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.
You are all wrong, Jesus said
Are you tipping the scales to get what you want? Maybe using the wrong scales? “You are all wrong
because you know neither the Scriptures [which teach the resurrection] nor the power of God [for He is able to raise the dead].”
Jesus is all man, and all God, for all time
The DNA of Jesus must look similar to ours, but He is both God – and man. Jesus was born on earth – as all man, and all God – for all time. Jesus most certainly did NOT at anytime give up His divine nature, His “Godness”. He was divine throughout all of His 33 years living on earth as a man. Jesus was and is now: totally God, and totally man.
Mark them which cause divisions …and avoid them
It is totally biblical to name names and call-out false teachers, phoney baloney prophets, and false movements. We are encouraged to know well the doctrines of the Bible, so that we ourselves are capable of recognizing when teachers go astray from them. We are warned that teachers will go beyond what Scripture so clearly states, (giving us “Beyond the Burger” varieties).
Words used by false teachers
This article, A glossary of new apostolic reformation terminology, is by Rick Becker over at his site, Famine In The Land. Becker’s content is shared here with the intent to further warn the Church about false teachers. Words make a difference. And these terms used by NAR teachers are leading people into false teachings.
The Feelings, Whispers & Omens of Sean Feucht
This article by Rick Becker is very spot-on. I highly agree with him. He says: “The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a movement that denies the sufficiency of scripture. It comes as no surprise then, that adherents need extra biblical signs in order to justify their actions, or create the impression that God is guiding or speaking to them through something.” And: “It’s ironic that a movement littered with “prophets” and merchandising teachings on “how to hear the voice of God”, needs omens to guide them.”
Post New Apostolic Reformation Reflections
In this article I [Rick Becker] share various stages, or moments of awakening to certain truths that many experience after their exit from the NAR. When you are saved from the deception that captivated you, a process begins to unfold… essential in order to lay a foundation for a faith that doesn’t fall for the various comfortable winds of doctrine. Post New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
Seeing clearly now
Seeing clearly now in these End Times is so very difficult. Misinformation floods our mind threatening to throw our thinking every which way. Sound doctrine, what God has made so very clear for us – gets distorted by false teachers. And the call of the wild beckons. The enemies of our soul are always camping at the gates.To remain faithful to the end, we followers of Jesus must regularly examine ourselves, ask penetrating questions deep inside our insides.
Examples of false doctrines
Examples of false doctrines to stay away from.
Do not attend apostate churches
When you need something more than Jesus, something more than the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul – then you most likely have strayed from Jesus. How do you determine what you believe and follow?
Biblical Commentary About Daily News (1)
So sad, that (in some churches) 30% of those around you in church — are not going to heaven. We cannot assume our fellow attendees believe the truth that God came to earth as a man. And THAT is an integral part of the Gospel of Jesus. In fact, many pastors outright teach false doctrines like this from the pulpit, saying “Jesus isn’t God”. Unbelievable! Why worship Jesus, if He is a mere puny man? His death on the cross would then mean nothing.
