The David Spoon Experience Part 2 6-30-2022

These 60-minutes are all about: 1) They prayed for the new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit. As most of you know, this is a contention for Baptists, Pentecostals, and several other faiths. This is NOT a matter of fellowship but doctrinal distinction. Are these people Christians? That is what it says in the text. What’s the difference? They were not baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, so they did not know about the Holy Spirit. 2) The Apostles’ prayer is that they would RECEIVE the Holy Spirit. They needed to receive the Holy Spirit because the FULL Gospel was not what they understood. Comforter? Counselor? Whose that? But be honest, no tongues are listed here. So, step back a bit. Please don’t try to justify your church wisdom as much as listen. I know both sides well. 3) Simon saw that new Christians were receiving the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the Apostles’ hands; he wanted that power. He could make a fortune if he could sell God’s presence in people’s lives. But God’s gifts cannot be bought. Not by anyone, anywhere, for anything. And Peter coins a phrase (yes, he did) that often gets the kid gloves treatment for interpretation. He told Simon to go to H…E…Double Hockey sticks. Peter burned him. And he would be burned again—double ouch.

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.

Just ask him.
