The assemblies of God pronounce against the G12 movement.

The asemblies of God pronounced against the world known G12 movement. It´s not my intention to insult anyone because I love the church of Christ but please if anyone has doubts about it don´t be afraid, search for the truth. Don´t look at your pastors like they are semi gods because they are human and they are here to serve their sheep not the other way around. I think the whole enphasis on multiplication of this movement is strange, I mean where in His word does Jesus tell us to reproduce ourselves in other people? He tells us that it´s Him who should reproduce himself in us (or us imitate Him), besides not everybody is called to leadership like this movement says. Only God calls leaders according to His will and purpose. I think deviating people from their true calling isn´t right. Yes, God will still move and restore people but it´s not the church or the movement that does it only His Holy Spirit. It bothers me that there has to be a human sistem for church growth, why don´t we let the Holy Spirit do it? I believe that if we get to the point of thinking that saying something against the doctrine of Castellanos (founder) is the same as blasfemy against God (read it in Youtube from a member of that church) we are in a very wrong place and it´s time to reevaluate everything , he is not the Holy Spirit and yes, he makes mistakes because like you and I, he is human and we are not and will never be perfect. If in you there is jealousy, envy, greed, hunger for power or pride there is something wrong in your heart (Talking from experience). Oh, by the way, Jesus told us to make disciples as a church not that every christian in the world has to have 12 people in charge not one more not one less (what a truly limited yet ambicious vision). Imagine that we got no other purpose in this world than to have 12 people in charge sound like a cult to me. God is God of order not structures! He has an unique and beautiful plan for each of us His children and these kind of sistems locks us and draws us away from it. Succes in your life will not be measured by the cuantity of disciples you make but in fulfilling the purpose of God for your life, big or small to human eyes.
