Deliverance minister Isaiah Saldivar, who is quickly becoming one of the prominent and visible representations of the charismatic right on account of a rapidly growing social media presence, continues to teach weird and wonky things to justify his raison d’être. We’ve written about him previously after he claimed that a gospel presentation without signs and wonders is inadequate, and due to his bizarre beliefs on demons impregnating humans and in a literal incubus and succubus.
This time, he teaches that the Apostle Peter was actually demon-possessed when Jesus told him in Matthew 16:23, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
“Matthew 16, Jesus said to Peter, ‘Satan and get behind me’ because Satan had influence and had entered Peter, Peter being a believer. That’s in Matthew 16. John 13, the Bible says that ‘Satan entered Judas’, another Christian, another believer, another follower of Jesus.
Now, some of you right now in the comments, you’re gonna say, Isaiah, okay, you gave us two definitions you gave us Peter, you gave us Judas. But what about after they received the Holy Spirit? What about in the book of Acts, there’s no believers in the book of Acts that had a demon.’ Wrong. Let’s go to Acts 4:6…Ananias and Sapphira.”
His interpretation of this is very novel, and this isn’t something that’s been taught in church history, particularly because a few verses back, Peter just confessed to Jesus after being asked who he and the people think he is; ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God’ and Jesus, in turn, calls him blessed and gives him the keys to the kingdom of heaven and tells him about the rock that he will build h

It’s so easy to go after the low hanging fruit-cakes in the charismatic outer fringe world eh? You have just as many on your side,
What ‘side’ is that?
