Miracles, healing and hypnosis - the signs and wonders movement

Compare these two videos and decide which one is hypnosis:

1. A pentecostal church healing crusade in Australia:



2. Hypnosis being demonstrated on the TV show mythbusters:



The signs and wonders movement uses altered states of consciousness to create a state of suggestibility in those taking part. The altered states of consciousness are induced using long periods of rhythmic music, physical movement and then very strong commands when the person is disorientated.

Livingston Elim Church

I have been going along to this church for a few weeks and found it to be very friendly and open to the move of the holy spirit. It has been so refreshing to be accepted into a church family without any real reservations. Its a real community too with midweek meetings and lots of things to help strengthen one anothers faith.

Update 15th October 2007
Well I went to the Livingston Elim church (also known as Oasis Christian Centre) regularly for a year and nearly became a member, but I have stopped going now.
