Then came what seemed like both John Lindell and Mark Droiscoll Reconciled you can see that here: Mark Driscoll, Was this all a Publicity Stunt To Promote His Book?

The whole situation is sad if you think about it. Part of being a Christian leader is taking responsibility for your actions. By now, I think most people could agree that John Lindell’s actions regarding having that kind of performance at the conferences was ill-advised.
Mark Driscoll should’ve talked to him privately before he went on stage and called out the church, and just twisted scripture to somehow make it about the “Jezebel Spirit.”
Then, John Lindell misuses the passage in Matthew 18, and he does the very thing he says Mark shouldn’t have done: rebuke publicly before talking privately.
The sad part is that Driscoll and Lindell’s talk and reconciliation after that incident seem staged and not genuine. Now this call for repentance From John Lindell
What are your thoughts on this?
Thinks he’s “God’s anointed” and yet, he doesn’t even know what the qualifications for being a pastor are…but he knows how to love money!
Seriously
God is telling me too warn you too stop calling a man of God out publicly, God is going too bring judgment upon you if you don’t repent and turn your grievance agsint a man that call out something that Z God gave him too say. You putt striff on my church is not what I called you too do and come out and call him a man that what he was told toovsay. Ye that has sin cast the first stone. Stop
Actually, we are encouraged to test every single spirit and to hold our leaders accountable.
