Without exception, all false teachers are overshadowed by a demonic band-leader, and dance to the tune of a false god. A steady chorus line of false teachings clutter and fog the mind, disrupts the ability to think clearly, and draws the listener further away from the true God and His written word.

Just as con artists scam the innocent and unwary with smooth talk and half-truths, false teachers mix a little truth with a lot of error, and do so with a smile on their faces.

Kris Vallotton is an integral part of Bill Johnson's Bethel Church and the Prophetic Movement, which is a movement that runs wild with blasphemers of God, heretics, false prophets, false healers, and false signs and wonders.

During a YouTube video titled "False Prophets" (posted September 7, 2010, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ0w0GrwHVI ), Vallotton appears to express concern over what he sees happening in the prophetic ministry globally. He says that people are putting prophetic words on the internet and, when their words are wrong, they withdraw them and never say, "I'm sorry."

Nonetheless, read carefully the following excerpts from Vallotton's video message, and pay particular attention to how he mixes a little truth with a lot of error:

"There's a difference between a bad prophetic word and a false prophet."
"You can get the [prophetic] word wrong, and not be a false prophet."
"Because you give words that aren't completely accurate, it doesn't mean you're a false prophet. It just means that you have prophetic words that need help."
"I can tell you that there are people who've been wrong for thirty years. I'm not saying they're false prophets. I'm just saying they are bad ones."
"There's a difference between a false prophet and a bad prophet. False prophet has an evil heart. A bad prophet just gets everything wrong."
"I don't know a prophet that gets everything right. But, you oughtta, you know, fifty-one percent would be nice. You could guess better than that."
"False prophets don't listen to anybody. I'm telling you, like, I don't care how spiritual you are, what your track-record is, prophetic ministry should be judged, and you need accountability."
"False prophets lead people to themselves. They become the answer."
"False prophets--their main ministry--is a ministry that creates fear."

To believe Kris Vallotton is to believe there is a difference between a thief and a robber, a liar and a fibber, and a con man and a scam artist.

Furthermore, does the Bible draw a distinction between a false and bad prophet? No. False is false and bad is bad. God was against false prophets thousands of years ago, and He still is (Jeremiah 23:9-40; Matthew chapter 24).

A robber is a thief. A fibber is a liar. A scam artist is a con man. A bad prophet is a false prophet. All are one in the same.

Kris Vallotton is clueless to what God's written word teaches about false prophets. He would do well to shake the Prophetic Movement monkey off his back, study his Bible and take it seriously, and follow his own advice:

I just think it's important for us not to stretch the Bible to mean something it doesn't say.
