Teachings, Quotes & Facts

REMEMBER, “Virtually every
Single theological heresy always begins with a misconception of who
GOD is” (His nature & His Attributes – Communicable and
Incommunicable)

Word-Faith Movement

• God operates by spiritual law and is obligated
  to obey the “FAITH FILLED” words. “Faith is
  a force and words are the containers of that force.”
• The demotion of God and the deification of
  man – “The biggest failure in the whole Bible is God.” (Kenneth
  Copeland)
• “You are as much an incarnation of God
  as Jesus Christ was. You are a little god.” (Benny Hinn)
• “God could not intervene since He had
  made Adam the god of the earth. God was left on the outside looking
  in.” (Kenneth Copeland)
• Atonement Atrocities – On the
  cross, Jesus took upon Himself the nature of Satan.
  • Jesus died spiritually on the cross.
  • Jesus descended into hell as a mere
    mortal man and endured three days and nights of unimaginable
    abuse at the hands of Satan and his hordes of demons in hell.
  • Jesus did not pay for your redemption
    on the Cross of Calvary, He had to go to hell and be born-again.
  • Jesus defeated the devil by becoming
    the first born-again man.
• Health and Wealth in this life
  now IF you have the “right kind of faith.”
  • Jesus had a nice, big house; wore designer
    clothes and handled big money.
  • “The myth of the “poor
    Jesus” needs to be destroyed because it is holding
    people back.

Kingdon Now/Dominion Theology

• The basic premise of “KINGDOM THEOLOGY” is
  that man lost “DOMINION” over the earth when Adam
  and Eve succumbed to Satan’s temptation in the Garden of Eden. God “LOST
  CONTROL” of the earth to Satan at that time, and has since
  been looking for a “COVENANT PEOPLE” who will be
  His “EXTENSION” or “EXPRESSION” in
  the earth and take “DOMINION” back from Satan. This
  is to be accomplished through certain “OVERCOMERS” who,
  by yielding themselves to the authority of God’s “APOSTLES
  AND PROPHETS” for the “KINGDOM AGE,” will
  take control of the kingdoms of this world. These kingdoms are defined
  as all social, political, economic and military institutions as we
  know today.
• These “OVERCOMERS” have
  the power to believe for and speak into existence things that are
  not, and thus bring about the “KINGDOM AGE” before
  Jesus Christ can return to planet earth.
• There is no “Rapture” in Kingdom
  Theology, so there is no “Second Coming of Jesus” until “THE
  KINGDOM” has been established by the Church under the direction
  of the “SUPER APOSTLES AND PROPHETS.”
• Some of these “OVERCOMERS” will
  have become “IMMORTAL” having already attained what
  is called “RESURRECTION LIFE.”
• “WILLIAM BRANHAM” was perhaps the “GREATEST
  PROPHET” in Kingdom Theology and “WORD-FAITH” Theology.
  He was a proponent of “IMPARTATION,” imparting
  or passing on the Holy Spirit to people through the “LAYING
  ON OF HANDS.” Branham denied the Biblical, Orthodox view
  of the Trinity attributing it to the devil. Instead, he taught
  a form of Modalism: That God is only one person who “MANIFESTED” himself
  as three different attributes: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• “Jesus Christ was a perfect manifestation
  of God the Father.” (Earl Paulk)
• One manner in which the “APOSTLES
  AND PROPHETS” will receive these “NEW REVELATIONS” will
  be through communication with heavenly beings (angels and departed
  saints), as well as with God and specifically Jesus. It’s expected
  that many of these “NEW REVELATIONS” will be authenticated
  through demonstrations of power in the working of “MIRACLES,
  SIGNS AND WONDERS.”
• Emphasis on “DIVINE HEALTH,” WEALTH,” and
  the ability to “SPEAK THINGS INTO EXISTENCE.” (GOD-LIKENESS)
• Man is a “god” and, as such,
  must exercise his or her “godhood” through “DOMINION.”

Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God

• “IMMORTALIZATION” (a state
  of perfection or sinlessness)
• “RESTORATION” of the offices
  of “APOSTLES AND PROPHETS,” who are not to be questioned
  in any way.
• Absolute Authoritarianism – It is imperative
  that the people do not judge teachers, regardless of doctrine.
• “MANIFEST SONS OF GOD” –
  Attainment of “godhood.”
• Sonship comes through “HIGHER REVELATION“
• Extreme fear and guilt for those who do not
  move forward to perfection in order that the Kingdom of God be established.

The Toronto Blessing

• The attraction is the manifestations. Many
  are claiming that the manifestations are the signs and wonders accompanying
  a “latter day” dousing of the Holy Spirit. The manifestations
  include : falling down, uncontrolled shaking, hysterical laughter,
  an assortment of antics from breast-stroking on the floor to lying
  with both legs pointed upwards, tai-chi like motions, pretending
  to be flying and animal noises of remarkable variety from barking
  like a dog to roaring like a lion to oinking like a pig. Since 1994,
  church leaders from all over the world have visited the Toronto Airport
  Vineyard to “catch the craze” and bring it back to their
  congregations. We can now add to the list of sounds and manifestations:
  orgasmic groanings

  and mock births (in reference to delivery of “The Manchild.”

• Gnosticism – The perenniel heresy
  that occurs in all ages of the Church. It basically believes that
  experience (signs, wonders, miracles and

  manifestations overcome and nullify the Scriptures. It includes the belief
  that men can become gods.

• John Arnott – “So when you come
  to Him tonight asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I don’t
  want you to even entertain the thought that you might get a counterfeit.” “And
  so I say to people, “Look, don’t pray “don’t take control,
  you can take control later.” “The whole deal is that you
  lose control and then He takes control.”
• Rodney Howard Browne – “I’d rather
  be in a church where the devil and the flesh are manifesting than
  in a church where nothing is happening because people are too afraid
  to manifest anything”¦and if the devil manifests, don’t worry
  about that either. Rejoice, because at least somethingis happening.” Howard
  Browne is the initiator of the “Holy Laughter Movement” and
  refers to himself as the “Holy Ghost Bartender.”
• The main fruit that this movement can point
  to is enthusiasm, excitement, or exuberance.
• According to Toronto Prophet Marc Dupont,
  another pastor grabbed an imaginary ball of power out of thin air
  and pitched it at the doubter and hit him in the stomach which knocked
  him over and “intoxicated” him in the Spirit.”
• There are those in the “Toronto Movement” that
  believe they are able to transmit the Holy Spirit into other people
  as they choose. They think that the Holy Spirit is a power that they
  can “pump, scoop, blow and press into others.
• “Joel’s Place” – A reference
  to the Kingdom Now teaching that an army of god-men, called “Joel’s
  Army” will take dominion over the earth.
• Vineyard Pastor James Ryle from Promisekeepers,
  John Arnott and Wes Campbell from the Toronto Blessing, and Kansas
  City Prophets Bob Jones and Rick Joyner. ALL report “visions” of
  a “Bloody Civil War” in the church between the “Blues
  and the Grays.”
  • The “Blues” stand for “Revelation Knowledge”
  • The “Grays” stand for “Revelation of
    God’s Word” only

Brownsville/Pensacola Outpouring

• The Brownsville/Pensacola Outpouring’s claim
  to fame is people falling, shaking and going berserk.
• John Kilpatrick (Pastor) “Let me tell
  you something about this revival,” “This move of God is
  not about preaching.”
• Steven Hill (Evangelist) “In these latter
  days, preaching and simply teaching the Word is no longer sufficient;
  the Spirit has to get involved through signs and wonders due to much
  sin that abounds.”
• Michael Brown (Resident Theologian) To his
  critics – “Are you totally and absolutely sure that you are
  right in attacking the current revival? Are you willing to wager
  your salvation on the fact that you are correct?”

Promisekeepers

Bill McCartney’s pastor and mentor, the infamous
James Ryle, is on the Board of Directors of Promisekeepers. Ryle is
a loose cannon who has prophesied such outrageous things as a “Civil
War” between Christians over the latest “Holy Laughter/Toronto
Craze and that the Beatle’s, yes the rock band, were annointed to bring
forth a world wide revival. Need I say more”¦ Read all the articles
from various authors on the subject from all the different Discernment
Ministries at the end of this outline.

I would like to conclude by saying
that I and a host of others (those who have done the real in-depth
studying and have been involved in these movements themselves) know
that these movements are extremely dangerous theologically and is restoring
the ancient heresy and practices of GNOCTICISM, not true historical,
biblical Christianity. This is paving the way for the widespread acceptance
of false doctrine and the false signs, wonders and miracles which will
be a trademark not only for the current apostasy ecumenical counterfeit
revival but also of the Antichrist during the coming 7 year Tribulation.

Terms

Eutychiansim – A heretical
teaching in that it states that Christ’s two natures were so thoroughly
combined, in a sense scrambled together, that the result was that Christ
was not really truly able to relate to us as humans. The problem is
that this implies that Jesus was not truly GOD nor man. Therefore,
He would be unable to act as mediator and unable to truly ATONE for
sins (Read Hebrews, Chapters 7 – 10)

Hypostatic Union – A biblical
teaching which refers to the union of the two natures (Divine and Human)
in the Person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is GOD in human flesh. He is fully
GOD and fully Man, thus, He has two natures: God and Man. He is not
half GOD and half Man. He is 100% GOD and 100% Man. He never lost His
Divinity. He continued to exist as GOD when He became a Man and added
human nature to Himself. Therefore, there is a “union in One Person
of a full human nature and a full Divine nature.

Divinity means the quality
of being GOD. Jesus was always GOD. After Jesus died on the Cross,
He did not lose His Divinity and suffer in hell at the hands of Satan
and his hordes for 3 days and 3 nights. This “Word-Faith” doctrine
is absolutely false!
