TONY ALAMO’S SECRETS EXPOSED!
In: Secrets Exposed!
Tony Alamo has a document on his website with headlines from newspapers stating “Lawyers Drop Alamo Case”, “Alamo Child Abuse Charges Dropped”, ” Evangelist Alamo Won’t Face Child Abuse Charges”, and so on, but there are no articles to follow, only the headlines. The reason for this is clear. Tony Alamo has claimed that the charges were dropped because he was innocent but the articles that belong to the headlines tell another story. A story of Tony Alamo in hiding for several years once he found out there was an investigation and then a long drawn-out trial for tax evasion that became the focus of prosecutors instead of the child abuse charges. Research the articles for yourself and you will not find one that says Tony Alamo was innocent of the charges or that the charges were dropped because Alamo was found not guilty. Below is just one of the articles in their entirety.

Children Rescued From Alamo Cult
After a bitter custody dispute, these children were rescued from the Alamo group and spent time at Wellspring Retreat with their mother while she received counseling. The names of the children have been changed to protect their identity. Sadly, the four younger children were abducted by their father shortly after and returned to the cult where they still remain.

The acid test for identifying a prophet of God is recorded by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:20-22. According to this Bible passage (and others), God’s prophets, as distinct from Satan’s spokesmen, are 100 percent accurate in their predictions. There is no room for error.
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
