Controversial movement that started out fine, but became known for its emphasis on experience over Scripture. Was responsible for giving the Kansas City Prophets an international platform. Its unbalanced approach to spiritual gifts (teaching the practice thereof without teaching people how to discern the difference between Biblical and un-Biblical teachings and practices) eventually led to such aberrancies as the Toronto Blessing Movement.

It appears that in recent years the Vineyard movement has matured quite a bit - a process that, perhaps, started around the time the movement cautiously distanced itself from the Toronto Blessing Movement.
John Wimber, Founder (1934 - 1997).

Berten Waggoner is the National Director and President of The Vineyard, USA.

Apologetics Index (apologeticsindex.org, countercult.com, cultfaq.org) provides 25,000+ pages of research resources on religious cults, sects, new religious movements, alternative religions, apologetics-, anticult-, and countercult organizations, doctrines, religious practices and world views. These resources reflect a variety of theological and/or sociological perspectives.

The site provides information that helps equip Christians to logically present and defend the Christian faith, and that aids non-Christians in their comparison of various religious claims. Issues addressed range from spiritual and cultic abuse to contemporary theological and/or sociological concerns.

Apologetics Index also includes ex-cult support resources - including a directory of cult experts (CultExperts.org), up-to-date religion and cult news (Religon News Blog: ReligionNewsBlog.com), articles on Christian life and ministry, and a variety of other features.
