Perry STONE: Why I was looking at my phone…
Varnel Watson
Cameron C Smith Todd Griffin Shawn P Brennan Rhonda Santiago Jose Antonio I dont have a dog in this fight but in the said church there are rules and signs Turn your phones OFF – OK the preacher the right reason not too BUT again … speaking in tongues while scrolling on phone is just NOT the right way to do it – wouldnt you agree with that as a basic rule?
Shawn P Brennan
Troy Day and he has that right!!! But he’s the Pastor and if he’s waiting on an update about someone close to him, that was dealing with a health crisis that is his right!!!
And I see no problem with it. But for the record when I’m in service, my phone is off or in airplane mode.
This is another reason why phones should be off, due to tail bearers and busy bodies, that are always lurking for that one misunderstanding.
This is why the church in America is a mess!!
Here is scripture:
Matthew 7:3-5 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Shawn P Brennan how many times have we been in the pulpit with a sick loveone and didnt go around texting? I think this needs to be tested first IMO
Shawn P Brennan
Troy Day tested for what? I know other preachers who have their phones on in case something happens.
To me, people blowing this out of proportion, are acting like a, Pharisee, whole lot of flesh, very little spirit. Smh

Is this any different than speaking in tongues at church and folk interrupt and ask for prayer?
Louise-Cummings.
Thw Scriptures you wrote down. Was true.i didn’t look it up. But every Word , sounded Correct. On
Cameron C Smith
Troy Day He was waiting for his friend to text him back so the group could pray for his wife while she was in speaker phone. It would be one thing if he was just scrolling through Facebook. Him coordinating a phone call for a live prayer is just fine. I pray in tongues and look in my rear view mirror regularly. I would never check the mirror from the pulpit, but it’s just fine to do it in the driver seat to make sure I’m not gonna kill someone.
Billy Jones
Troy Day I would say that most tongues today are probably false the Church is an apostate Church. Christians and preachers, can’t tell their right hand from their left, so this prophecy, is happening now.. BEWARE CHURCH JUDGMENT IS COMING.
Varnel Watson
Mike Partyka as most of your comments in this group what you said was disrespectful and lacking any knowledge of the person You were quick to judge and got what you asked for HOWEVER I agree with you that we ALL need to show more respect in church – especially when in the pulpit especially while praying and especially when in tongues
Varnel Watson
Jim Price Ricky Grimsley is having a heyday I just knowS it He likes Perry because was like him but couldnt cut it Fare enough – now then WHY the mockery of a special message from God and all this and more spiritual than us and all that?
Jim Price
This is another example of why context is so important.
Varnel Watson
@CAMERON KING you pray in tongues and check my phone every day and you are still NOT Perry I have to from a good source that the story was reported to Daily Mail by a good Christian who was praying and checking his phone at the same time
Varnel Watson
Kevin Fernandez Zarif there was NO accusation but an observation The accusation came from a person in the audience who had every right to be upset IMO BUT had NO right to blow it out of proportions and report Perry to the Daily Mail
Varnel Watson
Isara Mo Joe Absher the preacher friend of ours had his lapel mike ON and had to go to the bathroom where promptly thanked God while TCB; well the whole congregation heard him but was forgiving
Varnel Watson
Daniel J Hesse Ray E Horton @JEROME HERRICK Jerome Herrick Weymouth THIS preachers texts in tongues on FB and was broadcasted by charisma mag but yall didnt say nothing then https://www.theblaze.com/news/2011/09/02/ndhdiubgugtrucg-did-televangelist-juanita-bynum-type-in-tongues-on-facebook
Varnel Watson
Shawn P Brennan whats your take on this?
Shawn P Brennan
Troy Day I’ve been to her services, back in the day, which was great. You can never go by what media says, because they misconstrue and skew things according to their beliefs and views.
But to text in tongues, I couldn’t, with me there are boundaries. But remember not all Christians don’t walk in the spirit!!
And the natural man cannot understand the things of the spirit, unless they are baptized in the Holy Spirit!!
Varnel Watson
Shawn P Brennan that is TRUE Wonder what most would say if there was a video of satan speaking in tongues while checking his phone
Jerome Herrick Weymouth
Troy Day Ger i just heard about this on Oct, 6th, 2019 at 9:58 pm pst!

IDK – pls tell us

What’s your opinion?

Doesn’t the Bible say, if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful? Why can’t we multitask and use our mind to read a prayer request as our Spirit prays? 🙂 Perry is a genuine Pentecostal. Someone needs to pick a real battle. Nitpicking this man of God is just not essential.
Varnel Watson
even science says this is true

I sorry Bro Perry Stone. Many people that doesn’t believe in it. Doesn’t want to know the truth. I’m think you did the right thing by explaining it. I learned things I didn’t know. I didn’t know. I didn’t know you had a time for calling. That’s a great thing.
Varnel Watson
Nelson Banuchi wondering what most ppl here would say if there was a video of Hillary speaking in tongues while checking her phone
Cameron C Smith
Troy Day There’s not one. ?
I think context is the key here. I don’t like drinks in the sanctuary, but I’m willing to make an exception for someone coughing their lungs out or someone who is sick. Normally, I wouldn’t want someone looking at their phone in the service, but he was about to have the lady call and be prayed for on the speaker phone. What upsets you about this?
Varnel Watson
Cameron C Smith I dont like drinks in church either
Joe S Brooks
I’m glad I answer for me
Varnel Watson
you answer for you when praying alone in private – when praying before the congregation you answer for all
Joe S Brooks
Troy Day there is never a day YOU answer for me or Perry – even when I lead my congregation I answer for me
Varnel Watson
Joe S Brooks never say never, you know
Joe S Brooks
There you go again – you just can’t help yourself huh never never never never lol
Robert Erwine
Perry stone is a fraud .
Varnel Watson
says who?
Robert Erwine
The bible .
Daniel J Hesse
Instigator! Shock a boom to you too.
Varnel Watson
whoever posted the videos on youtube was and maybe even looking for some black and white PR
My 2nd observation is that a Christian from the audience leaked the story to dailyMail – I cannot see how secular press be watching Perry and waiting for him to be texting
Last but not least Daniel J Hesse out liberal brother Robert Erwine is wrong for way too many things BUT maybe right in this case here I am still waiting for him to make his point though before I lead out any conclusions
