I saw this video of Cindy Jacobs I thought I would share.
Cindy Jacobs prayed for a woman who had a hysterectomy and the woman became pregnant. I gotta say I am a skeptic

In reply to Patrocles. Patrocles - Gary DeMar and Gary North both call for the execution of gays. They say that they don't want to round them up but they say the law suppresses the behavior. Your claim is counter to the facts.

It may come down to terminology and emphasis. Evangelicals prefer to emphasize the positive and friendly aspects of their faith over damnation, red/blue politics, and public policy. Even while maintain the fundamentalist doctrines, evangelicals detest being identified as fundamentalists dismissing fundamentalism as fire and brimstone preaching. Similarly, some evangelicals may even disavow being Republicans, but will certainly not stand in the way of voting for a evangelical political leader.

Patrocles,
Would you mind “fleshing out” what you mean by that post above? Obviously an unbalanced understanding of the word “dominion” is not the same thing as Dominionism as it is understood and espoused by some very right-wing evangelists today

I may humbly recall that “dominion” means nothing else than “god’s kingdom on earth” which is a pet idea of left wing protestants since the time of Calvin via the “social gospel” movement up to liberal protestants and evangelicals at present.
Now, “god’s kingdom on earth” doesn’t claim the suppression of homosexual behaviour (at present) but obviously claims the suppression of a lot of other things which would be allowed by right wing “dominionists” (e.g. so called “hate speech”).
So I think the critique of dominionism is somewhat unbalanced, if not even hypocritical.

Thank you for highlighting this ongoing debate on your blog. Tabachnick is indeed on target. I grew up in a Pentecostal preacher’s home where Peter Wagner, Mike Bickle and Cindy Jacobs were household names. I’ve been to Rick Joyner’s conferences, received my Master degrees from Regent University, and used to attend an Evangelical Presbyterian Church in the Virginia Beach area. There were threads of Dominionism in each of these, some greater than others. The networks that have been established among all the entities I mentioned above are just parts of the idea of a dominion ideology that has gradually worked its way into a broad spectrum of churches both within the US and internationally. I should know, I was once one of those people who went overseas to export these ideas! I would have never identified myself as a Dominionist at the time but have since become increasingly alarmed at how it has become more visible across the political landscape. Looking back, I am horrified to think how I may have played a small role in advancing this agenda. While I still consider myself to be Evangelical, it’s now with an understanding of the Kingdom of God reigning in my heart/life rather than as a political solution to be enforced over others!
