What is Speaking in "Tongues?"
Discussion with Ken LaPrade (former "tongue" speaker) and Clare McNaul (former "demon" speaker) about what speaking in "tongues is, and what it is not.
KEN: I first began "speaking in tongues" in late June, 1972, after attending a Charismatic Catholic meeting and getting excited about seeing a group of about 500 folks sort of chanting melodiously "in tongues" altogether. This was about a week after having stood up in a crowd to respond to Billy Graham's "altar call" regarding John 3:16. The young lady who had invited me to the Charismatic meeting showed me the record in Acts 2 (Pentecost) and told me that (the speaking in different languages) what was happening at the meeting. {By the way, I had not yet read 1st Cor. 14:23 which indicates that if a congregation all speaks tongues simultaneously, folks will say they are mad.)
Within a few months of this time, I had enthusiastically bought into the Way International's (or Wierwille's) exuberant explanations about tongues, and at some level I stuck with that way of thinking for 45 years. In 2017, I decided to restudy the whole subject carefully with a discerning attitude, and I began to doubt the use of "tongues" as a tool in my private prayer life. I stopped the "tongues" practice after assessing that I had been speaking gibberish (both publicly and privately) for 45 years. This was about two years after getting baptized in 2015. I feel now that I am not being deceived emotionally by an addictive, man-made counterfeit of the real (unknown/ foreign) language practice of Acts and 1st Corinthians.
Leaving "The Way Ministry"" was kind of a slow, convoluted experience. After Wierwille's 1985 death, (about a year later) a minister named Chris Geer challenged the top Way leaders, using documentation of his final, personal conversations with Wierwille, before his death. These top leaders (including president Craig Martindale) admitted to having been unfaithful to Wierwille's principles and were very apologetic for a while. By 1989, Martindale changed his mind and boldly challenged us (as graduates of the Way Corps - leaders) to choose whether we "stood" with him or with Chris Geer (then living in Scotland.) By not being "yes men" to this request, we (me included) were officially booted out of Way. So, except for what I later read in The Cult that Snapped, I have no real knowledge of The Way International after 1989.
So, I drifted among different ex-Way associations for years, culminating with some friendships involving Vince (the dad - a prominent Way leader in earlier years) and Sean Finnegan in New York; (Living Hope is really an ex-Way organization.) Some of them began to question certain aspects of Way dogma in a way that was truly helpful to me, and they were eventually influenced by Anthony Buzzard to begin considering Kingdom truths.
Eventually, (in 2015 and afterwards) it was hard for me to try to communicate and to juggle certain clear beliefs (like the continued, adamant rejection of baptism - by some), with my growing knowledge of Kingdom truths, so I pretty much lost contact with the Living Hope group as a whole (despite some continued, friendly communications with a few.)
So, there has been a difference between my very abrupt 1989 dismissal from The Way, and my very gradual deliverance from Way dogma and deceptive influences.
CLARE: Fellowship with demons during her 27 years of participation in the occult has given Clare McNaul both personal experience and a deeper understanding of the subtlety with which the demons tempt mankind into deception. Before coming to Christ Clare received and spoke many messages from the demons and was witness to tongues of demons (glossolalia) being spoken through mediums during spiritual / trance channeling, shamanic, pagan and other practices.
Though well behind her now, her years in the occult have given Clare the perspective to recognize that much of what is called the gift of tongues being practiced and encouraged in the church today is exactly the same as that which she’s seen spoken through people by demon spirits. She firmly believes that tongues must be approached with caution and discernment, as believers actively seeking after this gift can be unwittingly led away from God and into idol worship and apostasy. Clare rigorously adheres to the Scriptures regarding all things, including the gift of tongues and urges other believers and churches to do the same.

Climate Anxiety
Climate Anxiety...Should we worry about climate change? Or should we be more concerned about changing ourselves?
If people think the earth is getting warmer now, wait until the whole earth will be cleansed by fire. Recycling won't help. Electric cars won't help.
The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel! (Mark 1:15)
For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (life in the coming age). (John 3:16)

Baptism In the Name of Jesus (or Father, Son, & Holy Spirit)
Baptism in the NAME of Jesus, or in the name of the Father. Son, and holy spirit?
Do people usually ask, what formula was used at your baptism? Was it the words used or the way the baptism was done that which untied you with Christ? Or was it your mind - understanding who Jesus was and is and what he taught, and your heart, with your mind desiring to die to self and follow this Jesus? Were you simply obeying and being baptized as he said.
Today we are going to take a look at Christian baptism. Our focus will be on how it is done and why, and if it matters what is said.
Why Matt 28:19 is neither a Trinitarian Formula nor a Corruption: https://thehumanjesus.org/2022/04/05/matt-2819-is-neither-a-trinitarian-formula-nor-a-corruption/

Israel and Palestine - What's Next? (2023 "Wars & Rumors of Wars")
The war in Israel and Palestine is causing many people to ask, what's next? There continue to be "wars and rumors of wars" as Jesus prophesied. People question if the end of the age is near. There is fear and uncertainty, even among those professing to follow Christ.
In this video I just share a few thoughts off the cuff on what is going on and what we have to look forward to, what's next.
Here is the short mentioned in the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/CCehd8qG4_o

Israel (Time is ticking...)
Israel, time is ticking. Israel will not live in peace until they make peace with YHWH and His Messiah Jesus.
For the day of the Lord is approaching for all the nations!
On Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape, and it will be a holy place once again.
(Israel) will take possession...Those who have been delivered will go up on Mount Zion in order to rule over Esau’s mountain. Then the Lord will reign as King! (Obadiah)
One of their own people will be their leader. Their ruler will come from their own number. I will invite him to approach me, and he will do so. Then you will again be my people, and I will be your God. (Jeremiah 30:21-22)
Time is ticking but this is not the end! We must wait for the Abomination of Desolation. (Matthew 24)
"I will make a new covenant with the whole nation of Israel after I plant them back in the land,” says the Lord. “I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts and minds. I will be their God and they will be my people." (Jeremiah 31:31-33)
"Israel" is not yet in the land according to prophecy. YHWH's new covenant law must be written in their hearts and minds. Don't just pray for Israel, pray they would return to YHWH and bend their knees to Messiah Jesus!
The remnant will be grafted back onto the vine and will return and live in the promised land! Come Lord Jesus!

New Age Infiltration: Sorcery and the Occult in the Church: Closing the Doors
New Age Infiltration: Sorcery and the Occult in the Church: Closing the Doors with ex-psychic and New Age Occult practitioner, Clare McNaul.
How to help close doors that have been opened in your life and in the lives of others.
Christians must take an active role in keeping the New Age out of their lives and out of their churches. Light and dark cannot occupy the same space. We either follow Christ or we don’t and we are either faithful or committing adultery.
If we don’t see the deception today, how will we in the end?
(Revelation 13:13-14) He (False Prophet) performed momentous signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth.
(Matthew 24:24) For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Goodness of God (song)
Goodness of God - Song performed by CeCe Winans
I personally have experienced the goodness of God, like oil poured over my head and my heart - through the good and the bad, and the really bad. He is truly faithful. Till my dying breath or until the coming of Christ I will continually offer up to Father a sacrifice of praise, through Jesus, from the fruit of my lips... (Hebrews 13:15) and through the cry of my heart... Abba, Father...
My prayer for you is that you will know the one true God who we can draw near to through His Son Jesus, and that you would experience His peace that goes beyond our understanding, and the healing that nothing else comes close to.
He is there if we seek Him and if we draw near to Him. When we are in pain or broken, He is still faithful and that is when praise is truly a sacrifice - one that He still deserves.
Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. (Luke 18:19)

New Covenant Christianity (When Did It Begin? part 2)
New Covenant Christianity - When Did It Begin?
There seems to be a lot of confusion over new covenant Christianity, the revised and updated law and covenant given to Jesus, compared to the temporary law given to Moses.
Hebrews 8:7-13 tells us that first covenant was not the perfect covenant and that they were anticipating a second one.
It then reminds us that when there is a new covenant it makes the first obsolete. But we see this is a process, it is growing obsolete and in fact it will eventually disappear.

Jesus Has A God
Jesus has a God. He has a human family tree. Jesus prayed to God. He died (and God cannot die.) God raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus went to his Father and God, who is the same Father and God that we have. Jesus will return to the earth after the Great Tribulation and rule with the saints for 1000 years (and Satan is bound during this time.) God comes to earth too, but only AFTER the 1000 years and the Great White Throne Judgment. Jesus is NOT God. Jesus has a God!

Protect the Flocks From Pastor Poo
Protect the flocks from Pastor poo. A little leaven makes the whole loaf rise. Would you drink a glass of water if they told you there was just a little tiny bit of poo in it? Most would say that a little poo ruins the whole glass of water.
If the church or the organization is not protecting you, protect yourself with the holy Scriptures!
How much truth is enough? What would Jesus say?

Is Jesus your mediator? (According to JW.ORG)
Is Jesus YOUR mediator? Or is he “mediator” only for anointed Christians?
According to JW.org, " In this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the “mediator” only for anointed Christians."
LINK to answer: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1979250?q=jesus+as+mediator&p=doc
According to the BIBLE, Jesus is the mediator for ALL people. (1 Timothy 2:5) "There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all."
