You can watch the video of this talk from 300 leaders here and read my notes below: The whole world is connecting. Bob spoke of his joy at being in Jubilee Church and meeting Tope Koleoso, a leader of a multicultural church. Such connections help us learn. For example, Bob has found interacting with Muslims has helped him strengthen his thinking eg on the Trinity. Bob spoke of his beliefs about and encounter with The Holy Spirit.

How Charismatic are YOU? A Spectrum of belief and practice
December 1, 2011 By 28 Comments
Today, in the tradition of my previous Arminocalvinist Spectrum, Evolution vs Creationism Spectrum and Spectrum of belief on hell and salvation I present a "Charismatic-cessationist spectrum." For some more background on this issue, and a fairly typical charismatic perspective see my series of posts on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. As usual this may be a bit of a living document for a couple of days as I welcome suggestions for improvement from others. Intriguingly this spectrum … [Read more...]

November 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Yesterday I promised to blog about the two other speakers at the next 300 Leaders conference. Dave Devenish should be no stranger to regular readers of this blog, as I have serialised a chapter of his outstanding book Fathering Leaders, Motivating Mission, and interviewed him. His is a remarkable man who gave up a successful career in international banking to serve Jesus. Content to minister alongside Terry Virgo, he has been a massive part of what God has been doing through Newfrontiers for … [Read more...]

November 17, 2011 By 2 Comments
It is a real pleasure to me to let you know that Tope has invited our friend Bob Roberts to be one of three speakers at the next 300 leaders event.

He travels to places most American evangelicals wouldn't, including Vietnam and the Middle East. Bob urges both global and local engagement by every church member. He is also still very keen to learn from … [Read more...]
Terry Virgo on the future of Newfrontiers, transition, but not retiring just yet
July 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Adrian: So here’s the thing, you look at all of that, it’s all going fantastic. And there are points along the line where there’s been these transitional moments. Like Downs comes then you stop it. Then you have an advance. Stoneleigh comes along and 10 years in you stop it and advance. Now the Brighton conference, and thats now coming to an end. This is the last Brighton conference. But there’s other changes as well. But why would you kind of mess it up? When actually it’s worked so … [Read more...]
Terry Virgo on moving from Brighton to London
July 5, 2011 By 2 Comments
Tope: I’ve got to ask you. You, are moving to London, and I live in London. You are very welcome to my city! But why are you moving to London? Terry: Well, it’s fascinating. It’s something I never anticipated happening. I was born in Brighton and when I first left secular work, I really felt God gave me promises for Brighton. Quite amazing to be honest. I can show you whole Bibles with verses underlined and things written in the margin. And I really felt God was going to do something … [Read more...]
Virgo: Joseph as a picture of the charismatic church
July 4, 2011 By 2 Comments
Tope: I remember, actually, you tweeted recently that you listened to a sermon that you preached... how long ago was that? Terry: Thirty years ago...yah. Tope: And the voice was different. Terry: That’s funny, yes, my son, my youngest son said to me ‘Have you heard your voice on this recording?’ So I said ‘What’s he talking about?’ So I turned it on and it’s strange how your own voice sounds so different thirty years ago. But I was talking about Joseph and just listening … [Read more...]

June 22, 2011 By 1 Comment
Here is the video, downloads and my notes from Terry Virgo's second session at this month's 300 Leaders event: Downloads: mp3, video In his first session, Terry spoke about the Spirit-filled church. This requires Spirit-filled people. We need to help people come into understanding, so they will be clear. Terry will almost always explain the Bible to people before praying for them to receive. Acts 1:4. V8 is called the key to understanding the book of Acts. The disciples had … [Read more...]
