	JOHN WIMBER
		It is claimed that John Wimber was surprised when the charismatic elements entered his ministry, however, he was oriented toward the charismatic from the point of his conversion, since it occurred in a very emotional period of his life.
		John Wimber needed a forum in which he could control the content, use, operation and application of his theological teachings.
		The inevitable conclusion of John Wimber's theology is the acceptance of an emotional and experiential approach to spiritual truth in which experience in itself becomes the self-validating criteria confirming the nature of a religious experience.

	John Wimber - General Teachings/Activities
		Wimber was the leader of the Vineyard Christian Fellowships, a hyper-charismatic organization within the Vineyard Movement (which itself is also known by the names of "third wave," "Signs and Wonders Movement," and "power theology").
		Wimber's teaching was "anti-Christian in his abuse of Christ, despising and disregarding His divinity and glory in order to present Him as a 'humanized' example of healing techniques which may be copied in our day" (Masters, p.
		Wimber is hiding behind a facade of true adherence to the moving of the Spirit of God in order to insulate his theology and practices from those who would unravel the facade with God's Word.

	The Vineyard \| A Community of Churches
		John Wimber was a founding leader of the Vineyard.
		When John was conscripted by God he was, in the words of Christianity Today, a "beer-guzzling, drug-abusing pop musician, who was converted at the age of 29 while chain-smoking his way through a Quaker-led Bible study" (Christianity Today, editorial, Feb. 9 1998).
		In 1977, John reentered pastoral ministry to plant Calvary Chapel of Yorba.

	VINEYARD CHURCHES
		According to Wimber, "only by startling the world by demonstrations of clairvoyance and powerful healings will the gospel message receive respectful attention, because (apparently) by itself, the Gospel is too weak and powerless to break the stubbornness and rebellion of the human heart" (http://www.pacinter.net/users/chawman/Wimber.html).
		John Wimber and the Association of Vineyard Churches recognize holy laughter as an important part of their ministry.
		With John Wimber's untimely passing this past November, the leadership of the movement has been in disarray.

	Calvary Chapel / wimber-died
		John Wimber was faced with the same issues at the Vineyard that Calvary Chapel faces.
		Wimber was concerned that the churches would have a struggle after him if he didn't do something to structure things in an intelligent way.
		Wimber's genius was that he understood that it was better to have something in place for the structure to grow from than nothing which would lead to chaos and fracturing.

	JOHN WIMBER 01
		Wimber has developed a very pragmatic approach to ministry, healing, spiritual growth, etc. He has shown a willingness to examine and implement a wide range of what seems to be working in the Christian world, particularly in the area of healing.
		John Wimber was actually quite troubled by it all, until he received a sensual confirmation to the experience.
		Wimber teaches, "We must remember always that the Bible was written in the Middle East, not with rational assumption, that we bring to it as we try to understand it, but with an experiential assumption."[10] I interpret him to be saying that the Bible is not so much an objective book, but a subjective one.

	Review of John Wimber, <cite>Power Healing</cite> (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the final two chapters, Wimber outlines five steps to organize the process of praying for healing, including an interview with the sick person, a "diagnostic" decision as to the cause, a decision as to what kind of prayer is appropriate, the time of prayer, and follow-up.
		Unlike some modern healers, Wimber is plainly interested in grounding healing ministry in a rich theology of the kingdom of God.
		First, in his argumentation Wimber appeals almost exclusively to incidents in the Gospels and in Acts, without interacting with the view that the incidents are unique because they serve to lay the foundation of the church.

	John Wimber
		John began his somewhat 'sheepish' pastorate of a charismatic church by stating openly and candidly that he didn't know what he was doing, to which several of us looked over the tops of our glasses and nodded amen....it was very difficult not to take exception to much of what he taught.
		She had first manifested demons at John Wimbers house, and he had not known how to handle it so he had, (according to his own statement to me later) 'thrown' her into the back of a van, and taken her to the Bessermins for deliverance.
		John woke the next morning and as is his custom, he went to the front door, opened it, leaned down to pick up the paper, and as he straightened up he beheld the 'scene'.

		John Wimber was the founder and International Director of the Association of Vineyard Churches, and he died peacefully on November 17, 1997 in the presence of his family.
		Wimber suggests that the "proclamation of a faulty gospel will produce faulty or, at best, weak Christian." He goes on to claim that the faultiness lies in the consumer gospel, where the seeker seeks for his needs to be met, rather then the costly gospel of Christ's death on the cross.
		Wimber came to the conclusion that if an experience such as healing was commonly found in Scripture, but yet not part of his own experience, something had to be wrong with his approach.

	Meeting John Wimber \| John Gunstone
		All herald Wimber's 'superb gifts of communication (and motivation), his total lack of pomposity', 'his genuine love for the whole church', his wisdom 'as a church consultant', 'his lack of aggression towards those who criticised him', his teaching gifts, his ability to equip lay persons for ministry and much more.
		Gunstone introduces the collection by sketching a portrait of John Wimber's life and ministry from his success as the spark plug of the chart-topping musical group 'The Righteous Brothers', to his leadership of the worldwide Vineyard movement.
		While he maintains his affection for John Wimber, he expresses doubts about healing claims, the 'fun side' of the phenomena and Wimber's central thesis that 'acts of power add impetus to the evangelistic task' (p.

	The kingdom of God according to John Wimber
		John Wimber was the leader of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship, also known as The Association of Vineyard Churches, headquartered in Anaheim, California.
		This is what is known as "church growth." Thus it is rather obvious that the influence of John Wimber on the Body of Christ has been significant.
		That Ladd's view of the kingdom of God formed a theological basis for Wimber's "power evangelism" is further evidenced in the Signs and Wonders and Church Growth syllabus which Wimber distributed at a conference he held in Seattle in the mid 1980's.

		John’s life was an exposition of the “already and not yet of the kingdom”.
		John’s goal was to let God have his way with the church and for the church to “only do what the Father is doing” (John 5:19).

		Wimber stated categorically that he did not believe in the imminent return of Christ for a church: the church is now being restored to its pristine purity, being made fit for her bridegroom.

		John Wimber, pastor of a nearby Calvary Chapel, merged with Gullikesen and after the latter’s departure became the leader of the new Vineyard association.
		Wimber always affirmed strongly that he believed the Bible is the final authority for life and doctrine, but he undermined that affirmation by constantly exalting experience and by putting down the doctrine-alone approach to truth.
		Wimber doesn’t say they renewed their marriage vows; he says they were remarried, as if they had never been married before stating their vows before a Catholic priest.

		But when I witnessed John Arnott and his wife giving approval to a woman's report of a divine message from Jesus that she should leave her husband because he was like a stone around her neck, I knew it was time to go.
		To this day, John Wimber discusses "spiritual warfare" by explaining that "binding the strong man" has nothing to do with deliverance, and that Christians have no authority to bind or loose anything.
		In 1987, Wimber preached from the Bible and people listened, even if they confessed privately afterwards that they thought he taught for too long, and they were just waiting for the "ministry time" to start.

	John Wimber & The Vineyard
		Wimber's attitude toward signs and wonders greatly changed, not because of his study of Scripture, but as a result of the reported growth of Pentecostal and charismatic churches.
		The man who would have the most impact on Wimber's philosophy was C. Peter Wagner, alleged expert on church growth, and a strong proponent of signs and wonders for the purpose of church growth.
		Wimber made two statements in defense of the manifestations at Yorba Linda on which Chuck Smith challenged him: 1) "God is above His Word"; and 2) "God is not limited by His Word." In other words, Wimber did not need a Scriptural basis for the manifestations.

	John Wimber - Brighton Vineyard Church
		Finally, after weeks of reading about life-transforming miracles in the Bible and attending boring church services, John asked one of the lay leaders, "When do we get to do the stuff?" "What stuff?" asked the leader. "You know, the stuff here in the Bible," said John.
		He so often described himself (on the platform) as just a fat man trying to get into heaven, but he was, of course, a very talented musician, an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor and a teacher who married Pentecostal experience to Evangelical teaching.
		John was also the eventual founder of a new denomination who led us into new forms of worship; he was a deeply spiritual thinker, a joint author of many books, a model healer, a trainer of leaders and laity alike.
