RANDY CLARK & BILL JOHNSON

Randy Clark, Bill Johnson and other "Latter Rain/New Apostolic Reformation" charismatic/pentecostal personalities will be at the upcoming "Voice of Apostles 2013", August, 2013, in Orlando, Florida promo:

    The "Global Awakening History" on the Global Awakening/Apostolic Missions Network church website of Randy Clark, located in Mechanicsburg, PA, relates how Clark, a Vineyard church pastor, met Wimber, ex-Quaker, who founded the Vineyard Church:

    Let Us Reason relates the Randy Clark associations with Rodney Howard-Browne, Kenneth Hagin, and Bill Johnson of "Freshfires Revivalism" renown: http://letusreason.org/Latrain43.htm.
    More on "Revival Fires" is at the Charisma magazine article "Where is Global Revival Headed?" by Randy Clark himself describing his set of beliefs, one being ecumenism, sounding more like Wayne Grudem, i.e., more "centrist" and middle of the road: http://www.charismamag.com/spirit/revival/14930.
    At Sermondrop, the "healing rooms" training sermons of Clark and Johnson are here for your listening pleasure: http://sermondrop.com/series/1669-Healing-Rooms-Training/sermons.
    What is a "healing room"? Well this video gives only the public face of the ecumenically involved folks who use what they believe are Holy Spirit given gifts in a "deliverance ministry" to cast out demons in those "rooms":

    John Wimber's Vineyard Church has been a major proponent of "healing rooms" as well as affiliated Vineyard churches and pastors such as Bruce Latshaw of Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Landenberg, PA:
http://www.vcfbarn.com/service/healing-rooms/ and Latshaw (of Jesus People origin) himself: http://www.brucelatshaw.com/index.html, where he is spreading it locally, using the same methods and philosophy of John G. Lake, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Lake, a faith healer who dates back to the Azusa Street pentecostal revival in Los Angeles, California around 1907.

WIMBER LAYS THE GROUNDWORK-FAULTY WESTERNIZED CHURCHES

This video below from the 1980s shows Wimber disparaging the "Westernized Churches" as having too much (biblical) knowledge to the exclusion of the mystical and experiential. He wants his followers to desire and experience "the stuff" of signs and wonders just like he did:

THE HERETICAL LEGACY OF JOHN WIMBER

Here, Christy Wimber, non-biblical pastrix and daughter of John Wimber discusses her father's legacy with CBN:

JOHN WIMBER/VINEYARD CHURCH INFLUENCE ON RANDY CLARK, BILL JOHNSON

This is an enormous subject, so it will be presented piece by piece as the research comes together. As a start, this video is a promotion type piece boosting Randy Clark, who is portrayed as "Fire Lighter, Vision Caster, Bridge Builder", having a "commitment to 'Power Evangelism'"(the Wimber term). All these terms are reflective and normative of John Wimber, Randy Clark and Bill Johnson being students of, also seen in this video:

CONFISCATION OF ASSETS HAS BEGUN FOR GUN DEALER-WHO'S NEXT?

The owner, Joe Sirochman of American Spirit Arms, has posted this on his Facebook page about Bank of America seizing his deposits because the bank doesn't believe he should be selling arms:

SOVEREIGN GRACE CHURCH IN A MOVIE THEATER

Sovereign Grace church meets in a movie theater in Downingtown, PA. Candy in the foyer, plenty of non-dogmatic dumbed down Bible and seeker friendly atmosphere. Believers? Where? See: http://www.brandywinegrace.org/. The Vimeo movie of the "theater experience" is at: http://vimeo.com/15305935. Need a traditional church? Are there any left and where are they hiding?

DIAPRAX OF ERROR: BETH MOORE & WAYNE GRUDEM BOTH CONTINUATIONISTS

    The self-appointed Southern Baptist pastrix/elder/prophetess Beth Moore, could easily identify with any charismatic, pentecostal, word of faith church, pastor and/or teacher/preacher. Even the neo-reformed personality pastors like Wayne Grudem, John Piper, Albert Mohler, Jr., CJ Mahaney and "reformed charismatic" denominations/fellowships such as Sovereign Grace Ministries, "Reformed" Presbyterian, etc. are continuationist to one degree or another. They do not believe that the "sign gifts" of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, healing, prophecy, words of knowledge ceased with the death of the apostles and the establishment of the early church. Concurrently, they believe in the continuation of modern day apostles and prophets that have authoritative (and sometimes non-authoritative per Grudem) revelations for us today.
    Wayne Grudem, although claiming to be "reformed", nevertheless has "allowed for" the possibility of the continuation of these gifts. This allowance is confusing especially when one considers that Grudem was an in-house theologian and apologist for John Wimber's Vineyard Church which is hyper-charismatic, and subscribes to "power evangelism", the belief that evangelism cannot be effective without "the stuff", i.e., displays of the alleged sign gifts. Grudem has also admitted that he prays in a "private prayer language" known and understood by him alone. Grudem as well as the rest of these continuationists are making the canon of Scripture fluid, i.e., adding to or subtracting from the words and original/in context meanings.
    All the continuationists are not to be trusted, despite their seeming orthodoxy at times. Error is sometimes hidden in massive amounts of truth. It is better to be willingly discerning like the Bereans than to be willingly ignorant. The leaven of error eventually rots the whole. Don't think you can make use of what seems good and leave the rest.
    Here Beth Moore becomes bolder in her assertion that she is hearing directly from God for your benefit. At the same time she maligns the so-called "religious extreme" of cessationism by both mischaracterizing cessationists and what they believe about miracles AND God's ability or willingness to perform miracles. This is a deceptive form of DIAPRAX, presenting the thesis and antithesis and selling the compromise as a "reasonable" position for you to adopt:

 

SOCIALISM IS SLAVERY-WHY NOT END IT IN THE U.S. TOO?

    From the Christian Post is an article about Gary Haugen speaking at Louis Giglio's "Passion 2013" to approximately 60,000 youth about slavery in the world and the goal to raise $3 million to end it: http://www.christianpost.com/news/gary-haugen-at-passion-2013-you-can-be-the-generation-that-ends-slavery-in-the-world-87615/.
    Trouble is, these same youth have been brainwashed by the public schools and their "community" minded pastors to think socialism, if not fascism, both of which will enslave people right here in the once free U.S.A., if not now then tomorrow. Instead, all that money could have been used towards preserving individual freedom here, in both church and state.
    The following video shows Todd Rhoades of Leadership Network http://leadnet.org/about/staff-info/toddrhoades, discussing the fact that scripture twisting Louis Giglio of Passion 2013 has been chosen to deliver the invocation and benediction at Obama's inauguration on January 21, 2013. Apparently the association of Giglio as well as Rick Warren in 2008 with socialist Obama is something to giggle about. That should come as no surprise, given that Todd Rhoades is associated with the mega-church pastor training outfit Leadership Network, one of the sources, besides the Peter Drucker sycophants and Catholic mystical adherents of the emerging churches, of gospel twisting, enslaving, church leadership methodologies. It doesn't occur to all these that slavery is being birthed right in the U.S.A. while they market their self aggrandizing, allegedly slave-ending campaigns in third world countries.
    These are perilous times with the cult of personality seeking every opportunity to, and learning to glorify themselves, with all the latest marketing techniques along with the internet, the media, the social networks, using grandiose, experiential conferences/venues, geared to infect the youth with their apostasies and heresies.
    BEWARE, THESE ARE EVIL DAYS! As was true with Hitler, all it takes is an entire nation to be deceived, starting with the youth and the churches complicit.
