Teresa Dedmon / Bethel: selling art as a vehicle for "spiritual impartation" and prophetic clothing that enhances God's presence is false teaching and commercial exploitation.

Does This Verse Teach Cessationism? And a Bit On Bethel. 1 Cor 13_10-12 00:35:28 – 00:39:03

Second specific example from Bethel: the creative arts director's website claims her paintings and clothing impart heaven's presence.

Teresa Dedmon, creative arts director at Bethel since 2003, advertises her artwork as providing "a spiritual impartation of the imprint of heaven" and sells "angel surrounds you leggings" for .95, claiming wearing them enhances awareness of God's presence and makes the wearer a "walking encounter." Winger calls this a product of social engineering within hyper-charismatic culture: people are trained to fake prophetic activity and trust God will validate it. He grieves the commercial dimension and the harm done to people who believe the claims.
