Mike Cumbie - A weapon of God

I attended a Seminar last night given by Mike Cumbie. An ex-Pentecostal turned Catholic. And his topic for the night was "Immaculate Deception". Which brought the word GEBHIRAH into my awarenss which a I will post on shortly. Marian Doctrine was the last hurtle he had to overcome. And he explained it how he researched and discovered thru immersion into the Judaic Culture of the times made it all clear and simple.

Mike Cumbie was born and raised a Baptist. You can view his website here: http://www.mikecumbie.org

Here is an excpert from his front page:

From the heart of the Deep South, steeped in Southern Baptist tradition Michael Cumbie's call from God to preach the Gospel came at age 14. At age 19, while attending college and working on a degree in Music Education Michael experienced a life changing charismatic encounter with the Holy Spirit. Increasingly dissatisfied with fundamentalist, evangelical preaching of the Gospel, he began to understand just exactly how the early church had worshiped with its signs and symbols - and its focus on the Eucharist.

Although a Protestant Pastor for 23 years, Michael ultimately realized that to be truly in one accord with "ancient historic" Christian practice, means to be in union with Rome, where the chair of the successor of St. Peter is located, he continued his studies and research. Michael was even ordained to the sacred priesthood (see picture gallery 2) with an "old catholic" group in 1993. Eventually he realized that his denomination and the Roman Catholic Church would not become one any time soon, and he discovered that this quest for the fullness of Faith could only be realized in the Roman Catholic Church. In 2001, Michael and his three children were received into the Catholic Church. Michael's wife Sherry came back to the Catholic Church that day as well, after a 28-year absence. Michael Cumbie's conversion story is entitled "No Bread on the Table, No Crumbs on the Floor" because of his great love of, and respect for the Most Holy Eucharist.

Michael Cumbie is an experienced speaker, musician and worship leader and will inspire any audience with his knowledge, wit and incredible sense of humor.

Michael will have your audience rolling with laughter while appreciating their Catholic Faith in a way that no other speaker can!

For one popular Protestant preacher, the search for the answers to these and other crucial questions was only the beginning of a remarkable journey of faith, hope, laughter and tears that is guaranteed to strengthen your faith in, and love for, the Catholic Church!
