The Long for Truth Show

Many proponents of the Azusa Street Revival claim that mighty miracles took place, including incredible healings and even the appearance of the Shekinah glory during some of the services. And yet the newspapers of the day report an entirely different story. What really took place, revival or frenzy?

Bill Weis claims to have been tormented by demons in hell for 23 minutes.

Here is a very good example of a celebrity pastor taking a few isolated verses of Scripture out of their context in order to make them fit his man-centered, law-filled, non-gospel sermon. Here's the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q92n8WsJg6c

False prophet, Chuck Pierce (who rarely ever makes any sense) says that for some reason or another, Christians need to step into a double portion this election season. Here's the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EGkzdhFibY

The Mountain Meadows Massacre was one of the most gruesome crimes ever committed on U. S. soil. This horrible massacre was committed by high ranking leaders of the Mormon Church. This is the story of that gruesome crime. Here is the link to John D. Lee's book: https://ia800106.us.archive.org/17/items/GR_2441/GR_2441.pdf Here is the link to the article from Newspapers.com: https://www.newspapers.co...

Shaktipat transmission and Charismatic impartation are very similar. In Shaktipat the Guru transmits spiritual energy (Kundalini) to an individual. In Charismatic impartation, the pastor or Christian leader (in this case Randy Clark) is supposedly imparting the Holy Spirit or some spiritual gift to an individual. In both Shaktipat and Charismatic impartation very similar manifestations occur, viol...

This is the first installment of a series on modalism. After making this video I realized that much more needed to be said about modalism and the doctrine of the Trinity. In the next installment, we will take a more in-depth look at these topics and explain why modalism is a dangerous and damning heresy. We start, however, with Furtick and Jakes playing a sermon game where Furtick gets Jakes to pr...

In this episode, we look at a video from Georgian and Winnie Banov as they peddle Winnie’s new book claiming that she has the right interpretation of Romans 7. My apologies up front for the echo in the Banov portion of the video. I hope it’s not too distracting!

Jeremiah 29:11 is probably the most taken out of context verse in the entire Bible. Most Christians who quote that verse remove it from it’s intended meaning, and make it all about them. In this video, I am joined by my brother Steven Long to help me put this verse back into its context and talk about a new blog he created called “Rightly Dividing.” You can find his new site here, https://rightlyd...

In this video, I talk about an early 20th-century faith healer that many may have never heard of. While he wasn't very influential in the early Pentecostal movement, he was influenced by some of its early leaders, especially Charles Fox Parham. His name was Finis E, Yoakum. The feature article that I discuss is a 1909 article from the Los Angeles Times called "No Miracles Without Cash." Here is th...

This is part 3, and the final part of my interview on Gnostic Evangelicalism by the author of "Gnostic America," Pastor Peter Burfeind.

This is part 2 of my interview with Pastor Peter Burfeind, author of the book "Gnostic America."

This is part 1 of an interview with Pastor Peter Burfeind, author of "Gnostic America."

Cal Pierce of the "Healing Rooms Ministries" said that he received direct revelation from God to re-open the John G Lake Healing rooms. He received this revelation while praying at Lake's gravesite, ie, grave sucking. While moving into what he thought was the exact same building that Lake used for his healing rooms, the Holy Spirit told Cal that an angel had been waiting for 80 years for him to co...

It's claimed by Cal Pierce, Roberts Liardon, and others that between 1915 and 1920, John G Lake performed over 100,000 healings and that during this time, Spokane was the healthiest city in the world. In this video, I do some real-time investigation to see if these claims are true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO1pu7I2pik

This is the first installment of a new series called "Death By a Faith Healer." We start with the death of 9-year-old Nettie Smith. Her parents refused her medical care and instead relied on the poisonous doctrines of a faith healer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JqLkbuTBGM

John Alexander Dowie was a popular faith healer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He claimed to have miraculous powers to heal, and yet when his daughter was involved in a tragic accident his powers of healing were nowhere to be found. Here's the link to the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdpjU1MxvBk

The apostle Paul makes it very clear that to add anything to the Gospel of Christ is a damnable offense. Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. By making div...

We continue our series on "Tounges Before Parham. This time we take a look at the tongue-speaking Mormons.

Charles Fox Parham was born on June 4, 1873. He is typically referred to as “the father of Pentecostalism,” particularly teaching that the evidence that one received the baptism of the Holy Spirit was speaking in tongues. But if this is the case, it would mean that other groups before Parham who spoke in tongues had also received the baptism of the Spirit, even heretical groups. And yes, there wer...

We are going to be looking at another news article. This one is from "The Nebraska State Journal," October 9, 1887. In it, the reporter covers a Woodworth healing/revival meeting where he makes this not so surprising statement, "the frenzy and excitement were almost indescribable.” Here is the YouTube link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMU67LigN2g

Maria Woodworth Etter (1844-1924) was a popular evangelist/faith healer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She became popular because of the strange occurrences that took place at her evangelistic meetings. People would go into trances and report seeing strange visions, fall on the floor and lay there for hours, shake violently, cry, weep, and do many other similar things you see in modern...
