10 Qs with Mike Winger: Are Child Preachers Biblical? (Ep 57)
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
1. 0:10 {Child Preachers: Biblical?} Are “child preachers” biblical?2. 15:29 {Expository Teaching: Biblical?} I asked a pastor at my former church why they chose to teach in a topical style rather than expository. He said we do not see examples of expository teaching in the Bible. Is this true, and a good reason?3. 26:50 {Baptism for the Dead?} Does 1 Corinthians 15:29 give validity to the Mormon practice of getting baptized for the dead?4. 34:14 {Struggling with Sexual Temptations} I struggle with same-sex attraction, unfortunately. How can I be sure that I’m not reprobate/unregenerate? The idea of evanescent grace scares me.5. 42:44 {Apostles vs. Disciples?} Does it matter whether I refer to Jesus' followers as the 12 Apostles or the 12 Disciples?6. 43:23 {Sheep, Goats & The Rapture} Have you considered the sheep and goat judgment of Matthew 25 in light of the timing of the Rapture? The Rapture HAS to be before the tribulation in order for the Earth to be repopulated.7. 47:24 {Having the Gift of Prophecy} How does a Christian know if they have the gift of prophecy?8. 49:35 {Does God Choose to Love Us?} Does God choose to love us? If He Himself is love and He can't help but love us, why should we feel honored by it? Doesn't that take away the meaningfulness of it?9. 52:28 {The Fear of Failing} I’m afraid I’ll sin or lead myself away from God if I make the wrong decisions about personal convictions, theology, and even daily choices. How should I deal with the fear of being wrong?10. 55:38 {Divination Worked: Am I Unsaved?} A man who practices divination visited and gave info about me that was about 60% correct. Does this mean I’m not saved if his spells seemed to work on me?

How victims are demonized: Bob Hazlett, Cindy Jacobs
Sorry for the abrupt ending to this video. I was genuinely just saddened by this garbage. I've had some time to think it over and I am going to put this video on more than just X. It seems like a good example of Cover-up Culture and I am hoping that Cindy or Mike Jacobs, or Bob or Erica Hazlett may actually consider these things and realize they have been part of the problem. It would be awesome to see them admit it and make changes!
Friends, the problem of Cover-up Culture in charismatic churches is even worse than I thought a month ago. Here's a simple example of how leaders give an imbalanced response to accountability and further promote Cover-up Culture in the name of seeking the well-being of others. It's so incredibly harmful!
You can watch the full, original video from Cindy Jacobs right here.

False Prophetess and Blasphemer defends her brother, Mike Bickle.
They are trying to put Mike Bickle back in ministry and using false prophecy to do it! This is bad.
I know my words here are harsh. They need to be. If we respond too gently to this stuff, people will be lulled to sleep.
I hate making these videos but believe they are needful.

Reading all of Psalm 119 for your edification
Delight in God's Word.
This reading is from the NET Bible. Unlike most translations, the NET allows for people to use it as much as they want without worrying about getting special permissions for quoting long sections. This is why I'm using it here. The copyright warnings of most modern translations forbid me from making this kind of video without approval from the publisher.
