Listen "Testing the Spirits: Justin Peters on Mark Driscoll’s Claims of “Visions”"
Episode Synopsis
In this sobering and biblically grounded message, Justin Peters examines Mark Driscoll's repeated claims of receiving "visions" from God—some of which involve disturbing, unbiblical content. Justin exposes these assertions as blasphemous distortions of the Holy Spirit's work and calls the Church to renewed discernment rooted in Scripture alone. Through a careful walk through God's Word, Justin shows why these claims are incompatible with the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17) and the biblical qualifications for pastoral ministry (1 Timothy 3; Titus 1). He reminds believers that we must "test the spirits to see whether they are from God" (1 John 4:1) and hold fast to the truth. Key Themes: – The danger of false claims of revelation – The authority and sufficiency of Scripture – Biblical discernment in evaluating teachers – A pastoral call to repentance and faith in Christ Scripture References: 1 John 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:21–22; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Titus 1:5–9; Romans 16:17–18 Visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/justin-peters-sound-theology/
