The Delusional World Of Mark Stibbe & St Andrews Chorleywood

by James Jacob Prasch

Welcome to St. Andrew’s Chorleywood, The UK Platform For The Promotion Of Sexually Perverted Deceivers From Paul Cain To Todd Bentley.  

After Its Latest Fad The Question Must Be Asked:  Is St. Andrews Merely A Spiritually And Doctrinally Deranged Church Or A Lunatic Asylum With A Cross On The Roof?

It was the predecessor of  Mark Stibbe, Anglican vicar at St. Andrew’s Chorley Wood , David Pytches, who promoted the ‘Kansas City Prophets’, (now proven by scripture and history to be false prophets), with his wild book ‘Some Said It Thundered’ in which he lauded Bob Jones and Paul Cain.

The fanciful false prophetic predictions of a great British revival for October of that year made in the Name of The Lord by Jones, Cain and their pastor Mike Bickel and the late John Wimber made in August of 1990 came to nothing. More mosques have been built in Britain than churches in the last 18 years since their promised ‘latter day rain’ and as with the failed Alpha courses the UK has only witnessed steadily increasing moral and spiritual decline including a Church of England headed by a member of a Druid sect and favoring same sex marriages and the lesbian and homosexual ordination urged by Desmond Tutu.

Pytches, Sandy Miller, Nicky Gumbel, Terry Virgo, Gerald Coates, and RT Kendall all quickly jumped on the ‘Kansas City’ bandwagon, but the assured revival never materialized; the diametric opposite transpired instead. Lakeland meetings were also mimicked in Dudley, England and predictably endorsed by Gerald  Coates who tried to copy the failed Pensacola revival in London.

Lakeland is the most recent sequel but Kansas City was the prequel. Indeed, the gross distortion of The Book of Joel by the Kansas City false prophets, by means of abandoning biblical exegesis and embracing pure Gnosticism in the mystical subjectivist interpretation of Joel, saw the Babylonian invaders whom God will destroy retro-identified as ‘The Triumphant Church’. The participants at the Docklands fiasco saw the locusts of Joel’s apocalyptic vision identified as the demon cohorts of hell in Revelation chapter 9 , re-identified as the ‘Kingdom Now’/ Manifest sons participants in the conference. The mishandling and distortion of scripture was religious madness that set the stage for the next failed revival from Toronto, Canada led by John & Carol Arnott. This was likewise followed by the demise of its American clone at Brownsville Assemblies of God that ended in a massive church split and public financial scandal, but likewise no revival despite an avalanche of big talk and hollow promises.

Indeed, as one who himself believes in the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit when practiced scripturally, the consecutive failure of these counterfeit moves of Gods to deliver what they falsely promised was predictable, and in fact inevitable. Abject theology leads to abject spirituality. Doctrinal bankruptcy equates to spiritual bankruptcy.
 
Meanwhile, the Kansas City False Prophets hyped and promulgated by St. Andrew’s Chorleywood to no end have publicly fallen from grace. Bob Jones was debunked as a sexual predator with vulnerable women while Paul Cain was publicly disclosed to be a drunken pervert with a life long history of alcoholism and homosexuality.
Well David Pytches - Thunder indeed!

Elim's Ian Bilby, and his worship leader, the cheer leaders of the Toronto deception in New Zealand were likewise found in publicly exposed serial adultery with as many as 20 women.  

 No revival ever materialized from Kansas City, which was the first link of the twisted chain of carnal and demonically inspired folly that has so discredited, damaged, and divided the church courtesy of St. Andrews Chorleywood who championed these false prophets with David Pytches and his ludicrous book.

Neither did any revival emerge from Toronto or Pensacola. Those freak shows are long over as is their attempted UK imitations in Sunderland and Marsham Street, London. Despite this, just as the Elim  denomination continues to try to resuscitate the Toronto failure in its magazine, under the leadership of Mark Stibbe, St. Andrews Chorleywood continues promote John & Carol Arnott at their “School of International Ministry”. They seem to teach everything from “dream interpretation” to biblical groundless nonsense that is essentially New Age practice absurdly  put into Christian jargon.

Now Mark Stibbe has promoted the ‘Third Wave’ sequel of Toronto and Pensacola in Lakeland, Florida . Lakeland pastor Stephen Strader admits it is the continuation of the Toronto and Pensacola phenomena.

According to various news reports, The Florida District Attorney believed Pastor Stephen Strader to be as guilty as his brother Daniel, but obtained a RICO conviction on his brother Daniel, now in prison until 2036 after defrauding elderly Christians out of  $3 million dollars. Strader was convicted as a professional racketeer under RICO laws. RICO anti racketeering legislation is used in the prosecution and sentencing of professional gangsters engaged in various forms of organized criminal activity. These are the Strader brothers.

Strader brought in a criminally convicted Canadian homosexual pedophile named Todd Bentley to conduct his counterfeit revival. Bentley was imprisoned for the homosexual molestation of a seven year old before being commissioned to lead the Lakeland pandemonium. Bentley has meanwhile filed for a separation from his wife which by Canadian law is the first step to divorce. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Bentley has a history of adultery excluding him from ministry that has been covered up and has once again become involved in a yet another improper extra marital relationship. Yet it is this same Bentley that Wendy Alec of the so called 'God Channel' has defended labeling those critical of him and his carnal antics as being of the devil, and it is this same Lakeland hoax that Mark Stibbe and St. Andrews Chorleywood promulgated aggressively.

Bentley was exposed on national TV in the USA on the ABC Nightline broadcast for being unable to medically document a single claimed healing. Some of those pronounced healed at Lakeland have however since been medically documented as deceased, and a statement by Arnold Palmer hospital likewise contradicts claims of a resurrection from the dead as bogus.

That the ‘Fruit of The Holy Spirit’ according to Galatians is ‘ekreitei’ “Self Control” not the lack of, never mattered to proponents of Toronto or Pensacola. That such Fruit is also ‘gentleness’ does not matter either as Bentley kicks old ladies in the stomach and baptizes people in the name of ‘Bam’. Christ’s own clear and unambiguous warning to avoid those like Bentley who claim His physical return before the ‘parousia’ and revelatory  visitations from  a healing angel named ‘Emma’ (there are no manifestations of angelic beings as women or as agents of healing in God’s Word) could hardly matter to someone like Mark Stibbe.

It is well know by police and social services that pedophiles frequently profess a religious conversion in prison as a parole stunt and then seek work in scout groups, schools, youth camps and churches in   order to get near children. Although Bentley fits this profile, we do not have any evidence of any recent homosexual pedophilia by this self-disfigured heretical freak, however current verified information certainly exists in the public media about his taking his wife to court for a separation and his more recent history of adultery.

But even if he did undergo an authentic regeneration and become a Christian, many ask why he would then say The Lord led him to cover his body with an array of disfiguring tattoos that give him the appearance of a rather freakish goon? Even if his sexual perversion was prior to becoming a Christian as he claims, that is not true of his openly confessed mentor, sexual predator Bob Jones, whom Bentley lauds and endorses. Jones preyed upon women sexually in lewd acts as a ‘prophet’. Why would anyone serving Jesus endorse the ministry of a sexually immoral preacher who misused Christian ministry to perpetrate his perversions and who according to The New Testament has no biblical right to be in  ministry as he is not above reproach?        

        
These are the deranged antics of Lakeland we are speaking of and these are the kinds of people we are talking about; an assortment of perverts, swindlers, drunks, homosexuals, demonstrable false prophets, and even a tattooed criminally convicted pedophile child molester turned adulterer filing separation procedures against his wife. This is the whacky world of Mark Stibbe.

Perhaps Mark Stibbe will defy 1 Corinthians 6 and attempt to take brother to court and attempt to sue me for these comments. His problem is the documented facts are in the public domain. I doubt he would ever face me in front of a video camera in a public debate; but the offer is open.

It is more likely Mark Stibbe will go the way of Stephen Sizer, John Stott, Nicky Gumbel, David Pytches, Sandy Miller and the other supposedly ‘Born Again’ Anglicans and continue to compromise and turn a blind eye to the homosexual and lesbian ordination and same sex marriage in  his beloved Anglican communion and remain in that backslidden institution within whose ranks St. Andrews remains a haven for the ridiculous, the demonically deceived, the spiritually counterfeit, the biblically ignorant, the carnal, and the blatantly absurd. 

Fortunately, Anglicanisms Evangelical fore-fathers Ridley, Latimer, Hooper, Tyndale, and Cranmer were made of better stuff and would be out the door of the modern Church of England even faster than they were out the door of The Church of Rome in the 16th century.  

The combination of heresy and carnality that has so characterized Lakeland and its predecessor counterfeit revivals is a sure symptom of sexual immorality as we have witnessed with Elim's Ian Bilby, with Jim & Tammy Bakker, with Ted Haggard, with Bentley's proclaimed heroes Bob Jones & Paul Cain who were launched into meteoric prominence from St. Andrews Chorleywood by David Pytches, and now Todd Bentley himself, who was once again  pushed on naive and undiscerning Christians by St. Andrews Chorleywood courtesy of Mark Stibbe.

It is also noteworthy, how much of this sexual immorality has been of a perverse, un-natural, pedophile, or homosexual nature. Bentley is not the only convicted pedophile; the leader of Toronto on the Isle of Man was an Elim pastor sent to prison for sexual acts with an underage girl in the children's Sunday School, and Ted Haggard & Paul Cain join Bentley with a  history of homosexuality. Bentley was not the first pervert, and we can probably rely upon the god channel, Elim, and above all Mark Stibbe & St. Andrews Chorleywood to be sure he will not be the last. 

This sick charismania of Mark Stibbe has no relation to any biblical practice of charismata or charismatic gifts, but on the contrary such Christ-less chaos is the sick and twisted lunacy my fellow charismatics  & Pentecostals are commanded to avoid in 1 Corinthians 14.        

Meanwhile, in the true spirit of Ezekiel chapter 13 Mark Stibbe has gotten the white wash out and tried to erase the shameful and undeniable history of what St. Andrews has once again been responsible for promoting as being from God just as with Paul Cain & Bob Jones. Revisionism and white wash however will not work; an actionable repentance alone will.       

But this is unlikely to happen. When an empire has been built on a lie, the lie upon which the empire is predicated must continue to be propagated, even though everyone in their right mind knows it is all a lie. It is rather likely therefore that Mark Stibbe will attempt to continue to shepherd The Lord’s sheep in the way of doctrinal error and deception, following counterfeit after counterfeit, fad after fad, and religious con upon religious con; Mark Stibbe will most likely do what Mark Stibbe does best:  Feed The Lord's sheep for whose welfare he will one day give account to the wolves (Ezekiel 34:5, 1 Peter 5:2-4). Jesus said that only a shepherd (pastor) protects sheep from wolves, hirelings do not (John 10:12-13).  

Well done indeed Mark Stibbe - as Jesus would say: "your father must be proud of you" (John 8:44)!

The God channel is perhaps better called 'The God-less Channel', and Mark Stibbe's so called church, St. Andrews Chorleywood, firmly remains what it has always been since David Pytches - a hideous refuge for those who have long ago ceased to be truly led of The Holy Spirit on the basis of scripture but who have rather chosen to dispose of their bibles, their discernment, and their brains.
