While it is also possible this is not the case, I do not believe that God sends messages/prophecy via sinful or highly-errant means. At best Bell is now neo-orthodox although at one time he was actually quite sound as an expositor of Scripture. As one who used to hear Bell back in his Calvary Church days told me recently, think MacArthur. However, after Bell and his wife read A New Kind of Christian by Brian McLaren, as you will now see like most Emergents Bell has rejected sola Scriptura. This is an irrefutable fact.

Memorable Quotes: Ben said, ‘I have taken care of this small farm, just like you asked me to. I also went out across the countryside, decrying the farming techniques Bob was using. He was using machines to till the soil, and not his hands, and he was wasting his time giving food to the poor and water to the thirsty instead of farming the way that is right in my eyes. I would have done more, O King, but I did not have the funds to do so. Why did you not give me more?’ [...] [...] Source: Fishing the Abyss Comments: The ‘Reverend’ Ken Silva posted an open letter to his supporters, denigrating them for not giving enough and begging for money to allow him to attack legitimate Christian ministries full time.  In response, Chris posted a parable comparing those who seek to serve others and those who seek to tear down the church, and how God honors them.

Especially "For Readers of AM". I was going to write a response, but I decided to follow Ingrid's advice in her rules on commenting: don't feed the trolls. BTW, you seen Ken’s latest?
