My friend and colleague, Luke Geraty recently (4/22/24) posted on X (i.e., "the Social Media platform formerly known as Twitter" - sorry Elon, sorry Prince) some thoughts on John Wimber along with some of his concerns about problematic theology and abuses within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.
I wrote on this topic I was on staff at Anaheim Vineyard in 1989-1993 when Bickle was being accepted. It was a nightmare. My point in my post is that if the fruit is bad, "abuse etc" then the tree (the theology) is bad. https://bradhightower.substack.com/p/you-know-a-tree-by-its-fruit-mike
