The scriptures say,

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”” Hebrews 13:5

“It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then, must be above reproach…  free from the love of money.” 1 Timothy 3:1-3

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1Tim 6:10

 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money…” 2 Timothy 3:1-2

“Those who love money will never have enough.” Ecclesiastes 5:10

“Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these  things and were scoffing at Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.” Luke 16:14-15

Leading up to the Kuala Lumpur Conference in 2011 last year, was this advert. Do you think C3 or Phil Pringle care about the scriptures and the words of Jesus?

The below C3 advert starts off with the following:

“Join our panel of Leaders who shine in their fields as they answer questions and share their tips & wisdom to help your team be at their best – an opportunity not to be missed!”

In this promo they advertise Phil Pringle speaking. Do you think Pringle will be preaching “the gospel: Jesus Christ. Beginning and end”?  He has did say that “I got no other message then that one.” Do you think they are going to promote Pringle as the representative of Jesus Christ as the head of the C3 movement?

Rebekah Pringle, daughter of Phil Pringle tweeted,

“wishes God would hurry up and buy our family a plane Dang it” – Rebekah Pringle, http://twitter.com/RebekahFaith, 11:53 PM Aug 20th from TweetDeck, 2010.

Whether Rebekah was serious or not, Phil Pringle in C3 Church Atlanta attempted to  get the congregation to buy him a jet… And he was dead serious.
 
 
 
 “… At least that’s from checking in, security and all that. So in a month that’s 48 hrs. In a year that is 2 days so that’s- that is 24 days a year. Twenty four days in a year- that’s almost a month a year I can save myself. Ok, so over ten years- over twelve years – that’s a year. In one year I have saved myself one year of my life. One year of my life is worth a whole lot more then what any jet is worth or anything like that so – amen!

If you – would like to buy that jet [congregation starts to laugh] for us… This weekend – I don’t know what you’re laughing about. I’m serious. [More laughing] And you just go right ahead and slap that black amex down on some counter. And ahh… we’ll be flying, amen! Praise Jesus! Ahaha!” – Phil Pringle, C3 Church Atlanta 8/8/10, http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8802074, 08/08/2010.

Later, Pringle promotes himself, his false 2020 Vision and starts speaking faith/prophecy. Read the rest of the transcript below.
 
[Continued] “You know it is – It’s always a pleasure to be here. We have a vision of planting a thousand churches around the world so I have no hesitation playing videos and material that promotes our vision – what we’re doing.

One of the great things we’re doing right now is an online college. We’ve just started three weeks ago and we already have five hundred students. Now to plant these – another seven hundred churches in the next eight years – nine years, we need another seven hundred leaders, seven hundred worship leaders, seven hundred methodist administrators and ahh – oh just administrators will do. You know. And if we could have administrators like Jeff, song leaders like Joe, that would be phenomenal. But even moreso to have leaders like Dean Sweetman who was on the online college now. He’s our latest addition. I don’t know if you guys can play that for us now that would be great.

Fantastic! So your pastor is featured in this. You can [go] on line college. You can do it at home on your own or as a connect group. Or as another group – maybe a good way to get people in to meet the Lord. New York City Church, our church in Time Square, is doing it.  And they in their first week had, I think,  two people come to Christ who were just attending the college. And so it can be used in all kinds of opportunities and ways that will really, really be a blessing.

And a- so I’d encourage you to get a hold of that. Get a hold of my books and things like that.

We’re about to start a church in Shang- ah! In Hong Kong! And ah, we probably will start in Shanghai as well. And ah- maybe you’ve got someone in Toronto you can send to help us out. Although they don’t speak French down there and ah – it’s alright! But we need to be starting churches everywhere and we’re sending people down to Hong Kong.

And I’ve just had ‘You the Leader’ [Pringle’s Book] released in Chinese. So that’s a really good thing. Although you’d already know that if you were following me on Twitter. And so if you’re not, go ahead and sign up. We can all stay in touch. We can find out. It’s a connector. It’s just brilliant in staying in touch with one another.

And I know you might be saying, “Oy yeah-roar-rru-roar” (plays an ogre) Get over that and just get on it! It’s a fantastic tool that God has given us to connect with each other all around the world and just to know what we’re all doing. It’s fantastic! And I love all technology that is helping us achieve those ends. There are gonna be some negatives but we don’t focus on those things. Amen!

I’m gonna say this, ‘It’s like, even though I’ve been in Singapore last weekend, speaking to that church, (it’s not a C3 church); and I’m going from here to LA, (we’re speaking at C3 LA tonight- while doing a live painting); they’re going to Jakarta to a thing called the ‘World Harvest Conference’ which is a huge conference they have in Indonesia. And when I go to those places, I am like a guest speaker. It’s not really my show – it’s not my place. So to give- give leadership, is not what they’re looking for. They’re looking for ministry. And if you’re gonna be a leader, you need to have ministry. But the leadership is limited to a sphere of people that you lead. And you guide and you influence and you direct and shape the culture of that.

So whenever I’m in one of our churches, I’m like – I just pick up that burden and cause that I am going to shape the culture here and feel like the pastor here for the day and uh – talk to you about where we’re going. Not that ah you know I need to announce where Dean is going and you’re aware of all that. But as the leader of our movement, I know that I need to be promoting our cause and keeping you on the same page as where we’re going so that we’ve all got one mind – we’ve got one purpose – one spirit. And the delight of dealing with Dean and Jill and the whole team here, is that everyone is so on the same page, we hardly even need to talk. We’ve just got the vibe and we’re going in the same direction.

And so my job in coming into these situations is to be like that!

Ken[?] and John called me the arch bishop the other night. But it’s sort of like that to present to you the over-arching culture and vision of where we’re going. And I really enjoy doing that.

So I speak a little stronger. A little more cause and direction and leadership orientated, when I’m in our C3 churches. I want you to come to me to Deuteronomy 8:18, here this morning. And in the next thirty minutes, I would really like to be able to change your life for you. And if you’ll let me just tinker with your brain, I reckon I can do that- and I mean REALLY change your life. In your – in your world. And both in your domestic world and in your church world.

And every time I’m in any kind of service, I’m believing for God to bring at least one miracle into a person’s life. And while you’re just sitting there, I am convinced that a miracle is going to happen in somebody’s life here today. The miracle I believe that will happen, is that you will get a house. And I would like to think that all of our people will own their own homes, amen! In Jesus name!

And I know some of you would like a medical miracle. Well I’m believing God that can happen as well. But I really have a word that some of you hear today will go out of this place and you’ll buy yourself a house. You’ll have a house and you’ve always wanted a house and now you’re gonna get one, in Jesus name. Amen! – Phil Pringle, C3 Church Atlanta 8/8/10, http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8802074, 08/08/2010.

Phil Pringle’s Translation Guide

God gave us His teachings in His word. It is not our job as Christians in our postmodern world to apply new meaning to His words. To do so in light of scripture is to twist or add to Gods Word.

Unfortunately Phil Pringle is a master of manipulating words and meaning in the bible. At the same time, his idea of a ‘correct’ definition can help other Christians understand what he is talking about.

Please feel free to use this translation key when talking to people from C3. This may help you lead, teach or give C3 goers a greater understanding how to understand their own pastor. This article will be updated to inform readers Pringle’s various new definitions of key words in Christian language.

GRACE is…

“This is the grace (unmerited favor) of God – if you are in Christ, you have fulfilled ALL God’s requirements to bless you.” – Phil Pringle, http://philpringle.com/2009/11/01/blessed-not-cursed/, 01/11/09. (Also found at http://philpringle.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/.) (Later accessed 01/07/2012.)

“God’s favour and God’s grace are interchangeable.” – Phil Pringle, Connect Group Notes: Favour,  02/05/2010.

TRUTH is…

“The key to truth becoming real is faith.” – Phil Pringle, SEVEN BIG THINGS That Make Life Work, Baptisms, pg. 71.

FAITH is…

“Faith is positive.”– Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith And Prayer – Speak It, 2001, pg 73.

“Faith is like courage & confidence, abandonment, uninhibited, unintimidated, fearless, fearless believing – all of those things are what faith is. A positive mindset, confidence and courage in your heart. Thinking big, not thinking small.” – Phil Pringle, Ps Phil Pringle: Get Ready For God, http://www2.myc3church.net/2003119ampp, Sermon (AM), 20/03/2011

“Faith is a spirit. It is an attitude. It is confidence in the heart.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 12.

“Faith is knowing something that no-one else does.” – Phil Pringle, Faith,  Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 12.

“Faith is a feeling” – Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 21.

“Let me say this to you. Faith itself is a feeling.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 21.

“Faith is an attitude you have within you.“ – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 22.

“The source of faith is the Word of God.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 14.

“Faith is the collateral of heaven. It is what you use to trade with in heaven.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, Faith Is A Feeling, 2001, pg 13.

“Faith is the master key that unlocks all of heaven’s doors. It’s the collateral of God. It’s the currency of heaven. Without it, we are unable to purchase anything from God. He issues the invitation, “Come, buy wine and milk, without price, without money.” How do we buy without money? With faith, that’s how.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 53.

“Faith is a creative force. When we operate by faith, we employ the creative power of God.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 66.

“Faith is seeing what can’t be seen..” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 98.

“Faith is like an additional sense. A spiritual sense… Thus we walk by faith, that is, an inner substance, an inner reality that cannot be seen by anyone else. The conclusion is that we don’t wait until we receive a thing before we believe that we have it. We get it before we get it.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 56.

“Faith is the major key that opens every door in the Kingdom. It is a master key. Therefore it is imperative that we understand the ways of faith. Because these keys are the ways of God the natural man cannot receive them. They are spiritually understood. They are foolishness to the natural man. When a gift of the Spirit operates. Then we are able to impart that gift to others and teach them how to function in it also.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 58.

“We believe that we have the answer to our prayer before our five senses tell us so. The Amplified Bible interprets Hebrews 11:1 as “Faith perceives as a reality what is not revealed to the five senses.”

Faith is like an additional sense. A spiritual sense… Thus we walk by faith, that is, an inner substance, an inner reality that cannot be seen by anyone else. The conclusion is that we don’t wait until we receive a thing before we believe that we have it. We get it before we get it.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 56.

WORD OF GOD is...

“When we have no room for the Word of God in our lives we have no room for success.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 14.

“There is a direct correlation between the measure of God’s Word in our lives and the measure of prosperity we enjoy.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 14.

“The Word of God is none other than Jesus… When we speak the Word we are speaking Christ into that situation… ” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 90.

“The Word of God is the power of God unto salvation. This means that Christ and the Word of God are one and the same.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 91.

“The Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 169.

Phil Pringle Financially Fooling & Fleecing People (Part 2)

Below are five youtube videos of Phil Pringle speaking on ‘Financial Excellence’ in his evening service on 22/05/2011. Comparing Pringle’s morning message to his night time message, Phil Pringle not only demonstrates a complete lack of biblical knowledge and resonsibility or accountability to handling the scriptures correctly, Pringle exhibits hypocrisy. In his morning message he said,

“As we launch into this part of the year – tax returns, all these other areas, finances become an important subject of the media and of our own lives as we try to tidy things up as we come to the end of the year, etc-etc. And especially in the Kingdom of God, it’s important that you and I have this area under control, that we understand what this is about. Because finances are important.

I know that there’s this feeling sometimes, like Christians we intend to say well, ‘Well [shows disdain on his face] it’s not about money‘. And I agree, it’s not. But money’s not unimportant and I have a healthy respect for the power of money. And so did Jesus.” – Phil Pringle, Ps Phil Pringle: Financial Excellence Part 2, http://www2.myc3church.net/videos/ps-phil-pringle-financial-excellence-part-2, Sermon (PM), 22/05/2011. 

Rather than agree money is not an important focus for Christians to have, you will see in this sermon Pringle stresses the importance of money.

A solid critique of this sermon will be up later this year.

Below are six youtube videos of Phil Pringle speaking on ‘Financial Excellence’ in his morning service in 22/05/2011. Unfortunately for someone who has a doctorate in theology, Phil Pringle demonstrates a complete lack of biblical knowledge and shows no resonsibility or accountability to handling the scriptures correctly, especially when it comes to finances.

A critique of this sermon will be up later this year.
