The bible actually predicts things like this.
If this man in india is doing genuinely supernatural things, then even the bible prophesied of his comming, even Jesus himself.
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." - Mark 13:3 (KJV)

Re: The bible actually predicts things like this.
quote:
I don't see how the passage you quoted relates to Sai Baba. Would you care to offer a little more explanation?
Not just those verses, but various others in the bible predict that false prophets and false teachers would lead people away from the truth of the gospel, either by polluting the gospel with false teaching, or by denying it altogether. If this man in India (whom I realize now is dead) was genuinely doing supernaturally things, and he was claiming to be some messianic figure of some religion contrary to the gospel, and he was also getting many people to follow him, then he was a false christ. The passages are very clear. If however, he was not genuinely doing supernaturally things, if he was just doing tricks, but he was still claiming to be messianic and leading people to follow him, he would still be a false christ, just not one empowered supernaturally by the devil.
