I know John claimed to have received his revelation of the Living Word while waiting on the Lord in a remodeled chicken coup, but outside of him being the Door Opener Apostle and Marilyn being the Lamp of Israel, his teaching is all Latter Rain stuff that he claimed as his own. I can't seem to find either title mentioned in the teachings of Jesus - especially in light of their apparent importance. One of John's relatives emailed me that after Martha died, they removed a bunch of Latter Rain reel-to-reel tapes that had belonged to John. He said many times that he was never involved in the Latter Rain movement, but his teaching shows he certainly was under their influence. I would suggest, as Apostle Dog has recommended, that we compare these teachings with the teaching of Jesus - they don't match up. While we are at it, we might want to look at the context of "unequal yoke" and see if it mentions anything about divorce when there are doctrinal difference or one spouse leaves TLWF. I have heard that there is more of a focus on the Bible than on LW materials in services that are open to the public. I seriously doubt the root has changed and would expect to see a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be something they are not.
