answer either. That's what this video. It generalized a group of believers, when there are a spectrum of believers in denomination that don't believe that way.
@@Truthtella Exactly. I'm in Australia. And most of our Pentecostal Churches are basically Evangelical. We are conservative. Though, on my Churches Statement of Faith; it does say (the "only" initial evidence.....). Which I don't agree with.
well, they might not have all of this teachings, maybe just some of them, some more than others, for example in my church nobody forces you to speak in tongues but verses are taken out of context here and there, that doesn't excuse that wrong teachings are happening. Thats why we must discern everything.
Thank you, Allen! I was once fooled by the Pentecostal teaching that the true evidence of the Holy Spirit is thru speaking in tongues. I am so blessed God has delivered me from these destructive teachings and He set me free from ignorance of the Word.
God bless! I’m Pentecostal/evangelical but that’s not a Pentecostal teaching, whatever Pentecostal church or person taught you that was wrong. There are wrong/confused people in every denomination. It’s better to just read the Bible ourselves and if God wishes to give you the gift of speaking in tongues then that is His decision! God bless❤️
Growing up Pentecostal I never have heard of us as humans having the same ability as god to speak things into existence
I haven't heard that in the UPC but there is that teaching commonly from some megachurch quack-preachers. There are also those that believe they can use the "power of faith" to control weather.
I believe in divine healing. I've seen it happen with my own son.

@@forerunnerforjesus1291 Jesus never used scripture to heal. He simply took authority and said a few words. Once he just said go and the demon left. So I agree about the Isaiah scripture. Isaiah is a prophecy about Jesus dying for our sins. I believe if there was people making videos to equipp believers instead of constantly devouring each other over words or even worse thelogy.We are all the body of Christ and we all. have are own part to play. Jesus said the world will hate you if it hates me. So when I see religous people attacking other believers just as the religious people attacked and hated Jesus because he healed the sick and cast out demons, and miracles happened. Makes me want to follow the most hated by the world.
@@binoalab Everything in the bible is directed to me. That's how God speaks to me
@@binoalab the Bible is the True word of God. And is living and active today. God doesn't change ever.
I agree with most of these. What I disagree with is the authority that is in the words you speak. We are carriers of the Holy Spirit and the spirit can work on our behalf. Mark 11:23 says, "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says". Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit". The Holy Spirit also operates through the power of the tongue when casting out demons. Obviously we can't speak something into existence but it seems to me there is power in the tongue to have physical affects.
When GOD speaks, it is done. So it must be GOD that speaks through a Man, then it is done. It is not positive speech, or confessing our godly desires before GOD. Hence, Mk.11:23 was that which Paul claimed to mean 'CHRIST speaking in him'. 2Cor.13:3-5 Whatsoever things CHRIST speaks forth, these will come to pass. CHRIST is the Creator of all things NEW. 2Cor.5:17-18 ; Matt.24:35
@@ngdavid3925 Definitely, it's not to say we have the power to create and bring something into existence. It's more about not giving the devil a chance to use our words against us. When we speak evil the devil will answer what you have spoken by making it happen but when you speak life your giving God the opportunity to show himself in your life. I wish allen would elaborate more instead of just rushing.
@@shio_sakaki_the_legend392
I understand what you are trying to convey. What you mean is 'words of Righteousness' and JESUS taught about it. Matt.12:32-37
However, do not confuse it with 'the words of Faith'. Mk.11:22-24 'Say it and have it'
We were discussing on 'the words of Faith'.
What I was trying to convey was that 'the words of Faith' cannot be plucked from the thin air. These words of Faith must come directly from GOD to our spirit. Then we say it and have it.
I use to believe this to. However I’ve recently came to learn the truth! There is power in the tongue meaning the way you talk to others could hurt or lift someone up. But to Name it and Claim is such a false idea of what the scriptures meant! Not only that It’s replacing God to say if you put it out there then God will respond. You could pray silently in your mind or any way of communication with God & guess what if it aligns with his will or is he please to he will give you it or Not.
This is so hurtful to the churches because it make people who are ill or sick that’s there something wrong with them or they don’t have enough faith because they are being healed even though they are using all the authority of words.
Also a lot of pagan religions & new age practice that so I’d be careful of that one..
@@briannamallory5067 Well I don't want to be so arrogant as to believe I could not be wrong. In your understanding though, how do you explain healings and the casting out of demons? I understand not everyone believes the holy spirit operates though us this way anymore so I will just refer to the early church. Did they not speak and people were healed? Did they not command demons to leave the body in which they inhabited? Also, how do you explain Mark 11:23?
Yeah i am a pentecostal..and im careful now in watching videos like yours..whenever i watch..i base them from reading bible..God bless
I'm a born again Christian, and that's why I ask for wisdom, and study God's word for myself, I feel platform's like this can be better use to bring delivery to so many people that are hurting today than talking about churches and religious beliefs, that's just my 2cents
Habakkuk 2:2 "write the vision and make it plain" that is so out of context the way people preach it. it's not your vision, it's the vision he gave to Habakkuk about judgement and he wanted people to carry it on to let them know what was to come
Many Christians that I've talked to are bored. They say things like "I cant evangelize like others and other than that, theres nothing to do". We were made to serve, which is why Christian's lose some to islam. They keep them busy and devout through works. We have to encourage eachother to study and know scripture.

I do however agree with the content presented in this video. That's my personal conviction on the matter. We can respectfully agree to disagree on this topic.

Thank you so much for making this video. I grew up charismatic and attended a Pentecostal Holiness church growing up. All of these verses we used in the exact way you described. I was finally ministered to after a couple years of deep fellowship with a Pastor and his wife that ministered to the military and their families. I'm hoping now that God will use me to witness to my family and maybe I can work up the courage to share this video with them. I don't want to scare them away or make them feel like I'm better then them. After all, I can't speak ill against "God's anointed."
Its more important that we read the bible in context than just read the bible.
I'm so passionate about this topic! Thank you for speaking about this!
Thank you for dealing with that 1st scripture from the get go....I was in a church that did exactly that...when the things "I spoke into being" did not take place and my world fell apart, I was so confused and I blamed God and my faith was shaken. By God's Grace, He has been with me every step of the way. I still have friends tell me, my life is the way it is because "I don;t speak the things into my life"...it still hurts. Thank you for teaching Truth.
The Berean Christians checked out for themselves whenever Paul preached to them and Paul commended them for doing so . It is our responsibility to develop our relationship with the Lord .Thats why its a personal relationship . Read His word and learn from Him by the Holy Spirit (Our Teacher) . a Blessed word Alan . Praise God.
holy spirit says his second claim is false
Thank you so much Alan you answered some questions for me that I had. God spoke to me through you today
Yes, you are 💯 right, these Pentecostals, Charismatics, etc, take so many verses out of context and mislead. they'll say whatever they feel.
So it is advisible to pray and Study word by word and seek the Lord's l help to understand, comprehend and discern.
Thank you, brother Allen! Let the TRUTH reign!
I absolutely love this channel. Thank You Pastor Parr for explaining the scriptures of the Bible. I always look forward to your videos. I have learned so much from you. God bless you.
I became saved in 1984. Unfortunately I was taught if you didn't speak in tongues you were not saved. It took years for me to learn that this is not sound doctrine. I have not idea who this brother but just in the two days I have consistently listened to him he is correct. I thank him.

My boyfriends family is 100% Pentecostal and when I try to point things out to them they get very defensive . I even had a talk w the pastors wife and then the next Sunday they had a sermon talking about speaking in tongues and then she tried to get me to the altar so the pastor could lay hands on me so I guess I could speak but I didn’t go because it felt forced and I know God would not want to force anything . Anywho this has been a top question for me , thank you for clarifying !
God bless! That’s very strange, I’m Pentecostal/evangelical I go to Church of God of the Prophecy and stuff like that is clearly wrong, I just hope you don’t think we are all like that or believe those things, there are false teachers and prophets and people who are in the wrong in every denomination of Christianity!

@@jenellemelendez2521 yes my discernment kicks in heavy everytime I hear his family talk about certain biblical things . Always turning to the Bible for clarification.

Again another one of your videos have made scripture much more clearer to someone who wants to understand the Bible better! Thankyou so much!
To be honest, those false teachings by charismatic preachers depressed me, because I believed those teachings but never saw the manifestation of my faith in them. I believed the Word of God so wrongly. At some point I thought God hated me because even though I was praying with His "word", it never manifested the way I interpreted it. Now I know why. BTW, *new sub* ❤
Sorry sister, everyone has been through that. But the word of God is living. When it comes to your spirit, it carries some form of power. I also got so many bad results until the understanding came to me one day, the bible says, you have been given a measure of faith. Given not you should have, you have been given. Am telling, the faith I had when God healed my GERD, food intolerances and ulcers ,I knew this wasn't me because the word of God is living. It is that powerful , I saw my self being continuously motivated to believe that I was healed even when I had symptoms and pain but I never changed my confession until the manifestation came eventually.. Now I am very healthy, did some tests and the doctor was like wow, and yet just a few months ago I hated my life and all medications just couldn't help much. Remember, faith is the substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of the things not seen. You want to get something but you cannot see the evidence, again it's not by our might or strength. That's why we need his strength, that's why the Bible says his strength shines in our weakness. Remember this verse, *Christ is the author and finisher of our faith*. When you come to that revelation, you will realize that it's nothing about you but everything about him... God bless you sis, ask for understanding, don't ask for anything now but ask understanding and he will help you understand.... that's what we all need, not us to interpret things our way, the spirit is there for a reason that's why Christ had to ascend so that we might receive the helper the one who will teach us all things....I WONT SAY MORE BUT TALK TO THE SPIRIT , YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW HE WILL RESPOND TO YOU
Wow! Just, WOW!
I seen physical healings when believers COMMANDED backs to be straightened, legs to extend, etc. It is now impossible for me to believe their words did not carry authority.
Have also been through deliverance and watched others get delivered. Heard the masculine voice of a demon speak through a woman, then watched a female deliverance minister tell the demon to set down and shut up, in the name of Jesus. Guess what! The person that had that demon immediately went to the ground and cowered in fear. But more importantly, the demon in that woman OBEYED, feared and caused the woman to cower. Many, many more examples could I give.
The basic takeaway heard from the teaching in this video is: you are a powerless weakling of a christian. You are only allowed to love and that's as far as it goes. Exercise any power and authority that you THINK God MAY have given you and you are crossing a line that you have no right to cross. So, go sit in the corner, zip your lip and don't even think about fighting against the kingdom of darkness because you are forbidden. Only God Has that right.
You know, that's EXACTLY what satan would want a True Follower of Christ to believe.
What happened to Luke 10:19 where we have been given all power over the enemy?
What happened to "ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Acts 1:8.
Last time I checked 1 Corinthians 4:20, the kingdom of God comes not in word, but in power.
This video attempts to dismantle that power from every angle.
As a child of God, the Word of God tells you who you are, what rights you have and that you are AUTHORIZED by God to EXERCISE those rights.
Right off the bat, the devil will start discrediting your identity.
It is up to each of you individually to decide on who is correct - God or satan?
I, for one, choose not to run around in a pink tutu, wielding a foam sword, calling myself a soldier for Christ. The battle has gotten too intense for that, folks.
Don't be deceived!
Beautiful! Thank you. 🙏
@Floppy Nation Hope I'm not just preaching to the choir here...
If we just remained silent, we would be defenseless and satan knows this. We are NOT to give opportunity to the devil (Ephesians 4:27)
The heavens and earth were spoken into existense and held together by the Words that God spoke. Psalm 33:6-9. We are made in the image and likeness of God. Gen 1:26-27.
Our words have power LIKE God, but NOT EQUAL to God in strength.
Jesus said we can move mountains and bring things to pass (that we SAY), if we will believe and continue to speak them. Mark 11:22-24.
Jesus says if any two will touch and agree on anything they ASK (speak), it shall be done for us by the Father. Mathew 18:18, but it has to be in line with His Character/Word, because the Father doesn't do things that are against His Word.
The above then begs the question, If we touch and agree (speak) on what God has already said in His Word, doesn't that make two of us (us and God)?
Ask and it shall be given. How do we request God to give us (fill us with) His Holy Spirit? We ask. Luke 11:9-13. Our tongue has Power of life and death. Proverbs 18:21.
Jesus was revealed to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8. And when He returns, He will strike down the nations with a Sword from his mouth (His Words) Rev 19:15.
We can receive that same power to team up with Jesus (although He is more than capable by Himself) to beat back and destroy the kingdom of darkness Acts 1:8
Ask God to give you His Spirit. After He does, you will know it and you will have received power. This power allows us to overcome ALL of the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19.
We read God's Word and repeat (speak) what His Word says about us (I'm more than a conqueror through Christ, God has given me All power over the enemy). We repeat (speak) what He has said about the kingdom of darkness (he and his kingdom are already defeated Colossians 2:15, Rev 12:9). God will point you to more scriptures He wants you to speak, if you'll ask.
God put His Words in Jeremiah's mouth in Jeremiah 1:9. There should be no reason why a soldier for Christ can't pray out loud, "God, fill my mouth with Your Words that You want me to speak to your sons and daughters. God, fill my mouth with Your Words that You want me to speak against every agent of darkness."
Does the devil believe in the power of words? You'd better believe that he does.
He is always trying snatch the Words of the kingdom of God from those that don't immediately understand them (Mathew 13:19.) Why? Because if he left those words these individuals alone with those words long enough, they just might perceive what those words mean, pick them up and apply them against his kingdom, like a Sword.
That would bring satan some real pain, destruction and defeat. But understand, He's not going to take that idly, setting down in a corner and keeping his mouth shut. He will fight back, so we always have to cling to God while we are doing this.
We are in a fight between the Kingdom of Light and kingdom of darkness. WE ARE THE THING THAT IS BEING FOUGHT FOR.
It's time to team up with God and reclaim the territory that the devil stole. We can do this by reinforcing (speaking forth) His Word.
Don't let another person's voice tell you that you don't have this right. That is the voice of an enemy.
Know the Voice of the Lord and follow Him. John 10:27.
The above is akin to Jesus giving us the keys to a steamroller to roll over Satan's kingdom. But the question is, will we place the keys in the ignition, put the vehicle in gear and drive forward? Or will we bury those keys (His Words) in the ground and walk away? 🔑 🔑 🔑
@Resurrected Eyes Hello!!!
That was good that was and is true praise his holy name fight the good fight .god bless you and I hope everyone can read your reply...
Well, I just spent 5 minutes I can’t get back, responding to this ridiculous video teaching, only to find your response and realize I could have just deferred to what you shared. Well said - clearly you are guided into all truths by the same power who resurrected Christ from death. It’s as though guys like this believe Jesus came to this earth, not to demonstrate how we are to live, the power and authority we have, but simply to tease us and keep us from these same miracles. And, when pastors say “Yes God heals, but not everyone” that’s essentially saying His word is a lie, where it says “He is no respecter of persons”. It is truly baffling how people choose to read the word with their own intellect and understanding (as the word clearly says not to do), instead of allowing Holy Spirit to open their eyes and hearts to receive. Sadly, it’s robbing people of a blessed life, keeping them from learning the truth just as Satan intended, and is as destructive as the “Grace doctrine” that teaches people they are saved no matter what they do or how they live.
Very well taught I must say! And that losing and binding, wow I did not know it to be taught like that. I just checked out a couple commentaries to confirm what you were saying and that is so true! Thank God this has been clarified to me that it wasn’t authority given to the 12 and as you said it’s for the behaviour in the church, meaning forbidding and permitting so grateful for this revelation because for years I believed it to be the other way and I don’t wanna say that I was given up on the word but things that were being so called find it in my life we’re still taking place! And although the Lord shown me characters about myself in these times that had to be changed or had to be recognized and confessed to him for a change to be brought about I didn’t even realize it was him showing me the things he was going to permit and the things he was forbidding in myself being a part of His body, the church! HALLELUJAH praise Jehovah God for revelation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good job Brother 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
“That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were sick. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.””
Matthew 8:16-17
If Isaiah 53 doesn’t not speak about physical healing too, why Matthew said it does?
Not sure of some interpretation and expounding here like the 'binding'
@@lorettabandes4024 where exactly can it fit in this passage?
@@RomanVasylenko888 Aman. This is the scripture that is just ground breaking regarding this matter. It proves that healing is the part of atonement.
Thank you so much gor bringing this into light. I just checked my Bible and you are correct. I almost believed what he said.
