This article could do with a good clean-up and extra, sourced information on the movement and its figures, such as Cindy Jacobs etc. David L Rattigan 16:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the article can be useful, but ther needs to be more citation for the information and the existing information should brought into a more generic format. By using exact examples such as the Paul CAin etc. it limits the article. JWPhil 12:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, on a second reading I find the entire article fairly useless. By the time you are done with hte article you really have gained no knowledge on this movement. I will attempt a re-write that will focus on the development of the movement, the theological mainstays, the experience on a grassroots level and the implications of such a movement on both mainstream christianity and the churches involved.

There is a disambiguation issue with respect to Bob Jones - the individual referred to in the article is not included on the disambiguation page. (Bob Jones the "prophet" is not any of the individuals associated with the university of that name.) I've removed the wikilink for that name for the moment until the disambiguation page is amended.

There seems to be great subjectivity on what prophecy is, according to this page. I've included a reference from Jonathan Edwards' work on Revival in order to add some balance but there remains a great deal of opinion in the article. A link to what prophecy is would help as well.

Politically inflammatory remarks such as "the supreme court elected George Bush" have no place here whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.26.243.3 (talk) 17:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC) I do like the burning bush statement. I know that is what was said, but no one thought 'arsonist'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.193.24.101 (talk) 06:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
