T.D. Jakes and World Cup Fan Wannabes
Breaking News
Have you checked Ninetyandnine's cover this week: Pentecost Sunday Jubiliation with Bishop T.D. Jakes? Exciting news from New York. In stark contrast to the many who did not recognize Pentecost Sunday, Brooklyn's New Life Tabernacle held a Holy Ghost crusade with tag-team preaching from Rev. Doug Klinedinst and Bishop T.D. Jakes. Approximately 500 people received the Holy Ghost!
Professional... Fan?
Northern Neighbor spotted a fun story of a regular joe who has turned being a fan into a career. Because of his extreme exuberance and talent at working a crowd, Cameron Hughes makes a living as a professional fan. He is hired by sports teams to turn into a cheering machine and get the crowd into games.
I found it interesting that Hughes is turning profit on something that he admits to having no emotional connection to. I couldn't help but think of the crazed World Cup fans Bradley notes in his coverage at Collideoscope. In deference to Bradley's re-engineered version of soccer, I vote that a special fan contest be created. Match up the most passionate of the world's soccer fans against the so-called professional fan, and let's so who can get the craziest. Bonus points to any fan who can work duct tape into their cheering routine.

Can I pose a question? okay thanks for asking :)
Why did this church get applause for having a non-Apostolic preacher preach the message of Pentecost?
Quoting from the article: "Bishop Jakes is an anointed Man of God that the Lord granted us favor to attend and be a blessing to our church. He was a drawing card for the masses to come from everywhere. All that mattered was that people were receiving the Holy Ghost by speaking with other tongues. Bishop Jakes preached it right and as a result, many were filled. We say thanks be to God for all the marvelous things that he has done."
Would we have the same opinion if the Pope read Acts 2:38 and people fell out in the Holy Ghost?

Though TD Jakes is not UPCI, he is Apostolic in message. He believes in the Oneness of God (and has been criticized for it by mainstream Christianity) and baptizes in the name of Jesus.

Here is another article that warns others about the "heretical" connections TD Jakes has with the UPCI and Oneness Pentecostalism.
