Behaving like a cult does not convince one of John Wimber's greatness ;)<br /><br />Research Section (In Progress, More to Come):<br />https://william-branham.org/site/research/people/john_wimber<br /><br />More About Christian Identity and the NAR:<br />https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br /><br />John Wimber's influence on charismatic Christianity was vast, integrating spiritual gifts such as healing and prophecy with church growth strategies. His teachings emphasized the "naturally supernatural," advocating for the incorporation of spiritual gifts into everyday life without theatrical displays. As a co-founder of the Vineyard Movement, Wimber's workshops attracted thousands, focusing on practical applications of ministry. However, his legacy, while celebrated by some, is contentious. His role in shaping Kingdom Now theology and connections to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) have drawn criticism, particularly regarding the rewriting of his history by his followers and the influence of figures like C. Peter Wagner.<br /><br />Wimber's association with questionable figures and movements such as William Branham, the Latter Rain, and later, the Kansas City Prophets, introduced problematic elements into charismatic Christianity. His promotion of these controversial figures, including Paul Cain, whose prophecies failed, tainted his legacy. Although he later distanced himself from certain aspects, critics argue that his earlier endorsements led to the continued rise of extremism in the NAR. The question remains whether his impact was ultimately beneficial or harmful to the faith.<br /><br />00:00 Introduction <br />00:15 Wimber’s Influence on Charismatic Ministry <br />01:40 The Rise of Personality Cults and Historical Revisions <br />02:21 C.
