Exhibit AKey Evidence
- Todd Bentley tells, in his own words, of a night he says twenty-five demons were cast out of him. He says an audible voice told him to say he had a demon, that a power rose "through my flesh, not my spirit," and that he kept saying "I love Jesus" the whole time.
- Can both be true? Scripture says no.
- A house filled with the Holy Spirit cannot share company with darkness. Much of this teaching traces back to Pigs in the Parlor (Frank & Ida Mae Hammond, 1973).
- Believers face a real enemy, but being opposed from the outside isn't being owned on the inside. Test everything by the Word.
