Christy Wimber: When healing doesn't happen & Why I closed my church

[@Dave_Williamson]

I don’t believe she stated why she ended her church. If someone can provide solid information about that, please do so here.

[@southernmostrebel]

she is a false prophet like her father . one of the clues is that she says " tjhis is the lord " then satuys " this is PROBIBLY the lord " this cult relies on " i felt god say " mystical feelings cult " stuff " and is ficused on signs and winders which chruist himself warned about . I once used to attend vinyard fairly regularly and ended up smoking pot with other people in the congreagtion . I is aflase church and a sliner off the LSD "church growth " cull Calvalry chapel . thesze cuklts have really hurt my family and even opprerssed people in feorein lands more than i can evcewn begin to explain and the bible does a better job of enumerating how evil they are .

[@Thinkaboutit33]

I was curious as well. We know she announced that she was divorcing Sean and ultimately ended up at Rick Warren's massive Saddleback "Disneyland" Church (a momument to his own glory) so it's obvious, like many others, that she came to realize in the rotten fruit that was Vineyard.

Wow a bunch of proud hard hearted Pharisaical heresy hunters felt an oppressive urge to post on here it seems.

[@lee5802]

your accusation is filled with judgement of others commenting though. You do not know her. Perhaps you should research a bit

[@Pneuma40]

@@lee5802 I have met her and John and their family. Your "research" is third person slander gossip and backbiting which is condemned by the Lord in Scripture. No accusations are to be made against leadership with out two or three witnesses. Started with private and loving correction first. Public repudiation is for moral failures not doctrine disputes.

Beautiful may Christy find His Church.

I still recall Christy believing that a woman in a Duluth, MN Vineyard Church was having her log grown. Of course, it wasn't. Christy Wimber by her gender is not a biblically qualified Elder/Pastor according to Scripture. but it doesn't stop Charismatics and NAR types from being intentionally disobedient.

[@Kenneth-ts7bp]

What's a log?

[@lancemarchetti8673]

wow!

[@BarryNewmanboenairgeez56]

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. What if the use of women as pastors is one of these?

[@ItsAshley08]

This can maybe be true. I have a feeling based on scripture that women should not be pastors over a church. I don't believe in the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans anyway. In Revelation the Lord says he hates the deeds of the Nicolaitans. This is happening in most churches today. Scary. He warns us to repent of it.

[@beaberean3842]

joyinjesus as a woman, I agree with you.

[@swilderspin]

SavedbyGrace As we really don’t know what the doctrine of the Nicolaitians was, it’s probably not useful to speculate.

Women pastors are disapproved of by the New Testament. You are not wrong.

John Wimber was a heretic, no?

no

[@rosebud4957]

No

[@MendedAndWholeLife]

No - he was amazing and a tremendous gift to the body of Christ. Read his paperbacks signs and wonders and power healing. He learned and taught amazing truths.

He also left the movement and started to really read what the Bible taught
