This review is from: The Laughing Revival from Azusa to Pensacola (Paperback)

David Cloud is a very studious preacher. Though many people make numerous libelous (false) statments regarding Cloud, they only do so out of bigotry and ignorance. In this book, Cloud shows the truth concerning the laughing "revivals." The only reason someone would reject the truth is because they are espoused to their religious circle, and therefore bow their knee to every dictate of their religious leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book-- Bad Review, December 3, 2002

This is a good, well-resaerched book. It's a good investment.

Mainly, though, I want to say that whoever wrote the negative review below is truly guilty of lying in about 5 specific cases. I don't even say this to defend Cloud. It's just that Cloud's real views are quite public (he has an enormous website) and it can be easily proven that, again, at least five of these accusations (by the Michigan reviewer below) are patently false.

That person should be ashamed if he is a Christian, but I am afraid there won't be any remorse.

Anyway, what I am saying is true. Check it out for yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cloud is a cult member, November 13, 2001

This review is from: The Laughing Revival from Azusa to Pensacola (Paperback)

If you want the straight dope on the Laughing Revival, read "Counterfeit Revival." Don't read anything by David Cloud.

Here's the dope on Cloud:

Cloud is a failed Baptist minister who now writes for a cult group that insists that evangelical Christians are really Liberals in league with the Vatican to usher in the reign of the Anti-Christ. The King James Bible, in Cloud's view, supersedes the original Greek and Hebrew scriptures. Cloud says that evangelical Christians are "apostate" because they feed the poor and take care of the sick - things that a "true Christian" would never do, since a "true Christian" would be too busy ranting and raving about the KJV. According to Cloud, the only true Christians are independent Bible Baptists who read only the KJV AND who only follow David Cloud. (If you follow another KJV-Onlyist, like Peter Ruckman, then you're no good, either, because only David W. Cloud is chosen by God to lead the KJV movement.)

If you want to read what some self-published nutcase has to say about Pentecostalism, this book's for you.
