“Look at all those chumps falling for that stuff!”

No, they’re not chumps.

Matt 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

What we’re witnessing now with the present commotion over Lakeland, and its “infection” of the charismatic church world, is only the beginning* of the fulfillment of Matt. 24:24, and therefore it’s something very solemn, not a joke, bcos our Lord said that even His own, His elect, could nearly be deceived by the deception – that’s how clever and subtle it is, as a counterfeit. It’s not something to mock.

The elect can’t be “nearly” deceived by the obvious cults; its something which arises from within the legitimate/orthodox evangelical stream which is the great test for the elect.

* The beginning, bcos the real crunch will come when there are GREAT signs and wonders. That hasn’t happened yet.
