Baruti Kasongo Biography
With a congregation of over 12,000, Pastor Baruti Kasongo, also known as Leonard Barutti Kasongo, is the pastor of Baruti Tabernacle, a big message church in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It is most likely the largest church in the message.
He has given speeches in numerous North American message churches, such as Cloverdale Bibleway.
False report of a miraculous healing
On Facebook, we came across this report from a person going by the name Christian Ngoy:
In August 2016, during an evangelizing campaign in Kinshasa, a Protestant bishop who was blind came to seek recovery from the great healer, Jesus, without feeling embarrassed in front of the throng.
His eyes were touched by Reverend BARUTI.
He prayed for a little while before opening his eyes and seeing. Because I was present, I am an eyewitness!
To follow up and ascertain whether a healing truly took place, we asked for the Bishop’s name.
It would undoubtedly be amazing news if a blind man truly recovered his sight and a non-messaging bishop did the same.
We have concluded that the claim was false because, predictably, no information on the name was provided.
As soon as we can speak with the Bishop and establish that he was blind before being healed, we are ready to announce his healing.
Additional evidence that Pastor Baruti is a fake
Which Christian would give his name to a church? Do we need to say more? This is a severe case of narcissism, don’t you think?
Baruti Kasongo in North Carolina
In Charlotte, North Carolina, there is a message preacher named Atapis Ngyamba.
His native country is the Congo. His spouse is Baruti Kasongo’s daughter.
The images on the right are from a missionary trip that Baruti Kasongo took to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he served as the pastor of his son-in-law’s church.
North Carolinians are accustomed to offering Baruti Kasongo the red carpet treatment (literally!).
He is being driven to his devoted followers in a Rolls Royce limousine in the image above.
His daughter is pictured flaunting in front of the Rolls Royce, as is her husband, the church pastor.
Scripture makes it quite evident that Atapis Ngyamba is unfit to serve as a pastor in any type of Christian church:
Now, the supervisor must be beyond reproach, devoted to his spouse, temperate, self-controlled, honorable, friendly, capable of teaching, not prone to intoxication, not harsh but kind, not petty or a money-lover.
Is this behavior the same as what Peter discussed in 2 Peter 2:1–3?
However, just as there were false teachers among the people, false prophets also emerged among them.
Destructive heresies from these false instructors will seep into your ranks, even to the point where they contradict the Master who purchased them.
They will therefore quickly bring about their demise. And a lot of people will adopt their promiscuous lives.
The path of truth will be defamed due to these false teachers.
And out of avarice, they’ll use false information against you.
Their long-ago condemnation is not being ignored, and their ruin is not dormant.
Paul also forewarns against similar conduct in 1 Timothy 6:3-5.
Anyone who teaches the contrary is conceited and ignorant if they do not accept godly teaching and the sound teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They are unhealthily interested in arguments and disputes over words that lead to jealousy, conflict, slander, false suspicions, and ongoing hostility amongst people with corrupt minds who have been deceived about the truth and believe that being virtuous is a way to get wealth.
