The claim "God moved the bullet" is more of a mythological view of God than a biblical view.

This is the same nonsense as open border logic. Christian parents, do not let TGC make you feel guilty for obeying your God-given responsibility to disciple your children and protect them from government schools whose very purpose is to disciple your children away from

Defining revival as extended days of tangibly feeling God's manifest presence just shows you how Pentecostalized modern evangelicalism has become.
