Isaiah Saldivar: ‘If You Criticize the Asbury Revival, You Might Not be Saved’
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.
He’s a 34-year-old revivalist and full-time social media influencer and content creator with 250k friends on Facebook, 412k subs on YouTube, 100k followers on Instagram, and another 350k followers on TikTok, where he has 3.5 Million likes.
We’ve written about him previously after he claimed that a gospel presentation without signs and wonders is inadequate, that the Apostle Peter was demon-possessed, and on account of his bizarre belief that demons can still impregnate humans and make literal incubus and succubus.
In a recent video, Saldivar came out against anyone who might criticise the ‘Asbury Revival’ saying that he questions the salvation of anyone who might say something bad about it.
Let’s be clear on this. These are thousands of young college students gathering. Not for a concert, not for a secular movie, not for a rave, not to come do drugs, not to come see a celebrity, they’re literally gathering to experience the presence of God. This is what America needs.
If you are a pastor or a leader that has anything negative to say about this, I don’t, I would even question if you’re even saved or not. I don’t even know what to tell you, because this is beautiful.”
Have seen that already happening. No one should just blindly read about something that is being said is “christian” (should I remind people about “The Prayer of Jabez,” prayer labyrinths, “christian” yoga, enneagram, contemplative prayer, etc) or watch a video stream (I did and that made me have REAL questions) and just say “oh, well, it’s good because it is Christian.” The devil is very deceiving today. One of my BIG concerns is that these young people are probably Biblically illiterate and easily led astray so I don’t know if they would know true Biblical teaching or not. Todd White’s attendance is VERY concerning. But be careful if you ask a question, then you get pounced. Happened to me. That alone makes me question this even more. Call it cynical if you want. I call it discerning and we better question everything today.
My apologies. I mean Todd Bentley.
I couldn’t agree more!
Religion’s Flavor of the Month.
This fake “revival” is offensive to those of us with Judeo-Christian values. It’s homophobic and racist, to start. I know this because because I want to seminary
You know this is a fake “revival” because nobody is yelling about how all the sodomites, Methodists and Charismatics are going to hell to burn forever.
At least they had the good sense to turn Bentley away. And Kenneth Copeland’s people as well.
Only time will tell if it is of God or not.
Test all spirits and if it is from God, no man can stand against it
