Weird Theology in Wasilla: A Look Inside Sarah Palin's Pentecostal Church
On June 8, 2008 Palin was publicly blessed, with the "laying on of hands" before six thousand Wasilla area church members, by Head Wasilla Assembly of God Pastor Ed Kalnins and on the same day both Kalnins and Palin described, at a "Masters Commission" ceremony at the Wasilla Assembly of God church, how she had been blessed prior to winning the Alaska governorship by an African cleric known for driving the "spirit of witchcraft" out of a town in Kenya, after which town supposedly crime rates dropped "almost to zero."

Sarah Palin's churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same 'Spiritual Warfare' movement that was featured in the award winning movie, "Jesus Camp," which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin's churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young "Joel's Army" to take dominion over the United States and the world.

Along with her entire family, Sarah Palin was re-baptized at twelve at the Wasilla Assembly of God in Wasilla, Alaska and she attended the church from the time she was ten until 2002: over two and 1/2 decades. Sarah Palin's extensive pattern of association with the Wasilla Assembly of God has continued nearly up to the day she was picked by Senator John McCain as a vice-presidential running mate.

<snip>

The Third Wave is a revival of the theology of the Latter Rain tent revivals of the 1950s and 1960s led by William Branham and others. It is based on the idea that in the end times there will be an outpouring of supernatural powers on a group of Christians that will take authority over the existing church and the world. The believing Christians of the world will be reorganized under the Fivefold Ministry and the church restructured under the authority of Prophets and Apostles and others anointed by God. The young generation will form "Joel's Army" to rise up and battle evil and retake the earth for God.


Link to story with a video of her crazy church blessing cell phones, speaking in tongues, casting spells and other insanity.

3. I'm Sorry
Lol I go to a Pentecostal Church. Speaking in tongues is a gife from God, you can't train people to do it. Here in Act 19:1-7 and 1 Corinthians 12:27-31. We ain't going to Alaska for God and there is no Joel's Army, only God's Army. We are not God's people the Jews are God's people. We are just his Children. We his Children are suppost to Protect his people. When the Nazi's did that to them and when the Jews came over here to be safe, our government turn them away. And when God comes look to the East not alaska. And you will see him standing on the clouds, but for those that can't see will be left behide. So that Church in Alaska might like to read the Bible again. I don't speak in tongues because God haven't give me that Gift. Sorry If I sound weird but I am telling the truth.
