i live in europe and i'm going to a rccg church. few months ago we went to a mfm church that is near to our house; but one thing is not ok in my mind about this churches: the prayer time. i can't enjoy the prayer time becuse for me is like the cursing time, and i can't say Amen to it. All this prayers with backfire this and backfire that, let my enemy die, let your fire consume them, etc, it's not making any sense to me, not in christian way. Is like another gospel is proclaim there, not the Gospel of Christ, who said to pray for and bless your enemies. so i told my husband about it, and he told me that i'm too behaind with my faith and i don't know what prayer means and he gave me some examples from old testament. that's ok, but where is the grace? i grew up in a christian family; part of my family was persecuted because of their faith in Christ, during comunism time, but i never heard someone in my family to speak bad about their persecutors, never; instead they where always praying for them and asked God to open their eyes to see the truth and to be saved.
So what you guys think about this "new christianity"?

"And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

And they went to another village." (Luke 9:54-56).

I do shake my head literally when I read stories like this about some churches. That's why I said then and I say now, I hate religious and religious people but I love the finished products (Christian) of Christ which is the true meaning of CHRISTianity.

holypower: "And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

Many Christians are practicing "follow-follow" instead of practicing Christianity of Christ. Christ is the mediator of the new covenant and as such, we we saw him doing all through the four gospels was to establish what is to be carried on into the new covenant after his death. The ^^^ scripture is a foundation for the new testament Christianity.

I wonder if MFM reads scriptures like the above and still say they follow Christ and not the religion of the old covenant. Come to think of it, when they are challenged, they will say it is "spiritual" fire because their weapon of warfare is not "physical" and they don't fight physical battle but "spiritual". Ladies and Gentlemen, how come the fire Elijah called down was literal and physical to consume the enemies? Ever since MFM had being calling down fire on their enemies, how come there's never been a physical and literal manifestation of fire as they often cite old testament example to back up their "fire come down" prayers?

Friends, Christ didn't come to extend the Old covenant but to bring to us a "new way" completely different from the old covenant way. Such practice of calling down fire on enemies is completely foreign to the Christianity of the early church and not of Christ. Remember, we were once an enemy of God too, had God reigned fire on us, what will be of us today?
