In his book While Europe Slept,
Bruce Bawer reports that Muslim leaders in Norway tell their people
that “Islamic law gives them the right to abuse the infidels’ system as
much as possible — the right, in Kheir Sajer’s words, to ‘cheat and lie
to the countries that harbor them.’ They are told to view the benefits
they receive as jizya — the tributes that the infidel natives
of Muslim-occupied countries are obliged to pay to Muslims in order to
preserve their lives.” As commanded by the Qur’an (9:29).
And besides welfare, the Infidels may be robbed as well. UK jihad preacher Abu Hamza once said:
“If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a
cow. Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law. If a kafir is
walking by and you catch him, he’s booty. You can sell him in the
market. Most of them are spies. And even if they don’t do anything, if
Muslims cannot take them and sell them in the market, you just kill
them. It’s OK.”
The Islamic State has told Muslims to steal from Infidels and send them 20%, in accord with the Qur’an’s rules for booty.
“Brit woman, 21, dragged by hair, kicked, punched and duct-taped to banister in gang attack,” by Tom Evans, Daily Star, November 4, 2017:
A GANG barged their way into a woman’s house and left her
with brutal injuries as they battered her until she opened the family
safe.
Sophie Wakefield was home alone when she opened the door to a man pretending to be delivering a parcel on Friday morning.
She was suddenly ambushed by five other men in a horrific attack at her home in Cheltenham shortly after 6:30am.
Terrified Sophie was then battered black and blue while the men repeatedly shouted “where is it”.
She led them to the safe but got the combination wrong several times, prompting one of the men to threaten to hit her harder.
When she eventually opened it, the men were “cheering like in a
football match” and reportedly said “we’re going to make a lot from
this”.Her family had left to go on holiday to Gran Canaria that morning and
her younger sister, Kirsty, 19, was staying with her boyfriend.Her friend Emma Austen told Gloucestershire Live: “It was just awful. She was dazed and she had knuckle marks on her head.
“Sophie was sat under her dad’s desk, curling up in a ball. She was thinking, ‘Am I dreaming?”
She added that Ms Wakefield’s parents have been trying to get flights home but have not been able to yet.
“They can’t deal with it too well, being in Gran Canaria,” Mrs Austin said. “They have been ringing me in bits.”
Her parents have now offered a £5,000 reward for anyone with information.
The men responsible appeared to be Asian and aged between 23 and 27….
FORMER ABORTIONIST TURNED PRO LIFE OB/GYN TELLS CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE: “I AM A MASS MURDERER”
FORMER ABORTIONIST TURNED PRO LIFE OB/GYN TELLS CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE:
“I AM A MASS MURDERER”
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
WASHINGTON — A former abortionist turned pro-life OB/GYN told a
Congressional panel on Thursday that she lives with the realization that she is
a “mass murderer” because of all the lives she ended.
“We know from a scientific standpoint that the baby in the womb is a
human being and not just a blob of tissue,” Dr. Kathi Aultman stated
before the House Judiciary Committee as support for the Heartbeat
Protection Act of 2017. “Birth changes nothing but the baby’s
environment. What justification do we have to deny them personhood and
human rights until after their birth?”
She explained that there were three cases that opened her eyes about
the evils of abortion. The first was a situation where a woman on whom
Altman had performed three abortions returned a fourth time.
“I was told by the clinic staff that it was her right to choose to
use abortion as her method of birth control and that I had no right to
pass judgment on her or to refuse to do the procedure,” she recalled. “I
told them it was fine for them to say, but that I was the one who had
to do the killing.”
The second incident involved a woman who was asked by an accompanying
friend if she wanted to see the baby, and straightforwardly proclaimed,
“No! I just want to kill it.”
The third matter involved a mother of four who felt that she could
not afford another child and wept throughout her time at the abortion
facility.
“What struck me was the apathy of the first patient and the hostility
of the second towards the fetus, contrasted with the sorrow and misery
of the woman who knew what it was to have a child,” Aultman recalled. “I
had finally made the emotional connection between fetus and baby,
and realized that the baby was the innocent victim in all of this.”
“The fact that it was unwanted was no longer enough justification for
me to kill it, and I could no longer do abortions,” she explained.
Aultman, now retired from her OB/GYN practice, outlined that she has
come to realize that the abortion industry is replete with “extreme
propaganda.”
“We have sanitized our language to make abortion more palatable and
talk about the ‘fetus’ instead of the baby, and ‘terminating the
pregnancy’ rather than ‘killing the baby,’” she lamented. “We have have
moved farther away from the idea that life is precious and closer to the
utilitarian attitudes that destroyed so many lives during the last
century.”
“More and more we are embracing a culture of death that only values the strong and healthy,” Aultman said.
And as much as she enjoys seeing the children that she delivered
years ago all grown up, it also reminds her of the people who are not
here because she killed them.
“I love to meet adults that I delivered, but it’s always bittersweet
because I am reminded of all the people I will never meet because I
aborted them. It also reminds me that I am a mass murderer,” Aultman
bluntly told Congress. “Because we can’t see who they will become, we
feel justified in sacrificing babies in the womb for the people we can
see.”
According to her bio, Aultman worked as the medical director of
Planned Parenthood of Jacksonville from 1981 to 1983, and was also the
co-founder of the Rape Treatment Center.

THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY CHURCH: LIGHT WITHOUT SALT
THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY CHURCH:
LIGHT WITHOUT SALT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
BY P.E. HARRIS
Through many years of pastoral ministry, I have encountered many
so-called evangelical Christians who do not believe in speaking about
their faith. Many of them have bought into the philosophy that
Christians should only witness Jesus Christ to people by their
lifestyle. The mantra of these people goes like this, “You should be a
witness for Jesus Christ and maybe even have to speak about it.” Many in
the church today would agree with this statement. They believe that
somehow through osmosis people get saved when they see Christians just
being themselves. I have even heard testimonies by Christians who
claimed to have won people to Christ without a spoken word. And yet, in
30 years I have never run into anyone who said that was how they got
saved. Lifestyle evangelism is just an excuse to be silent about Christ.
This philosophy is contrary to the express teachings of Jesus Christ
who said, “… go into all nations and preach the Gospel to every creature.”
(Mark 16:15)
And, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before my Father in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven.” (Matthew 10:32-33)
The reason people like lifestyle evangelism is because it makes them
feel safe. They never have to confront people about sin. They never have
to stand up for righteousness. In certain crowds, they can always be
spiritually ambiguous so as not to offend. They never have to face
rejection and ridicule. They just live their “Christian” lives and keep
their opinions to themselves. A close cousin of lifestyle evangelism is
the Joel Osteen positive only Christianity. People know there is little
risk of offense if you only speak positive and encouraging things. This
safety issue is one of the reasons for the popularity of Mr. Osteen. In
Osteen’s church, you can be a “Christian” without counting the cost of
discipleship. And you never have to worry about having a contrary
opinion with other people. You never have to worry that your message
will offend anyone. You never have to bring up the subjects of sin and
rebellion. Because all you do is encourage people to find health, wealth
and prosperity in the promises of Jesus. No muss, no fuss, no
confrontation, no persecution by the world. Just believe the myth that
as long as you focus on improving yourself and finding your own purpose,
the glow of your positive light will attract other people.
However, there is a major flaw with this philosophy. This is a
Christianity who’s true light is hidden under a basket. The Gospel of
Jesus Christ is not just a positive message of God’s gifts and promises.
The Gospel is first a negative message convicting people of sin. This
conviction leads to repentance and contrition before people can ever
receive the positive promises of God. The ministry of the Gospel is not
just positive light, it is first and foremost confrontational salt. As
Jesus Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Blessed are you when
they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you
falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your
reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before
you. You are the salt of the earth;
but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then
good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put
it under a basket, but on a lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who
are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:11-16)
Notice how the reference to salt is connected to people who are
persecuted for righteousness sake. Salt is a metaphor about people
speaking up for the truth and righteousness of God. Notice also that
salt comes before the light in the passage.
Before refrigeration, salt was indispensable to fight the bacteria
that would cause food poisoning. If you went to the meat market the only
choice you had was meat left outdoors, usually covered with flies.
Eating meat is a very positive and healthy thing. But only a fool would
try to eat unrefrigerated meat without first salting it before it was
cooked. The use of salt rubbed into the meat kills off the corrupting
influence of insect larvae, viruses, and bacteria. Even today it is
recommended to give turkey a salt rub before cooking it to prevent
salmonella. Salt also has the power to clean wounds and to prevent
infection. The ancients commonly used salt as a medicinal cure. But
needless to say, salt in a wound is a mighty powerful irritant. It
stings, but it heals. Being salt in a spiritual sense means you are an
irritant to people trapped in sin and worldliness. Just as salt stings
when it confronts an infected wound, so does true preaching of
repentance sting prior to salvation. The authentic Gospel stings the
heart of sinful, worldly and lost people. And yet, without the medicine
of Gospel-salt people cannot be healed, forgiven or set free by the
blood of Christ. Being salt with flavor means you actually have to speak
negative truth to lost souls in order to bring them to the positive
aspects of deliverance and salvation. Being salt means you have to
confront the corroding bacteria of false doctrine in the world and in
the church. Being salt means you have become a true disciple of Jesus
Christ. It means you must be willing to sacrifice yourself and suffer
possible persecution for the sake of the genuine salvation of souls.
Before Lucifer fell and became Satan his name meant light-bearer.
Presently the church is crammed full of useless positive light-bearers.
This is Lucifer’s plan to turn Christians into half-truth positive only
speakers so the true and complete Gospel never gets out. He wants us to
bring light without salt, and he has been wildly successful. This work
of Satan is all about deceiving souls because the half-truths of the
positive Gospel are in reality the complete lies of the Evil One.
Because of the popularity of the false positive Gospel throughout the
world, the real church has a severe shortage of salt-bearers. Men and
women who are willing to risk, confront and speak the truth necessary so
people can be authentically saved. What the church and world need more
than ever is full disciples of Jesus Christ who boldly proclaim both the
salt and the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ’s substitutionary
atonement and God’s grace to save.

For Reformation Day, we want Christians around the world to consider
who they think are the most dangerous heretics in the world today
undermining Christianity. The Pope will always be the most serious
threat to Christianity since at the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic
Church anathematized the gospel.
Credit to PirateChristian.Com for the 5 Sola symbols…
In this article, we list our top 20 most dangerous heretics that
Christians world-wide must mark and avoid (Romans 16:17) for the sake of
Christ’s people and Christ’s gospel. We have also color-coded the
heretics so people can identify what modern-day cult they represent.
They are marked in order from the more dangerous to the less dangerous, addressing the following:
- Evidence either gathered on them (which can be accessed in our archives).
- Their influence on Christianity globally or people’s perception on what Christianity is because of them’
- Who they target and how effective they are.
- Their disregard of the Solas.
- Their character.
We will assess them on the Solas as so:

HERETIC 01: CHE AHN
Ministry: Harvest International Ministries (HIM)
After the leading Apostle (C. Peter Wagner) of the New Apostolic
Reformation died in 2016, Che Ahn became his successor. Che Ahn is now
the leading promoter of the aberrant practices, teachings and new
revelations of the NAR today.
It is important to remember that 2001 was the year Wagner believed
that ‘end-times’ governing Apostles and Prophets would lead the church
to usher in Christ’s return. Essentially whatever Che Ahn claims to be
new revelation or claims what God is saying and implementing through NAR
prophets, it is Ex Cathedra – infallible truth that cannot be
challenged. Just like the majority of other popular Apostles in the NAR,
he espouses the NAR kenotic Jesus, the NAR sonship spirit (Spirit of
Power), the NAR gospel of the kingdom (Gospel of Power), new Wine Skin
church (Apostolic Centers) and the ‘infallible’ 7 Mountain Mandate
(Lauren Cunningham, Bill Bright), The Dominion Mandate (Wagner, Johnson)
and the Billion Souls mandate (Bob Jones, Mike Bickle).
To be this hardened against Jesus Christ, the actual gospel and the
plain reading of scripture while celebrating 500 years of the
Reformation, places him first as the most dangerous man in
evangelicalism.

HERETIC 02: MICHAEL BROWN
Ministry: Line of Fire
Never did we think Michael Brown could be considered a serious threat
in evangelicalism. We grew up with his ‘biblical’ teachings. With our
charismatic leanings we were excited that he, as a Messianic Jew, was
doing great work winning Jews to Jesus and being an academic voice of
reason on behalf of Christianity to a world growing more and more evil.
And then we saw him acting like an ‘apostle’, defending other NAR
‘apostles’ such as Brian Houston, Bill Johnson, Cindy Jacobs, Lance
Wallnau, Lou Engle, Mike Bickle, David Yonggi Cho and Benny Hinn. We
started going off the criteria of how an NAR apostle brings ‘order’ and
‘unity’ in the ‘church’. We watched other Apostolic leaders bestow
apostolic titles such as ‘spiritual father’, ‘revolutionary’, ‘pioneer’,
‘general’, etc. on Brown. Even more disturbing is how Brown justifies
his beliefs and practices by apealling not to the authority biblical
authority but to the Brownsville Revival he was apart of (clearly
refuted to be the antithesis of Christianity and the Holy Spirit by
Chris Rosebrough).
Since calling him out on his Apostleship and in his involvement with
the NAR (and although he denies these claims), his actions betray him.
To this day Brown is still defending NAR Apostles and capitalizing on
people’s ignorance while claiming he holds to Sola Scriptura.
Apostolically he continually attempts to bring ‘order’ and ‘unity’ at
the expense of the irrefutable evidence against those he defends and
against clear biblical instruction. He even deliberately muddies the
waters to justify the most wicked and abhorrent ministries, heretics and
practices today seen throughout evangelicalism. Time and again, he has
been caught defending the false NAR kenotic Jesus, the NAR sonship
spirit, the NAR gospel of the kingdom and the NAR eschatology of the New
Breed. He even endorses NAR Apostle Brian Simmons and the NAR Bible known as ‘The Passion Translation’ (TPT). He also holds to the NAR ecclesia of governing Apostles and Prophets but has his own spin on this theology.
Furthermore, he hides behind his title of ‘Dr’ (he has a B. A. in
Hebrew Language), while giving a pass to false teachers like Sid Roth
and Jonathan Cahn who twist the ancient biblical Hebraic language to
justify their latest nonsensical paradigms. For him to be considered a
doctor in anything with the people he endorses makes a mockery of
Christian academia. It’s not just the status he uses, it’s the
friendships. Brown will often use his ongoing friendship with Dr Jame
White to present the facade that he carries a Reformed or academic face
in Apologetics or Polemics.
Brown has become quite the skilled deceiver, yet has the audacity to
try to be a voice of Christianity, a voice of conscience for society and
a moralist in social settings. To call Michael Brown a ‘doctor’ or
biblically sound gives a black mark to academia, apologetics, polemics
and is an insult to the scriptural integrity of Christians all around
the globe. Evidence clearly demonstrates again and again that Michael
Brown gives nothing more than lip service to the Reformation and the
Solas, capitalizing on the good will of his gullible audiences.

HERETIC 03: BRIAN HOUSTON
Ministry: Hillsong
What makes Brian Houston incredibly dangerous to the body of Christ, is his ability to get away with anything.
As an NAR Apostle, he has the ability to legally threaten anyone who
dares question or investigate him and his movement. He has demonstrated
he has the power to escape any legal accountability when it comes to him covering up the crimes of his father in his movement.
This is the same man who quite happily allows documentation of the sins
of Hillong youth groups in order to manipulate them (called Sin Files), but will condemn anyone who will record his countless deceptions and dangerous teachings.
Houston also claims his church is called apostolically and sees it as a “network committed to the apostolic anointing of leaders.” This means Brian is an NAR Apostle of an NAR Apostolic Center (Hillsong used to be called Christian Life Center).
If that is not enough, he has been proven to ‘preach’ any other gospel rather than the Christian gospel, promote Christian transgenderism and homosexuality, teaches that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, and teaches Christians should travel the ‘wide road’.
And the reason why people seem to turn a blind eye to Houston’s
behaviour and heretical beliefs is their ignorance of scripture and
their love for their ears being scratched by the pleasant-sounding music
his Hillsong ministry puts out.
Who cares if he gets people to drink spiritual cyanide, as long as
the worship music makes you feel God is ‘near’. Much of his theology shapes the music many people listen to,
with Hillsong having no regard for the Reformers, the doctrines of the
Reformation or to Christian beliefs or practices. They are happy to
change the scriptural methods of ‘doing church’ which has resulted in
their abandoning the gospel all together (although you may hear gospel
‘nuggets’ or songs occasionally). They also have no problem worshiping
with or praying for the Pope. Sadly, Hillsong is like McDonalds –
everyone knows it’s not good for you – but where else do you go for a
quick spiritual fix?

HERETIC 04: BILL JOHNSON
Ministry: Bethel
Bill Johnson literally advertises himself as following a Jesus who emptied himself
of His divinity and functions completely as a man empowered by the Holy
Spirit. (If Jesus did all His miracles as God, doesn’t that leaves Bill
as a spectator – not a participant?) Because he advertises himself and
his movement as miracle-workers like Jesus, this has made his church a
world-wide phenomena. (Everyone wants to be like a miracle-working revivalist like Bill Johnson!)
The ’emptied himself’ teaching is an heretical teaching known as
kenosis theory. What comes with this kenosis teaching is the sonship
spirit (aka Spirit of Power), that claims we are born again as ‘little
gods’, raised up to perform supernatural signs and wonders in order to
awaken an end-times revival (us being manifest as a corporate Christ on
earth), ushering Christ’s return. Bill Johnson is the offspring of the
New Order of the Latter Rain (established in 1948), his teachings being
the bad fruit of their extreme practices and beliefs. So when he claims
the Lakeland Revival, Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville Revivals
helped shape him and his ministry to what it is today, this demonstrates
he puts experiences and ‘supernatural’ events as the foundation of his
ministry, not the bible.
It is also not uncommon to hear Johnson claim his church is like
Israel camping around the ‘presence’ of God and not around the message.
Johnson appears to only use the bible to justify the latest revelations,
experiences and direction he thinks his movement should go.
His gospel is the NAR false ‘Gospel of the kingdom’ (aka Power
Gospel). That is, the gospel is about signs and wonders to convince
people God wants them healthy, wealthy and supernatural. Lastly, Johnson
is a deceiver, downplaying his role in the NAR and his Apostolic
office.

HERETIC 05: MIKE BICKLE
Ministry: International House of Prayer (IHOP)
Mike Bickle makes it at number 5 mainly for the global recognition of
him as a cult leader. If he was not considered a threat or a cult
leader by churches or the general public, he would be higher on this
list. This is mainly because Bickle has been exposed multiple times for
false prophecy and unusual scandals.
He was known in the 1980s as being the leader of the Kansas City
Fellowship (otherwise known as the Kansas City Prophets) and recognised
leader of the Prophetic Movement within what Apostle Bill Hamon called
the ‘Prophetic Apostolic Movement’ (PAM). His entire prophetic movement
was exposed by Ernie Gruen, Bickle attempting to downplay his work by
spreading lies about him. Yet Bickle’s word games and lies have not gone
away. His denial of peddling controversial NAR doctrines such
dominionism and the ‘little gods’ should convince the masses that he
cannot be trusted since many people have records of him teaching such
things. (Bickle also teaches the false NAR Seven Mountain Mandate
commission.)
To try and improve the reputation of his ministry (IHOP), Bickle has
been inviting popular speakers like Francis Chan to give the impression
IHOP is concerned about social issues and the gospel. Do not be deceived
by Bickle and his movement. There are many published stories of people
being seriously damaged spiritually by IHOP.

HERETIC 06: DAVID YONGGI CHO
Ministry: Yoido Full Gospel Church
Although an Apostolic giant in the NAR, Cho is often forgotten about.
Nevertheless, he has helped raise up Brian Houston, Phil Pringle, Rick
Warren and the research and leadership efforts of C. Peter Wagner. Many
of the greatest heretics today are part of his apostolic network (called
Church Growth International). Our research indicates that he was one
for the first heretics who popularized what is known today as the
‘Dream-Destiny-Thingy’. You can research this teaching in his two volume
work ‘The Fourth Dimension’.
When we analyse his works and the context of his upbringing, he is
peddling the pagan practices of Soga Gokkai (a religion Cho appears to
be influenced by). What makes his teachings very dangerous is that he
claims to hear the ‘spirit’ speak to him directly about the new
revelations of the ‘Fourth Dimension’. Yet he claims this same spirit
helped him build the biggest church in the world. Worse still, Cho was
is acknowledged for creating the Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville
revival. At Brownsville, he prophesied that the revival would not end
until Jesus returned. In other words, he operates from a lying spirit
and not a born again believer filled with the Spirit of Truth.
His teachings and prophetic delusions of grandeur have nothing to do
with the Solas of biblical Christianity. We know he can preach an
apparently biblical message but he uses it as ‘bait and switch’ to
promote his Fourth dimension teachings. His works were very influential
in the early 80s, impacting the biggest churches we see today. His books
are still widely read to this day.
In regards to character, his books reveal that the spirit that speaks
to him will encourage him to lie to get what he wants. Recently, Cho
has been convicted of mishandling church funds. Under his Apostolic
authority he removed his own elders who tried to hold him accountable
when they made this information public – causing much distress in his
church. In other words, Cho cannot be trusted at all as a leader and
teacher and should be marked and avoided.

HERETIC 07: RICK WARREN
Ministry: Saddleback Church
Rick Warren is dangerous for his Purpose Driven Life emphasis and
causing a new sect within Christianity known as the PDL movement. With
his emphasis on God wanting people to have a purpose for their life, the
biblical gospel has been replaced with the ‘social gospel’ message.
This requires neither faith in Jesus nor an acknowledgement of the
gospel of salvation, (as Rick demonstrated when a caller rang in while
he was on Oprah, asking for God’s help).
Warren’s teachings on the church and his extreme teachings on
visionary leadership are based on the fascist teachings of Peter
Drucker, a dangerous mix that helped develop an authoritative arm in NAR
churches. Warren’s extreme leadership ideas have also raised concern
when he stated he wanted the same zeal of Hitler Youth to be in the
practice of Christian Youth.
Warren also believes in modern-day Apostles. The fact that Hillsong
invites him to speak at their conferences also reinforces the fact he is
considered an Apostle of the NAR. It appears he also has his own spin
on the Seven Mountain Mandate with his P.E.A.C.E plan and his own
version of the NAR gospel in ‘changing the world’ (Uganda being the
first Purpose Driven Nation). Overall, his books and purpose driven
teachings are polluting the gospel and turning churches into social
centers.

HERETIC 08: T.D. JAKES
Ministry: The Potters House
T.D Jakes is also known as Bishop Jakes. This title is often lost on
many people if they are not familiar with NAR jargon. In NAR circles, a
Bishop is an Apostle. However, his apostolic status is not enough to
mark him as dangerous, he publicly denies the Trinity and refuses to
recant or discuss his stance on this publicly. As a modalist, on this
rejection alone, he is not a Christian. Thus he is very dangerous
considering many Christian pastors, leaders and teachers invite him to
speak at their churches or conference.
A lot of Oneness Pentecostal cults promote Jakes’ books and
materials, and sadly his books are found in most Christian bookstores
and charismatic churches. His guest appearance on TBN and other TV
networks often have him scamming people financially with the false HAW and WOF heresies.
A lot of people have been ruined financially as well as spiritually by
his teachings. He also is responsible for making heretic Paula White.

European League of Apostles). Similarly to Che Ahn, Torp believes he and
his apostolic coalition have received new revelations to govern the
end-times church, thus rejecting the bible and Jesus the God-man.

HERETIC 10: BRIAN SIMMONS
Ministry: Stairway Ministries
Brian Simmons is an Apostle of the NAR and claims God has helped him
write a new bible called ‘The Passion Translation’ (TPT). This NAR
bible is nothing more than a propaganda attempt to get people converted
to the NAR away from doing the true biblical missions, church and
evangelism. You couldn’t get anything more dangerous to lead people away
from the Christian faith.
At this point of time Simmons is still an unknown in the eyes of
many Christians with his Passion Translation. He would have made it
higher on this list if he started becoming a guest speaker in churches
to promote his work. Needless to say, his work barely reflects any
resemblance of the Christian faith and as Gervase Nicholas Charmley
observed, his work was nothing more than propaganda for spreading NAR teachings.

HERETIC 11: JOEL OSTEEN
Ministry: Lakewood Church
Osteen tries to give the impression with his Lakewood creed that he
believes and teaches the bible. But when you actually review his
sermons, he rejects the bible, instead preaching WOF heresy and the HAW
gospel. While people assume he is a heretic only in the WOF and HAW
camps, they fail to realise his father was made popular not by preaching
the historic Christian faith but was raised to prominence through the
early NAR networks. Aspects of his ministry reflect NAR ideologies and
heresies such as the little gods heresy (see his work ‘I AM’) and his
view on eschatology reflected in his worship band name called ‘New
Breed’.
The most dangerous thing about Osteen is his ‘charm’ – in other
words, he can make you feel good and convince you just how really
special you are (does not like to convict his listeners of their sin).
Armed with these things and his ability to elevate his opinions above
the bible to appease culture, only goes to show that he exists to appeal
to masses to line his own pockets.

Paula White would not have made this list since her reputation as a

that she is the US President’s ‘Spiritual Advisor’, she has had to
reinvent herself and her NAR Apostolic office, downplaying her extreme
NAR theologies (we are ‘little gods’) and denying Jesus as being the
only son of God.
This ‘new’ Paula White has helped further the NAR in politics and her
Christian facade is doing more damage than good in spreading what
Christianity actually is.

HERETIC 13: STEVEN FURTICK
Ministry: Elevation Church
Although people still question if Furtick is either a Word of Faith or Health and Wealth heretic, he presents himself the way C. Peter Wagner would describe an New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Apostle.
The fact he speaks at Hillsong Conferences, confirms his apostolic
prestige as well his desire to be seen with other high profile leaders, as a ‘super apostle’
(his words). What makes him incredibly dangerous is his apparent
Messianic complex. Thus he is known around the world for actually
running a Cult of Personality (COP).
Famous for his tantrums (Hey Haters!), authoritarian behaviour
(Elevation Vision Statement) and cult-like structures and props in his
church (kid’s colouring pages), he is probably best known for others
identifying his style of preaching with the term, Narcigesis (reading
yourself into any text of the bible and writing God out of it.) His
influence in evangelicalism with his innovative language, church ideas
and scripture readings (Egg Drop, Sun Stand Still, Audacious faith,
etc), has made him into a church ‘rock star’.
The most dangerous thing about Furtick is his appeal to young people
and reinforcing narcissistic tendencies in youth around the world.
Sadly, there is no cure for narcissism apart from Christ. Although
ironically he calls his critics ‘toddlers’, his own childish behaviour
is displayed when he does not get his own way. This was demonstrated
when Matt Chandler actually preached a biblical sermon on David and
Goliath at his Code Orange Conference a few years ago, concluding with
“the bible is not about you”. Furtick was clearly angry with the message
and initially prevented it from being uploaded. (He later claimed there
were technical difficulties.)
Nevertheless, his youthfulness, his fast rise to prominence and
innovative style have inspired many immature believers to walk down his
road of insecurity and self-obsessiveness to embrace their own
‘messianic’ ministries.

HERETIC 14: EUGENE PETERSON
Author: The Message
Peterson is the author of the Message Bible. His bad bible
translation has been regarded as ‘the most dreadful and dangerous
mainstream version of the Bible’. (That was until the TPT came along.)
His arrogance and flippant attitude in producing a complicated work
needs to be noted:
“I just kind of let go and became
playful. And that was when the Sermon on the Mount started. I remember I
was down in my basement study, and I did the Beatitudes in about 10
minutes. And all of a sudden I realised this could work.”
playful. And that was when the Sermon on the Mount started. I remember I
was down in my basement study, and I did the Beatitudes in about 10
minutes. And all of a sudden I realised this could work.”
Eugene’s tampering of the text, adding and taking away important
information and embedding New Age language and ideas makes him
incredibly dangerous. To read more on the dangers of Eugene’s work, read
here.
Encouraging Christians to embrace New Age language and concepts gives a
clear indicator that the Christian faith and gospel message is a
foreign concept to this ‘guru’. Many major heretical movements and cults
in Christianity love to quote from his Message paraphrase.

HERETIC 15: WILLIAM PAUL YOUNG
If God the Father was a big black woman, Young is a creepy potato…
William Paul Young is famous for his book ‘The Shack’. While some
read it as a story, the ‘Trinity’ that speaks to him undermines a lot of
Christian truths. When his work first came out, many solid Christians
were pointing out that Young appeared to be subtly undermining the
essential teachings of the Christian faith and promoting Post-Modern and
New Age ideas to impressionable readers. Young ignored these criticisms
and gullible Christian audiences praised his story-telling and were
spreading his books to Christian friends, families and churches.
Just before the launch of his movie ‘The Shack’ in cinemas around the
world, Young promoted his latest book that brazenly attacked essential truths about God and the Christian faith.
His malicious attack on core Christian doctrines revealed that his
critics were right and that he had no regard for God or the bible at
all. To this day, many churches and leaders promote ‘The Shack’ without
fully realising how dangerous his subversive message is.

Nicky Gumbel is the man who created the ‘Alpha Course’, a basic
introduction to Christianity being promoted in 1000’s of churches across
the globe. The Alpha Course acts like a Trojan Horse, tailor-made to
change at a whim to suit any sect, cult or movement to win followers to a
different gospel. Thus it’s not about knowing Jesus, the gospel or the
bible – it’s about indoctrinating or brainwashing people into a certain
sect. The information is watered down to the extent that many of those
who complete the course are much more ecumenical in their beliefs and
too shallow to contend for the faith at all. You couldn’t have a more
dangerous course in your church (Hillsong, C3 and many others use it to
indoctrinate their members).

HERETIC 17: SARAH YOUNG
Sarah Young has been openly rebuked for her poor regard of scripture
in favour of personal encounters and conversations with Jesus in her
book ‘Jesus Calling’. In our modern New Age saturated culture, Young’s
work is incredibly popular among women. Due to her popularity, Young is
now targeting children with an illustrated version of ‘Jesus Calling’.
Pastor Bob DeWaay rightly describes her work as a toxic devotion,
stating the book “promotes mystical devotion to God and is based on
words from Jesus beyond Scripture” and that, “Young puts New Age,
panentheistic ideas into the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself.”
Like DeWaay, many pastors and apologists, polemicists and concerned
Christians have reached a similar conclusion that Young is promoting the
New Age religion through a New Age Jesus. Tim Challies claims that
Young speaks for God but ‘mimics occult practices‘ such as ‘automatic writing’ (Young calls this ‘listening prayer’).
This occult technique runs rampant in NAR circles, (we think originally
this came from NARpostle Mark Virkler). By penning this book and
presenting herself in a way where she speaks for God,
she is portraying herself as a type of prophet for others to imitate.
In other words, Christians around the world need to realize in reading
her book, she is indeed penning unbiblical ‘revelations’ from God.
Challies further states that “Her book has been corrected’ where she
has revised ‘the words she claims to have received from Jesus.” Carm.org
provides an example
where Young has corrected the words of ‘God’ in her book, concluding
that ‘The Jesus of the Jesus calling seems to be nothing more than the
musings of a woman who “feels” her way through devotional material and
in the process makes numerous mistakes’. Her false Jesus, her disregard
of the bible and her promotion of her New Age influences against the
backdrop of the historic Christian faith leaves her books not even close
to resembling the core tenants or Solas of the Christian faith. Sadly,
her work is promoted around the world at women’s conferences, bible
studies and as a valid form of daily devotional.

Although Beth Moore presents herself as a bible teacher, she clearly
has an agenda to usurp the pulpit in the light of plain scripture about
women in leadership. She first came on to the scene speaking only to
women and then proceeded to speak at Christian conferences where she is
now considered by many as a legitimate preacher or pastor by many. Her
usurpation of the teaching office does not stop there.
Although she claims to be Baptist, she operates as a prophet of the New Apostolic Reformation,
claiming God speaks directly to her. While her critics highlight the
dangers of Beth Moore, she has no problem demonizing them or bullying
Christians to leave her alone. We regard her as one of the leading women
of the Mysti-Chicks Uprising.

HERETIC 19: BRIAN McLAREN
Leader and face of the Emergent Church (LIB)
Brian McLaren still appears to be the face of the Emergent/Liberal church movement.
McLaren has a liberal worldview impacted by a social Jesus providing
nothing more than semantics. His ideals override the biblical narrative
and his verbal gymnastics play fast and loose with the Word of God. This
man was incredibly dangerous – he, and those in the Emergent/Liberal
church movement (like Rob Bell, Doug Pagitt, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Peter
Rollins and Tony Jones), have demonstrated that their rejection of the
bible and the Jesus plainly presented in scripture has shipwrecked not
just their own faith but that of their entire movement.
However, their presence and teachings are still impacting churches
all around the world, winning the hearts of men with their lofty
sounding speeches and vain imaginings but leaving their souls without a
Saviour and the assurance of God’s absolute truth and unchanging love.
They are still making significant inroads in Anglican, Uniting and
Presbyterian churches around the world. McLaren is a lot like Wagner,
endorsing any liberal figure who agrees with his set theology. Many
Christians hurt by authoritarian churches (usually NAR), will find the
works of McLaren and co refreshing, mind-freeing, seemingly more honest
and down to earth in community and church settings.
That is until they start believing what the bible says above their
lofty ideas. The complete absence of God’s teachings on His laws, church
structure, protocol and teachings on the church being an institution,
leaves many Christians open for psychological and spiritual abuse. With
McLaren operating from a worldly post-modern worldview, his hypocrisy
remains obvious: he will happily deconstruct faith, the church and you –
but he won’t deconstruct his positions of authority and his postmodern
world-view.

HERETIC 20: JOYCE MEYER
Joyce Meyer was famous many years ago for teaching Christians that
Jesus ‘became possessed on the cross, was born again in hell’ and
‘raised so that we can be ‘little gods”. While people associate this
with the Prosperity gospel (she taught this), this is the New Apostolic
Reformation ‘Gospel of the Kingdom’. While she claims to reject a lot of
her old teachings, her theology says likewise. She still peddles Word of Faith and Health and Wealth heresy alongside her NAR sonship heresy.
The Sonship heresy is another form of the little gods heresy, (also
known as ‘kings kids theology’). The fact that Hillsong invite her to
speak at their conferences also reinforces the fact she is considered a
female Apostle in the NAR. To this day, she is still deceiving millions
of Christians around the world with her false teaching and new
revelations.

ROMAN CATHOLICS DISRUPT REFORMATION DAY SERVICE WITH THEIR PAGAN REPETITIVE PRAYERS
Roman Catholics Disrupt Reformation Day Service with their Pagan Repetition
SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2017/10/31/roman-catholics-disrupt-reformation-day-service-with-their-pagan-repetition/;
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
To be fair, the “Protestants” were asking for it. They had gathered
at the Roman Catholic church for an ecumenical worship service.
Apparently missing the entire point of the Reformation, they came
together to celebrate the Reformation. If it makes no sense, that’s
because it doesn’t.
The Catholic Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula hosted the
Reformation Day service with the United Protestant Church in Belgium,
whose president said that the joint service “sent a strong ecumenical
signal,” which indeed it did. Protestants have often fell for the Romish
scheme of ecumenism, making compromises on important theological issues
without noticing that the papist harlot herself never makes any
compromises. Coming together under “unity” is just another way that the
Harlot of Babylon has tried to get Protestants back underneath her
skirt.
Falling for this scheme, the UPCB gathered with the Papists. Their
kumbaya unity didn’t last long, however, as a group of young Catholics
disturbed the hand-holding unity by disrupting the service with praying
the rosary. The rosary is a prayer of vain repetition, associated with
paganism and explicitly forbidden by Jesus in Matthew 6:7.
The prayer consists of ten “Hail Marys” and is credited with all sorts
of superstitious efficacy. They began to pray the rosary as the
Protestant minister tried to start his sermon.
Police had to be called to throw out the Roman Catholic youngsters, which must have been insulting, considering it was their church. Video is below.
Notice that they disrupt the service with their demonic chants and
the crowd tries to talk sense into them before the police came to break
up their protest.
Pamphlets passed out by the Roman Catholic idolaters said the following…
“Our Cathedral of St Michael and St
Gudula is a Catholic building built by our fathers to be a House of God,
for the celebration of the holy Mass, for the praise of God and the
Saints. The occupation of our cathedral by Protestants to commemorate
the 500th anniversary of the Reformation is therefore a profanation.
Indeed, the so-called Reformation was really a revolt: under the pretext
of combatting abuses, Luther rebelled against the divine authority of
the Catholic Church, denied numerous Truths of the Faith, abolished the
Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacraments, rejected the necessity of good
works and the practice of Christian virtues. Finally, he attacked the
veneration of the Virgin Mary and the saints, the religious life and
monastic vows. This terrible revolution was a great tragedy for
Christian society and for the salvation of souls. And the Lutheran
errors are still heresies today because the Truth is eternal.”

The Spirit of the Reformation is alive and well in certain corners of
the world. One wouldn’t necessarily assume that Reformation Spirit is
alive in the corner of the world known as Anglicanism, but apparently
the fires haven’t completely blown out. An Anglican clergy member, who
at first remained anonymous, has come out as the culprit who posted the
protest letter against LGBT inclusion to five cathedral doors.
Pulpit & Pen posted a video
of JD Hall nailing the Second London Baptist Confession (1689) to the
Cathedral of Saint Helena, and encouraged people to join in the practice
during the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. This was received with
much wailing and gnashing of teeth, accompanied by accusations of
vandalism. Thankfully, many have taken up the protest and continued to
send the not-so-subtle message that Protestants are still doing what
Protestants do. Reverend Stephen Rae, the vicar of St. James Church, has
received major media attention for posting his own protest letters.
His letter reads, “This building that stands sentinel over the
Church of England has been a symbol of Anglican leadership with,
perhaps, the greatest global reach for centuries. Now it has become
synonymous with abdication and dereliction of duty; it stands accused as
a distracted and negligent parent that has abandoned its children…We
are not merely to assert biblical truth. We who have been entrusted with
the precious gospel that speaks life into the hearts of wretched
sinners are also called to drive away anything that would lead the flock
away and into judgment.”

The Anglican church has repeatedly affirmed the LGBTQXYZLMNOP
movement, with one church – which thankfully received a protest letter –
recently having an “LGBTQ+ Eucharist Service,” as seen below.
