Förruttnelse och korrupt process i den s.k. enhetsrörelsen, ekumeniken

Här ser vi vart den s.k. frikyrkligheten är på väg, min egen kommentar visas nedan denna artikel av Sven Nilsson från Hemmets Vän.

Kristen enhet en levande process

DEBATT Publicerad: 2010-03-25 Davids vallfartssång Psalm 133 brukar ofta citeras som en vision av kristen enhet när den är som bäst. ”Se hur gott och ljuvligt det är att bröder bo endräktigt tillsammans.”

Det kan vara värt att lägga märke till, att just denna psalm är en så kallad vallfartssång.
Just vandringsmotivet är betecknande för den enhetsrörelse som alla samfund och kyrkor på något sätt blivit berörda av under 2000-talet.

Det ekumeniska tänkandet har tidigare i alltför hög grad varit bundet till en statisk modell där man utgår från att enhet kan uppnås som ett tillstånd, snarare än att se enhet som en levande process av relationer mellan människor.

Historiskt sett har vi haft svårt att hantera spänningen mellan det statiska och dynamiska eftersom det är just i det spänningsfältet som sekter och nya samfundsstrukturer brukar uppstå.

Det finns naturligtvis något bestående – det som en gång för alla är överlämnat från Jesus och apostlarna – det som skall traderas från en generation till en annan. Men överföringen och tillägnandet av detta innehåll måste ske i en process av ständig andlig förnyelse som inte alltid är en kollektiv erfarenhet och därför kan leda till interna spänningar.

Likt Israel under ökenvandringen måste vi ha vår uppmärksamhet på ”molnstoden” – Guds närvaro – och röra oss i det mönster av uppbrott, vandring och lägerplatser som den helige Ande leder oss till.

Gemenskapsupplevelser likt Jesusmanifestationen i Kungsträdgården bidrar till att befästa ett folk med vetande inom svensk kristenhet.

Men det som på sikt betyder allra mest är, att andliga ledare från olika sammanhang bekräftar varandras tjänst i ömsesidig respekt. Ingenting kan som detta bryta ner sekteristiska attityder och oandligt prat kristna emellan.

Kraften i det här rörelsemönstret skall inte underskattas.

Jag tror att den pågående enhetsrörelsen har sina transportsträckor, där vi inte riktigt vet vart vi är på väg.

Men processen kommer också att ta form i nya organisatoriska strukturer i likhet med Evangeliska Frikyrkan och det som pågår i mötet mellan Missionskyrkan, Baptistsamfundet och Metodistkyrkan.

I ett större perspektiv måste ändå sådana lösningar närmast betraktas som provisoriska ”lägerplatser” där vi får slå upp våra tälthyddor för en tid och firar gudstjänst i glädje tillsammans. Men i ett Gudsrikesperspektiv kan vi förvänta oss att den helige Andes verk kommer att gå djupare än så. Det viktiga är att vi inte förlorar kontakten med varandra när molnstoden lyfter igen och vill ta oss vidare.

Både de historiska kyrkorna och frikyrkorörelsen står inför stora utmaningar.

Egen notis: historiska kyrkorna menas katolicism, ortodoxa maria dyrkare (himmlens drottning) etc.

De historiska kyrkorna måste ompröva vissa delar av sin tradition i respekt för Andens verk i de väckelserörelser som förnyat och profilerat det kristna vittnesbördet i fråga om församlingen som de troendes gemenskap, helgelse, dop och nattvard.

Frikyrkosamfunden och fria församlingsrörelser behöver erkänna de historiska kyrkornas betydelse som traditionsbärare samtidigt som vi står upp för den lokala församlingens identitet som det konkreta uttrycket för ”koinonia” – de troendes gemenskap.

Ett starkt lokalt församlingsmedvetande står inte i motsatsförhållande till delaktighet med hela Kristi kropp. Men enheten måste också få en institutionell dimension där vi konfronterar det världsliga systemet inte endast som enskilda troende utan som ett folk, en samlad kristenhet.

Det är hoppingivande, att den karismatiska väckelsen som berört alla delar av den världsvida kristenheten, har en tydlig tendens att föra kristna samman i en mängd nya nätverk och konstellationer som pekar utöver sig själva. Något stort håller på att ske, där inget kött skall kunna stå emot och inget kött skall kunna berömma sig.

Förruttnelse och korrupt process i den s.k. enhetsrörelsen, ekumeniken

Svar till Sven Nilsson: Den ekumeniska ”processen”/ Jag tror att den pågående enhetsrörelsen har sina transportsträckor, där vi inte riktigt vet vart vi är på väg. ???

Nog talar Sven i gåtfulla, dunkla, mystiska, kryptiska, ord han processar om ekumenik blandad med karismatisk kaotisk villfarelse, något som ska vara en form av enhetsrörelse, men frågan är av vad slag och till vilket ändamål?

Att ekumeniken blandar samman olika religionsbegrepp såsom katolicism, ortodoxa maria dyrkare, (Himladrottningen), och en mångfald av irr läror, New Age, mysticism, mystik religioner etc. det tycks Sven N. inte ta någon notis om.

Compound – multiple, manifold, numerous, many, several, various, compound, complex, composite, multifaceted, multifarious, multipart, mix, complex, amalgam, composite, merged, fused, amalgamated, combined, combination, multiple, multipart, fusion, synthesis, combination, aggregate, amalgamation, complex, mixture, amalgam, compound,

Multipel


Denna surdegs-religion står främmande för Bibelns utsagor och har gjort sig en egen ”religion” grundad på villfarelse!

Det märkliga är att de som på Biblisk grund väljer att stå utanför detta ”läger” ständigt kallas att ha ”sekteristiska attityder och oandligt prat kristna emellan”. Här växlas svart till vitt eller vitt till svart och Sven silar mygg och sväljer kameler likt många andra ekumener och karisma-magiker! Det är ett trolleri med ord och förväxlingar av ord som får en annan betydelse än det som Bibeln lär! En känd tradition bland de ”ekumeniska” och karismatiska pådrivarna!

Det är tydligt att den STORA VISIONEN trots allt är att ena alltsamman under VÄRLDSKYRKAN, med PÅVEN som ÖVERHUVUD. Någon molnstod lär likväl aldrig låta sig manipuleras att sammanblandas med ett släkte av sådant slag!

Här sker en överföring, överflyttning, till sköko religion med moders komplex sammanhängande helheter, sammansatt, flerdelad, flerledad, tvångsföreställning!

Den karismatiska rörelsen är en kaotisk, magisk, trolldegs-form som endast syftar till avfall och förnekelser genom spiritualism, New Age metoder och sakramentalism som styrs av Gnostiska Magiker!

Som sagt om man inte riktigt vet vart man är på väg så borde man lära sig att underordna sig vad Bibeln lär och inte förkunna ”främmande läror” vilket innebär en ödeläggelse och rotlöshet som alstrar villfarelser i Tron!

Sven Nilsson säger: "Men enheten måste också få en institutionell dimension där vi konfronterar det världsliga systemet inte endast som enskilda troende utan som ett folk, en samlad kristenhet.

Det är hoppingivande, att den karismatiska väckelsen som berört alla delar av den världsvida kristenheten, har en tydlig tendens att föra kristna samman i en mängd nya nätverk och konstellationer som pekar utöver sig själva. Något stort håller på att ske, där inget kött skall kunna stå emot och inget kött skall kunna berömma sig."

Nog är det köttslighet som ger näring, föda, dimension åt en sådan institution (lärosäte) inrättning, anstalt, organ, institut, tradition, sedvänja, hävdvunnen regel, traditionell, vedertagen, norm, praxis, hävd, konstruktionsvirke, bjälke!

Att den Svenska ”frikyrkligheten” tappat rodret är nog så tydligt, uppenbarat, blottat, avslöjat, exponerat, i dessa dagar!

Upp 3:7 Och skriv till Filadelfias församlings ängel: "Så säger den Helige, den Sannfärdige, han som har 'Davids nyckel', han som 'upplåter, och ingen kan tillsluta', han som 'tillsluter, och ingen upplåter':

What Are We Left With? By James Jacob Prasch

What Are We Left With?

What Are We Left With?

As emergent apostate McLaren continues his satanic agenda to dismantle the Gospel, and as John Piper promotes Rick Warren, the real question emerges: What Are We Really Left With?

By James Jacob Prasch

First Satan raised up ecumenical deceiver Chuck Colson supported by false prophet Pat Robertson and J. I. Packer to betray the scriptural Gospel compromising with the sacramental one of Roman Catholicism.

Then Satan raised up anti-Israel preacher John Stott and Replacement Theology Restorationist Roger Forster to deny that Jesus died to save souls from a permanent conscious hell because they teach none exists.

Then Satan raised up Tony Campolo and his son Bart to deny that things Scripture calls sin are sin, stating that portions of God’s Word with which they disagree will either be spiritualized away or ignored.

Then Satan raised up Mike Bickels assortment of predatory perverts, drunks, homosexuals, and mystics — the Kansas City False Prophets who propagated an over-realized eschatology of Kingdom Dominion Theology fueled by failed prophetic predictions.

Then Satan raised up Rick Warren to replace Gods peace plan with Rick Warrens multi-faith one and replace the scriptural kerygma of Gospel presentation with a seeker-friendly one based on the marketing psychology of Peter Drucker, Bill Hybels, Robert Schuller, and New Age mystic Ken Blanchard.

Warrens Purpose Driven Lie is not built on biblical theology but on popular psychology which downplays sin.

Then Satan raised up Steve Chalk to deny that Jesus died for sin because it would make God a child abuser in his view.

If this were not enough, then Satan deluded the church with counterfeit revivals in Toronto, Pensacola, and Lakeland raising up deceivers like John Arnott, Colin Dye, Sandy Miller, Wyn Lews, R. T. Kendall, Rodney Howard Browne, Gerald Coates, John Kilpatrick, Mike Evans, Michael Brown, Guy Chevreau, Mark Dupont, Bill Johnson, C. Peter Wagner, and proven false prophet Rick Joyner.

Satan had already discredited the church and its message in the eyes of the fallen world it is called to evangelize with Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, TBN, Joyce Meyer, Morris Cerullo, Creflo Dollar and the money preachers.

Then Satan raised up corrupters of God’s Word itself seeking to replace Scripture with counterfeits of it such as Eugene Petersons The Message.

Then Satan raised up a list of heretical authors writing popular books at fundamental odds with scriptural doctrine such as The God Chasers, The Prayer of Jabez and other such specimens of pseudo-spiritual junk.

Then Satan raised up someone to write The Shack which not only denies the scriptural Gospel but amounts to blasphemy. Satan even raised up Gayle Irwin to endorse it.

Then Satan raised up Dan Kimball and Brian McLaren supported by Rick Warren to rewrite Christianity as a post-modern. Neo-mystical religion.

What we are left with is a Christianity that is not scripturally Christian. We are left with an evangelicism that is not scripturally Evangelical.

We are left with Christian books that are not authentically Christian and preachers who do not preach scripture but secular psychology and secular philosophy thinly disguised in Christian jargon.

We are left with an ecumenical unity that is not the unity of the Holy Spirit but the expressway to Babylon.

We are left with revivals that are not revivals and with translations of Gods Word that are not the Word of God.

We are left with a charismata that is, rather, charismania and a false spirituality imagining itself to be Christian but is actually little more than New Age mysticism.

We are left with an apostate Evangelical church that is as much a harlot church as the Catholic Church of Rome, Eastern Orthodoxy, or Liberal Protestantism ever were.

We are left with a version of faith that is nothing more than greed and a god who is not YHWH but mammon.

We are left with a Stephen Sizer embracing the grace and favor of radical Islamic terrorist Iran who have martyred 98% of Iranian Christian pastors without Sizer uttering a syllable of complaint about the mass murder of Christians as he appeared on Iranian TV to denounce Israel, the one nation in the Middle East shielding the human rights and religious freedom of its Christian population.

We are left with seminaries like Fuller that are mere ecclesiastical business schools and faculties of psychology where they pray before their stupid, worthless lectures.

Then we have so-called Evangelical theologians such as J. D. G. Dunn and Colin Chapman who are theological liberals, Clark Pinnock who denies that God knows the future, and Norman Geisler who is a Tomist Aristotilian in the Roman Catholic tradition of Thomas Aquinas.

We are left with the utterly pathetic figure of John Piper, the Calvinistic Replacements now embracing Rick Warren after Warren appeared on Larry King Live on CNN and recanted his opposition to California’s Proposition 8 and same-sex marriage.

We are left with a revisionist church history, an abject doctrinal theology, a hermeneutic that is gnostic, and a gospel that is no longer the true Gospel at all. Indeed, the Christ of the Emergent Church is no more the Christ of Scripture than the Roman Catholic eucharistic Christ or the plastic idol on the dashboard are the real Jesus.

From Benn Hinn to Todd Bentley, from Rick Warren to John Piper, from Chuck Colson to Brian McLaren, from Stephen Sizer to Rick Joyner — the rise of so many false teachers and false prophets dispatched by Satan to deceive the elect is exactly what we were forewarned to expect.

McLarens latest book of demonic lies from hell simply fits the groove and paves the next step of the way for dawn of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

Therefore Satan uses his servant Rick Warren to instruct Christians to reject and defy the command of Jesus for us to be watchful concerning the signs of His return by distorting the Scriptures and teaching the undiscerning to avoid End Time prophecy. Yet this too is exactly what Jesus told us it would be like before He returns.

Indeed, Will the Son of Man find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8)

In His Grace, May Jesus Keep Us Faithful To Him.

May God Bless Dave Hunt, Roger Oakland, Tony Peace, David Hocking, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Warren Smith, Ray Yungen, Chuck Smith, Jack Hibbs, Bill Randles, Philip Powell, Mike Gendron, David Wilkerson, Ray Comfort, Justin Peters, Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Stuart Dool, Doug Harris, John Higgins, Joseph Fara, Bob De Waay and the other servants of the One True God who labor to uphold Gods eternal truth and proclaim the true Gospel in this age of apostasy and decline.

None of these men are perfect or without flaw, nor above all either am I. But by the grace of God all of them tell the truth.

Jesusmanifestationen 2010 or manifestation of a mixed-up religion!

You can use Google translate/du kan använda Google översättning!

Stanley Sjöberg and Ulf Ekman seducers. Another easy gospel !

see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5-0zgi3mXs&feature=player_embedded
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uvS99k21jU&feature=related

As for Stanley Sjöberg, Linda Bergling, Arken, Curt Johansson, Trosgnistan, Södermalmskyrkan, Pingströrelsen, Sven Nilsson, Ulf Ekman, Livets Ord and many others among the evangelicals as EFK and Pentecostals now persisting to promote for Charismatic, Ecumenical unity embracing the Catholic pagan mixed religion making a mixed-up religion, they have to be tried.

Some more names in the ecumenical chaos Niklas Piensoho, Göran Skytte, Berit Simonsson, Ulf Ekman och Anders Arborelius catholic bishop. Simon Ådahl, en gospel choir och en eritreansk choir, Hakon Långström, Lennart Henricsson, Kristina Frisk, Linda Bergling Arken, Bengt Johansson worship leader, Raniero Cantalamessa, Popes personal preacher, in the Vatican, agent salesman from the market, Stanley Sjöberg, Tjebbo van den Eijkof, Lennart Möller and many others...

The Jesus demonstration or Jesus manifestation year 2010 will be “a manifestation”, but nobody seems to know what will the end result of this false, fabricated, made-up manifesto, encode, agenda, program, marked, show, - let somebody see, put under somebody's nose, present portray, represent, introduce, acquaint with, organize, display, put on, stage, show.

Here we will see what these promoter`s will provide in a dim light!

Quote of Stanley Sjöberg:Det är en kärlekens förpliktelse att som Jesustroende kristen manifestera samhörighet och tillhörighet med dessa historiska kyrkor, även om vi också själva har en unik kallelse och personlig integritet att vårda och bevara.

Quote of Sven Nilsson a charismatic and promotor for Jesus manifestation, demonstration:

”Jag tror att den pågående enhetsrörelsen har sina transportsträckor, där vi inte riktigt vet vart vi är på väg.” - there we not truly know where we is on way!

In year 2009 the Jesusdemonstration invited Fader Raniero Cantalamessa, vars ställning som "påvliga hushållets predikant" gör honom till den ende prästen med rätt att predika för påven!

As Charismatic`s and Catholics, Ecumenical`s all have the same mind, spirit to worship the beast, we should be very careful to test those spirit`s, teacher`s who broaden the way to destruction!

Charismatic movement is a rival counterfeit to The Spirit of Jesus Christ!

THE LATTER RAIN REVIVAL

By Barbara Aho

Modern Prophets have received "new revelations" of the end-time which, until now, have not been understood by the Church. Truly, a "New Breed" of Apostles and Prophets is being raised up who will assume their end-time role of leading the Church to take dominion and to execute God’s judgments in the world. Vineyard Ministries Apostle, Jack Deere, believes that the two witnesses in Revelation 11 may very well be Kansas City Prophets, Paul Cain and Bob Jones.

(1) Says Paul Cain:
"God is raising up a new standard, a new banner if you will, that’s going to radically change the expression, the understanding of Christianity in our generation…God has invited us to have a role in establishing this NEW ORDER of Christianity…God is offering to this generation something He has never offered to any other generation… Beware lest OLD ORDER brethren rob you and steal this hope from you!

(2)Bob Jones has received special revelation about this new hope:
"I have called the best of every blood line in earth unto this generation…I have elected to bring them forth in this generation…THE ELECT GENERATION…even the bloodline of Paul…of David…of Peter, James and John…They will even be superior to them in heart, stature and love for me’…Your children will possess the spirit without measure…They will move into things of the supernatural that no one has ever moved in before…coming into the DIVINE NATURE of Jesus Christ…a Church that has reached the full maturity of the GODMAN! This generation…is going to see the beginning of this WORLD WIDE NEW ORDER."

(3) Are you having difficulty discerning or receiving this "new revelation"? Then perhaps you have been interpreting your Bible in the "old way" -- comparing Scripture with Scripture, studying diligently to account for every jot and titles and being careful to rightly divide the Word of truth.

If this describes you, then you belong to the "Old Generation" which will not enter in to "possess the land" in the Latter Rain Revival. You may even be a member of a denominational church with its dogmatic confession of faith and statement of doctrine. These legalistic forms will be relics of the past in the up and coming "Postdenominational Church." Paul Cain advises that you "dump all that carnal stuff" (doctrine) and listen to what the "spirit" is saying to the churches through the Latter Rain Prophets and Apostles, who are dispensing many "new, sacred truths."

Now, back to your Bible study. In your Bible you will want to change the book of "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" to "The Manifestation of the Sons of God." That’s right, we are not to be looking for the "coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering unto Him." Nope.

That would be an "escapist mentality" to be repented of at once if we would be Overcomers. Instead, we should be looking forward to the glorification of the Corporate Church, which will become perfect and immortal here on earth before the Second Coming. In fact, as Jesus comes "spiritually and invisibly" to His Church, He will actually "incarnate" the Corporate Body and reveal Himself to the world through miraculous signs and wonders performed by the "Manifest Sons of God." ??

This great end-time Company is really the "Manchild" of Revelation 12 which will rule the nations with a rod of iron. (You will need to replace Israel with the Church in this passage.) Yes, this end-time Church is also the prophetic fulfillment of the dreadful army in Joel 2, which is God’s agent of judgment to cleanse the earth of evil during the "times of restitution." (You will find this army also in Revelation 9!) Since the Manifest Sons of God are "the Christ," they will be putting all things under their (oops!) His feet, including the "old order" brethren.

Are you wondering by what authority the modern Prophets and Apostles presume to confer this Divine Right upon themselves and their followers? Not to worry! Paul Crouch, President of Trinity Broadcasting Network, has provided the following exegesis of Jesus’ parable:
"Read the parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13:24-30 and you will see that at the end of this age the "ANGELS" are sent forth to remove evil from the earth. That word "ANGELS" also means messengers. So God may use some of us to finish up the work of this age."

(4) Those who would be chosen as the elect Manifest Sons of God by the modern Apostles and Prophets, must first repent of their old divisive attitude of separation from error. Christ cannot incarnate a divided church and for this reason we will need to be delivered from our narrow doctrinal point of view and join the ecumenical crowd on the Broad Way. It matters not that the blood of the martyrs was shed contending for the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Those who persist in being contentious about doctrine may join them when the great "revival" arrives circa A.D. 2000.
________________________________________

Over 50 years ago, William Branham, George Warnock, Paul Cain and others attempted to introduce Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God teachings into the Pentecostal movement.

In 1949, however, the Assemblies of God officially rejected the Latter Rain/ Manifest Sons of God doctrine as "heresy." The cult went underground but surfaced again in the 1960’s as the Manchild Company. Disregarding the Assemblies of God decision, Paul Cain, the Kansas City Prophets and Vineyard Ministries have subsequently reintroduced and successfully established this false doctrine in the Pentecostal churches.

The Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God doctrine "involved a man-child elite group of Overcomers taking dominion over all nations and reigning in the heavenlies while overseeing drastic judgment on all who remained in the 'old generation' -- i.e., the denominational churches!

The Latter-Rain teachings promised a Second Pentecost outpouring to empower this elite group, and to incarnate the Christ within them to the degree that they will become perfect and invincible, even to the overthrow of heavenly powers."

(5)Today, few recall the controversy surrounding Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God doctrines fifty years ago and their repudiation by the Church. Of necessity, they are now camouflaged and Christians must have an accurate understanding of Scripture to discern these counterfeit winds of doctrine.

Charismatic churches are well-established in Latter Rain doctrine and Evangelical churches are currently being indoctrinated via numerous parachurch organizations and movements.
Latter Rain teachings include: Kingdom Now/Dominion Theology, Progressive Revelation, Revival/Harvest, Joel’s Army, Replacement Theology, Post-Millennial Eschatology, Signs and Wonders, Territorial Warfare, Ecumenism, Restoration of Apostles and Prophets, Jubilee/Feast of Tabernacles, and the Post-denominational Church.

GNOSTICISM

Latter Rain doctrine is a modern version of the classic heresy of Gnosticism, which taught that a spiritual elite possessed "hidden knowledge" of the divine realm which placed their personal revelations, spiritual experiences, and private interpretation of Scripture above the ordinary revelation of God’s Word.

In Latter Rain doctrine, Pentecost was the "former rain" or outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the Church must yet receive a second Holy Spirit visitation. At this time, the Sons of God will be glorified and manifested to all as they establish the Kingdom on earth before Jesus Christ returns bodily.

Latter Rain prophets are now preparing multitudes for this transformation.

In a 1991 program entitled "Manifested Sons of God," Morris Cerullo flattered his audience with the following blasphemy,
"You represent all that God is and all that God has...Jesus was the visible expression of God. Jesus was the Son of the Living God. Now, who are you? Sons of God…everyone say it. What is working inside of us is the manifestation. When you look at me, you are looking at Jesus…To see Jesus was to see God. To see me is to see Jesus. Jesus knew who He was. Don’t you think it is about time we know who we are?"

(6)Benny Hinn fills convention centers worldwide preaching a similar message, which exalts the creature rather than the Creator, and induces spiritual pride:
"This spirit-man within me is a God-man. Say after me, he’s born of heaven, he’s a super-being…Say I’m born of heaven - God-man. I’m a God-man. I’m a sample of Jesus. I’m a super being.

Say it! Say it!

Who’s a super being? I walk in the realm of the supernatural. Get the spirit-man renewed…when he’s strong, he’ll hold off sickness…you want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from left, right and center. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness…Say after me, I hold my destiny."

(7) Thus, whole congregations are bewitched with the prospect of unleashing their potential as ‘Godmen’ in the approaching "Latter Rain Revival." This predicted restoration is an outgrowth of Replacement Theology which appropriates to the Church the promises of restoration which God gave to Israel, specifically Joel 2:23 and Hosea 6:3. James 5:7 simply states that the Church must patiently wait for the coming of the Lord as the husbandman waits for the "latter rain" to receive the full harvest. The saints will then reign with Christ, as seen in Revelation 19. Neither Daniel, Matthew 24, Thessalonians nor Revelation mention a great Christian revival, but characterize the period before the Second Coming as a perilous time of great deception, paganism, apostasy from the faith and persecution of the saints.

In I John 4:1-3, Christians are enjoined to "believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." However, there is a common theme in many of the new revelations that those who resist the "new move of God" as unscriptural are lukewarm, immature or even divisive members of the Body. The following prophecy by Gwen Shaw, President of End-Time Handmaidens, is typical of this attitude:
"If you can’t think in a new way, if you can’t accept what I am going to do, you will burst. You will not be able to accept the expansion of this new wine. This new wine shall cause many to expand in their understanding of the ways of God. Because some are not equipped, and some are not prepared, and because of their indifference and their critical spirit, their wineskins shall burst."

(8) Those in authority who indiscriminately censure believers for questioning new revelations are interfering with an important step in the biblical process of testing prophecy.
Yet throughout the Latter Rain move, leaders have scarcely, if at all, encouraged the church to be like the noble Bereans in Acts 17 who "searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

Rather, they commonly protest that any objection to the new revelations is of a judgmental spirit or a personal attack on the prophets. These rash assumptions prevent all honest discussion concerning the doctrinal bases for assumed "new" revelations.

Paul Cain even advised his audience to wait until they get to heaven to examine his exposition of the ‘Manchild Company,’ which would never stand the test of Scripture:
"…I know some of you are going to disagree with this. Don’t you even stop to disagree. Revelation 12:5. If you disagree, just file it in ‘miscellaneous’ and check it out. And don’t bother with it; when we get to heaven we’ll check it out and you’ll find out I’m right…"

(9)NEW AGE PARALLELS

However inconsistent it may be with the Word of God, Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God eschatology agrees on every point with the New Age Movement’s anticipation of the exaltation of mankind to godhood and the establishment of a New World Order.

The following appraisal of Latter Rain theology by New Age Unity pastor, Rev. Earnest Ramsey was cited in Constance Cumbey’s book, A Planned Deception, The Staging of a New Age Messiah,
"Rev. Ernest Ramsey, an associate pastor at Unity's Kansas City's Founder's Church, Unity on the Plaza, is an enthusiastic follower of the Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme teachings.
In his Research Report #2, he tells of something he was led to by a spirit guide - what he terms 'Neo-Pentecostalism.' An aberrant branch of Pentecostalism, this is more commonly known as the 'Manifest Sons of God.' That movement is also referred to as 'Sonship' or 'Overcomers.' Ramsey concludes based on even less evidence than I have personally collected that this is part of the New Age Movement.

"Ramsey's work for his organization, 'Synthesis Fellowship,' first came to my attention in early 1983. His major report, entitled "An Evolutionary Basis For The Reappearance of the Christ and his Executives, the Masters of Wisdom" was inspired by Benjamin Creme's appearance and speech at Unity on the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. . . The most interesting section of Ramsey's report dealt with 'Neo-Pentecostalism.' Ramsey spent a semester at one of the Neo-Pentecostal or Manifest Sons of God seminaries (in upstate New York). . . Already familiar with the Alice Bailey writings, he was amazed to see that there was a branch of Pentecostalism that embraced the same teachings -- albeit using sometimes different terminology.

"Like those seeking the 'Age of Aquarius' these people too were seeking a 'New Age.' Like the other New Agers, these people taught that 'The Christ' was an anointing - not necessarily one man.

They taught that Jesus was a pattern son who was to be a sign of something even greater to come - the 'Manifestation of the Sons of God.'

They too believed the earth was to be cleansed of evil. And chillingly like the other New Agers, they believed they were to be 'God's' instruments to do such cleansing. The New Agers believed they were gods. The Manifest Sons of God likewise taught that if one accepted their 'new revelation' that they themselves would actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or manifestation of the Sons of God."

(10)Other prominent New Age leaders have openly expressed the intention of their movement to infiltrate the Christian Church in order to introduce their esoteric teachings and to "draw away disciples after themselves."

In The Unfinished Animal: The Aquarian Frontier and the Evolution of Consciousness, Theodore Rosak revealed that, "Charismatic congregations in main-line churches are entry points into the Aquarian frontier."

(11) Alice Bailey, Theosophist and mother of the modern New Age Movement, revealed an ingenious plan in her 1957 volume, The Extermination of the Hierarchy.

Cabalist agents would infiltrate the Christian Church to modify its message, while adapting it as a vehicle for the Universal Religion of the 21stCentury.

"…The church movement, like all else, is but a temporary expedient and serves but a transient resting place for the evolving life. Eventually, there will appear the Church Universal, and its definite outlines will appear towards the close of this century… This Church will be nurtured into activity by the Christ and His disciples when the outpouring of the Christ principle, the TRUE second Coming has been accomplished… the Christian church in its many branches can serve as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished…
Note: nucleus – center, hub, base, seat, basis, focus, core, nub, heart,
the church as a teaching factor should take the great basic doctrines and (shattering the old forms in which they are expressed and held) show their true and inner spiritual significance.
The prime work of the church is to teach, and teach ceaselessly, preserving the outer appearance in order to reach the many who are accustomed to church usages.

Teachers must be trained; Bible knowledge must be spread; the sacraments must be mystically interpreted, and the power of the church to heal must be demonstrated."

(12) (Italics added)
ANOTHER PENTECOST?

In Latter Rain doctrine, paramount emphasis is placed on the proposed Year of Jubilee A.D. 2000, when all nations and a "united" Church will celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

The prophetic fulfillment of this Feast is said to occur prior to the return of Christ.
Latter Rain prophets claim that this will also be a "Second Pentecost," since the first was ‘incomplete.’

Christ will then appear in the midst of His people and be incarnated in his Body, filling the Corporate "Christ" with His glory, which will then be poured out on all flesh.

"There is another realm of spiritual experience typified in scripture by the Feast of Tabernacles. Until we understand and partake of this feast, as we have both Passover and Pentecost, we will never fulfill our destiny and calling. We must discover the meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles and ‘celebrate’ it along with Passover and Pentecost…What God did among Jews in Jerusalem, He is going to do among humanity and worldwide. Pentecost will come to maturity in the feast of Tabernacles."

(13) This Latter Rain "Second Pentecost" during Tabernacles is suggestive of the "Planetary Pentecost" preached by Barbara Marx Hubbard as the peaceful "alternative to Armageddon." At this time, a "quantum leap" in the evolution of mankind will occur as revealed to her by "the Christ": "At the moment of cosmic contact, I will appear to you both through inner experience and through external communication on your mass media." Says Ms. Hubbard, it will be a time when "the divisions of the religions would be over…We would each know that God is within us…If all who feel we are connected to each other, to nature and to God join in a planetary Pentecost, we shall be transformed in this lifetime.

I believe in the peaceful second Coming."

(14) Earnest Ramsey perceived virtually no difference at all between the New Age Tabernacles/Year of Jubilee and the Latter Rain interpretation of these celebrations.
"Ernest Ramsey excitedly pointed out in his report that [the Manifest Sons] had a teaching which indeed did parallel the Aquarian teaching of the Age of Aquarius -- the Old Testament 'Year of Jubilee' as well as the 'Feast of Tabernacles.' The Year of Jubilee paralleled the redistribution of the world's wealth. The Feast of Tabernacles was the equivalent of the coming together of the World's peoples and varied religions under one tent or tabernacle -- the equivalent of the New Agers' long-awaited 'New World Religion.'"

(15) Coincidental with the Latter Rain/New Age agenda to celebrate Tabernacles in the proposed Year of Jubilee, the Vatican Central Committee is coordinating with other Catholic Rites and church conferences, such as Episcopal, Anglican Communion, World Lutheran Federation, World Reformed Alliance, Methodist World Council, the World Council of Churches for a celebration of the Great Jubilee "which will take place simultaneously in the Holy Land, in Rome and in the local Churches throughout the world."

(16) In ancient Israel, the 50 year Jubilee celebration freed all slaves, canceled all debts, and restored properties to the original owners. Pope John Paul II, New Age/New World Order planners and Pat Robertson (17) of the Christian Broadcasting Network have all called for the worldwide redistribution of wealth and cancellation of debt in 2000 A.D.--severe measures that would precipitate the collapse of secular economies which have not planned for this adjustment.

Concurrent with Rome’s initiative, International Christian Embassy Jerusalem is promoting "Taste of Tabernacles" celebrations in Christian churches and parachurch ministries worldwide.
Johann Luckhoff, Director of ICEJ, was invited by New Age advocate, Jay Gary, to speak at the ecumenical A.D. 2000 Global Conference on World Evangelism in Seoul, South Korea in 1989.
Says Luckoff, "One of the reasons I was invited to Korea was because the organizers of the GCOWE hope to have the next gathering in Jerusalem at the end of the millennium. That should be quite an event." George Warnock would agree. In 1951, Warnock forged a definitive doctrine for the Latter Rain Movement in his book, The Feast of Tabernacles, and specifically noted that the "Christ should visit the saints…and minister his life ‘in secret’ before He is openly manifest."

(18) Zechariah 14:16 states that the nations will go to Jerusalem annually to worship the King and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles,after the return of Jesus Christ. Which "Christ" will the Latter Rain prophets worship?

"We must not miss this point: the replacement theology of the Manifest Sons of the Latter Rain, which New Ager Ramsey called ‘Neo-Pentecostalism,’ has brought the Age of Aquarius into the Church under the guise of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Year of Jubilee."

(19)NEW REVELATION

To defend their unbiblical exposition of many doctrines, Latter Rain prophets and apostles claim that "new" teachings, prophecies and interpretations of Scripture are progressively being unveiled which have heretofore not been revealed to the Church.

Even though such visions, prophecies and revelations are unsupported by the Word of God, they are nonetheless canonized as doctrine because they were accompanied by spiritual experiences.

However, Hebrews 1:1,2 states, "God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son." Since Jesus Christ is the Word of God, I Corinthians 14:29 contains the provision that all prophecy in the church be tested and judged by its conformity to Scripture. Isaiah 8:20 declares, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

In 1993, Charismatic Pastor John Hinkle prophesied nationally that on Thursday, June 9, God would remove the evil from the earth. That this was a false prophecy should have been apparent to believers from the beginning, for Scripture is clear that evil will not only remain in the world, but will increase before Jesus Christ returns.

Deuteronomy 18:22 states, "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously." False prophets in Israel were to be stoned. Mercifully, the church is to judge prophets and reject those who do not speak according to sound doctrine or whose word is not specifically fulfilled.

However, Christian leaders did not reject Hinkle’s prophecy as false but dissembled, claiming that an earthquake in South America or unknown event in the invisible realm fulfilled its conditions. Could not the latter rationalization be made for all prophecies that default?
"New" revelations extend beyond the parameters of God’s Word and give opportunity for false teachings to be introduced to the Church. The mischief that ensues from the acceptance of false prophecy is considerable. The transition from John Hinkle’s prophecy to Paul Crouch’s outrageous statement that Christians will soon remove the tares from the wheat was subtle. We have yet to see the damage that will result from Pat Robertson’s astonishing claim in a 1984 televised sermon that, "God spoke through a word of prophecy in May 1968, and said, ‘I have chosen you to usher in the coming of My Son.’"

(20) Robertson also announced then that the Christian Broadcasting Network will provide worldwide coverage of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Which "coming" is precarious, for it seems that more than one "Christ" is presently expected to return. One researcher has pondered Pat Robertson’s prophecy:
"I can’t see any way out of his cameras melting if he attempted such a thing with the true coming. II Thessalonians 1:7,8 describes that extraordinary day, ‘…when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire.’ II Peter 3:10 states, ‘But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.’"

(21) It is unlikely that Pat Robertson will televise the Lord Jesus Christ in His glorious return from heaven. Perchance it may be "that Wicked One, even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders."

ANOTHER CHRIST

New Agers have studied Bible prophecy carefully, especially Matthew 24, and have documented plans to technically stage a "Second Coming," which would be acceptable to Christians, New Agers, et al. David Bay, Director of Old Paths Ministries, says that these plans have been published in a book entitled, The Armageddon Script, by New Age leader Peter LeMesurier.

However, before that event, there will be another supernatural, psychic occurrence:
"Pope John Paul II is anxiously awaiting a potent world-wide Marian Vision. (World) chaos is to precede this vision.

This vision will validate the global reign of Pope John Paul II and will establish him as the ultimate spiritual Judge of the Planet… the purpose of this super-natural vision is to validate the Roman Catholic church as the only true church and this Pope as God's ordained leader.’…According to Vatican official, Malachi Martin, author of The Keys of This Blood, this event will be most powerfully psychic. The force accompanying this vision will be so powerful it will literally bring the normal activity of the world to a standstill. Men will be so moved that their ‘consciences will cry out with fear.’ This vision will produce an ‘engulfing chaos, along with misdirection, and disequilibruim in human affairs. In other words, the entire population of the world will experience a simultaneous changing of their minds…The vision will be preceded by either a loud sound, a bright light...

"These effects are identical to those which New Age writers have predicted during the appearance of Anti-Christ…

(1) A loud sound will be heard world-wide which will herald the coming of Maitreya, the Christ. Prompted by this sound, people will be aware of his coming on three distinct levels: Spiritual, physical, and emotional. (Alice Bailey's The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy, p. 173.)

(2) ‘...When Lord Maitreya appears, he will appear as different beings to different people… Thus, he will show that he is all things to all people.’ (Bill Lambert, speaking at Seminar, ‘Possible and Probable Events In The Future,’ Theosophical Society, Boston, Massachusetts, August 8, 1991).

(3) His three-dimensional image will appear over all nations of the earth simultaneously. He will speak to each ethnic group in their own language. We know this is technologically possible with computer images via telecommunication satellite. (Constance Cumbey, Hidden Dangers Of The Rainbow, p. 24-25).

"We also know that Satan could produce this phenomenon by his Super-Natural power alone. New Age writers clearly state, however, there will be a mixing of super-natural phenomena and advanced technology when the staging of the Anti-Christ occurs… New Age Leaders boldly state in their Plan to use the special effects of modern TV and movies to persuade the people of the world that Maitreya is who he claims to be. ‘...the use of such special effects should not be ruled out on this occasion.

The world's news-media can be counted upon to do the rest.’ (The Armageddon Script, Peter Lemesurier, St. Martin's Press, 1981, p. 236) The New Age book, The Messianic Legacy, states that the only way the Messiah could be super-naturally staged in all aspects that Christians are expecting would be through the use of "Hollywood."

(22) True believers will meet the Lord "in the air" (not on earth) and He will return with them to earth, not as a "peacemaker," but to destroy the nations gathered at Armageddon.
The unthinkable will become "religiously correct" when Evangelical and Charismatic shepherds lead an apostate Church in the worship of a false Christ. Revelation 13:15 further states that, "as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

JOEL'S ARMY

In view of this prospect, an alarming "new revelation" taught by the modern prophets is that the end-time Church is God’s army in Joel 2, which will judge the Old Order and bring in the Kingdom. In Prophecy Today, Clifford Hill explained, "This teaching is part of what is known as ‘dominion theology’ which teaches that an elite army of ‘overcomers’ will either destroy or subdue all the enemies of Christ until they eventually gain power and authority throughout the world.

The government of the nations will be upon their shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to them, Christ will return and they will present the kingdom to him."

(23) According to Rick Joyner, Christianity must be destabilized and redefined by modern apostles, prophets, etc. to finalize Alice Bailey’s plan to "take the great basic doctrines and shatter the old forms in which they are expressed and held."

(24) "What is about to come upon the earth is not just a revival, or another awakening; it is a veritable revolution.

The vision was given in order to begin to awaken those who are destined to radically change the course, and even the very definition of Christianity.


The dismantling of organizations and disbanding of some works will be a positive and exhilarating experience for the Lord’s faithful servants. A great company of prophets, teachers, pastors and apostles will be raised up with the spirit of Phineas…"

(25) To sanctify this Machiavellian plot, Jack Deere recasts Joel 2 in the context of Ezekiel 9: "When this army comes, He says it’s large and it’s mighty. It’s so mighty that there’s never been anything like it before…‘begin the slaughter and begin it in the temple and begin it with the elders, the leaders of my people.’ And they walk through the land and they start and they begin to slaughter and you know it’s already started with the biggest names in His household? He has already started the slaughter…and it is coming now among the Church."

Note: Machiavellian plot – Deceitful, Tricky, Scheming, Designing, Wily, Underhanded, Conniving, Sneaky, Cunning, Crafty, Sly,

(26)Vineyard pastors James Ryle (Promise Keepers), John Arnott and Wes Campbell (Toronto Blessing) and prophets Bob Jones and Rick Joyner all report visions of "a bloody civil war" in the Church:
"James Ryle has had a similar vision. The Lord even showed him how the blue coats stand for the revelatory, the revelation, and the grey for grey matter, man's wisdom.

And in this context the north fought the south and the south fought the north, and the south wanted to keep the people enslaved. They wanted their money. They wanted their keep the system going. And the north said ‘No! Freedom! Freedom!’ And they went into a terrible fight, and it was father against son, brother against brother, and a man's enemies were in his own house. And the angel said this: ‘There won't be a house that escapes weeping.’"

(27)Such prophecies do not edify the Church, but are inflammatory and undermine the true unity of believers for which Jesus prayed in John 17. Nevertheless, they give increased momentum to the program of New Age leaders such as Alice Bailey, who wrote, "The reorganization of the world’s religions…is for the new world religion."

(28) Barbara Marx Hubbard divulged the real reason for the New Age mission, "There is an anti-evolutionary cadre of orthodox believers who focus on the limits of this life and the unworthiness of human nature. Now they would destroy our capacity to transcend…"

(29)She and other New Age leaders have estimated "that for planetary transformation to take place, up to one quarter of the inhabitants of the earth will have to be excised like a cancer."

Given the animosity that has been generated by Latter Rain prophets toward Biblical Christianity and the affinity of this movement for warfare terminology, it is hard to resist the suspicion that the New Age/Latter Rain regime will be using a militant Church to accomplish this.

Prophet Rick Joyner has even identified "Antichrist" as the traditional Church (30) and Jack Deere claims that modern prophets will execute the Tribulation judgments.
"You see why we're excited about someone like Paul Cain or Bob Jones coming on the scene? Or others that we've met…you know those two powerful witnesses in Revelation 11:3? You know what - they are first and foremost? They are prophets. He said they will prophesy for 1,260 days. He's going to end the last days just before His Son returns with a prophetic movement that will sweep the entire face of the earth and will eclipse anything we have ever seen before…the significance of these signs and wonders…But they don't just happen on the earth. They come because they are prayed for and they are predicted by God's people."

(31) It would be unwise to nonchalantly dismiss these claims as idle braggadocio. Paul Cain, Bob Jones, Rick Joyner and other Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God proponents have paranormal experiences on a regular basis and have demonstrated occult powers.

"Bob Jones (KFC’s resident seer) is a man who claims to have five to six visions and revelations per day.

We are talking about a man who thought he was a backslider when two days went by without a visitation from Jesus…Paul Cain…is called the ‘Terror of the Lord’…and has exhibited the ability to tell people the details of their lives, hidden sins and even things they have said in confidence to others. There have been reports of earthquakes and other natural disasters predicted by him…(and) power surges of electricity at places where he ministers."

(32)ANOTHER GOSPEL
False prophets preach "another gospel," which is not the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Vineyard scholar Jack Deere has even admitted that he is not sure of the true gospel.
In an interview, Deere told Robert Dean of Biblical Perspectives, "I used to be like you…thinking the gospel was simply justification by faith."

(33) This spiritual advisor to John Wimber, late Director of Vineyard Ministries, added that the gospel would have to include works, such as healing and deliverance. This false gospel of works is leading a vast religious system into spiritual deception.

Enchanted by signs and lying wonders and riding the ecumenical bandwagon, the Latter Rain/ Manifest Sons of God will be easily assimilated into the Mystery Religion revival foretold in Revelation 17.

II Thessalonians 2:10-11 describes God’s judgment, which has already begun in this movement: "…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
Gnostic doctrines are not a new revelations, as modern prophets tell us. Although they come in various expressions, they always contain the same lie the Serpent used to beguile Eve --"…then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods."

Neither are Gnostic doctrines the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather the false gospel of the "King over all the children of pride." This corrupt tree always bears evil fruit in the Church. "Gone is the understanding that we must be cross-bearers. The church now seeks adulation and quickly becomes a seed bed for pride, greed and power all under the guise of spiritual growth."

(34)There are few today who are willing to take the low seat at the Wedding Feast. Often we must look to the message of older generations (of whom the world was not worthy) for inspiration to seek a better resurrection and an heavenly country. Amy Carmichael, missionary to India in the early 1900s, scorned the vain imaginations of a worldly Church and would not glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

She wrote –

HAST THOU NO SCAR?

Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star,
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent.
Leaned me against the tree to die, and rent
By ravening beasts that compassed me, I swooned:
Hast thou no wound?
No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole. Can he have followed far
Who has no wound nor scar?

Some notes from: http://watch.pair.com/chronology.html

1821 - James Haldane Stewart promotes ecumenism and prayer for outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

"In 1821, [James Haldane Stewart] published Hints for a General Union of Christians for Prayer for the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. ... Haldane Stewart went further than Jonathan Edwards in that he organized a regular union for prayer; he also laid greater stress on the bringing together Christians of various denominations. It was a memorable day when he assembled in his rectory in Liverpool to discuss his plans such leaders of the Churches as...Edward Irving, founder of the Catholic Apostolic Church, but at this time still among the Presbyterians..." [Rouse 346]

1828-1835 - Edward Irving promotes Pentecostal signs and wonders as heralds of the last days.

"Irving, minister of a Scotch Presbyterian chapel in London in the early 1820s, won a following for his charismatic preaching, sharp social criticism, and proclamations of Christ's imminent return. He elaborated his eschatological views in 1828 Edinburgh lecture series on John's Apocalypse. Excommunicated by the London Presbytery in 1830 for heresy [he taught that Jesus' earthly nature was sinful], Irving continued to preach until his death in 1834 -- winning further notoriety by encouraging glossalalia ('speaking in tongues') as one of the 'signs and wonders' foretold by Jesus as a harbinger of the last days." [Boyer 87]

"...in Christian England...there had been a brief outbreak of Millenarianism inspired by Edward Irving. But after the death of the notable preacher in 1834 the fire went out of his movement, and no more were heard the prophesyings and the speaking in tongues which had characterized it in its heyday. His followers drifted nearer and nearer the doctrines of High Anglicanism...The beginnings of the Tractarian or Oxford Movement are usually dated to...1833. The growth of ritualism and practices associated with the Roman Church gave rise to fears that the Oxford Movement was leading a large section of the Anglican Communion back into the arms of Rome...and numbers of the Anglo-Catholic faithful left the Anglican Church for Rome or the Irvingites..." [Webb 126-7]

1904-5 - Welsh Revival includes ecstatic manifestations, as recorded by Jesse-Penn Lewis.

"For some time now it has been on my mind to try to put into language some of the things which it has been my painful experience to witness, and to pass through, in connection with the workings of Satan as an 'angel of light,' but everything seemed so complicated and confused...
"From a book recently written, said to contain the very words of the Lord Jesus, spoken THROUGH some of His children, and written down as spoken in the first person, the following brief extract is taken, showing the extent of the mediumistic control by deceiving spirits, which some are believed to be the work of the Holy Spirit.*
"The Lord Jesus is supposed to have said:---
"'The manifestations of the Spirit, in some things, are very strange. Sometimes He will twist the body this way, and that, and the meaning is dark to you...If you had spoken in your own tongue, when the Spirit came in, it would have graciously blessed you; but perhaps you might have thought it was yourself, as many have. So the Spirit comes in and speaks in an unknown tongue to you, that you might know that it was NOT YOURSELF SPEAKING...
"'Your hands He has often lifted up, and again He has raised your fingers in various ways. Your eyes open and shut by the Spirit now, as they did not before. Your very head has been shaken by the Spirit, and you have not known why He did this. You have thought sometimes, it was just to show He was living there, and that is true, but there is more in it than that, and He will show you as well as He can, in a few words, what some of these things are...
"Some things in the manifestations are very peculiar to you. You have gone on wondering about them. You have gone on wondering about them. Don't think it strange that the Spirit works in you in many ways. His work is more than two-fold work. It is manifold. This is puzzling many minds. They see the Spirit shaking. They hear Him singing. They FEEL HIM LAUGHING, and they are sometimes tried with His various twisting and jerkings, as though He would tear them to pieces.

"Sometimes it seems He is imitating the animals in various sounds and doings. This has been all a mystery to the saints. His work, I say, is manifold. He seeks, in some, to show them that they are all one with each other, in the whole creation... If He shows you, by making a noise as of some wild animal, and that you are like that, you must not despise His way of working, for the Holy Spirit knows why He does it. He makes these noises in the animals, can't He make them in you?

"*This book is circulating amongst deeply devoted believers, and is held by some as of equal value with the Bible." [Penn-Lewis 319]

"Notable among the 150 000 estimated converts of the [Welsh] Revival are George & Stephen Jeffrey's who later went on to found the Elim Movement, and David Powell Williams, the founder of the Apostolic Pentecostal church. It is also worth mentioning its effect on Rees Howells, intercessor and founder of the Bible College of Wales and David Lloyd George, who later became the British Prime Minister.

The results of the Revival cannot be measured by the countless chapels that lie deserted on the Welsh hills today, but in the multitude of changed men and women who went on to effect the course of the twentieth century under the guidance of the Almighty." [Evans]

David Lloyd George [1863-1945] - Prime Minister of England from 1916-1922; Past Member of Committee of 300 [Coleman]; Key British negotiator at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where he helped to found the Royal Institute of International Affairs [British counterpart of Council on Foreign Relations].

910 - Ecumenical Movement begins with the Edinburgh Missionary Conference.

"[John Raleigh Mott] was involved in convening the 1910 Edinburgh Missionary Conference. Out of this gathering an interdenominational committee was formed. This is now regarded as the beginning of the ecumenical movement." [Gentz 713]

"In October, 1910, the day before the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church met at Cincinnati, Bishop Brent...spoke of the Edinburgh Conference, of the need for unity there revealed, and of his own conviction that the time had come to examine differences frankly in a world conference on faith and order. Robert Gardiner, an influential layman, suggested that steps should be taken to secure some definite action by the Convention.... The Commission was duly appointed, and elected... Robert Gardiner Secretary. While it was Brent who conceived the idea of a world conference on faith and order, it was upon Gardiner that most of the work fell.... But it was to Gardiner that clergy and laity looked as their leader in this new enterprise; and not men of his own Church only -- within a very short time he had correspondents all over the world.
How he came to know as much as he did about the Churches of the world, no one knew... Continentals spoke of him as 'the noblest figure that American Christianity has produced.'" [Rouse 407, 420]
1916-18 - Liberal Catholic Church established and controlled by Theosophists

"Established in England in 1916 through a reorganization of the former Old Catholic Church, the new movement quickly spread to other countries and in 1918 adopted its distinctive name, The Liberal Catholic Church. Its episcopal succession is derived from the Old Catholic Church of Holland..." [Alban]

"In 1916, [Charles Leadbeater] accepted a Bishopric in the Liberal Catholic Church...in 1713 the majority of the Dutch clergy refused to acknowledge a papal bull condemning Jansenism and consequently left the Catholic Church,... They formed the 'Old Catholic Church,' and it was Gerard Gul, the Old Catholic Archbishop of Utrecht, who in 1908 consecrated Arnold Mathew... It was through Mathew that Leadbeater of theTheosophical Society obtained his Bishopric. For Mathew's tiny church soon seceded from the Dutch Old Catholics, and by the beginning of the First World War had become seriously infected the Theosophy. The responsibility for this state of affairs was that of James Wedgwood, who had in his youth been a devout Anglo-Catholic,...From 1911-13 he had acted as General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in England. But in the latter year the longing for the priesthood overcame him, and Mathew was persuaded to ordain him. By 1916 Wedgwood was a Bishop, and he set sail for Sydney... where he ordained Leadbeater. The control of the little church thenceforward rested securely in the hands of the Theosophist;..." [Webb 103,130]

1920, August 12-20 - Geneva Preparatory Conference on Faith and Order

"The Commission of the Protestant Episcopal Church...decided to invite all cooperating Committees and Commissions to send three delegates each to Geneva 'to decide what subjects should be prepared for the World Conference [on Faith and Order]'. In response there assembled...in Geneva, from 12-20 August, 1920, Church leaders from 'about fourteen nations representing seventy autonomous Churches, including all the great families or groups of Trinitarian Churches, except for the Church of Rome, which had declined to participate'... It appointed a Continuation Committee, a decision of immense importance for the future... Mr. Robert H. Gardiner [was elected] Secretary." [Rouse 417]

1921 - International Missionary Council

“[John Raleigh] Mott became chairman of the new International Missionary Council, which was formed in 1921, later to become an integral part of the World Council of Churches.” [Gentz 713]

1927 - First World Conference on Faith and Order

"Edinburgh 1910 gave the impulse which issued in the World Conference on Faith and Order [at Lausanne in 1927]." [Rouse 360]

See: Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism

1930 - Universal Christian Council for Life and Work

“In 1930 at its meeting in Chexbres the continuation committee of the Stockholm conference [of 1925] became the Universal Christian Council for Life and Work. But this was a change in name rather than in structure.” [Rouse 698]
1937, August 3-18 - Second World Conference on Faith and Order

"[At the Edinburgh Conference] the recommendation to approve a World Council of Churches was carried. There was a growing feeling that the Universal Christian Council on Life and Work and the World Conference on Faith and Order tended increasingly to cover the same ground. Consequently, Faith and Order appointed a small committee to confer with a similar committee of Life and Work... This was the first hint of the movement which was to grow until it brought the two bodies together in the World Council of Churches." [Rouse 433, 426]

1937-38 - The World Council of Churches Provisional Committee

"[John Raleigh] Mott...was chairman of the second Life and Work Conference at Oxford in 1937 and vice chairman of the provisional committee of the World Council of Churches in 1938. In 1948 he was made a co-president of the newly formed council." [Gentz 713]

1942 - National Association of Evangelicals

"Unfortunately, the fundamentalist controversies of the 1920s (stereotyped by the media in the Scopes 'monkey trial' in Dayton, Tennessee) labeled theological conservatives as reactionary and anti-intellectual. Responding to the need for a positive, pro-active expression of unity, the National Association of Evangelicals was formed in 1942. Its leaders soon began to receive strong signs of interest from other countries. Discussions between leaders in North America, Europe, and Asia revealed that national bodies of evangelicals wanted to connect with each other worldwide but did not feel theologically comfortable in the orbit of the World Council of Churches (WCC), formed in 1948." [Fuller]

1945, June 6 - United Nations Created

"The [U.N.] Charter was signed in San Francisco on June 26, 1945, by 50 nations." [World Almanac 529]

1948 - World Council of Churches formed

"[John Raleigh] Mott...was chairman of the second Life and Work Conference at Oxford in 1937 and vice chairman of the provisional committee of the World Council of Churches in 1938. In 1948 he was made a co-president of the newly formed council." [Gentz 713]

November 28 – National Council of Churches

“The Federal Council of Churches changed its name to the National Council of Churches (NCC) on November 28, 1950.” [Wardner 159]
1974 - International Congress on World Evangelization in Lausanne, Switzerland

"In July 1974, the International Congress on Evangelism held a pinnacle gathering in Lausanne, Switzerland. The 10-day event, focusing on the theme of 'Let the Earth Hear His Voice,' brought together more than 2,400 evangelical leaders from 150 nations and ignited a passion and renewed commitment to 'carry the Christian Gospel to all corners of the world before the end of this century.'

"By the close of this unprecedented meeting, the Lausanne Covenant, a 3,000-word document had been written and signed by 1,972 of the attendees. It affirmed 15 points including the Purpose of God, Authority and Power of the Bible, Christian Social Responsibility, the Urgency of the Evangelistic Task and the Return of Christ.

The document's final paragraph called each one to 'enter into a solemn covenant with God and with each other to pray, to plan and to work together for the evangelization of the whole world.' For many, this would be uncharted territory. Some had never worked with people outside their own denominations or language groups.

"Dr. Billy Graham, serving as the honorary chairman of the congress, urged everyone in the audience to go from Lausanne and 'do the work of an evangelist.' He called for rededication and total commitment to the task ahead.” [Cedar]

"...we affirm that evangelism and sociopolitical involvement are both part of our Christian duty. For both are necessary expressions of our doctrines of God and man... Christ's evangelists must humbly seek to empty themselves of all but their personal authenticity in order to become the servants of others, and churches must seek to transform and enrich culture, all for the glory of God." [Lausanne Covenant]

1989, January 5-8 - Second International Congress on World Evangelization [Lausanne II]

"In 1989, Lausanne II, the second International Evangelism Conference convened by the International Lausanne Committee in Manila, Philippines, became yet another place for inspiration and unity.

Christian leaders from 150 nations were brought together again, and were commissioned to take the "spirit of Lausanne" back to their nations - with renewed vigor - as the millennium drew to a close." [Cedar]

"The Lausanne II Fact Sheet has this to say about the churches and denominations involved in the Lausanne Movement: "The Lausanne movement is inclusive rather than exclusive.

Individuals who are members of virtually every Christian church and denomination in the world are involved in the Lausanne movement. It includes members of the mainline Protestant denominations that are a part of the World Council of Churches, such as Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Baptists, Lutherans, Disciples of Christ, etc.

It also includes members of more conservative churches that are a part of the World Evangelical Fellowship, such as the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Pentecostals, Conservative Baptists, Independent churches, etc.

There are many para-church organizations involved in the Lausanne movement, such as Campus Crusade for Christ, World Vision International, the World Bible Societies, African Enterprise, Youth with a Mission, Youth for Christ, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, etc.

"'OFFICIAL OBSERVERS AND SPECIAL GUESTS AT LAUSANNE II IN MANILA' were identified as coming 'from the Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church in Rome; from the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow; from the World Council of Churches in Geneva; from the Greek Orthodox Church in Athens; as well as special guests from many other churches, denominations, and para-church organizations which usually are not part of the Lausanne movement.'" [Foundation: Lausanne II]

Jay Gary was Program Director for the Lausanne Movement and organized the 1989 Global Consultation on World Evangelism (GCOWE) through A.D. 2000 and beyond. During GCOWE, the Latin American contingent submitted a written statement expressing strong objections to the inclusion of Roman Catholic clergy as conference participants: "The religious political force of the Roman Catholic Church is using all means available and is in fact the most fierce opponent of all evangelistic efforts on our part... Cooperating with Catholics goes beyond our historical and biblical commitment." [Gary 11]

1990 - Formation of AD2000 & Beyond Movement

"Following Lausanne II, the Lord impressed upon American Church leaders to respond to the urgency of the 'Great Commission' and the task of evangelism in a new era.

As a prayerful response to the Manila Conference, the AD2000 & Beyond Movement formed in 1990. The AD2000 & Beyond Movement convened a national consultation in Phoenix, Arizona and introduced the concept of citywide strategies for the United States." [Cedar]

1991 - Bimillennial Global Interaction Network

"[Jay Gary] Launched the BIMILLENNIAL GLOBAL INTERACTION NETWORK as a global network of groups sharing information on how they plan to inaugurate the Bimillennial Era. It is this group, known as BEGIN or Celebration 2000, and Jay Gary,

which appears to provide a link between global spiritualists

like [former Asst. Secretary General of the United Nations] Rober Muller and evangelical Christians." [Kanz]

1993 - U.S. Lausanne Committee Prayer Summit

"In 1993, the U.S. Lausanne Committee convened a Prayer Summit in Portland, Oregon attracting some 300 Christian leaders. The committee adopted the basic agenda of the AD2000 & Beyond Movement for the remainder of the 20th Century." [Cedar]

1994, March 29 - Evangelicals and Catholics Together Document

"On March 29, 1994, evangelicals and Roman Catholic leaders released a...document titled Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium." [Foundation Mar/Apr 1994]


1996 - Mission America Launched

"Mission America was officially launched and established an office in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1996 and began promoting the national evangelism initiative Celebrate Jesus 2000.” [Cedar]

1997, June - United Religions Organization

"According to its literature, the United Religions Organization [URO] launched its written charter this past June, 1997. The institution should be fully in place by June 2000 and globally operational by June 2005. The headquarters will be at the Presidio...in San Francisco, USA. The UR is patterned after the UN, it has a General Assembly, a Security Council and a Secretary General, and 'the UR is meant to be for religions what the UN is for nations,' claims Cornelia R. Ferreira, a critic of the URO." [Howard]

The Great tribulation Period

The Planetary Pentecost

My notes Planetary synonyms:– Earthly, worldly, Global, universal, comprehensive, total, inclusive, overall, large-scale, sweeping, across-the-board, all-encompassing, far-reaching, wide-ranging, broad, wholesale, global, international, intercontinental, major, important, significant, extensive, worldwide, leading, macro, worldwide, international, material, mortal, secular, everyday, human, soul, creature, person, mortal, animal, beast, organism, insect, living thing, creature, animal, being, whatsoever, whatever, possible, at all, Terrestrial, Environmental.

"Maitreya will be invited by the international media to speak directly to the entire world through the television networks linked together by satellites.

On this Day of Declaration, we will see his face on the television screen wherever we have access. The biblical statement, 'All eyes will see him,' will be fulfilled, in the only way in which it can be fulfilled. We will see his face, but he will not speak. His thoughts, his ideas, his call to humanity for justice, sharing, right relationships and peace, will take place silently, telepathically.

Each of us will hear him inwardly in our own language. In this way, he will re-enact on a worldwide scale the true happenings of Pentecost 2,000 years ago...In celebration of this event, Pentecost will become one of the major festivals of the New World Religion which, eventually, Maitreya will inaugurate." [Crème 24]

"You have come home to me. The bread and wine hold within them the substance of my new body. The key for you now each day is to breathe deeply in a 'birthing experience' of the resurrected body. Then do the communion and experience my body transforming yours.

Do this in preparation for the Planetary Birth which will be induced through this experience given to the new disciples of Christ who chose to work together for the Planetary Pentecost, when the Spirit of God is poured out upon all people.

This is the purpose of your mission on Earth. All your projects will be reoriented, aligned and empowered as you accept this purpose and put it first. . . . finally." [Hubbard 311]

"For many years Bob Jones has received valuable revelations on [the Day of Atonement] outlining activities of the Holy Spirit for the seasons ahead.

The season surrounding the upcoming Day of Pentecost will be a point of demarcation for those identified as this generation of youth. The interval between Atonement and the Day of Pentecost will be utilized for indoctrination and consecration for those things following the release that should take place during the season of heightened spiritual intensity surrounding Pentecost... [A] portion of the revelations also highlighted the season surrounding the upcoming feast of Pentecost as a pivotal time of transition for the church. Again, we are admonished to allow the term between the Feast of Tabernacles and the season of Pentecost as preparation for those days that follow the ‘shifting of gears’ that will transpire around Pentecost." [Jones]

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 7:21-13

Shrine of the Prophets

“What was David ben Gurion’s idea? '…In Jerusalem the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the Supreme Court of Mankind to settle all controversies among the federated continents’.” [Graham 81]

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. II Cor. 6:14-18
