Getting wasted with the Holy Spirit at Bethel Redding

In part 2 of a series Holly Pivec of Spirit of Error penned on Bethel Redding’s Firestarters course, we were alerted to Bethel Church’s attempt to draw people into the world of the occult by teaching participants how to “burn with passion for God.” In this installment Pivec reveals that students were taught to imagine themselves holding a huge bottle of wine and encouraged to “get drunk.”  This is no joke, brethren.  She witnessed this bizarre behavior and shares what she saw:

When I recently attended the Firestarters adult Sunday School class at Bethel Church in Redding, California, I was shocked by the teacher’s announcement at the start of the class. “There are only three rules in this class. Rule 1: Get drunk. Rule 2: Stay drunk. Rule 3: Get other people drunk.”

Those are not exactly words you expect to hear at a church. Yet the encouragement to ”get drunk” was a theme that ran through the entire two-hour class.

“Let’s get drunk. Let’s enjoy ourselves,” the teacher said. He also told the students, who were standing at the time, to hold out their hands in the air in front of their bodies to form the outline of imaginary, huge bottles of “heavenly wine,” then pretend to chug from them. Many of the students responded gleefully to the teacher’s directions. They acted as if they were actually drunk – laughing uncontrollably, staggering, and some even falling down. One middle-aged woman, at a table near mine, lay back in her chair, as if passed out, for much of the class.  Continue reading

    Ephesians 5:18

    And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess (debauchery); but be filled with the Spirit;

    It shows where Bethel is spiritually and where it’s headed! No true Christian has a reason to be there! Do not partake of the wickedness in Bethel!

    Realizing the difficulty of asking the question, please consider it:

    How is this not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit?

    If the answer is “yes” (and I believe it is) the result for those involved and especially those that teach this lie are final, without recourse or appeal, hell awaits.

    But God is faithful and will deliver His elect from ever being caught up in this junk theology in the first place.
