Sound Theology and Discernment

Justin Peters examines Philip Anthony Mitchell's report of a teenage girl being healed of deafness at the ACCESS gathering in Texas. He discusses the importance of verifying healing claims, reviews examples from faith-healing ministries, and compares those claims with the apostolic miracles recorded in Acts 3–4. While affirming that God can sovereignly heal today, Justin distinguishes that conviction from the belief that individuals possess the apostolic gift of healing. This episode encourages Christians to evaluate public claims by Scripture, seek clear evidence, and show compassion toward those who suffer.

Justin Peters examines several claims made by Bill Johnson concerning the presence of God, the Holy Spirit's work in believers, Peter's shadow, miraculous healing, and "bringing heaven to earth." Opening Scripture in context, Justin contrasts vague spiritual claims with the clear teaching of God's Word and calls Christians to practice biblical discernment.

Jesse Duplantis claimed that YouTube demonetized his channel because it was receiving too many views and that the platform told him he was outperforming Jimmy Kimmel. Justin Peters compares that claim with publicly available channel statistics and demonstrates the enormous disparity between the two audiences. He then addresses the deeper biblical issue: false teachers are repeatedly characterized by greed, deception, and the exploitation of those who trust them. In this episode of Sound Theology and Discernment, Justin explains why Christians must take dishonesty seriously, especially when it comes from someone who regularly claims to speak for God. Believers must test every teacher, every spiritual claim, and every alleged revelation by the sufficient and authoritative Word of God.
