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!
