magician pastor

odysseus SG

Hi. I'm new in Singapore and heard about this church who has a pastor who is a magician.

Can anyone tell me about this church?

sillyme SG

I think you’re refering to Pastor Lawrence Khong of FCBC?

Honeybunz SG

He's still around???

Many years ago, he was so famous. Every other converts claimed that they attend FCBC. That time FCBC was like a hot favourite, hot topic, before CHC came about.

Chin Eng SG

definitely Lawrence Khong…. still doing his magic act with his daughter, Priscilla. I think they will be appearing together with other “magicians” or “illusionist” in a magic show soon.

odysseus SG

Thanks.

Can you tell me more about this "famous" church. eg. denomination, doctrines they believe, is it a "proper church" or something one should stay away from. etc etc etc.

Sorry with all these questions but I just want to be careful as in Oz there are many "churches" which are not really churches at all and hide behind the facade of christianity and twist the word of God to their own conveniences. Hence when I heard of a pastor who is a magician ..... ???

Chin Eng SG

Odysseus,
I will pm you my reply.... by tomorrow....

Honeybunz SG

What you mean by magician???

Don't tell me he's another Sai Baba??!!! Shocked

odysseus SG

Thanks Chin Eng

Chin Eng SG

No lah.... he like David Copperfield, use props and slight of hand type. Has the same prop designer as Dave, name of this designer is Andre Kohl (also a magician/preacher). Khong also acts in privately produced family drama under some family/community ministry programme.

You my long lost sister???? Shocked

Honeybunz SG

What talking u? Shocked U ok or not? Confused

Chin Eng SG

you honeybunz chin wu eng, i chin eng….. just kidding…..

Honeybunz SG

Are they still having services at the former cinema at Marine Parade?

Magicians don't have a good reputation in Scripture.

Think of those court magicians during Moses time.

Then think of the most famous magician in the NT - Simon Magnus! Very Happy

i've seen him perform at suntec convention hall b4. its not bad, really, but after that the preaching starts and i sian 1/2 liaoz.

anyway he said that the purpose of the performance is the show that everything is fake and simi devils use the same method to misled us or some thing like tat lah. so, on the whole, its still to spread the good of christianity.
