Satan's Religion
B.H. Clendennen

Bertram H. Clendennen (1922–2009). Born on May 22, 1922, in Vidor, Texas, into a large, poor family, B.H. Clendennen, known as Bert, grew up with little exposure to faith, despite churches dotting his hometown. After graduating high school in 1940, he joined the U.S. Marines post-Pearl Harbor, serving in the South Pacific at Peleliu, where combat stirred spiritual questions. Saved in 1949 at age 27, he felt called to ministry in 1953 and was ordained by the Assemblies of God. In 1956, he founded Victory Temple (later Victory Tabernacle) in Beaumont, Texas, pastoring for 35 years and growing it into a missions-focused church. One of the first three preachers to broadcast on U.S. television, he reached wide audiences with his conservative Pentecostal sermons emphasizing repentance and the Holy Spirit’s power. In 1967, he ministered in Tanzania, raising funds to build 15 churches, and preached globally in Vietnam, Iran, India, and Zaire, often in perilous conditions. At 70, in 1992, he moved to Russia with his wife, Janice, founding the School of Christ International, which trained leaders in over 130 nations across every continent by his death. Clendennen authored books like The Prodigal Church and The Ultimate Thing, urging a return to Pentecost’s simplicity. He died on December 13, 2009, in Beaumont, survived by his wife, daughter Brenda, and son Mark. He said, “The purpose of Pentecost is to reproduce Christ in the believer.”

Isaiah chapter 4 in verse 1. Isaiah chapter 4 in verse 1. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man saying we will eat our own bread wear our own apparel only let us let us buy let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach. Then in Isaiah 14 verses 13 and 14 now talking about Lucifer has said in thine heart I'll ascend into heaven I'll exalt my throne above the stars of God I'll sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north I will ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most high. 2nd Corinthians verse 4 and 4 talks about the God of this world. I want to talk to you this morning you here and you in this television audience what I believe is a very important matter dealing with this thought of Satan's religion and I'm not going to get into the occults I'm going to talk about what happens inside and underneath signs that call themselves Christian churches talk about the work of Satan in his effort to dilute and compromise the message of Christ in this hour I was listening to a man speak Dr. McBurney on the television yesterday afternoon and he was reading from the book of Revelation of the seven churches that were at that point of time in Asia and every Bible scholar that seriously studied the book of Revelation has reached the conclusion that that is a church age bounded from Ephesus to Laodicea and he made this statement he said the things said here have very little meaning in their really thought that's being projected here except to the first and the last generation of the church he talks all in between the gospel is preached but as he laid out how significant it was that first understood what's going to happen then the last realize when it's happening that it is upon us it is come now the devil does not oppose religion I want to make it very clear to you in the service the devil does not oppose religion he craves to be worship it is a very heart and soul of the devil what I just read to you I'll be like the Most High he craves worship amen his heart's desire is not to oppose God but to be like God to imitate God he is an imitator duplicator and a counterfeiter all the way through he's never original he's always an imitation of something because he's always reaching for what he doesn't have and cannot possess now his highest goal is to produce that which looks real and then receive worship from it and I'd like to make a statement here to you this morning whenever we can be led to worship in a false way that is when we look at God in a way that God is and we we have created an idol and the devil accepts that worship there's a lot of that going on today the principle of counterfeit religion I believe is in the scripture I read in Isaiah chapter 4 in verse 1 women in the Bible often are pictures of religion the false and the true you find it throughout the Bible that women are usually set up the man in Isaiah is many times a picture of Christ and as I looked at this and thought on this a long time and looked at what's happening in our world today I'm saying that there's many religious movements that is providing their own doctrine spiritual food that is bread producing their own ways of righteousness their apparel yet wanted to use the name of Jesus to lift themselves above the well deserved reproach of Christian humanism that we have so much of today they have their own thought they rewrote the Bible much of the new translations of the Bible is an effort to say that there was an error in what God had to say to us much of it I'm not saying that much couldn't been corrected I can tell you the devil has more money you can count and healed he'll rewrite the Bible to change one statement in this Bible I was listening to a dialogue between a man that was once a homosexual had been delivered and was a preacher and one that was a preacher are claiming to be and still a homosexual and the man telling him that cannot be God's word is against that and he said show me in the Bible and he took him to the first chapter of the book of Romans and he said that Jerusalem translation doesn't read like that it's not easy to retranslate and to write it out but listen this book is a book of God and when you change this book in any direction then God isn't there and the worship you offer is accepted by the devil I said it's accepted by the devil the Bible gives us much help and seeing both the nature and deception of Satan's religion the principle of the counterfeit is I will be like the Most High it's a cornerstone of the whole operation of hell I'll be like God he's in the religious business I can tell you that deep in religious business listen to this in 1st Timothy 4 verses 1-4 now the spirit speak of expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry commanded to abstain from meats which God have created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth for every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving now Satan has doctrines you listen he has doctrines 1st Timothy 4 and 1 reminds us and gives us a clear warning that their doctrines of devils I preached a message on that saying to you that whatever whatever is preached that doesn't make me a more holy person what is used to this Bible as a success story to help me fulfill my own ambitions but doesn't leave me a more holy person is a doctrine of the devil you can mark that down the devil has doctrines while God's doctrine is singular and united and cohesive Satan offers a great variety of doctrines he'll make it fit you you don't like to believe the Bible's too narrow he'll broaden it for you he'll tell you you can live like the devil and still go to heaven he'll pull the Bible out of context and say to you that all you've got to do is repeat some little formula prayer at an altar and it'll be well with your soul he's a liar he wants to imitate God and you'll take the Bible and destroy it in his effort to destroy you in the devil's religion you may have different paths yet worship the same God but it's a god of this world go to the same place hell for him all roads lead to the same place I've heard that said from a Christian pulpit I heard a man preaching and the city is preaching he said there's many roads that lead to the city and he wants to give that an illustration of heaven there may be a lot of roads coming to Beaumont but there's one road goes to heaven and the Bible says it's Jesus no man will ever see God unless he sees him in Christ no man however Jesus said no man cometh to me but come to the father but by me John 14 and 6 some of the earmarks of counterfeit doctrines are found here in first Timothy 4 and 4 number one seduction is practice you know the man wrote the book the seduction of Christianity what a powerful book he wrote another one beyond seduction it is a devil's interest to seduce to lead you down in a different pathway second hypocrisy professing without really possession how much of the church is made up of pairs in this hour I mean people that have never been born again dr. Ironside in his day said that he believed that that 85% of the people go to church are lost 85% that said in the church and profess to be Christians have never been born again was a message dr. Ironside said in his day we have dr. Oz passed through here and he made a statement he said in crossing this nation I've been led to believe that 85% of the so-called baptisms or Holy Ghost is nothing more than spiritism it is a spirit but not the Holy Spirit because it doesn't produce holiness in the life of those that are to be filled with it lies verse 2 hell is built on a line anything anything that will make you believe different than this book is a lie to make you believe that you can make Jesus your Savior without him being your Lord it's a lie told out of hell but it's being propagated in Pentecostal pulpits that a man can make Jesus Lord or make Jesus his Savior and go to heaven without Christ ever being his Lord that's a lie you don't the narrow gate isn't 25 years down the road that's where you get in that straight is the gate and narrow is the way and few there be that find it again he talks about a seared conscience of verse 2 then wrong views of marriage teaching against marriage and teaching wrong views as concerning dietary laws especially the teaching of restricted meeting eating or vegetarianism I have no argument man wants to be a vegetarian have no argument don't want to eat meat I'm telling you if it becomes a religious act it's idolatry you think you're any holier because you don't eat a beefsteak you're wrong and you're more than wrong you're lost if you get to mixing that in as a part of the religious system to believe that because you don't eat anything but vegetables makes you a more holy person as a liar sold by hell ladies and gentlemen Satan has pictures it's no great thing the Bible says if his ministers also be transformed as into ministers of righteousness 2nd Corinthians 11 15 these are not liberals Christ denied modernist but rather lost preachers who creepy and secretly among the evangelical and Pentecostal listen to it in Jude 4 for their certain man crappy and unaware who were before the Lord into this condemnation ungodly man turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and Lord Jesus Christ but there were also false prophets among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you who privilege you bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that brought them 2nd Peter chapter 2 and verse 1 they look right sound right but they're not right they learn how to say a lot of right things they know how to go through the motions but the Bible said there's many of them there that are not there they're not right they appear as ministers of righteousness without being righteous ministers this is what's happening in this hour how much look at it across this nation today the heart breaking thing of people with churches running in the thousands and then come to find out for years have been running the harem amen people weeping carrying on look look righteous but not righteous carrying on what's supposed to be a righteous ministry but not righteous themselves we're not to be surprised for God said this is no great thing that the devil can turn his emissaries into ministers of righteousness they can preach and sound like it's real but their life will ultimately determine what they are until you buy their fruit you'll know I'm not by the head knowledge amen to be by the fruit of that life and fruit always fruit is you take the the epistle of John the first epistle of John God has led me I said Winston I have to read this over about 15 or 20 times in the last eight or ten days this first epistle of John you read through there you take you take the fifth chapter and the fourth verse and it says he that believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God amen again up in the fourth chapter it talks about he that confesses that Jesus is a Christ is born of God men pull that out of the context amen and make that the criteria alone for being saved without saying to the man that it is all you need is to believe on Christ but if you believe there'll be fruit of that life that says you're saying thereby we know that he's in us and we're in him because we keep his commandments and we love the brethren there's a fruit of life that God is looking for not the ability to quote a scripture but the ability to live the Bible is what God is looking for you can't live that unless you're born again church and an obedience to God Almighty amen the devil has churches listen I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews but are not but are of the synagogue of the devil amen revelation 2 and 9 they're filled with empty professors of salvation listen who have never been supernaturally born of the Spirit of God but filled with people that profess to be their synagogue of Satan shows they're being tied to a dead legalism and tradition of the past rather than to Jesus the head of the church they're not a part of it Satan not only has doctrines not only does he have churches but he has deeper things revelation 224 but under you I say and under the rest in Thyatira as many as have not this doctrine and which have not known the depth of Satan as they speak many believers have been misled by counterfeit deeper life movements this country's been plagued you don't get in deeper than Christ the whole work of this gospel is to conform me to Christ I can read through these Gospels and watch him who is both God and man walk this earth I can tell you what the depth of this gospel is is to be like Jesus to be a holy righteous person it isn't to get off into the mysticism of things that men can't understand but is to walk with God many have been misled that it's weaned them from the truth of God to the shallow rim of an experience centered religion much of the depth of religion today hinges on some kind of an emotional experience that somebody had I know a woman wife and I hold the meeting a lot of years ago in a little church and she believed that a person was sanctified like they're born again but it wasn't a progressive work it's just like one point in time you're sanctified and the old man's dead forever I said I don't believe that when it ever happened to you well she said I was praying at the altar and I fell out under the power and said I was sanctified but she got mad at me because I didn't believe it I said it's a mighty thin layer of sanctification you're wearing let me tell you something ladies and gentlemen it's a lifetime you don't go any deeper than Christ I walk with Christ in the Holy Spirit he reveals Christ to me and changes me into his image that's the work of God in lives amen often the satanic motive of I will instead of God's will rests at the foundation of their doctrine and practice it's I will I will I will it's amazing when you listen to some of the preaching today I was listening to a man talk about how to be a winner and I'm telling you gonna be a winner it's you not God you let God have the glory for it but you actually done it that's what's the whole key of things and it's a whole key of the devil's fall I will ascend above the throne I will I will I will I will die that Christ can live is what the gospel is trying to say to us Satan has a fellowship has a cup has a table what say I then that the idol is anything of that which is offered in sacrifice to the idol is anything but I say that the things with the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice the devil's now I'm gonna read on but I want to show you something he said that idol is nothing and what they offer to is nothing but he said I'm gonna tell you and what he's really saying is when that is made then the devil accepts that worship amen I said the devil accepts that worship Paul said they sacrifice the devil's and I just said that idol wasn't nothing but he's saying the devil is collecting that worship and not to God I would not that you should have fellowship with devils you cannot partake of the Lord's table on the table of devils do we put provoke the Lord to jealousy are we stronger than he that's first Corinthians 19 through 22 now the danger of idolatry is that demons operate behind all the various forms all of you there's no innocent idolatry when when dr. Oz in Mexico City he insists Ross both have gone on to glory now but down there they get a person saved they send up they send a family of the church home they clean out all the icons all the pictures of Jesus all the pictures of Virgin Mary they take him out in the yard and burn him he said to me there's a nest of demons hiding in that I'm telling you behind every idol whatever it is there's a devil there's only one God whatever you conjure in your mind him to be it better fit this book are you worshiping an idol you worship at the at the table of the devil even the deception of idolatry is that many of its followers never suspect themselves to be an idolatry idols may be number one physical three-dimensional images I see people these all time they pray the saints they said well we're not worshiping you worship what you pray to they may be three-dimensional images other may be physical two-dimensional images that is pictures icons etc whatever whatever they can be there are idols though they can be it can be the the sacraments can be the wafer and the wine of the of the communion of the mass can become more than God ever intended their symbols of something they are nothing and when you believe there are something you are bowing your knee at an idol you hear me this morning I saw people I went brother brother Humphrey and I set in a meeting in the city for a penny assembly of God preacher was preaching and he was saying I use this communion to heal people you remember we're sitting there together I said can you believe we're here and what we're hearing he said I take this into the into the into the hospital and I give it to him and I tell him that they're partaking of a body of Christ oh I want to kick a pew over I didn't wrong there I I knew I didn't but I watch people shout over such nonsense let me tell you something you may as well bow your knee to an idol has to believe there's anything other than symbolism there Christ sits on the right hand of God he's not in a grape juice bottle he's not in a cracker box he's alive thank God in my heart there's so much you see we make too much out of something and when we do there's only one thing you can make much out of that's Christ and when you begin to make something out or something that's symbolic of him that points to him you can't worship that and it must never be the wrong desires of the heart can become an idol Ezekiel 14 verses 1 through 8 it'll not take time to read it you may mark it mental images of what God looks like Exodus 20 verses 4 through 5 and Romans 1 20 through 21 but listen the essence of idolatry is for you to imagine something about God then act like it's so to get it fixed in your mind people say when you pray I've listened are reading a book on this inner healing it's a part of the neo-pentecostal teaching amen said when you when when you go to these inner healers amen they lead you backward backward to your mother's womb and there when you're coming forward then you're supposed to visualize to see Jesus doesn't matter what he looks like I'll tell you it matters what he looks like just just believe that's him that is those grossest idolatry of the age in which we are living in let me tell you this book is God I don't have to imagine anything when the Holy Spirit makes it alive in the beginning was a word and the word was with God and the word was God that don't leave me any room to dream whether God's ball-headed curly headed or white headed I just say God is God I don't know what you look like but I love you God from this Bible mental images another another danger of idolatry and the form it takes on his family position possessions accomplishments how much has become God to a lot of people oh yes sir this is an age when the church preaches made poor folks feel bad amen that's right God must not love me I don't have a Rolls-Royce I don't have a Cadillac they preach the gospel and made poor people uncomfortable one man preaching said that talking about he said driving a luxury car hadn't got anything to do with humility and he is talking about a luxury car is fifty or sixty thousand dollar automobiles he said it's no humility involved in you're not driving it's just you don't understand the laws of God's prosperity not a thing on this earth wrong you having a good car but if you think for one minute ladies and gentlemen that your faith is greater than somebody else's that's driving a Volkswagen you're wrong that hasn't got anything to do with faith that's just living on this earth I personally like to have a Lincoln town car myself don't own one right now but I wouldn't know it wouldn't have one thing to do with me being any closer to God's what I'm telling you even in communion service I said well God dollar to maybe practice many worship films has some magic in some magic amen millions of people believe that's where they got Jesus amen with that with that part of those communion elements amen they're real temptation to those who hold the truth amen any act of worship or adoration not given in proper manner to God is always accepted by the devil I never saw that my life till recently any any any act of worship that's in the wrong manner not accepted by God will be accepted by the devil that's what Paul is saying you go off for your little sacrifice to an idol and he said there's nothing to that idol and what you offered is nothing Paul had no qualms at all about eating a good piece of meat been offered to a to an idol but he said I can tell you this when you offer it to that idol then the devil accepts that as worship you know worship in hell many Christians they're real temptation to those who hold the truth to let the solemn time of obedience become something other than what God has taught in the word while outwardly many communion service may appear right the truth is that some may produce a communion with demons instead of Jesus amen because you you're making more out of the product than you are out of the person of Christ himself I remember his death in that communion service amen I know that that cracker is in his body I know that grape juice is in his blood but I do know there was a body broke for me I knew there was blood shed for me I know that I can be healed I am saved by the grace of God because of what that represents Satan listen not only that he promote formalism and outward following of the truth oh he'll promote that oh he's he's sharp he's an imitator but he's sharp or he's not a Jew which is one outward now there's that circumcision which is outward in the flesh but he is a Jew which is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit not in the letter where praise is not of men but of God now the Pharisees listen they were the lost evangelicals and fundamentalists of their day they were the they were yet Jesus said of them you are of your father the devil I mean here you got folks they're they're the fundamentalist brother they they send you to hell for picking up a stick on a Saturday amen but Jesus said of them your father is the devil he said again you serpents you generation of vipers talking to religious folks the evangelicals of the year of the year zero and on up to the first century he's saying to him you're a generation of vipers the fundamental preachers of his day I mean listen to what he says you're like under whitened sepulchres which appear beautiful outward but are within full of dead men's bones and all uncleanliness that's Matthew 23 I had to make one proselyte and what he's made you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourself whoa unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites now listen their doctrine and teaching this is really this really struck me their doctrine and teaching was so accurate that Jesus said to the people you do what to tell you don't do what they do oh my let me tell you something folks you can reduce this thing down to a formalism a mechanics nothing prayer God said they can come a time when he hates your prayer that's what's the David said that God actually hates your prayer become nothing but mechanical go through the little motions lay me down to sleep here are people whose doctrine teaching so accurate that Jesus said in Matthew 23 and 3 all therefore whatsoever they did you observe that observe and do but do not after their works for they do not Satan does not object to right doctrine you hear me he don't object to right doctrine he actually approves of right words as long as right action does not follow this is the peril of the last days lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof I made a statement some months ago in preaching a message along this line of a form of godliness but denying the power thereof I said one of the greatest signs that we're in the end time is that we've totally reversed it all up through the Bible what men believe they ultimately become unholy doctrine produced unholy men holy doctrine always produced holy people that that was always the case in the book of Revelation it talks about the deeds of the Nicolaitans and then about the second chapter and verse 5 or 6 it talks about the deeds and then in verse 15 it talks about the doctrines of the Nicolaitans the deeds of the few become the doctrines of the many and you've got the corrupt system of religion that's held men in bondage for hundreds and hundreds of years all of it came out of that but listen we have arrived at a place what a man holy doctrines produced holy living the Pentecostal Church hasn't changed its doctrines you read its doctrines you read what it's wrote out they're exactly they're the same they were when we begun but it's not producing the same kind of people it's not producing the holy people it's a form without any power doesn't care how much you preach about being born again as long as you're not born again has there ever been so much talk about being born again is in our time I mean it's a common thing he doesn't care how much you talk about the baptism of the Holy Ghost as long as all has happened somebody taught you how to say a few words that don't mean nothing he doesn't care in fact he promotes that because what a field day that's had amen that was a Trojan horse that kicked the gate down to the Pentecostal camp amen standing out there in a mini skirt amen looking like hell itself talking in tongues we open the gate up to it I said we open the gate up to it that's all it had to do hell will promote sound teaching as long as you don't allow it produce the results of your life talk all your life about being born again just don't be born again amen he don't care how much you preach it there are many areas where Satan's religion may be detected I want to look at him here and we're coming down the line here this morning I want to look at these areas number one the scriptures let me read to you that we have the infallible inspired Word of God as a foundation of all it's true Satan will oppose by fighting through a verbal plenary inspiration of the scriptures of God now all scripture the Bible said is given by inspiration of God he says preach the Word for the time will come when they'll not endure sound doctor but after their own lusts shall heathens as teachers have an itch in ears and as you turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned into fables 2nd Timothy 3 fire and birth chapter 4 verse 4 then again in 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 21 for the prophecy came not an old time by the will of man but holy men of God speak as a removed by the Holy Ghost but there were false prophets among the people even there should be false teachers among you who privately should bring in damnable hearses and many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken out now lose in there you see who's in there he may teach that that by which was given has been corrupted down through the centuries and that it no longer we no longer have the pure Word of God that's what's happening today amen they're saying that this isn't you know what with the original says well I wonder where they got this in the first place only trouble I had was a V in the vows and I got over that all right I wonder where they got amen to this come from the original where did they pick it up where did it come from I can tell you what it is they're pointing a finger and saying that this has been corrupted I'm going to tell you that has been kept with from Moses till now amen the Holy Spirit not man kept this the Holy Spirit just like he kept while those vessels of the temple were in Nebuchadnezzar's palace over in Babylon the Holy Spirit never let a spoon be lost I can tell you nothing is lost of this book of God you see the devil says sure it's a word of God but it's been corrupted down through the ages we've got to retranslate it here now we got a we got to get back to the to the original well where you gonna get the original amen where you gonna find it I can tell you I can tell you I've got him reading out of it right here amen it saved me feel me kept me heal me I've been walking in it I never had any trouble ever had in trouble understand what God won't say to me out of this book then I got to listen a lot of fools trying to tell me what he said but I look back one day and I said whatever he said save me anyway like a child back there two weeks ago an alcoholic three mixed up with drugs whole life a mess amen but this morning stand here before it's born again filled with the Holy Ghost heading for heaven don't go back looking for no original brother that is the original ha ha hallelujah to God that is that is the original oh he'll tell you that if this fails he'll do all he can to keep the scriptures from being applied to your life and obey you see that's one of you know it's your head knowledge full of it never let it be in your life I saw folks that memorized this thing and they knew everything about how I ought to live but they didn't live that way oh Lord there's not nothing worse in the church than that person that can sit back with a jaundiced eye and see what's wrong with everybody else they can quote you scripture how to live I can get if you memorize that that's how you ought to live amen it didn't mean I didn't me I'm delivered to but it didn't I'm not the one you to be observing you to be having a long hard look at yourself amen it is right people that can perform it is right people a man that God is talking about if opposition fails he tries subverting listen changing watering down the authority of the scripture he'll begin he'll water it down compromise it they have their conferences on evangelism I told a preacher friend of mine I said all you have to do to break that up is to preach the gospel amen everybody's here they got them all and said well we can't we can't put this in it might offend the Pentecostal can't let this stay it might offend the Lutheran this might upset the Pope and so we flatten the thing out to something everybody can agree on it doesn't matter whether anybody agrees on it if God agrees on it that's all that matters I said all you'd have to do is preach the gospel you can tear this whole conference up amen it's a broad it's flat nobody knows where they are notice the various conflict and perversion of the scripture which instead of clearing up passages actually change the meaning water down the power see the substitutes offered to gullible mankind let's just just

Bertram H. Clendennen (1922–2009). Born on May 22, 1922, in Vidor, Texas, into a large, poor family, B.H. Clendennen, known as Bert, grew up with little exposure to faith, despite churches dotting his hometown. After graduating high school in 1940, he joined the U.S. Marines post-Pearl Harbor, serving in the South Pacific at Peleliu, where combat stirred spiritual questions. Saved in 1949 at age 27, he felt called to ministry in 1953 and was ordained by the Assemblies of God. In 1956, he founded Victory Temple (later Victory Tabernacle) in Beaumont, Texas, pastoring for 35 years and growing it into a missions-focused church. One of the first three preachers to broadcast on U.S. television, he reached wide audiences with his conservative Pentecostal sermons emphasizing repentance and the Holy Spirit’s power. In 1967, he ministered in Tanzania, raising funds to build 15 churches, and preached globally in Vietnam, Iran, India, and Zaire, often in perilous conditions. At 70, in 1992, he moved to Russia with his wife, Janice, founding the School of Christ International, which trained leaders in over 130 nations across every continent by his death. Clendennen authored books like The Prodigal Church and The Ultimate Thing, urging a return to Pentecost’s simplicity. He died on December 13, 2009, in Beaumont, survived by his wife, daughter Brenda, and son Mark. He said, “The purpose of Pentecost is to reproduce Christ in the believer.”
