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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

I am writing the "inconvenient truth" today. I have been blitzed with e-mails about the Todd Bentley "revival" in Florida., Before you fall for his stories and "signs and wonders," please allow me to make some comments. I realize this will not be received well by many. This is a Charismatic happening called the "third wave." The "first wave" was Toronto, and it fizzled out., The "second wave" was Pensacola, and it had the same fate. Now Bentley has brought in the "third wave," and folks are coming from around the world for the "anointing.", Even, the, Charisma Magazine editor Lee Grady, says --, sounding a warning -- "My inbox has been full of messages from Charismatic leaders who are concerned about everything from Bentley's tattoos and body piercings to his claim that he once interviewed the apostle Paul in Heaven. When I called for scrutiny of some aspects of the Lakeland Revival, I was labeled a Pharisee and a 'religious policeman.' I had suddenly become the enemy." Read more ...

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.
