Manifestations

Why are Christians so fascinated by manifestations but they have a fear of doctrine? Todd Bentley had a healing ministry in Florida that drew thousands of Christians but he could not stay married to his wife. He failed the moral test but Christians were still fascinated. They love the manifestations of the Spirit but they shy away from doctrine. The Toronto blessing; healings; tongues; barking like dogs; slaying in the Spirit. Now I don't want to down play the Spirit's ministry. After all He is a wild fire but He also does not draw attention to Himself but rather points to Christ. When we seek the manifestations for their own sake we are not bringing glory to Christ.
Christians should know the basic doctrines. Let us look at a few of those of the next few days.
