Hill & Kilpatrick Fleece the Flock

Pastor John Kilpatrick and evangelist Steven Hill of the Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida, have been charged by the Pensacola News Journal of lying, misusing funds, breaking tax laws and fleecing church members to build expensive mansions.

The PNJ also named two other pastors of Pensacola who helped fleece the flock. Mike Brown and Lindell Cooley helped Hill and Kilpatrick make astronimcal profits from the sale of merchandise. It claims that the church gives a mere 2 percent of its $6.6 million dollar budget to missions and the pastors keep its records secret. Reporters have also dug up
evidence that the so-called revival was not spontaneous, but a strategy cooked up by Kilpatrick to become rich and famous.

Hill claims he was a drug addict and a convict with 13 arrest before he was saved, but reporters can only find a record of four arrests. The only evidence they could find of his abuse of drugs was a claim by his mother andsister that he took drugs in his teens. David Wilkerson, founder of Teen Challenge, claims Hill is a recovered drug addicted of Teen
Challenge. He enrolled in 1976.

Charisma magazine investigated the charges and learned that the church records are secret, but that Kilpatrick gets only $73,600 a year in salary and is limited to another $100,000 in book and video royalties. It also found that in 1996 the church gave 18% to missions, including Steve Hill's Together in the Harvest Ministry.

Assemblies of God officials have vouched for Kilpatrick and Hill saying they are men of integrity and "that they have their financial house in order." (Charisma, January 1998, pp. 16,17)

I cannot be certain but it is my best guess the newspaper reports are accurate and Kilpatrick and Hill are crooks. I am certain that if they are saved, which I seriously doubt, they are apostate as all pentecostals and charismatics are.

There will be no revival prior to the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. The Bible makes it clear that there will be a great apostasy instead (2 Thes. 2.3; 2 Tim. 4.3,4).

Aglow International

Women's Aglow, the female counterpoint to the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship, is going international.

It recently changed its name to Aglow International to reach all the feminists of Earth. "Aglow members were influenced powerfully by feminism, which little by little convinced them they did not always have to submit to their husbands..." (Dallas Morning News, 11-22-97). In 1995 Aglow boss said there should be "mutual submission" in a marriage.

Aglow has been an ecumenical business since it was founded. "It has been our joy to walk hand in hand with our Catholic sisters around the world," said Aglow boss (Charisma, 11-85). [Plains Baptist Challenger, 1-98, p. 7 - http://www.llano.net/baptist]

Aglow International is a business that was started by the devil to unite the women of the world just as the FGBMF, Promise Keepers, and myriad other ecumenical business were created by him to help usher in his New World Nightmare.

Females have no Biblical basis to start a religious business. They are to be in submission to their husbands at all times (Eph. 5.22) and stay at home taking care of their family. If they want to serve the Lord they can do their job at home and whatever their bishops ask them to do in the local assembly as long as it is Scriptural.

This abominable business and all other businesses of so-called "sisters" in the Lord are a symptom of the apostasy of the last days. The ecumenical movement and charismatic/pentecostal movement, which encourage women to rebel, is a grievous wound in the Assembly that is killing it.

Robertson Says Believers Must Unite

In his last message to the 600 people who attended the Bill Bright Fasting and Prayer Conference in November, Pat Robertson said God will not heal the land until the church became united in one goal.

Pat emphasized the need for believers to stop ripping apart other's doctrines. Others featured at the event were Adrian Rogers, Tony Evans, and Kay Arthur. (Plains Baptist Challenger, Dec. 1997, p. 8 - http://www.llano.net/baptist)

Bright, Rogers, Evans and Arthur are apostate ecumenicalists who are leading pseudo-believers into the arms of the beast and the false prophet. It's hard to know if they are born from above.
