Re: Everything you need to know about Lampstand Churches™
The doctrine of planting is completely made up. There is nothing in the new testament about being planted. At a stretch you can possibly use the story of Abraham being called to resettle in a foreign country but that is a very specific circumstance and should not be used as a justification to keep p...

Re: Mrs. Hall meets Jesus
do you have a PDF Seeker? Poor Loraine, She only got to rub shoulders with Jesus. Unlike Vic who seems to have dinner with Abraham, Moses, Enoch, Elijah and Melchizedek on the frequent. She must feel left out. Without reading too far into this, the first line, "Serious Medical Emergency" h...

Re: Dispensationalism Star Messengers and Present Word
my final encounter with Tim Maurice was the following conversation. "You blindly follow a man who claims to be god. There is a medical term for that, schizophrenia. You brag about your intelligence but out of the two of us I'm not the one who listens to the deluded ramblings of someone with sch...

Re: Dispensationalism Star Messengers and Present Word
It was something that made my brain really hurt trying to keep up with. I'm going from my memory so please bear with me. The theology of the lampstand went through various changes. Initially CF as a whole was a singular lamp. then they became a branch with the buds on the branch all representative o...

Re: Updating Vic Hall's Latest Heresies
Hi Guest, My experience is that if you were apart of CF and leave and go to another church you are still considered 'unclean, fallen, living a life of sin, wolf in sheeps clothing, demonic' (yes all of these accusations and others have been thrown my way). There are 2 problematic theologies they hol...

Re: Elijah ministry
Its such the irony at the time when the Christian world is celebrating the birth of Jesus once again there is so much emphasis on old testament prophets. How many different names can we come up with Abrahamians Mosesians Elijahians Paulians ECT ECT What if they started looking at CHRIST as their exa...

Re: Trauma:How can this be of God?
Hi Stargazer, Welcome. The short answer to your question is that BCF and affiliated groups are a cult. You are right not to call BCF a church as there is nothing christian about the group or their teachings. The CF group has not tried to grow for a very long time and has relied heavily on children b...

ongoing rejection
Friends, I am writing this as I don’t know where else to really turn. The price of leaving CF is high. It is drilled into us before we even consider leaving. When we do leave excommunication is swift and sharp leaving us without our families, friends and communities. You are made and example of as t...

The Insidious Harm of Spiritual Abuse
Spiritual abuse—which is the manipulation and exploitation of others by the misuse of spiritual privilege and power—is a well documented problem in the mind controlling cults and sects of Australia. Unfortunately, as many battered Christians have discovered, its negative effects may also be found i...
