The Old Testament (OT) is still true today. It is an integral part of our Christian faith. It still teaches us what God established.
Being tested to know for sure your faithfulness to God
It is a pass or fail test – what God uses on us. Where are you at with Him?
Refuse to admit your sin
What sort of person are you? There is a sign in the Bible that should be posted outside the entrance to your heart: Watch out for the dogs! The Apostle Paul warned about those vicious scavenger dogs. Basically he was saying: Watch out for those who distort true Christianity!
Jesus will rescue us soon from the wrath to come
The Rapture was an integral part of the faith for the early church. It is still a basic tenet of the faith. Are you yourself looking forward to The Rapture with great anticipation?
NAR-types are changing God’s Way, denying the Old Testament
NAR-type: We know what you’ve been doing. Look at all the YouTube videos by Berean-types who have spilled the beans about you. Christians: Take heed. The Bible warns us about apostates in the End Times.
This is God speaking
This is a satire about the way God might discuss theology with the NAR-types. Don’t get all in a huff. It’s satire!
Jesus saves and Jesus condemns
Are you “saved”? This is more than important: Reconsider your life. Get it together. Get truly saved …because nothing less is acceptable to Jesus.
“By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error”
How can we know a teaching is truly from God? John gives us a simple test we can use. Want to follow God Himself, or some heretic false teacher?
Old Sarge Comments on Charismatic practices
We need great discernment about the NAR-type Charismatic churches such as Bethel in Redding, California. “Charismatics need a better hermeneutic as much is not based on good interpretation of a passage.” Do you want God’s message, or your own?
“Those who are people of faith”
Do you claim to be “a person of faith”? There are many types out there! What faith do you claim as yours? Is your faith type following Jesus and what He taught? Is it truly yours? What makes you think that your type of “faith” is acceptable by Jesus? It’s certainly worth testing it. Eternally worth it!
How a Christian lives life
By God – I’ve been given this body, this life, this existence on earth. How indebted I am for all that! And now I have been born again – “I’ve turned over a new leaf“. I am exponentially, eternally grateful to God for that! Oh my God Jesus thank you! Baby Steps It is […]
Changing what God started
Changing what God said Does God need you to change what He said back in the Old Testament? Have you changed what God started? Really want to do that? God said doing so has eternal consequences. Satan was the first to cast doubt on what God said: Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled […]
As Teachers of the Faith – Unqualified and Worthless
The more I study NAR teachings, the more sad I am for those who follow such apostate beliefs. Scripture describes deceptive groups and leaders, such as NAR type leaders, as “unqualified and worthless [as teachers] in regard to the faith.” We are warned to stay away from them.
Wandering Stars. The Paganism of Bethel, Hillsong, and the NAR pt 1
Wandering Stars: a well-documented 4 part treatise about the Paganism of Bethel, Hillsong, and the NAR. The credits go to Jeremy Sanders. “Walk through some of the pagan practices of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and how it is seeping into your church.”
Why might many Charismatics not be saved?
This is not an article to denigrate “Charismatics”. This is a resource for Charismatics to learn exactly what the Bible says about charismatic practices. We are to (2 Timothy 2:15) study the Bible so we can be “accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.”
Jesus will reject many “Christians”
Jesus Himself said many that come to Him in the end times will be rejected. Wow. This is not expected! Why will He reject so many? These that He rejects are nice people, loving people. They each call themselves Christians. So much for getting to Heaven by being nice and loving! “Loving” does not save.
Does God give new revelations or is the Bible enough?
Based on Post New Apostolic Reformation Reflections by Rick Becker The Bible was given by God Prophets of old (both Old Testament and New Testament) spoke and wrote as they were inspired by God (2 Peter 1:19-21). Their words were truly given for us – by God. There is a reason we call that collection […]
Values like the Catholics teach
It is a good thing to have values – like what the Catholics teach – to live better. But it is a much better thing to get saved by the redemption of Jesus. Are you truly saved by Jesus?
The controversy of God speaking to you directly
Why fake it? Why speak your own words that you make up — and then claim they are God’s Words? God is against you. Can you imagine that? You really want that?
“I am against you”, God says
To whom did God say “I am against you”? Let’s look at those references.
About staying true & faithful to Jesus
Here is a list to read from… about all you wanted to know (and more) about false teachings versus truth. We need Romans 16:17.
About Being Apostate… following “another gospel”
A series about: Bethel, NAR, false teachings, being apostate, teaching “another gospel”, following a Jesus who cannot save. Do you know what they teach – which makes them so bad and leaves you on the broad road to destruction?
Contradicting Jesus
It doesn’t matter who you think you are, God is not impressed. He will judge all of us on an equal basis. And when God calls a sin, “sin”, it is. How can a deep heart and intelligent mind become so painfully befuddled, to the point that one comes to actually believe that Jesus is okay with sin? So what in the world are people thinking: Calling themselves “Christians” but contradicting Jesus?
Getting Into The Miraculous
Have you so, so wanted “the miraculous”, that you swallowed the whole lie, hook, line, and sinker… the ultimate Bethel Bill deception of following a Jesus who was not God? Scary thought.
The NAR – “A New ‘Reformation’ That Many Don’t Realize They’ve Joined
NAR “associated” churches continue to flourish. Many people who are part of this movement don’t know it’s called the New Apostolic Reformation. In fact, they may not even know they are part of a movement at all. And they may not be fully aware of all the extreme teachings associated with it. Do you?
Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
The main point of the Bible is that God came down to earth as Jesus – to be our God and Savior. Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.
Following the Jesus who was not God
There is no other saving Gospel of Christ.
There is no other saving gospel
What “gospel” are you into? The Bible says there is no other gospel that saves us for all eternity – except the original Gospel of the early church apostles. None. The great falling away from the faith, predicted by Paul, is happening right now in the form of Bethel and other NAR-related church doctrines.
What are they teaching right in there in your church?
False teachers and prophets think of themselves as so special and bright. They “subtly introduce destructive heresies.” “By an act of human will” they make Scripture say what they very well want it to say. And shallow thinkers follow after them.
Why suckling with the mother cat does not make the piglet a kitten
Scripture uses farmers terms. It calls true believers “wheat”, and fake believers “tares”. A tare is a plant that grows up with wheat, but is not true wheat.
Tares are like the piglet that suckles with the kitten’s mother cat. The piglet thinks he’s a kitten because he likes the milk. But he’s only a pig, not a cat. The same is true of folk who like the idea of being blessed by Christ, but never yield to Him.
