False Christian teachings, trends….
In the 27-minute Mp3 sermon of this post, Pastor Ramsey discusses Pentecost in terms of all the other one-time, unrepeatable events that preceded it; that is, it is the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and prophecies. In the process, he helps listeners see links between Old Testament prophecies and New Testament events. These are explained mostly via events and teaching from the book of Acts. [Highlights points of sermon are provided for those who would rather read]
The purpose of this series is to show that Bible covenants cause the Old and New Testaments to have unity. The Old and New Testaments, are the revelation of One God to a people He is calling out of this world. One can easily see the truth of that statement if he/she looks at God’s plan of redemption via the covenants He entered into with mankind in order to restore him, to redeem him. Excerpts from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion will be used to support my purpose statement.
The video of this post is from the YouTube site: Mike (Joyful Exile). Mike uses sermon excerpts of Pastor Voddie Baucham confronting the false teachings of the following counterfeit pastors: Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Steven Furtick, Kenneth Copeland, Rick Warren, Bill Johnson, and Gino Jennings. Video imagery of Joyce Meyer and Oprah are shown in the process of this expose’ of false teachers and ministries [a chart that contrasts God-centered and man-centered worship concludes this post, as this post is largely about man-centered worship and a Christian needs to be able to identify that]
This post contains a 2-minute excerpt of a Pastor Justin Peters talk; the excerpt illustrates Steven Furtick teaching the ‘little gods’ doctrine to his congregation. Via the two clips of Furtick sermons, Peters shows how that heretical little gods doctrine has changed, to become even more blasphemous. He says in a video about Furtick from his own website, Flee Furtick.
False “Apostle” Kathryn Krick is the “pastor” of 5F Church. She claims divine revelation and the power to cast out demons. Her followers bow in front of her & show her veneration calling her “Mama”. Others have recognized the cult like nature of her ministry
Houston Police reported responding to a shooting at Lakewood Church, the worshiping home of pastor Joel Osteen, on Sunday. Police said the shooter died at the scene, and two people were injured in the shooting. NBC News’ Jesse Kirsch reports.
In the 12-minute video of this post, Pastor Michael Grant provides video clips and explanations to arrive at 7 reasons one should not listen to false prosperity preacher Joyce Meyer. In closing, he provides some very sound instructions for those whose local churches are unbiblical like Joyce Meyer.
This post is explains some errors of Keswick theology by comparing it with scripture. An excerpt: After salvation one must have another encounter with the Spirit; otherwise, he or she will not progress into holiness or the “deeper” things of God. This second encounter with the Spirit, in Keswick terminology, is called “entire sanctification,” “the second blessing,” or “the second touch.” This emphasis on a second, post-salvation experience corresponds with the Pentecostal idea of the “baptism” of the Spirit. Some Keswick teachers would even say that sinless perfection is possible after one receives the “second blessing.”
This post contains a video by John Henry that critiques false prosperity and word-of-faith teachers: Joel Osteen; Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Victoria Osteen, Robert Morris, Joseph Prince. They are all shown to say the same things that Osteen speaks. In the middle of the video, a Ted Talk on Law of Attraction is given. Thereafter, Osteen’s words are compared and shown to be 99% Law of Attraction (secular philosophy), with 1% scripture. John MacArthur and Justin Peters clarify and contrast the false teachings with scripture. MacArthur closes by specifying how these heretics are stumbling blocks in the church
This post aims at supporting the last post, which was about false prosperity preacher Andrew Wommack. Got Questions Ministries provides a very brief biblical perspective on the seven-mountain mandate and those who hold that man-centered doctrine.
