You decide. The following is a quote from Pringle’s book, ‘Top 10 Qualities of a Great Leader Leader’. (By Dr. Phil Pringle.) This version was written in 2007.

We will be looking at more content of this book in nother articles in relation to C3 possibly being a ‘pseudo-Christian cult’.

On page 128 Pringle writes,

“The Arrogance of Diotrephes

I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. 10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.’ 3 John 1:9,10

His name literally means “raised and nourished by Jove,” which is another name for the chief Roman god, Jupiter, husband of Juno and god of light, the sky and weather, and god of the state and its welfare and its laws.

High achieving leaders inevitably have a healthy self-image, a robust ego. However, ego also needs a leash. The leader who breathes all the air in a room chokes everyone else out. This leader resents anyone else receiving any credit, attention, or privileges. Rather than releasing, he restricts everyone under his leadership. Let’s call this disorder the “Diotrephes complex.”

“I wrote to the church, BUT Diotrephes. . .” (v. 9), the apostle John explains. This leader is disagreeable. He’s contentious. He’s a “but” in the relationship. He’s an opposer. John oversees this church. He is desperate to communicate with the people but the local leader is blocking him. Never underestimate the power of leadership. It carries the power to release or restrict an entire church into or out of blessing.

“. . . Diotrephes,. . . loves. . . preeminance. . .“ (v. 9). Diotrephes preens himself with the attention of the followers. The seeds of false pseudo-Christian cults are seen when leaders place themselves rather than Christ at the center of a group. They make disciples of themselves, not Christ.” – Phil Pringle, Top 10 Qualities of a Great Leader Leader, 2007, pg. 128.

In May 2011 after the Presence Conference 2011, Pringle said in his leaders meeting,

“But I do know that I have super confidence in the areas of barren couples. You know or- that’s a bad statement. But, people who can’t have children. I just know it’s going to work! And there are some healings, I know it’s going to work. And I try not to promise beyond that knowing. So that only- if I know that a thing is going to happen do I- what I move towards saying, ‘This is going to happen.'” (00:26-00:55)

He also said,

“But I do believe that – and this is a surprising thing to me because I never, ever felt this in my whole life before – that things are going to multiply. That people are going to walk out of our church services and money is going to multiply in their pockets. Now I know all of you are wanting to run out right now and just check it out. Hahahaha!

Some of you haven’t got any money to multiply! And Sheralyn, you know I do believe what you said before that baptised in the Holy Spirit… And what was the other one? And baptised by water. Yeah but you missed out tithing.

Yeah, you see now there’s all sorts of problems if a person doesn’t tithe. And so the multiplying will be held up on you. But the blessing – oh! you went quiet right there. And uh, you know- but um. But it’s true! The multiplying power of God, I believe, is going to come on everybody. Everybody! While I was sitting in this, in this [meeting?] tonight I thought, I was thinking, “This anointing is going to get on everybody! I can taste it! I can smell it! It’s in the atmosphere.” (00:56-02:10)
