But he can always claims that he is gifted and is the puppet of god. He can even speak in tongue and receive message and revelation from God.

Personally I will be very wary of any preachers who claim such. We are just vessels of God and we cannot invoke these gifts on our own i.e. it is up to God to let His powers work through us.

Dream, did u ever hear SH speaking or singing in tongues while u were there?
I saw one clip where she seemed to be in one portion.
I read somewhere dat d No.2 told d congregation dat he cld teach them to speak in tongues.
Dat shd hv raise a red flag fr d discerning.[/quote]not only sh, basically almost every member could speak and sing in tongue, or at least that was what they thought they could do. And i thought i could too. But when i left chc I've spent time praying and rediscovering my Christianity, and suffice to say God revealed to me that i never had the gift in the first place, thus i no longer speak in tongue now. I was just basically muttering the same gibberish that my ex churmates were uttering.

Now just to clarify, i am not saying everyone from chc is faking tongues. I believe there are good honest Christians who are truly blessed by god with the gift of tongues. But everyone can receive the gift of tongue? I don't think so.

A letter from a Christian asking Singaporeans to forgive Pastor Kong Hee

Dear Editors,

I am deeply saddened by the reactions of netizens to the arrest of my dearest pastor Kong Hee. As a long time member of City Harvest Church, the public clearly does not understand the sacrifices he had to make in the name of God.

When I first received Sun Ho’s Chinese pop CD in 2003, I thought to myself: “what kind of devil’s music is this?” But as I listened more, it began to dawn on me that I was being overly prudish and she was actually spreading the word of God in the form of Satan-worshipping music to beat the devil at his own game.

Indeed, the more involved I became at the Church, the more I began to understand that I could not even begin to comprehend God’s plan and the plans pastor Kong had for me, and the church. You see, I am but mortal. Pastor Kong was the chosen one.

Without his light shining like a beacon of conscience, the gays, prostitutes, and the opposition would start to take over Singapore. Satan would then have a hub to take over the world.

So it was with deep love that I decided to dedicate 30% of my husband’s salary each month to help fund Sun Ho’s music career as part of the Crossover project.

As a good christian, I have an obligation to The Lord to spread his message: from Singapore to Malaysia, to Taiwan, China and even the town of sin, Hollywood.

It must have been extremely difficult for pastor Kong to see his wife in such disgusting states of undress in public, and for her to live in the heart of the most unholy places on earth, Beverly Hills. I’ve watched the TV series 90210 when I was younger. These people have no morals but like lepers, the Man and Woman of God must go to the sick to heal the sick.

People outside the church don’t understand us and are so quick to condemn when they haven’t experienced God through His music, sung to thumping beats and a negro man saying something intelligible at the beginning.

I do not understand how “China wine” or being a Geisha is related to God’s work, but as I said, I’m only mortal. God has a plan, even when I don’t understand. Even when it involves S$23 million. If pastor Kong was using that money, it must be God’s will.

Jesus preaches forgiveness, and therefore we must forgive even if we don’t want to.

So I forgive the government, and the public for misunderstanding and maligning the Church.

There’s a special place in hell for people who say nasty things about Kong Hee and an even worse one for those that framed God’s chosen workers.

I pray that it will be like Sodom and Gonorrhea.

Yours truly,

Faithful Christian of CHC

Cannot decide if the writer was serious or was it done tongue in cheek.

I remember attending a service once long time ago in a church when practically all started speaking weird and weeping. Freaked me out. Learned that they were speaking in tongue. I have heard of it but never encountered it before that. Naturally I stayed far far away from that church.

I have always thought that speaking in tongue is not something that can be learned. You can speak in tongue only when the spirit descends on you right? That was what I was told.

Agreed. Obviously faked and IMO, should not have done so.

MMM:

Catholic is very clear since they worship Mary which the Christians don't.

ehh... must clarify this. Catholics worship God, they respect Mary as the mother of Jesus.
