In addition the Bible talks about in the end times the world will get worse and there will be an apostate church. Those in the prophetic movement speak of the opposite. They claim they will rule the world bringing God Kingdom on earth without the physcial reigning of Jesus.

I think most folk around here frowned on Todd Bently's actions before his problem came out....
Now some did suggest that God did in deed work in those meetings in spite of Todd Bentley... but I think the vast majority here was very uncomfortable with what he is...
I have been speaking kind of "for the forum" to this point. I have tried to give the broad answers on all this. Hopefully I have done a good job with that.
Let me say that in general the Charismatic movement doesnt really fit with a lot of Apostolics. In fact the word "Apostolic" as used here, is a way to identify us as a different group from other Pentecostals.
Some of us will use that term "Charismatic" as a near pergoritive. (we dont really like what they do at all).... and some here have been accused of "going charismatic"
Those that get accused of it, dont like it. Those that do the accusing dont like what they are doing... LOL! I guess its kind of an inside (not so funny) joke.
On a personal level, I dont get two hoots and a holler about Todd Bently. I didnt before his issues surfaced and I certainly dont now. Dude needs a real dose of the Holy Ghost....which I personally dont think he ever got in the first place. They guy was always a snake oil salesman. period.
some here might take issue with that assessment, but I think a lot would agree.
search the main forum for Bently's name. you will find some discussion.
