"Mike (Winger) we love you, and we're thankful. You're a godly man and a brother, and we appreciate you."
During their post-service message yesterday, Bethel Church leaders publicly thank Mike Winger for his video, for protecting victims and bringing this to light."
I want you to follow this logic:
Bethel Church: "We have no authority over Shawn Bolz"
Shawn Bolz: "Che Ahn is my apostle"
Che Ahn: "Bill Johnson is my apostle and my pastor"
The "apostolic covering" for Shawn was himself under the "covering" of Bill Johnson.
The "apostle" over Shawn's "apostle" was the "apostle" over Bethel.
The only proper conclusion is this: these individuals want the influence of apostolic authority but they do not want the burden of apostolic rebuke.

@DavidFish7 I just found these clips! Very important.
Che Ahn calling Bill his apostle
1: during his announcement of his run for governor of CA.
2: During interview with Bill
Note the irony of him doing so while saying "I believe in accountability"
Throughout the revealed text messages from @kvministries about #shawnbolz he constantly talks about Shawn refusing to “clean up his mess.” As if sexual perversion (crimes) is just a simple matter for the individual perpetrator to deal with alone. Shawn should be in jail.
🇮🇪 IRISH TEACHER ARRESTED AGAIN AFTER REFUSING TO USE "THEY" PRONOUN FOR STUDENT
Back in cuffs again. Enoch Burke, the Irish teacher who’s already spent over 560 days in jail, was arrested again this morning outside Wilson’s Hospital School.
Why? He wouldn’t call a male student “they,” as demanded by the school principal.
"This is all about transgender ideology, forcing it upon every school in the country.
They want silence, not debate. But my conscience will bring me back to this gate.
I was never told I had to renounce my Christian beliefs to do this job.
They can throw me in a prison cell, but they can’t force me to lie."

In his response to the @MikeWingerii video, Kris Vallotton expressed his incredulity that anyone would ever expect a pastor to publicly tell the church about a leader who is in unrepentant sin.
(Remember, Kris is the one who privately called shawn a "deceiver" and "unrepentant." HIS words, not mine)
And here Kris is saying, "If only we had a way of dealing with unrepentant sin..."
We do, Kris. It's all over the NT.
Bad ecclesiology enables bad actors.
Our doctrine of the church affects everything.
Kris, I spent my childhood at dinner tables with you. I admired you. I believed in you.
And it has come to this?
First you soft-pedaled Mike Bickle's abuse by saying, "Mike Bickle is my friend" instead of saying, "I support Mike's victims."
Now, with an hour available on a platform, you say everything except the one thing we needed to hear from you: "I'm sorry. I failed in my role as a shepherd. We failed as a church. We will do our best to make this right with Shawn's victims. We will never let this happen again."
I write this sincerely with profound grief in my heart.
A church that is incapable or unwilling to exercise church discipline is, according to our Protestant forefathers, not a church at all.
This is exactly how much money that has come in for my video on Shawn Bolz and Bethel.
In the first two days it has had about 350,000 views.
Revenue? $0
Kris Vallotton implied to his church (and the online audience) that I was making thousands of dollars from it. Not true.
🚨 BREAKING: Erika Kirk forgives the killer of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson.
"Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do."
"That young man. I forgive him."
If this doesn't give somebody chills, I don't know what will.
