Todd Bentley - The Fire-Fresh Fire

by Mike Oppenheimer
Let Us Reason Ministries What Bentley is teaching is not new " “ much of it can be found in the Latter Rain teachings that went through the late 40"s, 50-60"s. O.L. Jaggers taught that God is "constantly revealing His Word and giving us new truths."  This is why the Latter Rain is also called a restoration movement. Because God is still speaking they believe he is still delivering new doctrines, these are confirmed by experience.Read more ...

Angel

We got to know Angel when Promise (her mum) starting coming to Ebyown for help in English, maths and general home skills. Sadly Promise had lost Angels dad to a shooting and was coming over to further her education. ‚   She came over from the informal settlement once a day and would bring little Angel. Angel would sleep, until she got old enough to sit and play while Promise had her lessons. Angel was always a vocal point when she came due to being such a quite, bright eyed little girl. Promise's mum, Patience, works at Ebyown in the house and laundry so a family friendship has been built up between us all.

Unlike the emerging church celebrity authors and speakers who shuck and jive when asked direct questions about God, salvation, and truth, The Moses Code is produced by those who will tell you right out what they believe. What they do believe is breathtaking in its Satanic audacity. In the movie trailer, promoters of The Moses Code cheerfully announce that I AM is something all of us can say. Towards the end of the clip, one young man looks up and into the camera and tells viewers, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." The website says the following:Read more ...

The New Apostolic Reformation

One of the central new teachings of the Latter Rain Movement, of the 40's and 50's, was the so-called restoration of Apostles and Prophets to the overcoming Endtime Church. This restoration teaching percolated on the back burners of the Charismatic Renewal for years. But, it was never promoted heavily and no one attempted to systematically implement it on a worldwide scale. Into this vacuum, G. Peter Wagner has evolved as a central personality. He has given organizational and promoting impetus to this so-called restoration and taken bold steps to implement apostolic restoration to a wider Global Church. Read more ...

An Inclusive Evangelism

He even claimed they had numerous teachings that God gave Israel by looking at the gospel in the stars. P rior to any missionary coming to Hawaii with the Bible they had the teaching of the trinity. He made bold claims like this without any references- Many accounts in Polynesia of the creation of man. Some of them state that the supreme triune God made the heavens and earth in six days and rested on the seventh day (p.70 4th ed.) see http://www.letusreason.org/Current67.htm -,  http://www.letusreason.org/Current68.htm,  Read more ...

Why I Left The Catholic Church

by Pat Franklin
 
By James Jacob Prasch (Rev)
Our aim is not to offend or attack Roman Catholic people. On the contrary, we are very much for Roman Catholic people, and recognizing that it is Roman Catholic children who have been the victims of these breaches of trust, we only want to examine the claims and address the solid facts. ‚   While it is not our purpose to assail Roman Catholics, those whose allegiance is not to the irrefutable truth, to justice for innocent victims, and to the protection of their children and grand children, but to an organization whose clergy has perpetrated these unspeakable violations of law and of ‚  basic human decency irrespective of the true facts, may indeed be offended by the presentation of these facts. ‚  Those willing to turn a deaf ear to the plea of helpless children, no matter how guilty or ‚   ‚  institutionally corrupt The Church of Rome may be genuinely demonstrated to be, may object to these facts being presented. None-the-less, they remain proven facts. For the sake of the victims and the children, and for the sake of the truth itself, we tell the truth and address these uncomfortable and often shocking facts.

Paul Cain, R. T. Kendell, and Friends

by James Jacob Prasch
In late summer of 1990, the late John Wimber brought the Kansas City Prophets to Great Britain for a series of hyped-up meetings at London's Docklands Arena. The agenda included Mike Bickel, who in direct defiance to the plain teaching of the Word of God, voiced the opinion shared by false prophet Rick Joyner "that a prophet can be partly right and partly wrong in what he predicts". This of course runs contrary of the biblical criteria of a true prophet in Deuteronomy 18. Among others, Rick Joyner, Bickel himself, Gerald Coates, Cindy Jacobs, Juanita Bynum, and Benny Hinn, along with a wide host of many more, ,  would all by biblical definition be among the false prophets Jesus warned in the last days to deceive the elect. All have made time specific prophetic predictions in the name of the Lord that failed to transpire.

The Evangelical Cave-In Has Begun: The Bible

by Ken Silva
Apprising Ministries Recently the Lord has been sending forth some clear warnings that His patience is up with the Evangelical Movement in this "One Nation Under Delusion." Dr. Alan Cairns sounded one such warning in his sermon "The Evangelical Cave-In," as he exposed the poisoned root of some of the rotten weeds that have been growing wildly in this section of His Vineyard for far too long. Even the latest issue of Christianity Today (Falling Away) features an interview with Ben Witherington III that shows just how far Satan's spiritual venom has been injected into the very bloodstream of Evangelicalism. Call it "New Evangelicalism," call it scholarship for the "increasingly postmodern setting," O call it whatever you want, it's still liberal theology and compromise in order for these man-pleasers to protect their own stature within American culture.
